    Decision Time........

    After my recent trip to the Ring in my Trophy I felt the car was lacking outright power which is no surprise as I used to track and ring an E39 M5. I bought the car with the intention of using it as a daily hack but a have really grown fond of it especially it's capability on track. I now need...

    serviced and dyno'd

    so i organised a rolling road day a couple of months back and my car came out at 165bhp i put it down to needing a service, so i rang renault and they said it wasnt due a service so that wont be the reason its down on power. took it to my mates garage for a service instead last week today...

    Matched inlet manifolds!

    I'm having my inlet manifold matched next week and just wanted to know if anyone else has had this done! Will i notice much difference from standard? As I'm getting it done at a reasonable price i thought it would silly to turn it down!

    Trophy wanted to swap with my RS Meg 175

    Hello all, I am looking to get rid of my RS Megane 175 dCi and get a Clio Trophy. Surely one of you is feeling like you need a bigger car with better economy whilst still having a Renaultsport. See my add on Pistonheads for details. http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/897219.htm Anyone?!

    Excess Vapour from exhaust....any ideas?

    Hey Gang, I've asked on CS & thought I'd ask on here for peace of mind tbh. Right the issue I have is my car has only covered just over 17,000 miles & all seems well, pulls as normal, idles the same as before, but I noticed as I pushed the car further up the rev range & as it came on cam there...

    SharkyUK's Trophy

    Well, seeing as the Trophy is very much a keeper I thought I'd start a pictures thread. That way I can keep them all together without starting different threads everytime I wanted to add new pics! :lol: Here are a few recent photos to get the ball rolling, click to enlarge...

    Had 427 on the rollers today!

    Myself and some friends ran a rolling road day for our club, 30 cars run in total! Mr T managed: 184.6bhp @ 6970rpm 148.9lb/ft @ 5790rpm For a completely standard engine i'm quite impressed, and it's on 50k now so well used, apparently the F4R makes more power with decent mileage on it! Goes...

    Cat-back & panel filter improvements?

    Hi everyone - I've been knocking around the idea of getting a Trophy for a while now, and I'm going to be buying one very soon now. Quick question: is it best to get a bog-stock example (what I've always done in the past) or does the Trophy respond well to a cat-back pipe and a panel filter...

    Roll Cages

    The ones that you have to weld plates in to bolt to. Is this a No-Go for the Trophy? Opinions Please.

    What would happen if....

    I left my car in the garage for say over a year. What would happen to the car if it wasn't driven. I might be moving abroad for work and can't bare to sell the Trophy. My brother said if you left it that long the wheels would deform and be useless - so best to put on axle stands. Apart from...

    Swapping wheels...

    I've been told that it's reasonable to swap the front set of wheels for the back set of wheels in the interest of 'cough' preserving consistent tyre wear. While I appreciate this is potentially a pikey way to go on tyres, it may make some sense as it means you can manage to have 4 newtyres...

    Dent removal!

    My trophy has several small dents along the centre crease on the bonnet. Having been to a few meets I know this is a common issue. (pushing on the bonnet to latch it!! ) :evil Was wondering if anyone has had this repaired or looked at. Am having my permagard topup in may so thought now...

    15's on a trophy....

    thinking about some track wheels and tyres and need a number of sizes etc to give to a friend so he can contact the companies required. If they are 15's then will they be 195/50 or can 205's fit? Is the offset ET45? What is the PCD? would all the info above be the same on a 172 Cup...
