noise

I remember a group of forum members went off to Prospeed in Cardiff and purchased new exhausts for their Trophy's. Are the exhausts any good? Was the service good? Would you recommend going to Prospeed?

as we all know the trophy speakers aint great...i was thinking about some after-market ones for the rear...are they 10cm or do i need some of the custom ones..? anyone changed theirs? what did you buy?

I took some time off work, was supposed to be doing some sensible stuff round the place. Kind of got side tracked, but said side track may of more interest to this forum. Following from previous threads about camber adjustment amongst other things. Day 1 Permagard treatment...

As I had today off work I decided to modify the air-intake system on my Trophy by removing the air-valve located near the horn to see what would happen as most after-market CAI on the market (ITG Maxogen & Viper etc) recommend removing the valve on installation. To my surprise the cars feels...

I've been using a cone induction kit on my Trophy and the heat soak is getting noticeable with the hot weather. I had the bonnet up the other morning and the cone was red hot. I was planning on putting the old airbox back on together with a new panel filter. Should I do this, will it make a...

Who is going to the Festival of Speed this year? I'm only going on the Friday (7th July) unfortunately, as it's my girlfriends birthday on the Saturday and I'm driving down to France. It would be good if a few of us from the south (or anywhere) could meet up on the way, have a bit of a...

i brought my trophy last week i p/x my 172 cup when i go above 2000rpm the trophy whistles is this normall as it didnt do it in my cup

Currently fitted to my trophy, only done about 3000 miles on it, looks great and gives a nice tone under acceleration. Paid just over £400 fitted at Janspeed themselves. Looking for £275. Ollie has first refusal as he messaged me about it a week ago, but if he doesn't want it its up...

Whats everyone using ? ( assuming youve worn out the originals) Is the best option to stick to the pilots or is there anything else worth a look ? ive done the usual searches mytryes , blackcircles for prices just wanted to see if anyone is using anything different !

Finally a weekend to give her the once over, finished nicely with P21S Wax..... Feels like glass!

(Decat + std exhaust) Has anyone done this? Thoughts? as this may be my next mod on the cheap...cant afford the sports cat (lol) Ive read it frees up the exhaust flow, increases noise etc etc Does anyone know what the fine would be if stopped at the road..(not very likely tho?)

CAN THIS BE ACCURATE I HAVE A 182 FULL FAT AND HAVE A 0-60 TIMER AND PULLED OFF A 6.47SEC 0-60 AND WHAT DO PEOPLE THINK OF MY FOG LAMP CONVERSION

After an excellent few days out in Germany, i thought i'd post the pics taken over the weekend. http://crowspeed.net/photos/ringtrip06/album/

Went for a run with a few subaru's at the weekend . [/img] There were a few suprised people with the trophy's performance :shock: The guy that took these pics thought i'd had a turbo conversion :lol: and another

Recaro stickers for the subframes, i think they look well sweet!! cant afford anything else, holiday in 5 weeks!! :D

Known locally amongst trade friends as 'Le 182 Bunker', I now have a unit to store cars available, cleaned and ready to go. As you may be aware, I don't just sell Clio Trophies, but really enjoy driving Trophy and Cup models - hence the bias towards them. e.g "Don't buy a Cooper S Works until...

Over the past week or so my exhaust has developed a creak when cold. I've taken my car to my local independent Renault garage, I don't have a convenient main dealer. He identified the noise as loose baffles in the centre silencer section of the exhaust. As some of you will know I've had a decat...

i have just took my trophy in to the dealers for the first time for a rattle behind the dials , a rattle on the front passenger seat , a knocking noise under the car and a problem with the rear brakes . when i picked it up the dealer had replaced the seat rallies a clamp on the exorcist they...

Just wandering if anyone knows what a 55 plate Trophy is worth with 3500miles on the clock. The car is mint and has only been driven by the wife. I would appreciate any ideas on how much its worth trade and private

Well as the weather has got a little bit warmer, I have noticed that I am no longer getting the knocking noise when going from lock to lock. Has anyone else who had the knocking noise over the winter noticed this, or are your knocks still there? I have been told by an RTE that it is nothing...

I've just pinned down the latest rattle from the car, it's down to the Recaro seat. At the front of the seat just where the back of your knees go there is an extendable section, an it is this section that is causing a loud rattle. It's fine with a passenger because they put pressure on the seat...

Aloha everyone... Was looking at the Oribsoud exhaust recently and it got me thinking... what benefit would it offer, say, a Janspeed or Ktec unit? It is afterall almost £300 more expensive... Thoughts? I am going down the road of marketing strategy but havn't heard/seen one in...

regards :D

Nice day for a clean, thought I'd take the rear out, see what difference in noise it made. Turns out not a great deal

newbie post i'm afraid!! I have recently purchased an '04 172Cup covered 12k. After 2weeks blissful ownership last night I noted a recurrent thud/knock has appeared at low speeds from engine bay/ nsf wheel arch. Any clues?? Not necessarily linked but also found on reaching full lock there...

Hi guys, Maybe a bit of a silly question, but when I have my wipers on the first speed, everytime they wipe there's a click from the front passenger dash. Driving me mad :x Is this normal or is the intermitant wiper switch faulty?

wats the fastest someones had out there trophy, n as any1 beat a cooper s because me dads got 1 and it feels alot quicker than my trophy iv not raced him yet tho, s,pose i should really. please help

...OK well not quite, but... I removed the rear seats, metal bar and boot mat and wow - what a difference it made! I can finally hear the car's exhaust system - it was almost like putting on an aftermarket unit - and it cost me nothing! I also weighed all the parts - a total of 13-14...

A quick question I wonder if anyone could help me with. I have a small problem with 104 :( Symptoms: - Under hard acceleration in 1st and 2nd I get a noise from under the car, seems to be below and between footwells, once past maybe 4,500 rpm. - But doesn't happen if I accelerate slowly...

Just interested as its a "special" anyhow... I doubt you want to change the suspension....(shocks)? Exhausts Induction Engine Ride height.... (consider Eibach springs etc) Brakes Andy GDI
