    Trophy+Nos?

    The additional power from a nitrous system can be very addictive and because its such a simple job to increase the power (quickly changing a couple of jets), most users decide to take quick steps up the power ladder. It must however be remembered, that each step places increased demands on the...

    Little things that improve the trophy a lot?

    I've reduced my car fleet to just the trophy now, and an impending company car. So i've decided to allow myself to start modifying again! What have you all done to your trophies, and were the mods worth it? So far i've just fitted decent bulbs and a great stereo system. Just ordered a 172...

    Check your front discs - don't expect your Renault garage to

    Dudes, I am fuming. My Trophy went in for its third (i.e. north of £500) service a month ago at AKS Renault in Yeovil. Today it went for its first MOT at my trusted independent garage, local to work, who service my van fleet. It failed, as the rear pads are worn down to almost nothing, and...

    Brakes and Insurance

    Time has come to insure, tax and test my trophy. The car has passed its MOT but I've been advised that the front disks and pads could do with replacing. The car has only done 10k miles but the disks have corroded, due possibly to sticking pads. Naturally, the dealers said the warranty would...

    Brake Upgrade - Ideas and opinions please

    Hey guys, When I bought my Trophy a year ago the first thing I did was upgrade the brakes (to the little known CRN grooved discs and EBC RedStuff pads). I have to be honest they are actually very, very good (and I got them cheaper as they were part of a group buy in which my Good Lady also...

    Brake Discs/package

    I've decided to finally upgrade my front brakes. Having looked on Yozzasport, i discovered that the Original RenaultSport Front Discs are more expensive than the after market Brembo Plain Cut front brake discs by £40. Does anyone know why that is, i'd find it hard to believe that the original...

    My new Focus RS

    Just got the replacement for the Trophy yesterday. 20k miles on the clock and paid £14,750 from a trader completely factory standard. I feel guilty for saying it but it's better than the Trophy in every aspect in my opinion: The clutch pedal is harder, the brake pedal is harder and has...

    Anyone near Redhill?

    I've been told by R-sport that the brake lines on my Trophy are already braided, however, a lot of people on here swear by Goodridge braided brake lines with good results. Is there anyone near Redhill or Croydon who's fitted these lines able to let me test them out so I can see the difference...
