    Trophy for sale ? NO, this one's sold !

    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...

    Trophy with climate control?

    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. 7MAT

    arse

    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...

    Tyre Pressures for the Trophy...

    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.

    Thinking of getting a Trophy...

    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...

    Nealy 2000 miles

    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...

    Running in advice (again)

    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...

    New Trophy Delivery Checklist

    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...

    Oil again...

    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...

    Teething problems ?

    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...

    Seats

    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.

    Oil level reading...

    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...

    Does anybody know......?

    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...

    Camber

    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?

    Should Renault have.......

    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...

    Resevoir Dampers

    Has anyone ever actually induced damper fade in a Clio before their tyres have worn and their brake fluid has boiled?

    Trophy Technical documentation

    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.

    New plate

    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
