do angel works do remaps, i know they do the inlet manifold but dont know if they do remaps if they did i would consider getting both parts, ive heard there conciderd very highly for the renaultsports
How come the clio cup race cars have the filter bolted straight onto the inlet manifold? Ive seen 4 now and all have this set up.
Doesnt this cause heat soak?
Has anyone tried this on their Trophy, with what results?
Cheers Scott
my mum has treated an early birthday present giving me some money so i could get a remap, the closest place is gdi its only 20 miles where i live but been told the best place is is rstuning in leeds, and got told having a custom remap is better to suit your car than a group n. is there any...
has anybody been to gdi tuning to get anything done to there car? i wanna get a group n remap and inlet manifold, that will be the last mods i want on my trophy, just want to know if there any good or are is there anywhere else thats just as good or better? i live in northamptonshire east...

Guys
Been looking into upgrading my brakes, (even more so now because both front and rears are really worn), still mulling over whether i want a semi track set up and go down the Pagid blue/brembo HC set up, however I may want to just plump for a fast road use set up instead. I stumbled upon...
Yesterday morning i levered myself out of bed at 5.30 to make the 80 mile trip to Mark Fish to get;
Goodridge Braided brake hoses,
Pagid RS4-2 pads
Brembo Max discs
Combrake solid top mounts fitted
Sachs dampers unpinned
And camber (2 degrees) and alignment (10 minutes) dialed in...
Hi Folks,
While driving my girlfriends Trophy for the first time in ages the other night I was doing maybe 80MPH when I changed from 5th to 4th & put the throttle to the floor. Lots of smoke came out of the exhaust - after double checking it (repeated the gearchange) the same thing happened...
Hi Guys
I love my Trophy but i find it lacks any kind of i dont know ( Va Va Voooom ) I want to get a Cat back system and was wondering what you guys suggested. At the moment im thinking miltek simply because ive had a system on my old fiesta ( manifold back ) and loved the quality and sound...
Received my RSTuner Pro today from Henk at Fastchip.
Just finished setting it all up and have already backed up my current ECU files. The software is very easy to install and operate.
Will load Henks new 98Ron performance map tomorrow and report back.
Looking forward to sending him my...

I went 4 a 40 mile drive 2day, when i got home with the engine still running a popped the bonnet and put my hand on the inlet manifold and found it was only just warm.
Is this normal on a clio trophy?

Morning All
Had the car a few months now and i'm planning to add a few choice upgrades for the Trophy:
Brakes - not the powerful stoppers i thought
Group N - ECU
The car already has a CAT back Milltek exaust (give as lovely sound) and a K&N performance panel filter.
Im looking...
Has anyone had the 172/182 Inlet manifold / GDI ECU / Cam Package from gdi?
Think it looks quite good 1500 quid for 200bhp and 180 torque, i spent about £800 on ecu, exhaust and induction for my old 182 and probably didnt get near 180 torque, maybe 157 torque but nowhere near 180...
Hi
In the last couple of days when i've been driving hard the traction control and service warning lights flick on. When i press the traction control button it makes no difference - the warning light stays on!
When i have had chance to stop i turn the engine off and back on - and both...
Got to be honest, been lurking quite a lot on here and you all seem a good bunch of lads.
Anyway, here's some info on my car, I'll list the current spec in the first post and then I'll follow up how I've changed her since buying her last August. She's for sale by the way, and I may be...
Might sell if the price is right. Would accept £11,200.

Hello all,
I'm sure you've noticed i've been away for a few months and all has been quiet on my part.
Suffice to say after a broken elbow, torn thigh muscle, 2 fractured wrists, a dislocated thumb, 1 desktop and 2 laptop meltdowns and an unfortunate sudden death of a friend in australia...

Hi all,
Considering a new exhaust system for the Trophy. I want a manifold back with sports cat system - but main concern being how loud it is. I wan't it to be as quite as possible. Can anyone recommend systems they have/heard and point me in the right direction.
Thanks

Got the Trophy back on the road again! Massive thanks to Mike at Rentech for sorting this out for me giving up some of his evenings to get the car sorted. Yet again, fantastic customer service from Rentech and going further than they had to to get my car done. He even had it cleaned for me.
Car is making a grinding noise coming from underneath the car when its in gear at 2000rpm and 4000 rpm, doesnt do it when not in gear. Any one have any ideas ? going in to be looked at in a weeks time
I will be tentatively selling the trophy due to needing a bigger car :(
I've only had this beauty for 5 months but I need something with a bigger boot and 5 doors (looking at a Megane 225 Cup). I have personally done 5500 miles and the owner before did 10000. She's currently got 15,500 on the...

Thinking about having the K-Tec Group N Engine ECU Upgrade has anyone here had it done?
Benefits?
Good/Bad?
Plus has anyone had the Short throw Quick Shift Gear Leaver fitted?
Any Good??
Thanks
I am buying a car that needs a little spending on it including a 12,000 mile service, new front tyres, road tax, small dent repair (paint intact) and possibly a new wheel.
I really want to get the most out of this Trophy so what I want to know is:

I picked up #165 last night... and my girlfriend and I decided to take our cars out earlier this evening to grab a few pictures. Here they are! I'm still grinning having experienced the handling that the Trophy is renowned for. :D

So today i received my new ITG filter and excitedly went to put it on the car to find a small oil leak while fitting. There is a slight build up sitting on top of the inlet manifold which im worried about. This is where the manifold joins the block and there are a couple of little wells for...
