Visited a friends house Monday to have this fitted, would have thought it makes the car loud inside and rattley but no, fits perfectly and no noise whatsoever, happy days :)
Chuffed wth the car so far :) cant wait to sort the engine mods out :)

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...
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.
So I took my trophy down to Mark fish motorsport today for its 24K service and a geometry check. he phoned me up an hour ago and reported a 3/4 of a degree difference in camber angles between each side, so im glad I asked him to check this.
This is the more worrying problem with my car...
Right well i havnt even bought a clio trophy but judging from the reviews on the morego 202, i plan to do this mod to my Trophy.
Opinions please as i know it is a limited edition model.
Would it affect resale in a bad way?
Also does it need mroe power?
Thanks
Greg
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. Basically the idea is in its infancy and first we would have to establish how many people are definitely interested and what products they would...
Gave them both a clean and the CF bonnet has been removed from the Liquid now... as well as removing the Apex springs and fitting some Sportlines :D
and a hint of what a white 182 might look like :wink:
Coming up for my 24K service and just wanted to know where people near me went. I live near stansted.
All I seem to hear is ren-tech, ren-tech, but there is no way im going to portsmoth to service my car! well maybe lol
Cheers
OK guys - 1 week in and time to change the exhaust..... Money no object what is the best system I can buy. I am after a nice rich sound, not too loud to get thrown out of any potential track days, and not too quiet that it wasn't worth bothering....
Not really wanting to ditch the cat in case I...
Has anyone got one of these on there Trophy?
Are they any good? I know the orbsund is the bees knees of exhausts but is it worth it?
Anything come close to the obsund sound for cheaper?
Apart from the itg filter panel is there anything else to modify or is it good in pure form(don't...

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...
Solicitors bill arrived, got to find the money to pay it somehow, so unfortunately 259 has to go to pastures new.... :(

I have been thinking about chucking the trophy in for something more fun, getting a bit bored. Im mainly looking at the bargain monaro vxr's that have just come on the market maybe even a 500 version but im a bit worried i may wish i hadnt bothered. Want something with a bit more grunt and a...
I know this has been asked before and i remember seeing it somewhere... but i think there is a place in the southeast that people go for the setups (minutes/camber etc)
Anyone have to name and or contact info?
Thanks
David.
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...
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...
just decided to phone up and order the Spax lowering springs for the trophy (20mm) but they have been discontinued due to a lack of sales??? lol
Not being funny but i said to the guy that there are only a percentage of the 551 or so trophys in the world that are gonna want to lower them...
I've just booked the Trophy in for it's annual Permagard treatment at Canary Wharf (0207 473 0099) for the Saturday after next, I was told to bring it up any time in the morning and it will be 50% of the original price, which was £130, so £65 for another year's protection.
I'm then...
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...
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...
Pic I took at Brands back in August. The guys at the garage didn't really know what was going on. Tis me, OliS, Stuart and Nigel if I remember correctly. Plus Benny223 was round the corner somewhere me thinks after the morning fluid issues.
So I was chatting with Bernard Olivier the CEO of Renault Sport at the weekend (as one does :lol: ) and he brought up the subject of the Trophy dampers.
Apart from talking about how good they are he mentioned that the one negative is the need for them to be replaced / rebuilt more often...
As some of you will know, I am in the market for a Trophy. However, I first have to sell my TT which is happening, albeit slowly!
Anyway, here are a few questions to get me started:
1. Will the Trophy run adequately on regular fuel i.e. 95 RON?
2. Would you recommend using 97+ RON? If...
To all the guys who've had their alignment done...
Did you need camber bolts on the front wheels?
I am about to have mine dialled in with about 2.2 degrees of front camber but I am not too sure how much camber the front can adjusted utilising the stock suspension geometry. I understand...
