OK a quick question for you phone geeks(no offence :) ) out there; Blackberry Storm or I-phone?

Full stainless exhaust, including 200 cell sports cat. Originally a mega expensive system hand built by by Orbisoud who make clio cup race exhausts. Not only does it improve the breathing of the engine, it sounds fantastic and and saves approximately 12kgs over the standard system. Would have...

Hi all I'm hoping to make my Trophy a bit more track focused for next year. How far have people taken the stripping of there cars and what sort of results have they got? Oh and any ideas and advice with track mods would be appreciated. Thanks in advance , Matt. :D

Yesterday I did my first sprint on a proper race circuit - Castle Combe, quite an experience, so very different from the hills - the circuit was so wide that I almost did not know where to go and of course was driving at much higher speeds - 100 plus. Still getting some confidence in the DC5...

think im gunna get my car dyno tested next month, but wanna know what trophies out there have had it done and what bhp and torques figures you have. would be intersting to see this with some cars standard and some modded and compare them

Does anyone know the db rating of a yozzasport de-cat exhaust system? of know how I can find this out? Just slightly worried it wont meet the 98db rating on 'Croft' which is the nearest circuit where I live. I wanna buy the system but not if I wont be allowed on track. ! Cheers.

Bit of a weird one, but thought it might be interesting to find out what everyone on here does for a living! I work for a Pharmaceutical Company....... (No its not another name for a drug dealer :lol: )

its been just over 3 years since the trophy arrived on the roads and im curious to know how many left are still on the roads today. ive seen a couple on the site that have been scrapped and i know some have been modified for the race tracks and teams etc but dont know how many are left just...

I'm thinking of upgrading my Cams. I've been looking at the K-Tec performance Cams and the Schrick Billet Camshafts off Yozzasport. Has anyone got these and can you tell me why the Shrick cams are £200 more expensive? They both claim to retain good idle etc. but do you know of any issues...

As you probably have seen in a couple of other posts in this section, Jonny and I took our Trophys out for a drive with friends from the Rebel Motorsport Club last weekend (well, my Good Lady did the driving whilst I took the photos!) I've finally got the majority of the Trophy pics together and...

Hey guys, When I bought my Trophy a year ago the first thing I did was upgrade the brakes (to the little known CRN grooved discs and EBC RedStuff pads). I have to be honest they are actually very, very good (and I got them cheaper as they were part of a group buy in which my Good Lady also...

I've seen a few different types on k-tec's site but was wondering if anyone could recommend a good replacement for the standard Trophy exhaust. Cheers

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...

Hi guys, I'm new to the forum :D apologies if I'm posting this in the wrong section... I'm on the lookout for a Trophy, and I am presently at the "scouring the classifieds" stage :lol: any advice on the best places to look ? I spotted this one on pistonheads, but after a quick search, I...

Had the MOT done yesterday and when I picked it up the exhaust gas monitor light was on (engine shape symbol on the vertical right hand side). What may have caused this, will it go out and can I blame it on the garage or just one of those things that happen during MOT's? Renauly want £50 to...

Hello all, I am posting on here due to a serious problem I am having at the moment with Renault regarding the suspension on my Trophy. The front right damper has cracked causing it to leak and it therefore needs replacing. Unfortunately, both my dealership and Renault Customer Services have...

I've finally decided to upgrade my brakes, but I want to do it in stages (it's a lot of money to spend in one go). I've decided on Pagid Blue Pads, Brembo Max Discs and braided hoses (does the brand matter here? if so can someone advise me). My question is, will it be ok to upgrade the pads...

What an earth were they thinking it's stone age in comparison to Silverstone, great circuit but the facilities are pretty dire, i actually think it's a ploy to pull the plug on the British GP full stop. What do you guys think

Hi Guys Going to the ring tmor morning, setting off at 6:30 wahooo Was wondering if anyone can offer me any tips. Taking the trophy hoping to do 3 or 4 laps .... What settings do you guys run on your dampers ? im currently at 30 clicks which seems a good medium. Cheers Sam

How come the clio cup race cars have the filter bolted straight onto the inlet manifold? Ive seen 4 now and all have this set up. Doesnt this cause heat soak? Has anyone tried this on their Trophy, with what results? Cheers Scott

For Sale: Used Decat pipe back sports exhaust system, of unknown origin, for a Clio 182. Includes decat pipe shown. Sounded good on the car it came off and certainly added a bit more ooomph. Although I have no idea what else had been done! Includes a longer pipe currently stored at the garage...

Done a search and I think I may be the first one to report on this! My Trophy has developed a loud creaking from the rear of the car over the past couple of months, I thought it could have been the interior trim in the boot, or the boot lock and rubber stops, but i've tried replicating the...

Just had the 24,000 mile service carried out at Mark Fish, but with only 22k on the clock and he's found that the n/s lower ball joint is shot! Mark thinks it should be covered by the warranty but the by the reaction i received when booking the car in at Renault i'm not so sure they share his...
