pressures

Got a couple of issues regarding the handling on my Trophy, i need to have a poke about on the ramp just haven't had a chance yet. Basically the steering feels a little sticky just either side of straight ahead, also seems to have very little self centering action, as in if you're on full lock...

Hey 8) I had my first track day on Monday and loved it! :D :D I was terrified at first but soon settled in after a couple of laps. BRAKES: When I first went out I managed 4 laps and had to pull into the pits as I was experiencing a little brake fade and wanted to check tyre pressures...

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...

OK - It's easy so I won't even post the question - maximise the photo to have a good look then complete the answer: The wheels in the photo are ****** ** *** **** ****. Just to assist - I got my track wheels/Tyres Speedline corse 2118's 15 inch rims with Toyo R888 GG (195/50/15). Tried...

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...

What is the latest thinking on this for the T? I'm currently looking for a set of wheels and tyres to use on the track (not for the road at all), my starter for 10 is: 16" rims and R888's but is that the best option?? Also, related to the track, what tyre pressures do people think work best...

Hey guys, spotted a Trophy on PH for a good price that is near me and was curious what sort of MPG people are getting from theirs. I'll never get near a motorway so A & B road figures would be grand, cheers guys.

Ok, there's good news and bad news. I'll start with the good, so I can delay the inevitable lol. I LOVE these tyres. I fitted them at the beginning of December. I've used them through snow, ice, rain, you name it. They start well from cold for a track tyre. A bit of wheel spin in snow and ice...

Hello CT :D Recently I have been getting 24 mpg so I thought something must be up with the car. I had a look at the tyres a couple of days ago but they all looked find, today however, I thought I would check the pressures to make sure they were ok as ive not checked them for a couple of...

Hi everyone, looking for some advice.... My 43k trophy has been an absolute joy to own for the past year and a half although i am now beginning to wonder if something is up with it. When im driving along at normal speeds there seems to be a bit more play around the straight ahead when i wigle...

Hi fellas After selling my Trophy I bought a 172 cup to build into a sprint and hillclimb car. I may have posted this elsewhere but cant remember (must be my age!) Heres the link to my blog. Any questions post it here! http://w193tfvhillclimbcar.blogspot.com/ :D

Just checked my tyre pressures after recently buying the car. Rears were around 20, fronts were around mid 20's Bumped them up to 33/30 as per the manual. Car now feels very squirmy and skate like on roundabouts and such, it was like glue before. Do you guys find that less pressure works best?

I have placed an order for these on Tuesday and I still have not received them. I was going to phone up on monday. I have realised that they are based in the lakes and so are probably flooded. Anyone got any further info on their situation. Does anywhere else sell them? I have 2 fronts on the...

Had a run on some Dastek rollers. Best run was 156.8bhp at the wheels and 192.6bhp at the fly. Interestingly I had just fitted a green cotton IK and have yet to fit the CAFs. The difference between bonnet up and bonnet down was 4bhp. Not an exact test but give and indication to how much CAFs...

Hello Trophy owners, I Know its probably been asked before but whats your average/best mpg figures?

Car's due up for a service & MOT which I will be doing within the next week or so. It's only done 22k so its just the usual 'A' service as per the guide on here. The thing is..my mpg for daily driving is between around 28 to 30...now reading some figures elsewhere,that seems a tad...

I'm currently having my dampers refurbished and had a snapped spring so I'm looking at getting some alternatives as replacements from Renault are a shocking price. I was recommended the Sportline Springs by Yozzasport but some other people think they will lower the car by up to 50mm?! Has...

Hiya all, am looking for a set of these as my next compromise road tyre. I am having a hard time finding them in Trophy size, any tips? Camskills do them but are out of stock ATM. Cheers,

for one reason or another, i wont bore you with the details I've had to buy 4 brand new PE2's to be fitted this friday. i have Trax sunday and have bought track time. can i run brand new rubber round a track or will i just shred them?

Hiya guys just wondered if anyone knows how to remove the standard gear knob?? Also what tyre pressures are you guys using for every day rod use? (Exalto's)

It's been a while since i've taken some photos of number 427. I have also been neglecting the paintwork but as i've been loving driving it again recently my love has been reignited :D Weapon of choice: Plus a huge selection of products. I got bored after 4 hours though. Tomorrow i will get...

Morning all ! ok so i got my Trophy Pretty much fresh out the box. taken the Acoustic Value off, getting some fat piping today. and i also getting the brakes done (discs lines fluid etc etc.) ok so, i know that when it comes to Mods if you don't have a set plan, and you just fiddle, thats when...

Hi all I have only had the Trophy a few weeks (1500 miles) but the PE2's on the front are in need of a change. I have tryed quite a few tyres in the past on my Ph1 172 but have never tryed R888's... so I thought I'd get a set and see how they do on a day to day basis through the summer. I have...

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...

Wow just been to Renault to find out the cost of cam belt change with the service. Any one guess how much????. #-o £1200.00 i thought my V6 clio cam belt was pricey!!!!

Just got two new PE2s on 415 and I am little confused as to the best pressures to be running them at for normal road use. The handbook says 33 psi for the fronts and 30 for the rears, yet the mechanic at renKnow who fitted them yesterday suggested 30 psi for the fronts and 28 for the rears (I...

Hi there, first post on here and hope you can help. Ive got a 2003 Clio Sport and have owned it for 10 months now. Its a stab in the dark really as im not sure how best to describe this, but when I turn the car left it feels like the back end flips out and the car seems to be really unstable...

What tyre pressures are you guys currently running?

Advice Please!! Just had my car MOT'd today and the guy at the garage mentioned that he felt the front end a bit bouncy on the roads he took the car for a quick drive on. I said that I had noticed this recently too and asked him if he thought that there was a fault with the dampers, to which he...

I've been to the Nurburgring before with my standard tyres, but was wondering what people think is the best tyre for the job. I'm toying with the idea of a second set of wheels anyway with r888's or khumo's, but I don't know how well they would heat up at the ring. Would anyone bother...
