noise

I just got my car back from the dealer after the following work: -new gearbox -new clutch -new flywheel -new driveshafts -back to standard sachs dampers (original ones at the front, brand new at the rear) This little lot was the result of accidentally clocking 2nd rather than fourth from the...

Well after selling my Trophy i realised that finding a replacement for it wasn't going to be easy, after considering many many different cars i decided to stick with another hatch and decided to stick with Renault as i really do like how they drive, very soon i found this........... Only had...

right so thats the brakes done, so lets keep the ball rolling exhausts which one, it seems to be between the scorpion, Janspeed and ORB?? ( the hells and orb?) moneys not really an issue coz im working very hard atm. also sports cat. is the K-tec one any good??? Harnesses what you got? get...

I am now the proud owner of a Trophy, picked it up yesterday and drove the 280 miles home with it and absolutely love it! theres a slight rattle coming from the bootlid, it is only slight but can you adjust the catch on them or not? does anyone elses do it?

Hi there, Big problems... I have just spent a couple of hours with my friend at his garage trying to line up this exhaust. everything is fine until we go to fit the last (right hand side) back box which the pushes everything of to the left almost touching the bumper! He does tune cars for a...

had new pads and discs put on yesterday, and they've just started squeeling at me why?? its so annoying

Have any of you Trophy owners out there got a Yozzasport system on your car, and is it really as 'LOUD' as some of the forums make out? I have gone round the houses with my exhaust choice and now looking at the yozza, as the build quality looks excellent and there does'nt seem to be any bad...

hi guys just wondering if any one else's Clio sounds bad when cold between 1000 - 3000 rpm? sounds lk its blowing? etc had it checked and there are no leaks? any other reason for this there is a janspeed exhaust fitted middle and back box...just wondering if a d-cat will sound better/cure the...

Hi all Ive just recently fitted a cat-back RS192 and ever since the engine doesnt run properly when cold. At 1000-2000 revs when gently accelerating i.e. 10-20% throttle it pops and farts and doesnt want to go at all, but when the revs get up to 3ishk and above it springs back into life. this...

I have a week of work soon, so I was thinking of getting the front dampers refurbished. However, having seen a new suspension setup on another car (more in a minute), I want to do some suspension mods at the same time. Ok, in my opinion, The car is far too soft, more so at the rear. This is...

Does anyone know/have one fitted, whether there is a big difference between the Janspeed sports and supersports versions?Obviously noise but is the supersports much louder? sorry to go on.. :oops: but also would the 2.5" bore on the KTR ultra janspeed make much difference? Merci

Has anyone tried running the standard exhaust system on a 182 with a straight through pipe in place of the centre silencer? In the middle of buying a house so can't justify a new stainless system, wondered if this would have a positive effect on the noise!

Hi all I have only had the Trophy a few weeks (1500 miles) but the PE2's on the front are in need of a change. I have tryed quite a few tyres in the past on my Ph1 172 but have never tryed R888's... so I thought I'd get a set and see how they do on a day to day basis through the summer. I have...

Should the manifold to cat connection have a nut on either side of the spring thing? This is what I mean Am I missing anything? reason being i'm trying to sort a metallic rattle when accelerating hard out.. I think its exhaust related but just trying to narrow it down :(

ahright folks, has anyone had this problem? when im driving along at 40 plus and look in my rearview mirror i cant see out it very clearly, its like a vibration or something and its abit blurry, Theres no noise or anything its just like the window is moving but its obviously not, any ideas? phillip

My electric windows make a worrying noise, as they reach the top of their travel. It sounds like the glass hitting the door, maybe they are out of alignment and are being pushed too far. Sometimes when I go over a bump I can here the noise again. It sounds like the window's about to break. Any...

Ok, I think this is a different one. Mine sounds fine until you go over the magic 3K rpm mark. Then as the engine revs go down towards 3k (decelerate) the exhausts rattles and moans alot. It stops at the 3K point on the way down too. The extra vibrations from this can be felt though the gear...

Yes tread shuffle not truffle shuffle! :lol: Well my question is, is there such a thing? If so what does it mean! I ask because had the Trophy booked in yesterday as im noticing small knocking noise when moving the steering wheel ever so slightly from side to side! You can also feel it...

My exhaust has recently started to sound really loud. It's standard but it’s turned quite boomy on the move and when stationary it resonates into the boot and is starting to get annoying. It is due a service however I'm thinking the cat has gone? The engine is lumpy all of the time more than...

Hey, basically the boot is always locked and cannot be opened, doesn't make any noise when locking / unlocking the car. Just had a little search through previous topics and seen that others have had similar problems, however no-one has come back and said how they have fixed this. Any help much...

Can someone clear this one up for me? Maybe being abit stupid but what is the acoustic valve and what does it do when fitted and when removed?

hi there, i dont suppose anyone has a spare front splitter for sale because when i was washing the car this morning i noticed mine was cracked right in the middle and it was hanging down, :x I thought i would of heard it carck when it broke but i never new anything about it till i saw it...

Sometimes when driving at low speed I can hear a quite squeeking noise coming from the front of the car. The T has only done 25k miles so I'm not sure what t could be. I notice it on a road surface thats un-even where it causes the front end to bounce/skip along such as on cobbles. Could it just...

A couple of sundays back Steve was kind enough to take me out for a run in his cup and show me why he decided to change from the trophy.. and then passed over to me for some fun down the the rs clios favourite territory the bumpy back roads/lanes, and now the chassis and the size over the trophy...

hi, Been looking to get another car seeing as I have blown my car up at the minute. Now while I love my type R I can't really risk blowing it up again while doing track days. So had a look at swapping to a hot hatch. Looked at all the cars and decided it has to be the clio 182. Now what I...

was looking for an exhaust and a yozza came up, paid 250 with a decat, was worried about the noise as i have heard they can be loud!!! not fitted decat but sounds ok, not as bad as i thought!!! drops a bit on right though, fitted new reas bush arms too. need to have another look, nice to have...

Was driving on an A road at speed and needed to slow down, however, the car did not slow down as it should and literally had to press the pedal till it would go no further. The car eventually slowed to a stop right up behind the car in front waiting at the round about. He must have thought I...

which one would be the better?? I am making the 4.5hr drive to prospeed tomorro. I am aslo thinking which would be better to sell on when I come to sell exhaust as they will be making a flange fitment instead of 'Ball & Trumpet' type - If I have a decat they are also modding my OE cat when MOT...

did everyone else have this? does this mean the valve only fully opens at 5k and as such its removal has spread the torque around the rev range more? or am i talking ballacks?

Hope you guys can help me :D Question 1 I'm thinking about replacing the exhaust on T450, would you recommend replacing the rear and centre exhaust mounts as well, (i've/shes done 22k).? also whats this exhaust mod i've heard about concerning hosepipe/sockets/copper pipe etc? Question 2 i'm...
