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 :)
I have just purchased a new set of rear seats for my Trophy and now im looking to sell my original ones.
If anybody needs to replace theres or knows anyone who would want them please send me a PM.
Any ideas as to what i would get for them should i sell them?
Many Thanks
Marc
The clio came back to me Wed night and I am very impressed with my custom exhaust by Advanced Automotive Solutions Newcastle.
It is a full system and is considerably lighter than original system.
I can feel the power a bit earlier on, along with a sweet sound that builds up great above...
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...
just had a fright lastnight.
After clicking the remote locking i always try a door just to make sure its worked (and everytime i walk past for that matter!)
well anyway i'd locked up and tried the boot lock for a change..............
Bugga me it was open!!
the alarm let out a squell...
Is it just me or does anyone else get treated like a total tw*t whilst driving their trophy?
On numerous occasions i have been driving the trophy well within the speed limit and have been abused by pedestrians, to whom it must appear i'm travelling much faster than i actually am.
It happened...
Loud squeek coming from front of car. Seems to me it's coming from near side suspension. (pushing down rapidally on bonnet suggests this too!)More it's driven in one stint the worse it gets. Anybody had such problems? :roll:
My trophy needs new pads and discs all round, I'm thinking of upgrading to some that feel more solid and that don't squirm under heavy braking as with the standard ones.......
I don't really know much about these things, anyone got any recommendations? Also, how does upgrading affect the...
Hi all - been looking to invest in a trophy for some time, but due to my age (22) havent really been able to afford the insurance, tax, servicing, etc.
However the time has come to go all out and get me one of these cracking little cars.
About to pick up number 31 tomorrow which is as...
Hello, just wondering, as I have no experience of the clio sport range on how easy it is to tune the trophy or a basic 182 to 200hp? I am a believer in keeping rare, unique cars as standard as possible so subtle mods would be preffered! What have other members done?
Cheers this is my...
I have had rapid Clio's since passing my test, :D but since getting married and having 2 children i had to try and purchase cars which fitted the "Family Man" criteria. :evil:
But since Renault released the Megane 225 i saw this as my chance to get back in the groove. :D I currently own a Ph2...
I've never suffered from the infamous 182 top mount knock, but a couple of days ago my Trophy started making a knocking noise when maneuvering at slow speeds. I assumed this was the knock, and thought nothing of it, but it has been getting progressively worse since then.
The knock was then...
My Trophy has developed a subtle engine fault over the last couple of months. There is a distinct missfire at 2500 RPM (in neutral) and has become a little sluggish under acceleration, especially from lower revs. It sounds rough too. I have also noticed a rumble, in tick-over, from the cambelt...
I currently run a Saab 9-3 and normally lurk on Scoobynet, have had a few sportier cars such as a Volvo T5, Fiat Coupe Turbo, Golf GTI's, Rover BRM etc.
My Saab is nearing 100,000 and hasn't got aircon so I fancy a change, I have been eyeing up the 172 and 182 for years now, especially when...
It was found out that some genius at Renault decided to make 182 exhausts all one-piece rather than 3 which it should be. Seeing as the exhaust goes over the rear beam this meant that the cat and centre section were taken down, but the whole exhaust being connected did not come out because we...
Hi Guys
I'm going down to France later this year, so I thought I'd ask Orbisoud how much one of their exhausts costs to collect from the factory gates. This is their reply;
hello,
price line complete racing : 1006 euros ht.
soft : 1087 euros ht.
best...
Hi All,
Just sold my VX220 for an impending house purchase, but now need a new car as well, and it has to be a Trophy. 15 years ago when I started driving I dreamt of that R5 turbo, but alas I could never afford it. Anyway I can now and the Trophy is todays version of that as far as I'm...
When pressing the clutch pedal down it feels like its scraping against something. It also makes a creaking noise. Has this happened to anyone else? Its been noticeable for a few weeks but has got worse over the past couple of days. Any ideas, ta.
After much debate over what car to get I finally decided on the golf. Picked it up last Wednesday and loving it so far. The power is awesome and the noise is special.
Trophy was a close second but the golf managed to win :)
Little sunlight to show any cleaning done but for those...
arrghhh so annoyed it's listed on ebay - never though that when I sold it last month it would end up there. :evil:
Also they could have took out my number plate
Ebay item number 270095389194
:(
I have fallen in love with all vechiles BMW m3 so in 6 months time and a lot of saving i am going to get one . I have never driven one so any comments on handling performance mpg .
Found this on a french site , but for the life of me i can,t find any write ups or reports on this, think its about 250 quid, green cotton ram airs are used on most wrc cars, quality is superb on them, yet i'm stumped if i can find a report, anybody else can help me out in finding one

Rather than swapping 093 for a V70 i'm thinking of taking out the back seats to accomodate my mountian bike, does anyone have any pics with their's removed?
I've read a couple of posts and some speed freaks have taken them out I thick, cue Cue, and this will be a good side effect but need my...
