pressure

Has anyone attempted to use a bike rack on the trophy. I am a little concerned at the pressure it will put on the rear spoiler. i have one of those strap type versions that you fit/hook around the boot area. Previous vehicle I could fit the strap underneath the spoiler, the trophy you cannot...

Been discussed so often but im looking for some recent opinions of users. So the question is. . . Front Discs. Should you go for Brembo Max or High Carbon? Cheers

I'm thinking of buying a couple of Mich PE3's as the fronts need replacing. Rears have covered at least 15,000 miles but have good tread. Do you, A) Replace the fronts with the new tyres? Or B) Switch the partially worn tyres on the rear to the front, and put the new tyres on the rear. ?

Hi guys- must make this quick! Tried to replace the windscreen wash in my dads 182. Opened what I thought (it may not be!!!) may be the windscreen wash top- and found the lid and opening contained a mayonnaise substance. I know this is a really bad sign if it’s the oil top. :S I have circled...

My rear pads need replacing very soon i've used the search facility and found lots of posts regarding brakes etc. Now i know the brakes at the rear only take about 20%, so i was going to go for either the standard renault OEM pads or the Ferodo DS2500's which i think quite a few people are...

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, As Cambelts are the new 'Hot Topic' for Trophy's at the Moment can we maybe Sticky this topic so it's easy to see. Can we start a list below of dealers that people have used and been happy with for getting the work done. Just need dealer name, if the service was good or not, price...

I plan on doing an arch detail on the trophy soon and plan on giving the Sach's a scrub up aswell Is there anything I should be aware of before I set out? Also is there anything I can use to protect the seals etc from failing

hi folks something strange happened whilest driving the trophy tonight, basicly was just driving normally along around 40mph when the oil light on the dash flashed up with the words STOP NOW, anyways i stopped and thought no way has the oil ran out as i had checked it a week or so ago, i checked...

Hello Just got my dampers back from Bg (who have done a top job) fitted the sportlines that a bought with them and the car looks higher!. Isn't is ment to be lower!? Anything I could of done wrong or any garage in the Leeds area who could have a look to make sure?.. Pics coming soon. Cheers

Anyone decided to replace the clutch yet?? 50 k on mine, no probs other than it squeaks when it's hot on the track ( never on the road) - thinking of doing it anyhow. Any thoughts, 5 years now folks: it's about time maybe????

In my quest to create a 100% as-new Trophy, I would like to replace the silver-grey insert on the gear knob, as it's slightly scratched from a ring. My question is can you just replace the insert or do you have to replace the whole knob? I'm assuming the Trophy gear knob and insert is the same...

And is it normal for this to leak oil inside it? Any ideas on cost for that? Also, I noted a wee plug on the aalternator that has a wired running out of it but also appears to have a stub of a green wire, almost like its been cut off Can anyone else confirm if theirs is like this and if...

Has any one had to replace the thumb grips on the steering wheel in the trophy? if so can you suggest and point me in the right direction to where I can buy the them from? I have spotted a link to a site on here before but can't seem to find it now. Also does anyone know the recommended tyre...

Hi guys, Am in the process of removing my dampers and I cant get the top nut to budge at all. Sprayed it with WD40 but still no luck. If I was to put the jack under the disc with the car on axle stands would this take some of the pressure off the nut making it easier to undo? Or should I...

HI iv got a 182 cup 2004, just reasently its started blowing out hot air at what ever temp selected sometimes it works correctly but rarely, the air con works because i can hear it click in when the air con button is pressed, can anybody help please!!??

Hey. Im in the process of building a substantial workshop and thought I would post a progress thread on here now I have actually got to a stage where the buildings is nearly ready to be built. I’ll give you all a bit of background as to how it all came about… Around 15 years ago my parents...

Hey guys, I've just been reading 'Performance French Cars' magazine and noticed that they've done an article on putting the Clio rs200 on a rolling road. The article states that they had 217bhp from the motor? Has anyone on here got a clio rs200 and a RR read out yet? I know that I'm digging up...

........... Had a further play with the car today and replaced other balljoint. Still shocked at how tight the holding bolt was, wondering if they were worn as very rusty!! Took springs off struts and pushed hard on 1 of the dampers and it seemed to move in quite a bit with force. Should they...

well i have been a throphy owner for 2 days now and today its been dry enough to test the car on a few twisty sections i know like the back of my hand, i have found the trophy to feel a bit odd to be honest, on turn in it feels as tho the backend sways out but at the same time it stays planted...

Hi, Would anyone be interested in part exchanging a Trophy for a 2006 Forester Sti? The Trophy must have low mileage, FSH and be in mint condition. The Forester has done 22k miles, FSH, has just had the 3 year service in December (all fluids, spark plugs replaced etc) and needs nothing doing. It...

Hi, My and my mate were talking about the clio 182 trophy and he said that he thought the front splitter was just for show. Does anyone have a spec sheet or any details saying how much downforce is generated from the front splitter and rear spoiler over a standard renault sport clio without...

Has anyone thought about doing this to match the rest of the plastic interior?

I have a problem with it. When I go round a corner it feels quite light and tends to understeer and feel light at the front end. Furthermore if I push even slightly more the back end comes round. At first I thought I had it wrong but as daft as it sounds I went out to see if I did and provoke...

Just passing through and noticed some very useful discussions on this website so I thought I'd join! I hope I am not intruding! I own a 206 GTi 180 myself, lightly modified running about 177bhp at the moment (just under 150whp). I wanted to find out how 172/182 owners have found modification on...

after spending £100 last year on better gear, moving to meguirs, i've now discovered the internet's detailing world and spent another £100 on more clobber that you can't buy in Halfords! Bad on my finances but the T will benefit tremendously! Meguiars Lambswool Wash Mitt Eurow - Shag Pile...
