Trophy found on ebay, up for bargain price: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/renault-clio-182-trophy-/311293338566?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item487a8763c6

I got hold of a trophy at a reasonable price. I knew it needed work. One of the things it came to my attention is the sound the engine is making. Here is a quick video. 182 trophy engine grind: http://youtu.be/Sh0a8OIifEI I got a receipt for the dephaser and Pully. If the engines gubbed I...

Morning all I need to replace my front discs and pads all round. Thinking of sticking with the OE items but would appreciate everyone's thoughts. Car is mostly used on the road but likely to do the occasional track day (perhaps once a year). Look forward to hearing your thoughts. Thanks Mark

My trophy sounds like the front n/s wheel bearing in really noisy but o/s hub an disc are hot but n/s is cold ?? Any help will be great

Basically I'm thinking of upgrading my car in the near future to one with a bit more power while maintaing good handling. I've got a few questions I'm hoping you'll answer and I'm sure this forum will be a bit biased but I look forward to your comments. If i do decide to buy it trophy, it will...

My T requires a new exhaust system as the back boxes and middle box are breaking down inside, corrosion etc. I do not want a loud exhaust I want something very similar to standard ! I know there's not much to gain but also something that will slightly boost performance, so a good exhaust...

Which tyres offer the best value & performance in 205/45/16? I only use the T for weekend fun so road noise & wet weather capabilities are of no concern, I just want great performance & value for money. Of course, they have to be road legal too! Suggestions & recommendations most appreciated.

What rare cars have you seen on the road? 1. I spotted a debadged camouflaged BMW i8 last Friday on M25 2. Veyron on the M40 3. 26 Trophys at Gaydon 2 years ago ;)

What kind of springs work best with the Sachs apart from the standard ones? Looking to go for stiffer springs but don't want to wreck the dampers in the process. Thanks.

Hi, I have found this review on You Tube; is it a joke?! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3PsD6yFyHPY You'll either laugh or want to hit him!

Hi all was wondering if anyone out there has an aftermarket exhaust for sale. My standard one rotted through so thought it would be time for another. Cheers Rich

I can hear a "tap tap tap" coming from the engine bay of my Trophy when at idle. Also the idle is quite lumpy and uneven. The tapping is actually louder from inside the car than the outside even with the bonnet open. The taps increase with the revs up to say 1500/2000 but then I cant hear...

Hi ppl I've organised a group buy on the rs192 exhaust systems through Yates and Bloomfield, the price is £299 cat back and £350 inc de-cat inc p&p! There is 4 names down but need 10+ to secure this price! Normally sell for over 350 with postage on the cat back systems. Most of you will know...

Does anyone have any contacts at Michelin? Preferably in product development, manufacturing or supply chain. Customer services or marketing better avoided. Looking at Michelin's current UK range the Pilot Exalto PE2 (for the Sports and Roadster segment so they say) is still available in...

I'm new to the forum - please don't let that put you off at all. I've previously owned Vauxhalls and have thousands of posts on Vauxhall forums! I'm selling a Scorpion cat-back stainless steel exhaust that I've just removed from my 172 Cup. It's in perfect condition, only removed as I've gone to...

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 :(

Spotted today at 1pm ish on Trumpington Road in Cambridge centre. I was in my was in the work car but I beeped the Hell out of you.

Righto, my front sachs started leaking so i've removed them from the car, sent them off to BG to be stripped, they've sent them back to me to be blasted and coated then i'm sending them back for refitting. While that's being done i'm working on the rest of the susp. Removed the arch liners and...

Swapped my rears to the front as treads heading towards 3mm. That way I can replace them ASAP and put the new ones back on the back for winter. Wondering if this was wise as car feels very odd! Had balancing done on them but since then car still seems to wander more. Wondering if the tyres...

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...

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.

Hi, Well it that time where I have to get the belts (timimg etc)done... what belts get done and how much does it normally cost.. Renault are quoting £658. Does that sound resonable or should i look around. regards, jsthomson

Just weighted my Trophy at BTM performance. 1093kg with half a tank in it and 12 CDs. Anyone else weighted there Trophy?

Those with PS3s fitted - what tyre pressures are you using? I normally run 32 front but they seem a bit squidgy if you chuck the front around. I'm guessing a softer sidewall causes this? Gonna try 35 front later and have a tinker.

Hello, My Trophy is all booked in for a Service & Cambelt in the next week and my pockets are literally empty. . . Mainly due to the fact that this also comes in the month when the MOT, Insurance and Tax are all due. Ouch! I was just wondering if there was anything else i should be aksing the...

Hi everyone.. does anybody know if http://www.rs192.co.uk get back to you after you have ordered from them? Ordered the cat back exhaust system yesterday, payment has gone through, recieved a receipt of paypal but nothing from the website confirming the order at all!?!? just a bit concerned...

so recently Mr Clarksons words have started to ring true. its not the noise i dont like, i love music in the car and i love listening to the massive suck of the V6 air box on sunday mornings. its just motorway road noise thats starting to get to me. having to shout at passengers, so i might...

I know what you're all going to say!!!! lol I bought a set of EBC yes I know EBC! drilled and grooved front discs and RedStuff pads for the T, I was going to buy brembo's but the EBC we're just so cheap off a friend that runs a car parts shop. The braking on them isn't too bad and I would say...
