noise

Actually happened last weekend, but only just got around to downloading the pics. Bloke I know has just bought this: 996 GT3. 380Bhp 0-60 4.8 Ride is as solid as the Trophy. Doesn't feel as fast as it is which I suppose is a sign of how good it is. Sit really close to the...

When I lock my car I have started to hear a funny noise from the boot lock. There is a U shaped piece of metal that the lock latches onto, should this be fixed down? As I can wobble it back and forth very easily. Cheers

I've decided to finally upgrade my front brakes. Having looked on Yozzasport, i discovered that the Original RenaultSport Front Discs are more expensive than the after market Brembo Plain Cut front brake discs by £40. Does anyone know why that is, i'd find it hard to believe that the original...

Had the trophy for about 3 mionths now and there has always been i very little knock noise when driving but it just sounded like a noise a car makes, anyway over the last week this noise got really bad so took it to the stealers to get it checked under warranty. Turns out both ball joints have...

Hi all. Wonder if anyone has any idea what may be up with my car. Whenever i ease of the accelerator there is a knocking sound from front of car. Not a very harsh sound and some times sounds like a ufo type noise ! Its not apparent when accelerating so i am assuming its only when engine...

My passenger seat has been doing a bit of rattling which can be quite irritating. I've had a look underneath to try and diagnose the problem and it seems that on one side where the rails join it is a bit lose i.e. there is a small bit of play between the rail attached to the seat and the rail...

Ive just ordered the following mods Brembo max grooved disks. Mintex 1155 front and rear pads. goodridge stainless steel braided break lines. Some dot 4.1 break fluid when i get round to it. Wont be tellin them about the second one. Has anyone with similar mods informed their...

I just need advice, im in 2 minds at the min i dont know which catback to get Yozza or Milltek? which one of these has a very nice loud sound and noticeable gain? and im after an induction kit either the ITG Maxogen or the Simota which one would you recommend? Cheers Chris

My Situation - I have a FF182 at the moment. Owe about 5k on the loan I took for it, I was originally planning on upgrading to a Tomato now that I can afford the extra finance. However, the dilemma is that work have just informed me that I am likely to be in a role worthy of a company car...

Guys.... I recently had the discs and pads changed on No 142. Have replaced front and back discs with genuine Renault discs (got these at a good price!) and decided on some 'uprated' pads. Went for some from K Tec - Ultimax brake pads. The brakes now work so much better (as you'd...

Not a lot is the answer!! I've finally removed the valve following the guide posted on this site. I also replaced the hoses with flexible alloy items, 50mm dia. for the lower intake (1st pic) and 60mm dia. for the side intake (2nd pic) using the orignial plastic fittings. Performance...

Got my exhaust fitted today at "Exhaust a fix" in Darlington. He had a problem fitting it to the Cat as the Yozza exhaust was straight (at the bit that joins the Cat) and the Cat is at an angle.. Therefore the exhaust, at that bit, is lower than it was!!! Also the tail pipes do not stick...

Hi Guys Right i get payed in a few days and after having the catback miltek installed last month want more NOISE !!!! but am unsure if i should decat or not. Ive had decats before so know the score but does it make A. A big sound increase B. A performance diffrence C. Does it make...

Hey Guys, I know it's a long shot trying to diagnose a problem with my 182 over the net without seeing or hearing a car, but some of you guys are very clued up & thought you may be able to help me. I have a funny feeling I have a engine or possible gearbox mount gone or on the way out...

I know this has been visited many times but I'm looking for some new brake discs and pads. Not fussed about track use, just want a good road set. They've got to be good from cold, not mark my alloys, no noise and I don't want to change the brake hose etc. I'm keeping it simple. Any ideas, plus...

Now I have my Trophy, which I chose because it would be a fast car on track without modification, I realise, that modifying cars is just too much fun to go without, so I will be modifying the Trophy :) Just for a bit of fun, and maybe to make the fun last, and perhaps to help others...

Took 196 in to have the water leak fixed under warranty last week. Three days later got the car back - leak fixed ok. However she's come back with more wrong than when she went in!! They've scratched the the plastic strip inside the passenger door sill - which they are denying!! There's now...

recently bought a 182, and thought about getting a new induction kit for it, just need some advice on what is the best one as im new to the whole car moding scene. thanks

Have noticed a slight creaking noise coming from the front of the car when initially moving off (either forwards or in reverse) with part lock of the steering applied. Its a very minor creak but have got #237 booked in to be inspected anyway. Anyone else had this? Any suggestions...

Got to be honest, been lurking quite a lot on here and you all seem a good bunch of lads. Anyway, here's some info on my car, I'll list the current spec in the first post and then I'll follow up how I've changed her since buying her last August. She's for sale by the way, and I may be...

Evening all! :) Well it's been a whle since my last post..but it feels good to be back trawling the boards! Number 351 is now sporting a lovely set of Yoko Parada's (perfectly in time for winter! :roll: ) and although they've only been on for 500 miles, initial impressions are good...

Had a bit of spare time on my hands yesterday so took the Clio out for a blat last night. After a while turned the ESP off. Wow! Transforms the car! Acceleration has more bite as does the handling. The car is brilliant without the Esp on. Just shows how well sorted the chassis set up...

Hi y'all, Well some of you might have been following my progression with the Orbi removal, for those of you who are not sure why I made this ludicrous move its mainly due to: 1) The system is the race one and therefore very "in your face" 2) Missus bugging the hell outta me to remove it...

Broke the Top Gear TV Lap Record by over four and a half seconds in their standard production Ultima GTR720 road car!! thats some rapid machine, 0-60mph - 2.6secs :twisted: full story and pics: http://www.ultimasports.co.uk/topgearlaprecord.html

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hsXZO_jl_JY This link should take you to a video showing the difference between the original car and a few mods. The mods are Orbisoud soft exhaust, viper induction kit, manifold match and remap. A quick summary The performance difference is barely...

im thinking of spending some money on the trophy and was wondering if a de cat and induction kit would be beneficial, ive already got a janspeed exhaust system and wanted a little more response and sound. has anyone got these mods and are you happy with them? many thanks :D

Hi all, Considering a new exhaust system for the Trophy. I want a manifold back with sports cat system - but main concern being how loud it is. I wan't it to be as quite as possible. Can anyone recommend systems they have/heard and point me in the right direction. Thanks Hon

OK, have been lurking for a while and am ready to buy a car, I have 8k to spend ready in the bank so really I expect I am looking at a 182 with Cup Pack(s) but I thought I would try on here to see what a Trophy goes for nowdays. I am not after a flaming for insulting the value of the Trophy...
