gear

Dear All, After getting back from South Wales today, I would like to ask: what is the best technique for carrying speed into and out of a corner in a Trophy? I know all corners are different: different gears required, different braking points, different throttle pressure etc, but is there a...

Having just stepped out of an R27 into a Trophy i was wondering how many miles you guys were getting out of a tank? I seem to be averaging 31mpg on the daily commute, a fair bit more than the R27 at around 26mpg but that also had a bigger tank, so couldn't get my head round the maths!! :oops: I...

Well after selling my Trophy i realised that finding a replacement for it wasn't going to be easy, after considering many many different cars i decided to stick with another hatch and decided to stick with Renault as i really do like how they drive, very soon i found this........... Only had...

Red Line oils have an awesome reputation for quality, and are (on the quiet) used by many race and rally teams. The Red Line gear oils are one of our best selling ranges of products here at Opie Oils, but their ester synthetic engine oils have lurked a little in the shadows, their quirky 1...

Hiya guys just wondered if anyone knows how to remove the standard gear knob?? Also what tyre pressures are you guys using for every day rod use? (Exalto's)

PLEASE Don't hate me for asking this BUT.........I am wanting to get my dampers serviced as I have gone passed the 36k mark long ago! But also while doing this I would like to get new dampers on the rear (koni) and also get some Mark Fish springs. How much would I be looking at spending to get...

i missed top gear on sunday night and cant remember what night its repeated

Hi all Ive just recently fitted a cat-back RS192 and ever since the engine doesnt run properly when cold. At 1000-2000 revs when gently accelerating i.e. 10-20% throttle it pops and farts and doesnt want to go at all, but when the revs get up to 3ishk and above it springs back into life. this...

I dont think this guy likes us 'rich boys', and no there is more than 18 cups in the UK!(ok i know he means inferno ones with recaros) but still...

im happy that the renault beat the focus round the track, think it did it in 1.28.1 and focus 1.29.3, its 73 bhp less and £2000 cheaper but i will say the focus is much better looking and with all the luxuries on board itl be a better bet for everyday driving. if i wanted the car for performance...

Dont know if you know this but its on 5th gear later, should be interesting to see how much its moved on.(if any?) :?: Not to everyones taste I will admit but booked a test drive later this week :oops:

After having started this topic: viewtopic.php?f=2&t=7506 about the Trophys ESP + SERV lights coming on together (not serv + airbag like most get), i am wondering if that guy in 2006 was right that when these lights come on the T needs a new steering rack? Hope not... What sort of symptoms...

Group buy prices, without the group. We're doing a group buy with a difference... the group size needs to be 1 :-) Yep, as a one-off, we've taken prices as low as we can - frequently 30% off our usual prices - on a wide selection of engine oils, gear oil, transmission fluids and our...

Ok, I think this is a different one. Mine sounds fine until you go over the magic 3K rpm mark. Then as the engine revs go down towards 3k (decelerate) the exhausts rattles and moans alot. It stops at the 3K point on the way down too. The extra vibrations from this can be felt though the gear...

Hey. :D Ive just had these fitted to the Trophy along with the powerflex dogbone mount. I decided to buy these mounts because while back I had my car put on the RR and I was shocked by the amount of movement from the Engine under acceleration and when backing off the pedal at high revs. The...

This guy's a legend and the video's shot nicely too.... KEN BLOCK GYMKHANA TWO

Anyone using a smaller redtop battery or similar in your road car how have you got on with it holding its charge etc If you relocated it where too etc Thanks

Can this be a vote on the two cars above. It is not a discussion on which is better. Simply answer 197 or Trophy. Please don't just pick a trophy because you have one and are unable to see past it (although it is a great little car). Thank you. jsthomson
