I just thought I'd tell people that I've sold my Trophy. :cry:
I've done 10,000 miles in 5 months, half a dozen trips to the Nurburgring in it, and a couple of Bedford trackdays. I've only ever driven it to, on or from a track, it seems !
It's been great fun.
But rwd, 360bhp, the howl of...
Just interested as its a "special" anyhow...
I doubt you want to change the suspension....(shocks)?

Mentioned about this in another xbox 360 thread. On Pistonheads we do a race aginst the clock each week. Last week was Back to the sun in any E class car.
This week is the 1/2 nurburg f1 circuit in any C class car. If your interested in having a laugh then give it a try. Add my gamertag...
What is the correct tyre pressures for the Exlato tyres.
Just had my tryes checked to see if i had a punture and they have no idea what the correct pressurs should be. Now i have looked in all of the hand books but cant find the information. I have spoken to the dumb arse dealership and...
After fitting my new adjustable wiper stalk, it got me thinking would it be possible to upgrade our AC to climate control by changing over the front panel?
I know things in life are rarely this easy but I thought I would ask.

I'm looking to upgrade the bulbs in my Trophy.
I've been on to the www.powerbulbs.co.uk website and the vehicle search only goes up to 2004 clios and recommends the following;
Indicator
PY21W
Low Beam
H7
High Beam
H1
I'm considering Philips Vison Plus for the H1 & H7 and...
just went outside to get something from the car, and noticed the front wheels looked a bit scuffed. i had a closer look and saw there was red paint on them too, and only scuffing in the inside half of the spoke, all around. after a while pondering it occured to me what it was from, sinc ei was...
What do all of you run as tyre pressure in the Trophy's stock tyres?
I have not been able to find much about this in the literature owing to the Trophy's unique rims...
Any suggestions openly welcomed :)
O.
most of you prolly know me and that I have a Williams... well it's pissing me off quite honestly. Fun and great as it is there are certain reliaility issues that will just not go away and I'm about to sink (see 'waste') yet more money into it to get it running for however long... I'm thinking...

Hello all
I've now done almost 2k miles and the car is really loosennig up. Seems to thrive on being driven hard. averaging 31mpg which is not bad overall.
Couple of issues:
1. Sometimes the rev limiter kicks in at 6400rpm. To stop this i stop and restart the engine. I thought it...
I hav had my Trophy now for a few weeks but I didnt receive a dedicated Renaultsport manual, or anything to explain the alarm, all I received was a basic clio manual, should I have had anything else?
when did i get my first one done. obviously only a small one. but iv done 3200 and ther are a few problems im goin to get renault to fix. shal i get a small service at the same time?
thanks
euge
So, assuming that I actually get a (trophysmall) should I follow the advice in the manual (which I assume will say baby it for 500, open up a bit more next 500 or something similar) or should I make sure she's warmed up properly and then give it death?
Also, is there a 1000 mile mini...
Nik, I'm not sure if we are allowed to sell on here, but I'm having a wee clearout and wondered if anyone wanted a few games.
I am selling Top Spin Tennis (boxed with manual), Spiderman 2 (boxed with manual) and also Need for Speed 2 Underground (boxed but no manual). £6 each I'll...
Looking to change my oil over the weekend, so I am just making sure that I have got everything I need - I have tried to search R'sport and C'sport forums but cannot find a guide...
Just after a bit of advice really from people who have changed oils on 172's or 182's.
What size socket will...
Hi guys, seems like a few of us are picking up Trophies this weekend, so how about some advise on what to look out for at the Dealership when checking the car over - just before we accept them ?
Can you think of more than this ?
1: CHECK FOR PAINT SCRATCHES/IMPERFECTIONS/STONE CHIPS
2...
What oil have Renault loaded the Trophy up with from new?
Through my other posts here, I was advised not to go to a fully syn after 1000 miles as the oil would be too thin etc, and that I should keep the running in oil in there, but would Renault really tell us to leave a running in oil in...
A few problems with my Trophy, picked up from the dealer last Saturday:
1. Alarm is oversensitive and almost always goes off 30 seconds or so after setting with one press of the key.
In the manual I've discovered that if you turn on the ignition and turn it off again immediately, this...
Just picked up my Trophy, would someone please explain how you operate the lumbar support on the seats? One is fully extended, the other is fully closed.
I also heard that you got a CD with the manual? Is this right? If so what's on it?
Mine's No 242 by the way.
Thanks for any help.
I know that the only way to accurately check your oil level is to use the dipstick, but on my 172, if I pressed the trip computer button once with just the ignition on, I would get an oil level reading on the dash. Can't get this to work in my Trophy, even though my owners manual tells me how to...
Call me stupid but after a week of owning the car I have failed to work out some things.
1- How do I display the mileage reset . What I mean is, I can see my total mileage but not the mileage that you reset when you fill with petrol.
2 - What is the little knob under the passenger mirror...
What camber does the Trophy run in relation to a normal 182.
I assume if its a track orientated car it will run heavy negative camber (nearly 3 degrees?) like a tarmac rally car?
Done the following to instead of the present Trophy?
Given it the F1 colour scheme
Had 'Renault F1' sticker on the side where trophy is (not called it the trophy)
Given it a 2.2 litre engine making 192 ish bhp but more torque
Given it a LSD
Given it distictive alloys
Had the plaque on...
Has anyone managed to source any more info on the exact setup of the trophy?
Spring rates/actual curbweight? etc etc
Im thinking a trip to a weighbridge would be prudent.
Finally got my new plate sorted today.
As close to Trophy as you can get without spending £3,000 on T20 PHY.
Makes things look a bit more tidy I think :D
