I have fallen in love with all vechiles BMW m3 so in 6 months time and a lot of saving i am going to get one . I have never driven one so any comments on handling performance mpg .
I was driving down the M6 yesterday and got thinking about the feasability of fitting a six speed box in the little beast.
Would this be possible?
I know they used six speeders in the Cup cars, but they were sequential and expensive, also probably not ideal ratios for the road.
How about a...

Just got 2 brand new Michelin's from MyTyres.co.uk and popped down to my local RSR Tyres branch to get them fitted where they told me that I needed the locking wheel nuts and key to get the wheels off. Fair enough I thought, and after much searching I've realised the Trophy didn't come with them...
Help guys!
I spent this morning researching the right oil to use in the Trophy on here, as my level was at three quarters when I checked it yesterday.
Anyway, I decided upon Mobil 1 5W-40 Fully Synthetic.
I then went to Halfords in a bit of a spacey mood and bought a litre of Mobil 1...
Reading some of the posts lately by people casually dropping things about the car like being able to disable the RAID by holding the switch down, checking the oil level electronically (a gem) and pulling the seat base forward, I thought there may be some other useful nuggets that all owners may...
Just a quick one, when I start driving in the V6 the doors lock once its doing about 10 mph, in the Trophy they don't. Is there any easy way to make the doors lock like the V6 does? or do I need the software, laptop and cable/plug arrangement? :?
Thanks Lee
Did my first trackday yesterday and i have to say that i enjoyed it even more than i expected too so i am counting the days down to the next one. I do have a few questions though for you guys that have done more than one and have upgraded their cars.
My trophy is standard and i thought the...
I just spotted this on the Renaultsport forum "panel of experts" bit:
Eldorado asked: 182 service
Am I right in saying that my 182 clio needs servicing either every 12k miles or every 12 months? If so, why was this changed from every 24 months? Isn't a service every year a little excessive...

very daft question but where is the tyre foam your surposed to get in the trophy
had the car from new now a year old, and today checked in the bag tied to the side of the boot which i always thought was tyre foam and its not, it a jack kit??
so where is the tyre foam or have i missed...
Hi,
Booking car in for service and enquired about prices if I provide my own oil. Woman tried telling me I need 5.5 litres of oil. I've done a search on past threads and I can't find any mention of needing more than 5 litres. The oil change guide in the forum suggests you only need 4.75...
just wondering what the point in having the jack in the car...?
if you dont use it for punctures because of the foam why bother at all....its already been said the jacking points on the sills arnt up to it either
i've took mine out the car ....saving 3kgs
What sort of life should you get from spark plugs in the Trophy????? Just wondering, mines going in for it's 2nd svs in the next week, just hit 10k but not sure if they should be changed. never serviced a car without changing them b4.
Has anyone had to change their headlight bulb yet? Was looking at upgrading the bulbs to PIAA ones but a little unsure how to change and exact type they are..
Took one out and it appears to be sort or fixed to the palstic holder... Anyone clued up on this?!
Hi all,
Went to Renault London West to book service #3 in and spotted a Trophy for sale.
Can't remember the plate (think it was '05) but it had an RAC windscreen (replacement unit) and was priced at £12,999 with under 10,000 on the clock.
Anyone from here?
Also managed to sit in...
I'm collecting my Trophy next week :D but i'd like to know what the service intervals are. Its on 5000miles at the mo so i'd like to be prepared for any immediate costs.
BTW:- Got my cliotrophy.co.uk sticker..just need the car! :lol:

Hi Guys (and lasses)
I'm about to take the plunge and part ex my mini cooper for a Clio 182 or 172.
The problem I have is which model? I know alittle bit about the BHP increase and the twin exhaust, but other than than, nothing!
Can anybody please guide me as to which one I should get...
can anyone tell me the exact differences between a trophy ,182 and 182 cup....no suprise the dealers have chucked all the old brochures and havent much of a clue about anything technical
cheers
I thought i would inform you of some shocking information that i found out while renewing my insurance.
When i purchased my Trophy last september Direct Line were my current insurers, so i phoned them and payed the additional £250. I payed this got the paper work through all was fine...
Hi. just realised if you remove your covers on your seats you allow access to the seat bolts. remove all and put 6mm nuts on the bolt then put the seat back on then tighten down to give excellent positioning!!!!! try it itll be worth it...................noticed on the driver side a small limit...
How much does the air con weigh in the trophy? Was told about 40kg - sound about right? Also, is stripping it out classed as a modification for insurance purposes?
Thanks
