noise

hi, picked one up second hand from here and started to fit it the other night but realised the trumpet part wont go past the bulkhead/battery without my having to first remove the battery. did anyone else have this problem? also iv yet to remove the acoustic valve, is this pretty straight...

The standard air box seems to have two inlets for air. One with a cold air feed pipe that disappears somewhere underneath the nearside headlamp and another inlet without any cold air feed. Is this right ? Still having trouble with my T :(

It may just be me being worried or the road angle or something, but i seem to feel my front n/s bounces more than the o/s on flat full road width speed bumps where i can feel both rebound at the same time more or less, and there is a little knocking noise every now and then, i know the knocking...

Hi guys Just wondered if anyone had experienced this before. If you imagine a multi-storey car park, and the 'spirals' you have to drive up in order to go up levels; I have noticed that I experience quite a loud and profound grinding noise when driving up these. The steering wheel also tends to...

Many of you may have noticed I have been posting alot of "lack of power" and problems with my trophy topics. Recently I have been having trouble with performance from my T. Last night I noticed a fairly loud noise coming from the engine bay when the ignition was on. I poped the bonnet and...

I recent brought a 1.2 dynamique 51plate for my first car, Basically im aiming for it to look like a Clio Sport Replica , Colour Coding, Rs spoiller, Rs Grill, 182 Alloys Etc... Not so long ago i purchased a Peco Full System stainless steel exhaust (Cat-back) And what a mistake i made The...

I know every track setup is different, but I thought it would be interesting to hear what readings people have got from noise tests at the track. My silenced Orbisoud with it's sports cat was 92db @ Bedford with 4/4.5k revs I think.

when i pull away i get a knock from the front, when i change low gear i get the knock aswell like something is moving backwards as i pull away. after driving about 60 for a few mins the service trac light comes on. i know my suspension needs rebuilt but this wouldnt be the cause of it i dont...

Just had the front dampers back from BG motorsports, and replaced the rear dampers and top mounts at the same time. Imagine my surprise to hear creaking still coming from the front suspension somewhere [-X I've done some digging around on here and people suggest replacing the ball joints at...

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...

as above, its tempting.

Hellooo i've got a bit of a problem with my clio, it doesn't start - all the electrics are working but the engine doesn't even tick over... Any ideas why? :cry:

My trophy has done 76000 miles and has a full history. It has a tappety/rattly top end which is more noticeable now the weathers warm and i have the windows down, the noise is more noticeable on the over run when driving along narrow streets because the sound bounces off the walls. The de-phaser...

Firstly, thanks to James & Tom at JMS, despite having to be on the Eurotunnel at 6am this morning, James was bleeding my brakes at midnight last night - mostly thanks to another of our friends bringing in a last minute brake related emergency/c0ck up i might add ... IR tired. So, the work done...

My Trophy's exhaust back boxes are finally on their last legs and so the selection of an aftermarket cat back system begins... So the initial search led me to the KTR Ultra performance system, which has a 2.5 inch bore from cat back. A bit more research led me to the understanding that the...

Did an oil change last night using my old Pela pump that draws the oil out through the dip stick hole. Bish, bash, bosh, all done in 20 minutes without touching a jack, axle stand or getting oil anywhere. Filled the car with 5l of Halfords 5/40 fully synth and since I needed new screw drivers...

Hi All, When locking the car with the remote locking i just get a constant tone, it's the same noise you get when you lock the car but a door isn't closed properly or just wide open. I'm guessing it might be something to do with the fact my battery went flat the other night and something has...

Hi, I test drove a Megane 250 Cup and Clio Sport 200 back to back today and I can't decide which is better. The car will mainly be a daily driver with occasional trackday use. The handling of both is great but the Megane might be a better car to live with day to day (if only it looked better)...

So what happened to you all then? I remeber the thread saying a few T owners were joining the goup buy then nothing. . . . Was hoping there would be a few reviews, videos, sound bites anything really. Is it silence as all you do now is sit in the car all day everyday listening to the induction...

ok i know yozza are ledgendary compared to piper,, but iv found a fairly new 2 months old piper system for half the price of a yozza ?? can i have some opions please, shal i get the piper or save and get the yozza ??

All, Can anyone tell me if the front wheel bearing is the same as that of a 182 sport. Mine was being down today but GSF sent two, both of which were incorrect. I've told my mechanic to order straight from Renault in the morning. Just wondering the experience of others on here. Thanks, David.

Ok, so i dont normally whore, but thanks to James (JMS) and Mike (FailSport) last night, the TroFail is now finished. I'm sure a few of you will have read my project thread, & i'll update that with more info than in here, but chuffed isnt the word, it drives brilliantly & looks ruddy lovely imho...

Evening All! Trophy 369 (one of the Northern Irish cars) is currently enjoying it's wee stint over in England while I'm working here. Being that age, a timing / auxiliary belt was soon due, and with a service looming, and a wheel bearing calling out to be retired I started ringing around to...

Hey people, i have been looking around for a while regarding an exhaust replacement for my 182 and have settled on the rs 192. After reading many good reports from users on here and listening and watching youtube clips of them when fitted its seems like a good option. Will be...

I have just been informed by the old bill that my exhaust is to loud And causing anti social behaviour and been threatened with a section 59 on me and the car. I no my car is loud but ent that loud Just woundering if any one nos the legal level of noise I have read up on lots of things by wat i...

Thought I'd post here as well as CS because it seems a lot of Trophy owners have this system. NB: the first graph is power, the second is torque. A couple of months ago after being fed up of the standard tail pipes, no noise, and a general sense of being slightly resitricted at higher revs...

Was under the bonnet of the trophy tonight and i came across this unknown wire. Its been taped up and it been hanging down for some time as it was all dirty. All my lights / fogs / horn and everthing else work so i have no idea what its for. . . .Can someone check there 182 to maybe have a...

Hi all. I have recently fitted some Eibach sportline springs to my trophy. Now when i am approaching or on full lock when manoeuvering the top mounts are clonking away like a good'un? It used to make the noise every now and then before i put them on but no way near as much as it is now...

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...
