Hi all, just to introduce myself, I have just bought 449 and loving it already! I signed up to get more info before buying, the forum is great to find out about the potential issues and fixes.
The Clio is a 2nd car for fun, there are a few minor jobs to do, four new PS3s are going on...
does anyone have any more news on the JMS RS2, i have one fitted, are people still having problems mine's only putting out 180bhp instead off the 190ish promised, spoke to an rs tuner and he said he could have got 180 with a remap which is exactly what he did with his brothers car and it was...
Just had my renewal quote on my bike, bearing in mind I paid £106 last year with no experience and no no-claims bonus.
My renewal quote was £360 now I have a years no-claims! General searching on the web was struggling to get below £200.
After 6 hours of insurance quotes, got it down to £110...
Had a puncture on the motorway, stopped as quick as I'd noticed but not quick enough :(
Luckily my car had a spare wheel and tyre in the boot, but as the exalto is no longer available I'm totally stuck with what to buy now.
I think the it is going to be the new Michelin but not convinced...
Well after being up at my local renault today i was speaking to the warrenty advisor and i asked about my melted steering wheel, He says he has only ever changed one and that was last week on a 197 and funnily enough that was my brothers car.
He said my best bet was to call Renault UK and i did...
The trophy is in need of new brake very soon.
Going to need disc and pads all round.
Got standard on the rear and brembo drilled and grooved discs on the front at the mo.
Whats the best to put on?
Dont what to be spending a fortune but want something thats going to work well.
The modifying bug has bitten again.What a nightmare for my Credit Card.
Had to replace the clutch so I thought lets put in a light weight flywheel.
But then I couldn't stop myself and the following has been done.
1.Flywheel
2.KTR Cat and Exhaust
3.Solid top mounts
4.Rear ARB
5.Uprated engine and...
Does anyone have a part number for it, and if its still available?
Is the Trophy meant to have any other window stickers? Just wanna make sure my cars 'right'.
My dampers were due a refurb and was finding time to get them sorted then a good deal appeared o CS and was to good to miss:cool:
So decided to buy new and they arrived yesterday;)
So ive also bought rear Sach shocks and now deciding what springs to invest in.
I should have some change from...
Shit
I just heard a loud bang from outside, looked out the window to find todays strong winds have blown tiles clean off my roof onto my beloved trophy, landed square on the bonet denting it and smashed my wing and headlight.
Spent the past 4 years doing everything I could to keep it...
Watching this just makes me cringe, the shot through into the mint engine bay that pans out to a smashed exterior is pretty gratuitous.

Hi everyone,
Sorry to say my period of Trophy ownership has come to an end, as someone at the more senior end of the age spectrum I decided to get something more fitting to my pipe and slippers image - Saab 9-3 Aero, full power turbo, full leather interior, full service history etc. etc...

Hello!
I'm a 182 owner looking to buy a Sachs unit 36kmiles old, the seller said they're in perfect working order with no leaks.
Are they any tests or checks I can do on those to make sure they're actually in good nick, I obviously don't expect them to work like knew but at least to postpone the...
Hello all,
Does anyone know where I can get hold of the genuine Renault/Sachs stickers that are found at the bottom of every Sachs damper on a Trophy?

Turned up first thing this morning for a cat-back 2.5in system with 2.5in cat mod and slash-cut 3.5in exits. Charlie and the guys did a great job, I was on the road by...

The MF springs are a bespoke spec which Mark Fish does for the Trophy! This setup is great and it's the one mod that I will miss the most. I already wish I still had it on the car. It's a significant improvement over the standard setup. Car feels much more direct and darty with the stiffer rear...
-Sabelt Steering Wheel with OMP Steering Boss. In excellent used condition. Only the shiny part at 4 and 8 o'clock positions where the suede has been compressed through use. It may or may not be brushed back to life, I don't really know. Apart from that, there are no marks anywhere else on the...
Fear not, instead of going to Renault, who will charge you £50-£60 for a new one, there is a company that can create you a spare/replacement one £13 delivered. You need the FER key number which can be found in your log book. I'd lost mine recently and the Renault garage suggested I contact...
We hope you like the transformation. For some of you the vbulletin software will be familiar (i.e. ClioSport), but please take your time to look around.
There is still some work to be done so please be patient, and report any errors or problems in this thread.

First off, I didn't spot my own car! :lol: #-o :lol:
I was spotted by a previous owner (possibly mattd1984), he liked the exhaust and thought the car looked great. Made my day that did. :D
My car has always struggled to start on the first go in cold weather.
Usually one turn of the key fires then dies, second turn is an instant startup.
I have never worried much about it, I just assumed that it was some kind of fuel pressure / priming sort of thing going on.
The only other...
