March April 2012 issue of Performance French Cars Magazine out in WhSmiths etc on 09/02/2012. This issue is JAMMED with 6 feature cars - awesome!! Still only £19.99 to subscribe...

So within the next few weeks the Trophy will have reached the point where it needs 4 new tyres, after trawling through a few of the posts on here i can't seem to get anywhere... Has anyone had experience with running other brands of tyre on their Trophy? if so any recommendations? If not and i...

Does anyone have any contacts at Michelin? Preferably in product development, manufacturing or supply chain. Customer services or marketing better avoided. Looking at Michelin's current UK range the Pilot Exalto PE2 (for the Sports and Roadster segment so they say) is still available in...

Hi all, just to introduce myself, I have just bought 449 and loving it already! I signed up to get more info before buying, the forum is great to find out about the potential issues and fixes. The Clio is a 2nd car for fun, there are a few minor jobs to do, four new PS3s are going on...

Selling on behalf of the mrs - (ad taken from Clio Sport) Reluctantly selling my 200 after much deliberation, due to needing some extra cash. Got the car from my local Renault dealer Dec 2010, purchased brand new to my specification. The car has been well looked after, It has been washed at...

I apologise if these have been asked, I tried to do a search my my internet is really really lagging today. My car has started the dreading ticking from the cat to exhaust joint, only very slight but I know its there so its getting sorted, so I'm going to order the bolts, springs and gasket...

Had a puncture on the motorway, stopped as quick as I'd noticed but not quick enough :( Luckily my car had a spare wheel and tyre in the boot, but as the exalto is no longer available I'm totally stuck with what to buy now. I think the it is going to be the new Michelin but not convinced...

Spent yesterday on a one-way road, without speed limits in my Trophy (& a pal's 182) yesterday - given it's age & mileage it entertained immensely - just grips, turns in, then revs like there's no tomorrow! Picked up a stone chip which cracked my six week old windscreen, but that aside the day...

Likle they say. . . . . . Dont see one for ages then two come along at once. Although they were a good 80 miles apart. 1. Coming along the A14 Eastbound towards the Brampton Hut roundabout around 7.45am 2. In or near Shirley with the big Tesco on the roundabout, saw you heading along past the...

Well after being up at my local renault today i was speaking to the warrenty advisor and i asked about my melted steering wheel, He says he has only ever changed one and that was last week on a 197 and funnily enough that was my brothers car. He said my best bet was to call Renault UK and i did...

The trophy is in need of new brake very soon. Going to need disc and pads all round. Got standard on the rear and brembo drilled and grooved discs on the front at the mo. Whats the best to put on? Dont what to be spending a fortune but want something thats going to work well.

Watching this just makes me cringe, the shot through into the mint engine bay that pans out to a smashed exterior is pretty gratuitous. http://youtu.be/wN0J0e6iZpg

So its been a while since I’ve posted anything, and seeing as me and a mate of mine had enough energy to clean our cars yesterday I thought I’d do a little update with some pictures of the recent additions to #333. Although I won’t bore you with millions of pictures of my Trophy all clean, as...

I've just done this very thing. Picked up one two weeks ago. Got it booked in for a service next weekend, where I'm chucking on new OEM dicsc, Fedoro FS2500 pads, gulf racing brake fluid and braided hoses. Also changing the engine oil to Gulf competition, new air filter, gearbox oil, engine...

There are quite a few driving-related things which annoy me so I thought I'd post one each month until I run out - call it therapy if you like. Maybe everyone will agree with me, more than likely they won't, and maybe this will spark a bit of a debate/controversy. Whatever the outcome post your...

I hope my boss isn't a visitor to this site because today I was working from "home"... Home was in fact ProSpeed in Cardiff. Turned up first thing this morning for a cat-back 2.5in system with 2.5in cat mod and slash-cut 3.5in exits. Charlie and the guys did a great job, I was on the road by...

hey there everyone , just got my first RSC 51 Reg 172 64k with service history for the bank breaking sum of 550quid please no stick for the gold wheels , part of the cheap price was he kept the speedline cup wheels that were on it - and at 120 for the 4 with falken zexs on them i couldnt say...

The MF springs are a bespoke spec which Mark Fish does for the Trophy! This setup is great and it's the one mod that I will miss the most. I already wish I still had it on the car. It's a significant improvement over the standard setup. Car feels much more direct and darty with the stiffer rear...

all, i am new to the trophy world, from previously having a 320bhp scooby this is a bit of a different story. with regards to modifications what would you all suggest i've had a browse at pictures of mods in this forum, so the usual:- Exhaust- where do i go? decat - yes or no? panel...

Anyone going to swap their tyres next month? I'm tempted for peice of mind although i didnt have too much bother last winter. Do normal clio steelys fit the T btw?

I'm going to be selling the 540Ci and getting a small - swb landy or rav4 size 4wd car for the winter. looking at around £4k outlay Just wondering what everyone's opinions are as to which one to get. I've scoured the markets and shortened the selection to; Scubby outback Rav4 Merc ML any...

Performance French Cars Nov 2011 issue is rammed to the brim and the new look magazine is selling extremely well. This is the final issue of the year but we have loads of plans, shoots, meets and technical experts lined up for 2012. To subscribe it’s still only £2.33 an issue so that’s only...

Just sold my Trophy, very sad day :( My Yozzasport exhaust system and de-cat pipe which were on my car for about 10 months are now for sale. The exhaust was £395 and the De-cat was £100. It is in great condition as you would expect being 100% stainless steel, few road grime marks only on...

right, my beef is basically, why are these cars just not worth that much money anymore? for a car as amazing as this to drop from £15,00 in 5 years is pretty shocking, i think asking for £4000, £5000, or even £6000 when selling yours is rediculous. these cars are classic and a piece of history...

6ish this morning,turning right at the lights on the bypass heading towards town. Still miss 196 :(

Just followed you down Upper Hale Road. Are you local? I quite often run around that route but never seen a T drive past me. Hello again if your on here.

I've decided to just sell the car after all the sh1t I've been through with that Tom. He's made me so Sick of it all that I just don't want the dam car any longer which I've babied for almost six years. It currently has the POS RS2 manifold fitted and would need to be removed as it's not working...
