noise

Another great meet. Not as much convoy driving as the previous few outings but a good opportunity to chat and also to get some passenger rides! (Big thanks to Dallas for negotiating the tight gaps, 4 up in the blue barge! Also to Jules and Luke for back to back Orb race/soft comparisons!). Here...

thought i would just say hi, i have lovely 04 182 full fat cup and what great cars. A friend of mine has a trophy and told me about the site so thought i would sign up. I have been a big corrado enthusiast up until this point and regularly used there forum as it was a great wealth of knowledge...

Yesterday my trophy developed this dodgy noise on the way back home from work, it was a pop followed by a scraping/cracking noise of metal on metal. I have checked the rear suspension over pretty thoroughly, and can't find any problems! The only things that i haven't eliminated are the dampers...

I need to replace my standard exhaust as it's making all sorts of farting, rattling and generally renault-like noises. Ive been looking at the RS192 vs Yozza debate and had a look at some you tube vids but they all sound a bit on the loud side. I'm really after something that isn't much louder...

I've been told by a Renault dealer that the 2litre in these, presumably all 182s, is supposed to whistle when running...??? And no i don't mean a little rendition of 'my 'ol man's a dustman'!

Hi all, hope i'm posting in the right place. Picked up my trophy no. 108 on sunday, noticed in the past few days a whine or whiring noise which to me sounded like a pulley bearing...on searching this site someone mentioned the idler bearing, i presume on the aux belt, on their trophy was causing...

Are these the ones that you guys are talking about: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/RENAULT-CLIO-172- ... otohosting Regards, jsthomson

Hi, I am thinking of buying a trophy but I am unsure what the noise levels of the car are during cruising. Bearing in mind that the car is lighter than the competition I would have thought that the redundant weight was removed by removing the heavy sound insulation? Does anyone have a dB meter...

Anyone else having the same problem and can it be fixed?......when I take the car out for a good blast or from a long journey, when I come to stop (traffic lights or jct) The car seems to 'tick' loudly? and if I up the revs slightly the ticks seem to go faster to the revs?? I thought it might be...

Just been reading on this http://www.pistonheads.com/news/default ... ryId=19541 about the possible production of the RS3, would imagine it would be a awsome car. My issue i saw a awsome looking Audi A3 shape in my local Sainsburys about 1 week ago, from a distance it looked like a S3 but when i...

I had read a blog from a team that races 172s and they had said that the rear wheel bearings were a consumable item and needed replacing pretty often. Yesterday i changed my rear brakes & bearings for brand new genuine renault bits, and also cleaned several tonnes of crap off the inside of my...

Hi fella's I know this has been covered many times but does anyone have any clear pictures of the thumb wheel preferably with it removed if not any close ups would be good. Also the strut top mount bearings, how much if any play should there be in them as the ones on mine look like they have...

not long til august and my 25h birthday! and some family money coming my way. want to know whats the best machine, the evo 6 tommi makinen edition or the ultra rare scooby impreza p1? i will only keep it for about a year because i still want to keep my trophy and wont be able to keep both...

Hi. Iv had my clio 182 for about 4 weeks now. It has around 22000 miles on the clock on a 55 plate. As iv been driving around iv noticed a whirring noise from the gearbox when driving along in any gear which gets loader when i accelerate. its quite annoying and i just wanted to know if this is...

Hi guys, I've got a 2003 Clio Sport 2.0 16v 172 and there seems to be a problem with the brakes which is worrying me a bit. Basically when you put your foot on the brake pedal it takes AGES to slow down... almost like they aren't working at all. I took it to a mate who likes to poke about with...

They are loose again, but worse than the last time. Tightend only a year ago. I'm getting mark fish to look at them in about a month plus geo. Could they be worn out after 25K? Are there any motorsport ones i can upgrade to? :mrgreen: Does anyone know for and against of this, plus other...

One of the small steel brackets holding the ECU in place has cracked. Is there a fix? Its a Group N ECU which I got from GDI a few years ago, should I just have a word with them? Thanks for any help.

Hi all, I don't post much on here, but I thought there would be a higher number of Orbisoud exhaust owners here than on CS. I'm after a bit of feedback on the exhaust systems. I've had mine on the car for quite a few months and considering the price of the system I've got to admit I was...

Its my birthday next month and im treating myself to a new exhaust (any excuse) but I cant decide which one to go for, Yozzasport or RS192? Personally I love the sound of the Yozza but dont know whether ill be able to put up with the immense noise that it makes. Whichever one I buy will be a...

Arrived Today. Cant wait to fit them and test them out. Ill fit them before the weekend. Here are some pics.

Hi everyone - I've been knocking around the idea of getting a Trophy for a while now, and I'm going to be buying one very soon now. Quick question: is it best to get a bog-stock example (what I've always done in the past) or does the Trophy respond well to a cat-back pipe and a panel filter...

Solid top mounts are going to be fitted to my car shortly. Im going for the KTR Solid Top Mounts which look very similar to the Compbrake ones. Those of you with Compbrake top mounts fitted I want to know whether you have experienced any movement in the mounts resulting in geometry changes...

Any one on here had any experience with a Viper induction kit. I know the Maxogen is the ultimate but can't really afford the price. You can get them now for £166.37 from the Pipercrossshop using this code I picked up at the Autosport show "AUTO15" which gives you 15% discount before the end of...

Does anyone know what would be a fair price to expect for the Trophy interior, that's the front seats, rear bench, door cards, rear cards and all the other bits of plastic rearward of the drivers seat? Sure i saw an old post on here from early 2007 where someone said a pair were fetching £510...

hi folks, bit of a strange one, started to get a little whistling sound which has now got even worse from the exhaust over the christmas hols. It was coming from the join between the cat and the middle section pipe. Took the cat off and it looks like the ovel part where it butts up to the middle...

change of plan :D

Hi all, Having previously used induction kits on all my cars, I ran into a dilemma on recently purchasing a 100% standard Trophy. It is an absolutely fantastic car with a nice raspy exhaust, but doesn't sound like it feels with such a muffled induction sound, something that I would like to...

I get a deep creak/groan sort of noise when pulling away. And no it's not the ABS system, it does it whenever pulling away from a standstill. Only started this week really, and i think it's related to my worn wishbone balljoints. Normally i'd think engine mounts but it dunno. Anyone else had...

Discovered tonight my side light on the passsenger side is out, even with the headlight turned on the side light doesnt come on, neither does the one next to it, just the headlight comes on, checked the bulb that is clipped in and it looks fine but i couldnt get the other bulb out. Also with the...

Hi there. Ive just had my Cam Belt, Aux belt and water filter changed. I test drove it after and got a funny sound in low revs when i floored it in 1st. Sounded like the air box had been left off, but only at low revs and when i floored it. Anyway, took it back to the mechanic and he tightened...
