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

Afternoon all, I just waved goodbye to my 350z and am on the hunt for either a Trophy or civic type R...I'm about to leave to go and view a trophy and was after any basic look outs as I've not had the time to do my own proper research. Any tips would be great. Thanks in advance.

Has anybody tried Goodyear Eagle f1's on the Trophy. After a lot of searching I can find very little information. Also there seem to be 2 different types. Asymmetric 2 and ds3, anyone know the difference. Really hard to find any details on them. Probably going to go with AD08r's but my local...

Been looking into k-techs supercharger kits and wondering if anyone has heard much about them? Pros and cons? Just to see if it is going to be worth it or not. Thanks

I am selling my Clio trophy, #083. It was registered Seeptember 2005 and I have owned it since September 2007. It's got a full service history, the bulk of which has been completed at Birchdown. The Cambelt was changed September 2010, the auxilliary belt September 2013 and the dampers...

Hi all, Does anyone know of any specialists in or around south Wales that will cater for a full cambelt and aux belt, dephaser and tensioner change? I have searched around and only found AP Developments but I think they have either gone out of business or changed location. I have also...

I've had #455 for nearly two and a half years now. It was my first hot hatch and I fell instantly & deeply in love with the well-matched performance & handling. I always said it's a car I'll have forever, but more recently I've started thinking maybe it's time to move on and try something...

Anyone got a website and contact for jms. Rgs ian

Hi, I have been quoted £580 for all of the the above supplied and fitted. Does that sojnd about right and is there anything else needing done at the sametime? jsthomson

I am 100% NOT selling this car. Instead I'm arranging an agreed value with my insurance provider, but I'm after some guidance on what value to go for. Assume the car is standard, bar wiper mod & stainless steel ProSpeed custom exhaust. (It actually has a fair number of mods but they're all...

When one of my Sachs failed recently I was in a real dilemma over what to do. To have them refurbished is the best part of £500 just for the front two shocks and there’s no real warranty on the repair. Combine that with the horror stories of people having them refurbished just for them to either...

Hi Fellas, just wanted to say hi! I've just joined and I'm on the look out for a Trophy to replace my turbo'd mk1 MX5. The mazda has a Megasquirt ecu and I have done all of the work on it myself - I've spent the past 2 or 3 years building it up to be my perfect driving car. I don't really want...

As title, Went down to see Nick at PureMotorsport today to have one of his nice new 182 manifold back systems fitted. I chose to decat instead of use his option of a race cat, purely to keep costs down. The system gave a proven 6.6 hp gain on the rolling road, back to back over stock on his...

Hi All, Thought it was time to introduced myself...... I registerded in November 2011, after acquiring my first Clio V6 255 (Phase 2), my first Renault, with the intention of buying a 182 Trophy, but the purchase never happened. Now, a couple of other acquisitions later, I believe I have...

Is it worth taking it to be done at a dealership or are they likely to be over fussy?

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...

I'm very reluctantly selling my Trophy. It is in exceptional condition, with only 43,500 miles and a full service history. I bought it 2 and a half years ago with the original tyres on the rear wheels and they still haven't (quite) worn out - that's how gently the car has been driven. The front...

Renault Sport Clio 182 Trophy well maintained reluctant sale (company car and girlfriend says I cannot have 3 cars) £4500 Loads of history and hundreds spent but still standard (part from cat back miltec exhaust) MOT 14/05/14 needed new CAT to pass this year TAX 30/11/13 Full Service carried...

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.

Hi Guys, Does anyone else who still frequents this forum have this set-up? I'm having a major issue with the fit between the 2 parts. I am getting a blowing which caused me to fail the MOT for emissions. My MOT centre managed to get the car through but after some spirited driving it is...

Hi, I've just had my dampers back from Simon at Cornering Force and don't hesitate to fully recommend his service. They are now 'unpinned' and so I want to try and understand what the adjuster actually does and to what degree. Does anyone have a damper curve for the Sachs at different levels...
