Hello all! After a flirtation with a 182 some time ago I have decided it is time to investigate the best of the breed and have just become the new owner of Trophy #051.
Seemingly the first item I will need to attend to is a refurb of the distinctly tired Sachs dampers and have already spoken...
Hi guys.
im thinking off the idea of getting front and rear strut braces for the trophy.
but do they actually need them.
does anybody think they improve the handling??
I'd like some input from people who have fitted them.
thanks for looking
Knowing your appreciation for rare RS cars I thought I would draw your attention to a worthy replacement to the little Tomato.
I know because it replaced my Trophy almost 4 years ago.

The silver plate on my gear knob is badly worn. Are any of the plates on ebay any good?
Or Renault want £68 for a replacement knob. (which they claim is now leather)....anyone had one?
RY05 I think. I followed you briefly down the A31 and my friend followed you in his Blue Megane 225 Cup before that. Looked smart, possibly a Milltek exhaust?

Hi guys,I know you guys will be biased but why should I pay the extra for a Trophy over a 182FF?I know it's got the sachs but is the cornering ability that much better?Let me know your thoughts and why you went for a Trophy.Cheers.
Hi everyone. I recently purchased #151 from a very friendly Robert Evans from this forum. It need a few service issues addressed but I'm happy and it drives extremely well. I have been using the search function but I still have a few questions.
1) Brakes pads are 85% worn acording to the MOT...

Hi everyone.
Me and the other half sat in both of these at the Berkshire show yesterday and really liked them, especially the BRZ. We'd like to test drive them both but they're £27,000.
Basically either a house deposit or the car!
We've been wondering if it's morally right to test drive them...

Renaultsport Clio 182 TROPHY No.49/500
I have come to the decision that after two and a half years it is time to sell my pride and joy and move up a step to a megane RS 250.
I have owned the car for two and half years now and it has been...
After 5 years of happy partnership it is time to find 330 a new home. The T has done only 20k with me and 47k in all, much loved and usefully modified to improve power and stopping, and of course the sachs have been refurbished and all belts have been done.
The car has been amazing on track -...
Hi All
Does anyone know the correct part number for the Trophy's speedline wheels and the steering wheel without the airbag as I would like to check them before ordering.
Many thanks

After owning my trophy for over half a year i am very strongly leaning towards an r26 megane. the trophy is deffo the best car iv ever had and the r26 will have a hard act to follow. A swap would be ideal but i am looking for around 5.5k for mine. really well looked after, as pretty much all...
I met Harry Metcalf at an evo track evening last year and he asked me why I had not thought about a newer car, implying that the new models are better.
Any way with this thought in mind I went and test drove a Clio 200 on a cup chassis the other day.
My thoughts, new car is bigger, much more...

does anyone run winter wheels on their trophy?
thinking about doing it this year to protect the trophy wheels but mostly to ensure i've got tyres more suited to the wet and cold conditions found over winter.
