noisy

I believe you can get a (?) mechanical Quaiffe diff fitted to a 182...? Around £1000 fitted. Meant to be a very useful mod. Has anyone got any experience/knowledge?

Hey guys! Just wondering if anyone's got a supersprint exhaust fitted? I hadn't heard anything about them until today off a mate, so I'm just wondering if there's anyone on here that's got one? If so what's the sound like on it? I'm after a nice system, not too loud and not boomy, just...

Just thought I'd let you all know, Monaco is pleasant this evening and the med was warm when I had a swim this afternoon! Practice tomorrow, should be good ! ;-)

Another trackday today here in sunny SW France - first outing with the 15" rims and 888's. They were superb, a good 2 to 3 seconds a lap quicker than the Exaltos on Turinis - however some of that might have been me getting more used to the T. Tinker might be better placed to comment as he had...

Fitted the top mounts, camber bolts and strut brace today - geo check tomorrow, had a drive feels pretty good but who can tell on the road, track day on the 24th so that will be a good test. Thinking that the shocks might need a refurb now though, as one had a faint sign of oil mist on the base...

I've got some more showing recent work I've done too - tba later ; oh, and one of 304's stablemate.

Has anyone seen this? http://www.k-tecracing.com/show_product.asp?id=2981 Seems like a good buy. How much do they cost to service, and how often?

What does 3 short tones mean?? My T does it randomly currently once a week lol

Where are the deals to be had on PE2's at the moment? Need two new fronts, definately noticed the wear today on the wet greasy surfaces!! :shock:

Are all Trophy owners as "sad" as me? I have had my T for nearly 5 months now and I smile as much now as i did the day I picked it up when I am in it. I just had to replace both rear wheel bearings (only 1 had gone but did both anyway) at a cost of 115 quid. Also having new front tyres on...

Hi guys Been using the carbon lorraine pads for the past few weeks but still find them very noisy. Can anybody recommend a good all round pad thats good for normal and fast road use that wont cost the earth? Wont use them on track as have the carbons still which i find excellant apart from...

Hi folks, just put some carbon loraine pads on with new discs a few days ago, they are well bed in by now. Ive heard that they are noisy but you cant live with the sound of them. is there anyway you can quiet them down apart from only using them on track days????

A couple of people have had a look at my car,as they believe that the drop-link/anti-roll bar? bush has perished on the driver's side. and as a result when the car is driven, there is a loud creaking noise whenever the steering wheel is turned. We've had a feel around, and where the anti-roll...

I'm thinking of getting something RWD to replace my Trophy perhaps an Elise or VX220 but can anyone make any other suggestions or have they had any experience with either car? Thanks. :)

have the trophies got a 6 speed gearbox?

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...

Hoping for some decision making replies here :wink: After doing bedford on monday, i need to improve the brakes, They're good, but not good enough, they are what was on the car when i bought it. I'm not looking for disc recomendations as such as i have a set of brembo max's sat in the...

hi ya all i have decided to do couple bits to my T. would like to no your thoughts about what i want to order. milltek cat back with a sports cat :) group N engine and gearbox mounts, adjustable rear gaz coil over, piper cross induction kits, group N clutch re map and chip. i am having my cam...

As title says now and then there seems to be no go from the engine as if its sticking (if that makes sense) only seemed to occour in 4th at around 3k revs, you could feel the vibration through the throttle pedal too. Any ideas?. (i have been having some probs with my new pads and discs and also...

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...

OK a few things have changed and my Anniversary is up for sale. We bought the car from a Fireman who got it from his local VW Dealership with just over 1K Miles on the clock and kept it for the next 6 years,The car has only ever been serviced from the same VW Main dealer he got the car from and...

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

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...

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 everyone, Yet another couple of questions...... The Trophy I bought last Saturday still has 2 months warranty remaining (the advance one), as it was bought by the last owner as a Renault used car only 10 months ago. I'm used to French cars having problems, but as I've still got this...

Having been snowed in two years running, I'm thinking my trophy has a profound disslike to snow. Ok, I know it is not designed for it. I love my Trophy, but this gets me down every year. My dad has a VW Passat oil burner (No I say!) and has no problems what so ever. So people, what cars are good...

I know a few on here have fitted compbrake STM's and I need some advice on which order to fit each part. These are from KTR but im pretty sure there identical. See pics:

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...

hi folks, looking at changing the front pads and disks. looking at k-tec website, i know most favour the pagig rs4-2 pads, but talking to a friend who has an e30 m3 and uses the carbon lorraine pads which are also on the k-tec website. anybody have them or heard eny reports about them. it does...

I want to get a new exhaust for my Trophy, but after reading all the posts on here, still cant decide between the following 3. The K-Tec Ultra Performance 182 Exhaust System (Supersports Version) The Yozzasport Clio182 Catback System or the Janspeed 182 Stainless Steel Exhaust I have been...
