The time has come for me to part company with my Trophy, No 084. It has been great fun owning it and it's certainly an absorbing car to drive. However a shiny black 350z has seduced me into the world of rwd. :D Here are the details: 2005/05 29500 miles Full service history Just had Full...

With the imminent arrival of my new car the time has come to sell my beloved Trophy. :( Will "officially" go on sale next weekend, but I'm putting it up here first. Decent pics will follow then, for now these are from the day before the Gaydon meet a fortnight ago, since when I've used it...

Thy hallowed day will be Thursday 19th November. He will be removing and refitting too. Apparently the quickest turn around he can do is the following afternoon, as he has to spray loctite over it and let it sit overnight. I'm having new adjusters too, as when the pin is removed, the shaft the...

Hi all, I am completely new to Renaults full stop, I have only ever had fords/vauxhalls in the past so i'm out of my depth but as you will see I couldn't pass this up!. Not sure where to start really, I was offered a clio as an ex company car (who I work for) and was told it had high mileage...

Just got the Trophy back with my newly refurbished Sachs front dampers which had failed at 22.5k, wow what a difference :D After spending a while looking for someone i could trust to remove and store the car while the dampers were away a friend recommended this place... JPS (Jude Performance...

My Sachs have now been rebuilt at a cost of £583.20 (inc VAT) by BG Motorsport. A brilliant service, very quick turnaround and smiles all round. However, I am a little frustrated with Renault. Clearly, when deciding how to see off the 182 they saw 1000 or so Sachs suspension units and...

..on top of the remote part of the damper?? You can see em on mine but not on a mates. Is it owt to do with being un pinned?? Sorry if its a dumb Q but new to Trophy stuff

Well after much deliberation I have decided not to sell my car and can't see me ever doing so........... http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2 ... =806060124 Hope the links to these pics show you how much I've been having with him. LOL :)

Stripped my front shocks today as they going for refurb next week and noticed the bearing on both mounts is shot (full of grit with a lot of play). Has anyone changed these before and perhaps the large rubber mount as I'm curious to how much it may cost to replace. Going to be interesting...

Well seeing as the weather was to nice just to sit in me and a mate decided to test out my recently recon'd dampers thanks to BG Motorsport, by doing the ButterTubs pass and then heading to Ribble Head Viaduct, Thwaite, Haws then Ingelton and back home. It was a fantasic drive out and the Trophy...

Hi fellas After lots of thought I have decided to sell my Trophy :( to further my motorsport addiction !! It has and still is a fantastic car and will be sad to see it go. http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/1234743.htm Heres a few more pics Serious enquiries only thanks.

Hiya all, am looking for a set of these as my next compromise road tyre. I am having a hard time finding them in Trophy size, any tips? Camskills do them but are out of stock ATM. Cheers,

Curiosity got the better of me so I decided to strip down my spare damper to see the inner workings and also see if I could find out why it had gone ‘soft’. I really had no idea what to expect as ive never seen the insides of a Remote Reservoir Damper before but I did have a picture in my head...

Ok seeing as the car will just be track orientated once finished i've decided to sell the stock dampers. 2 Fully refurb'd and unpinned Trophy Dampers, when refurb'd they were cleaned up and primed with acid etch, re-sprayed in silver and also laquered. The top hole has also been modified to...

Dear All, After getting back from South Wales today, I would like to ask: what is the best technique for carrying speed into and out of a corner in a Trophy? I know all corners are different: different gears required, different braking points, different throttle pressure etc, but is there a...

Does anyone know whether brakes from a 197/megane/200 would be a direct fit to the 182 hub? The discs are probably too big for 16''s though?

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/motorsport/formula_one/8172310.stm I think he should

ive just been on the k tech website and they now have a low presure turbo kit for all 182s, and they will take it to rs tuning in leeds for a custom remap (3 hours worth)it all cost around the 3k mark, on their graph is says its putting out 212 bhp and about 200 ib ft so that would put its power...

http://www.danielcurnock.co.uk/home/ if your're around 35 then you will LOVE the cars this guy has for sale!!! Holy moley how much did i want that G60 for my 21st birthday....Yeah as if!!

I have a week of work soon, so I was thinking of getting the front dampers refurbished. However, having seen a new suspension setup on another car (more in a minute), I want to do some suspension mods at the same time. Ok, in my opinion, The car is far too soft, more so at the rear. This is...

Morning all ! ok so i got my Trophy Pretty much fresh out the box. taken the Acoustic Value off, getting some fat piping today. and i also getting the brakes done (discs lines fluid etc etc.) ok so, i know that when it comes to Mods if you don't have a set plan, and you just fiddle, thats when...

Hi all I have only had the Trophy a few weeks (1500 miles) but the PE2's on the front are in need of a change. I have tryed quite a few tyres in the past on my Ph1 172 but have never tryed R888's... so I thought I'd get a set and see how they do on a day to day basis through the summer. I have...

Hi has anyone fitted this to trophy? if so feed back/thoughts or similar products?? http://www.k-tecracing.com/show_product.asp?id=2554

I'm somewhat concerned by the cost of maintenance for the Trophy, but the question is how often does it need work doing? Do you folks find them to be reliable enough to not worry for a while or is there often an niggling worry that something could go wrong at any minute? Given that I won't have...

I'm looking for interest on a potential second batch of these exhausts. It's the best fitted exhaust available for the 182 and sounds ace. Weighs around 6kg less than standard system. There are a few vids on you tube if you have a search. http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...33374763237041...

Thought I might put a few photos up of the first track day of the year, got a few things to do before the next one in June, anyway hope you like.
