    What Can You See Yourself Replacing Your Trophy With?

    Well... which car? :) I find myself looking longingly at the Liquid Yellow (without scum stickers) Megane R26 that blasts the opposite direction to myself every afternoon on the way home from work. I just think it's a gorgeous car, and I think I may have to own one. Being less realistic...

    Immaculate VW Golf Rallye

    Just putting this up for a mate.. if you are interested contact him direct through his site, or PM me and i'll pass on his details. A lot of work has been put into the car - as the text says it was rebuilt from a rolling shell. He's after £5500 - no offers.

    Looking into possibly setting up an exhaust group buy and i've already spoken with a retailer who will try and help us out with regards to discounts.

    Sachs Strut Rebuilds

    Firstly I'd like to point out I've had permission from the moderators for this post as it could be viewed as an 'advert' Some background: at some stage, and 'when' will depend on many factors, the dampers will need replacing/rebuilding. The replace cost is prohibative and there's...

    Rear strut brace for the Trophy

    Has anyone on here fitted a rear strut brace? If so whats the thoughts on it - e.g is it worth it and has it made any difference to the handling? Just thinking that it may or may not be a worthwhile option on a Trophy. Probably something Renault would have fitted originally though if it did...

    155mph

    What's the most anyone's had out of their Trophy? A friend recently borrowed mine and said he took it up to 155mph with his dad in the passenger seat and felt like it still wanted to go even faster! I know the speedometer reads 160mph but I found this hard to believe as the spec notes top speed...

    Throttle bodies

    Beginning to get used to the power/speed of my trophy now and not far off paying it off in full, fancy an upgrade, i love the handling but would like at bit more power at the top end. Having looked at k-tech site and Yozzasport quite like the look of a throttle body/ turbo conversion, pref...

    warranty

    I'm looking to get my service done and geometry setup sorted by Mark Fish Motorsport and i've bought some of the much hyped Silkolene Pro S for the oil change, but i'm worried this will invalidate the warranty as it's not a Renault recognised part? Apparently, they need to see receipts for all...
