Sadly a change in work circumstances saw me part with the S2000 after a brief ownership... doubling the amount of miles I do and getting an offer too good to refuse on the Honda (selling for a good profit having done 5k miles :D ) has seen me pick up this : Full John Cooper Works Body...

My first post! And its a good one because last night i picked up my new Trophy :D I am now the happiest person in the world as i have wanted one for a long time, I couldnt stop giggling to myself on the drive home, and I even got up at about 6 this morning to give the front a quick clean to...

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...

Hi folks, Can anybody shed any light on this please because renault dont seem to be able to. 9/10 when i get on the motorway the SERV and ESP light come on at the same time. Never when on A or B roads just the motorway. Anybody had this problem and how did you get it sorted.

Hi, I think you have not appreciate the last mods of my trophy with the stickers (no post reply). I hope this mods will recive some opinion ;) I have painted my break calipers, 1 hand white, application of trophy decal, 2 hand red, trophy decal removed, the result is not bad I think. I have...

Howdy folks, After having been an avid owner and fan of the Trophy for well over a year now i am ashamed to say i havent been on here much apart from when fault-finding!! Seems to be a great bunch on here though so thought i'd start chatting!! However, my first post in a while is a gripe. Now...

I cooked my brakes last time I was on track. When driving home I noticed that when stationary i could put my foot to the floor quite easily, I don't remember being able to get the brake pedal to the floor. Anyway after new brake fluid and new pads (Running BremboHC discs, DS2500 pads and braided...

My Trophy has had new discs and pads fitted at around xmas time (before I bought it) and I took the trophy out yesterday to show a couple of mates. I must have driven about 10 miles on some country roads, fairly spirited but nothing insane with some mild braking. Next thing I know someones...

do i??

Sorry for yet another mpg thread, but i find it quite an interesting subject! I filled up after work on thursday(shell 95 as was only option), drove home, average was 46mpg by the time i'd got back. Still hovering around 43mpg after work the next day. Drove up to central london at 8pm, still at...

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...

i went down to my local tesco today and saw a lovely s2 lotus exige in black. ive never seen one up close and can say it looks amazing. how much of a gap is is to a trophy? is it best for this sort of car be in a garage as i do not have one and that it would be parked outside on a main road...

Sadly its time to say goodbye to my beloved trophy after nearly 4 years. 42000 amazing miles have been completed since new, with half of these done while serving over in Germany so its been over some pretty smooth roads. The car has full Renault service history and the only mod ive made is to...

A couple of sundays back Steve was kind enough to take me out for a run in his cup and show me why he decided to change from the trophy.. and then passed over to me for some fun down the the rs clios favourite territory the bumpy back roads/lanes, and now the chassis and the size over the trophy...

Who has done it then? Anyone have any pics if so? I am going to North Wales for Anglesey this weekend and am taking a slight detour for a couple of hours on and around the Triangle. Seems a perfect detour to me. Did you enjoy it?

what exactly is "corkscrewing" as mentioned by Harry T in this months Evo....?

Was driving on an A road at speed and needed to slow down, however, the car did not slow down as it should and literally had to press the pedal till it would go no further. The car eventually slowed to a stop right up behind the car in front waiting at the round about. He must have thought I...

ive been reading the news and found out that the goverment has gone ahead with the car scrappage sceme, this will enable motorists with there car 10 years or older to trade it in and get 2k off a brand new set of wheels. i fear that some williams owners might go ahead with it and trade in...

Another great meet. Not as much convoy driving as the previous few outings but a good opportunity to chat and also to get some passenger rides! (Big thanks to Dallas for negotiating the tight gaps, 4 up in the blue barge! Also to Jules and Luke for back to back Orb race/soft comparisons!). Here...

spotted you today at ten to five at lights next to broomside park, i was in a works car.

=D> ....i think people are finally starting to realise trophy's are amazing cars and people can't keep selling them for peanuts!!...mine was £9k last september there is no way on earth i would let it go for under £7k especially as it took me over 8 months to source such a minter (093)

Hi everyone, I'm a 23yr old Belgian guy, I've always adored the Trophy since I first read about it in Evo. Some things kept me from buying though, as a student my budget is quite limited (low GBP came to the rescue), the fact that it'll be RHD (prepared to live with that) but most of all... I'm...

Just come back from a cracking weekend on the Isle of Man so much so we will go back again soon. So if you ever get the chance go :D We were very lucky with the weather sunshine all weekend. The 1st time we crossed the mountian section it was foggy but soon cleared up later in the day when we...

Me and 'Tonyment' met up with a few guys from Cliosport for a drive out round Lancashire. It was organized by Matt over on Cliosport. He owns the LY V6 which I really enjoyed chasing through the back roads. :D Kept up no problem :wink: , although there was a scairy moment at one point where...

Been reading the post between everybody on seting the dampers, thinking about it my self now. Will there be any long term effect on them having them stiffer, you know how rubbish the roads are in the uk. And how about the tyres, would there be more where on them.

I recently saw a few people on here saying that, now the weather is warmer, they have adjusted their dampers to a stiffer setting. I was puzzled by this. Well, maybe sceptical is the word. I could see that it would improve the T's handling, but I thought that it would feel harsh and be a...

Greetings! I have found a Trophy for sale for £7485 with 48,911 miles on the clock. In your opinions what should I be paying for it and is that mileage too high? Also, should I expect the belts to be changed already? Cheers.

Has anyone here fitted an LSD to their Trophy? Any idea as to what options are available in terms of LSD's for the 182/Trophy? Many thanks :D
