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?

Afternoon all, Just recently bought a Trophy the other week after being jealous of another guy on my street :( Don't think I've been out of it for 2 weeks! why i have not bought one before i do not know! Anyway....Looking to do the usual standard upgrades. Exhaust (as standard sounds like a...

My Trophy has had new discs and pads fitted at around xmas time (before I bought it) and I took the trophy out yesterday to show a couple of mates. I must have driven about 10 miles on some country roads, fairly spirited but nothing insane with some mild braking. Next thing I know someones...

I'm looking at new rear brakes as mine are pretty much worn out. I'ved been considering the KTR uprated rear brake kit and wondered if anyone has any expirience of using this set up and whether it is any good? I'm slighty sceptical as the whole kit is cheaper than Reanult standard discs and...

Hi all, I need to get some pads and discs ordered this week and when looking i have come across these performance friction 97 pads, i like what i've read about them but was wondering if anyone on here has any real world information on them. Two things i've read are that they are messy pads...

Sorry for yet another mpg thread, but i find it quite an interesting subject! I filled up after work on thursday(shell 95 as was only option), drove home, average was 46mpg by the time i'd got back. Still hovering around 43mpg after work the next day. Drove up to central london at 8pm, still at...

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...

Thinking of upgrading from my 172 to a 197 cup or megane 230. wondering if anyone can help me decide. i like the idea of the stripped out 197 but think the 230 is a bit better to live with everyday. i've drove the 230 and it was very quick, but havent had a go of a 197 yet. im also thinking...

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...

He is making this website as a websire for all car enthusiasts alike, and has asked me to spread the word to try and get some numbers up.

I'm looking for interest on a potential second batch of these exhausts. It's the best fitted exhaust available for the 182 and sounds ace. Weighs around 6kg less than standard system. There are a few vids on you tube if you have a search. http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...33374763237041...

As above. Anybody else read the article?

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...

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?

Well the day arrived today where I px'ed 193 against my new shiny toy. Sorry to see the little fella go but hopefully the next person to buy it will get as much enjoyment out of it as I have. Can a mod sort out the changing to former owner. Anyway, onwards and upwards literally... Here is the...

Cheapest place to buy? cheers in advance.

Bought the May issue this morning. There's an article including the Trophy. Haven't had a chance to read it yet - work keeps getting in the way....

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...
