mpg

right, my beef is basically, why are these cars just not worth that much money anymore? for a car as amazing as this to drop from £15,00 in 5 years is pretty shocking, i think asking for £4000, £5000, or even £6000 when selling yours is rediculous. these cars are classic and a piece of history...

Double points if you spot 304 between Friday morning and Monay pm between Psmouth and Oxford - I'm over, just for a long weekend :-)

Had a great weekend in Manchester for a football league play off final and my ex-boss decided late last week to play 7-a-side match and got hit in the eye. He was not up for driving to Manchester from the SW and I was not insured to drive his Mondeo. I decided to take the Trophy on the 600 mile...

Just took my T out for a drive and it seems to be lacking power. Still accelerating ok but just doesnt feel as if all the powers there. Anyone else experience this ?

As per title? I honestly can't see myself selling the little bugger. Took it for a blast on some newly discovered B roads recently and was still absolutley gobsmacked at how bloody good it is. :D I bought a Boxster S six months ago and even though it's a brilliant car, unless you're a...

Missus is chopping her Fiat 500 in tomorrow. Been loads of fun (since UK release day) but she wants something with a bit more oomph. Nurburgring Blue AP1 S2000 GT, 8 years old with 44k on the clock. Prices on this sort of car seem to be plummetting at the moment due to high tax and insurance and...

Just noticed fastchip offer a Decat overrun calibration for 29euros. Just wondering if anyone has any info on it, will it have any performance increases over the standard 98ron cal upgrade they offer for 10euros? Or is it just a bit pointless?

I always get my EML and it showed with a mifire so i have done the following. New Oil filter & oil New Air filter New Pollen filter New Coil pack New HT leads And i have just done my spark plugs which where bad. Now im getting the EML on with this code saying i need a bank 1 lambda probe...

Ok today I bought 10£ of petrol, then on the way home all my warning lights flashed on this resulted on my petrol light staying on and no petrol being read by my trip computer !! This has happened a few times now, sometimes my engine actually cuts out when the warning lights come on ?? This is...

I just read on a recent topic that shell v power is good for reducing the carbon on piston heads. I've always used this up until recently as shell garages are becoming harder to find where I live, my nearest is about 20 miles away ! I've often wondered how much difference it makes using high...

can anyone recommend a good poilsh to use after clay & stripping but before final wax coat? cheers

Hi all, My trophy has only been averaging between 26-28mpg recently where usually its easily 33-35mpg. Around a month ago I put a decat on it, do these affect mpg that much? Or could it be the lambda sensor? may have got damaged when putting in the decat?

For sale is my much loved 2003 VW Lupo Gti in Tornado Red. Selling due to recently buying a Trophy. The Lupo is currently on 87,450 miles but will go up as it is used to commute daily (nearly all motorway miles currently averaging 44MPG). It has only had 2 previous owners before me and...

http://www.angel-works.co.uk/product_2ltrinlet.php Not particularly just the Angel-works ones(although they do seem better value than say K-Tec) but the matched inlet manifold in general? anyone on here have one fitted?

Just wondering how the Trophy stacks up against later Clio's? Similar pace, but what's the true quality difference and any handaling differences.

Hi guys, my Trophy currently has uprated Brembo brakes/pads and full stainless steel exhaust system. I have a few hundred pound to spend on the car and as it is due it's MOT in October I was considering getting remap done at the same time. I have spoken to a guy called Paul whom I believe...

Hey Guys, Have any of you seen the images of the New Clio Williams 220bhp in the Auto Express? Looks pretty nice I think, a lot sharper looking! Apparantly it's going to have the same F4R engine but increased to 220bhp, and apparantly goes back to a more lightweight body. If this does...

Hello boys and girls, I'm back again on the lookout for a Trophy, let me know if you know of any gooduns! :) Who's still around from the original days?

My Trophy - #433 **Warning essay content** Having now owned the Trophy for 6 weeks & 3k miles, i thought i had better put a little thread up about it ... Basically, since October last year, id been rolling around in a Golf Gti Edition 30, which really wasnt to my taste & did shoddy mpg...

i've got my 182 cup booked into K-tec next week for a janspeed/K-tec sports exhaust - i'm also really tempted by their "stage 1 tuning package" on offer for under £250 from £380 - has anyone else had it done? :? seems a shame to undertake a 5 hour round trip & not make the best of it

Hello! I thought I'd intro myself! My name is Anthony, I'm 27 and live in Stafford in the Midlands. Been a member of loads of forums, saxo sports club, golf gti forum, m3 cutters etc... But now I'm considering a Trophy so thought Id pop in and see what the crack is from the people in the know...

Well have to say I'm truely blown away by how good it is compared to my old 197. The steering is sharper, the handling is fantastic, gear box is the best renault gearbox I've experienced so far and the performance is superb. Don't have a bad word to say about it tbh and its deffinately in line...
