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...

Just got my Trophy back after a whole heap of maintenance work and I have to say Wow! I can't believe how much the car is transformed! She went in for a service, new discs and pads, refurbed front shocks from Cornering Force, new front springs and new front top mounts. I had the rear shocks...

After killing another pair of tyres on the Turini's I decided to be a cheap skate and downsize to 15's to save myself a few quid in the long run. Don't panic the Turini's aren't going anywhere. Anyway what's everyones thoughts on the new rolling stock?

I'm thinkng of changing my 16" trophy turinis for road and hopefully future track use, i just wanted to ask is there a noticable difference in handling acceleration etc going to some 15" td pro race 3's? I'm off to collect a set tomorrow!

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...

Went for a 100+ mile drive last night up the A84 from Stirling to Lochearnhead, then along the side of the Loch to St Fillans before cutting across the tops to Braco and back down the A9. For those who don't know, these roads up through the Trosachs National Park are some of the best in the...

Firstly, apologies if this is covered in a thread I haven't found - I have searched the damper threads but couldn't locate the answer to this specific question. Basically, has anyone had their Sachs dampers unpinned and compared the car's ride on the softest setting against the hardest? If so...

Hi guys, title says it all. It's only a thought in the pipeline as I've just stumbled on what looks like a bargain at snetterton, £49 for the day, 15 may. Thing is, my car is absolutely standard, and I don't plan on modding, but I just want to see what the trophy can do in a safe environment. I...

So I've been doing a few more miles in the T recently and this morning after being on the receiving end of some serious road rage AGAIN and tbh not being your stereotypical boyracer hoonhoodlum I'm beginning to wonder if it's the car that attracts a little bit of extra unwanted attention or is...

Hi, my trophy is away to get a major service. So was it the best brake fluid, coolant and gearbox oil to use? I already have the Titan race engine oil so I have that covered. thanks.

Hi guys. my n/s/r shocker has failed and lost all its fluid. would you recommend a refurb or replacement?? i recently called Renault to get one but they don't seem to be able to price me up the correct Sachs damper. the car is really bad to drive at the moment. thanks for looking

as above anybody tryed cooksport springs on a trophy? are they not as good as sportlines?

I know this is a much discussed thread and I’ve trawled through the searches, but anyway I’m still undecided... My front pads are nearing the time to be replaced at the moment I've got the Standard Renault discs and pads. I’ve bought myself the Brembo HC Disks but I’m undecided which pad to...

Hi guys , I had thought that I would go for the Nitron Damper setup that K-Tec are developing for the Trophy but have read great things about AST. And I just wondered if anyone on here has them fitted and what they think ? Cheers Neil

My Brembo's and DS2500's were old and tired and I my driving means i don't need uprated items, so i went for Mintex front discs and pads, Genuine renault rear discs and Mintex pads. When i fitted the pads into the front caliper i noticed the pads were a mil too small to fit snug in the gap. Sure...

Well as some of you will know I have just got my new trophy last week (no 451) and thought I would take it to Cit-Ren in Norwich for a checkover and to get some little jobs doing , door switch failed etc etc. Well I got a nasty surprise , the former keeper has replaced the front Sachs dampers...

Right ive decided to sell my Trophy and want a R27. Full history and will have 12 months mot Good bits: In January i decided that the dampers could do with a refurb, but i got a good deal on a brand new set from West Renault. So now having new dampers i decided to get new springs and rear...

Came with my new track car but i always use the same wheel on all my track/race cars so this is of no use to me. As brand new, only a few weeks old, £156 from demon tweeks. Its a Model 08 Momo wheel, black suede with black anodized spokes, 350mm diameter and is a dished wheel as you can see from...

Driving out of town on Saturday towards the racecourse around 18:30ish

Hi, I am doing my first track day oct 14th at angelsey (anyone coming?) I plan on changing my brake fluid and wondered what people used and recommend?! Also,would braded lines be a worthy upgrade or are they already braded on the Trophy? I have red stuff pads at present and grooved discs that...

just dug out a couple of the old williams es wheels/tyres. tyres are pe2s, and shot tbh. but the ride is sooo much nicer over the bumpy b roads round here. only put the fronts on at the mo just for a trial run. but i think rather than getting new tyres for the original rims, il be getting...

Hi all was wondering if anyone out there has an aftermarket exhaust for sale. My standard one rotted through so thought it would be time for another. Cheers Rich
