Hi guys and gals!
Got my car through its first mot today, passed with flying colours! Also had a full service, so the car feels like new now.
I was talking to the mechanic, saying i wanted to put a sport manafold and a bigger exhaust on it, and his words where, and i quote! ''Its already...
Hi everyone!
Just got myself a 2004 182 clio, black, had a golf 1.6 previously and my fiancee purchased a civic type r! So i needed a car that would keep up but not be silly evo expensive!
I want to get an induction kit fitted and get the engine tuned, is this a good idea?? ( she still...
I have been meaning to get one since I bought the car. Finally got one from the scrap yard for £12 got it fitted, and never looked back.
I never realised what I had been missing, what with this lovely sunny weather we have been having NOT :cry:
Anyone that hasnt done it get it done know.
the friday just gone i took my car to sanspeed to get it remapped.
it was getting a custom map on the rolling road, and i was lucky enough to get it on the dyno dynamics which they have only had for about 2 months.
anyways, i know that clios never put out factory figures on the rollers but...
My car is now back from Ben, who fitted cams, modifed inlet and a re-map. His only concern was that as the car has only done 4,000 miles, all on the ex-factory full synhthetic oil, that the rings may still not be fully bedded in - wants me to use ordinary mineral for a while - and so installed a...
Just curious, My car is going back to Renault tomorrow to fnally get the creaking noise fixed... Only its 4th Trip to dealers!
Was under the bonnet this evening and noticed when the ignition is on there is a loud buzzing sound coming from the engine (Somewhere under the inlet manifold) Call...

Ok, so how many people here have had/driven both the trophy and 172's and 182's? to those of you that have I was just wondering how much better you would say the handaling is on the trophys then other clio sports.
Also how hard is the suspension as i have had a few ppl say that it is very...
Been told if i fit a decat it will invalidate my insurance, yet i can fit it for use on trackdays.
The reason is; decat makes car not road legal, was told this is industry wide issue as well :shock:
Yozza decat anyone?
So I took my trophy down to Mark fish motorsport today for its 24K service and a geometry check. he phoned me up an hour ago and reported a 3/4 of a degree difference in camber angles between each side, so im glad I asked him to check this.
This is the more worrying problem with my car...
The clio came back to me Wed night and I am very impressed with my custom exhaust by Advanced Automotive Solutions Newcastle.
It is a full system and is considerably lighter than original system.
I can feel the power a bit earlier on, along with a sweet sound that builds up great above...

Is anyone able to give an accurate weight for the Orbisoud system? Race version, manifold back with sports cat. I cant find the information anywhere.
Also would be keen to know what the standard system weighs to compare the two.
Thanks
Hi all - been looking to invest in a trophy for some time, but due to my age (22) havent really been able to afford the insurance, tax, servicing, etc.
However the time has come to go all out and get me one of these cracking little cars.
About to pick up number 31 tomorrow which is as...
Hello, just wondering, as I have no experience of the clio sport range on how easy it is to tune the trophy or a basic 182 to 200hp? I am a believer in keeping rare, unique cars as standard as possible so subtle mods would be preffered! What have other members done?
Cheers this is my...
Coming up for my 24K service and just wanted to know where people near me went. I live near stansted.
All I seem to hear is ren-tech, ren-tech, but there is no way im going to portsmoth to service my car! well maybe lol
Cheers
Ive just had a reply from Ben about the exhaust they are develooping and this is what he had to say:-
Hello Michael,
The exhaust is indeed something that is very special, however the custom
components are expensive and rather fancy.
Cost will be in the region of £1000-£1200, yet it...
Hi guys/gals
Looking at getting myself a group N ecu fitted as i have just got a milltek + performance filter want to get the Group N to bring it all together to get a nice little gain will also have the inlet matched too in time.
Just wanted to see if anyone can shed some light and tell...
Hi Guys
I'm going down to France later this year, so I thought I'd ask Orbisoud how much one of their exhausts costs to collect from the factory gates. This is their reply;
hello,
price line complete racing : 1006 euros ht.
soft : 1087 euros ht.
best...
Has anyone got one of these on there Trophy?
Are they any good? I know the orbsund is the bees knees of exhausts but is it worth it?
Anything come close to the obsund sound for cheaper?
Apart from the itg filter panel is there anything else to modify or is it good in pure form(don't...
Took my Trophy up to Ben R's place on Wednesday along with a couple of mates and am staggered by the difference to my car.
Mid range has improved dramatically and the torque is much more like a Williams now.
If anyone wants a go in my car let me know?
:D
