Hi guys I'm back in a Renault now not a trophy but a LY 182. Can you still buy orbisound exhausts and if so where from? The other question is are they worth it over a miltek? Thanks

Trying to track down the cause, hoping someone else can offer a potential cause. For the last year I would say my T has handled slightly off. The positive feel to the steering has gone and I want to try and get this back. So far I have had the following done on the car: - Lower suspension...

Guys, your thoughts on the below please.. My T was serviced a number of months ago and has since covered approximately 1100 miles. Today it went for its MOT and failed on a ball joint. So my questions are... - Would you have expected a significant failure to occur within the space of a number...

Evening Guys, After picking up the Trophy from Sir_Dave about a week or so ago I decided, since we finally had some ok-ish weather yesterday, to give it a clean and take some photo's. I'm so impressed with this car, it really is fanstatic. Awesome step up from the Fiesta ZS I had...

Hi all, I'm new to the forum and as yet, haven't even got myself an RS Clio . However, that is hopefully about to change in the next week or so and I'm looking to buy a Trophy. Other than the reading I've done on the net and the usual Clio buyers guides that I've found, I can't seem to locate...

passanger side skirt stolen last night looking for a new one could any1 help? , ive seen the site with the decals on just need the skirt :evil: Thanx Chris

Right I will get straight to the point as I have a list; I have owned my Trophy for now 2 months and when purchased I had timing belts done and an oil and filter change done. This weekend however I was doing a gearbox change and checked the oil now the dipstick read ½ litre low and when I...

Bit of a random one this, but I'm curious to know how many people on here acknowledge other ClioSport owners when they see them on the road. I only rarely see other hot Clios round my way, but when I do I tend to give a friendly flash or a wave - normally I get one back, but not always...

4 x Toyo R-1R's 195/50/15 taken off of my own car 2 are in excellent condition with plenty of life left and the other 2 have more than enough life for a few trackdays but are not road legal. These are the Toyo imtermediate trackday tyres and would be prefect for using on a wet or damp trackday...

I didn't see who it was or which number it was because I wasn't there. But my mate took this photo Its quite amazing, I don't think I had seen a Trophy ever, I buy one and all of a sudden there's one parked behind mine outside my house! :roll:

Right ho, Currently in a bit of a weird place re: the suspension on my Trophy. Front dampers have been refurbed, & the rears are also only 18 months old, so its a great setup, with plenty of life left in it ... However, on track, its not quite low/stiff/adjustable enough, so my plan is/was to...

sorry cant post this vid but just watched a mad ken block video, he was in a fiesta but what a driver. Could he do better in a t !? simon.

Hi guys, my Trophy currently has uprated Brembo brakes/pads and full stainless steel exhaust system. I have a few hundred pound to spend on the car and as it is due it's MOT in October I was considering getting remap done at the same time. I have spoken to a guy called Paul whom I believe...

Some in-car video of my road rally 172 Sport at Tregrehan last weekend. Only a short hill, but narrow and quite technical. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KYzwvDE73ds

Hi lads. Want to get my Trophy remaped now and was just after some guidance on where the best place is to take it. I live in the west middlands near wolverhampton and birmingham, dont really want to travel 100's of miles unless its unavoidable. If anyone has any experiance or info on some...

Hi everyone.. does anybody know if http://www.rs192.co.uk get back to you after you have ordered from them? Ordered the cat back exhaust system yesterday, payment has gone through, recieved a receipt of paypal but nothing from the website confirming the order at all!?!? just a bit concerned...

Basically what i was wondering is how many people use their Trophy for what it was primarily designed for?, and im not necessarily talking about track days but also just goin out for a pointless drive or a bit of a blast on your favourite stretch of road. As daft as it sounds i sometimes feel a...

Spotted this evening - Just at the top of thornton road traffic lights coming down from Queensbury turning left ... Nice - Had a Type R civic behind it - new shape ... also in red I know which one I would prefer also had an EVO sticker in the back.

Southbound, 55 plate, nice and clean. =D>

Only purchased last week. Was going to fit them at the time my dampers were off for the refurb but had to get the car back on the road quicker then planned meaning I decided not to fit these. As the photo shows, slight mark to the top of one of the mounts but it's only light. That was from a...

Exhaust manifold heat reduction options - Exhaust insulant wrap - ceramic paint coating has anyone got one of these options? or both!? The idea is that the heat from the exhaust manifold increases performance though various pathways which i wont explain now decreases. by insuring the...

Hello All, Its been a while since I have posted. Im looking to get back into a Trophy hence the sale of my Golf which was bought for track day fun and commuting. Its a very very clean 1987 8v Golf GTI so pre elec windows, central locking, power steering so very light. I have modded it and...

Well after a day with a MR2 forum group at Trouqe of the devil it would appear I've come up alittle shy :( Never mind I had a feeling 182 was going to be abit illusive. Just for comparison has anyone else been dynoed recently and feel like sharing?

T200PHY Private plate for the trophy. £350 posted. On retension till jan 2011 all fees paid ready to transfer.

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????

Spotted a fellow Trophy owner at Mallory on Sat, unfortunatley it was while I was trying to repair a snapped coolant hose so I didn't get a chance to pop over for a chat. Anyone? Steve
