rolling

I have been told by a pal to drop my pressures to 20psi all round, will this improove traction, im running crappy tyre and are not bothered by wear rates.......is this reccomened??

I am considering a track day but really think it would be more economical in the long run to buy a set of dedicated track rims/tyres. Does anyone know if there is a set going cheaply anywhere? Also do I have to stick with the same dimensions as the current rim? If I change slightly I am...

I'm getting bored of constantly changing my selection of CD's in the car and want to use my mp3 player. Does the stereo in the Trophy have an Aux-In so that I can plug the mp3 player in? I'm not fussed about controlling the player through the head unit or anything like that - i'd just be...

What do you guys think the value would be for the following spec on a private sale: March 2004 53 plate 172 cup with 20k mileage, modified to 200bhp atf on rolling-road, £14k bought new? I'm thinking of buying one from a mate pretty soon, he's asked around the £10k mark. Opinions...

Finally got the chance to put the car on the rollers to see what it was pushing out. Very happy with the results. 180.4bhp at the Fly with aa correcting figure of 184Bhp not that makes much of a difference. Will get the graph up so you lot can see the results. One thing i have...

Just seen your clio on cliosport.net and was quite impressed with the engine spec. What performance figures are you getting with 225bhp i.e 0-60 and top speed and do you think increasing capacity to 2500cc would be feasible and worthwhile? I ask coz I might be buying my mate's modified 182 which...

Another tech question poeple. I have a cat back system and a viper on my cup. Will it run lean on the rolling road day tomrrow? Im a bit worried!! :( Thanks iain

I quite fancy a replacement Cat Back system, I think the trophy could have a far nicer bark to it then the standard exhaust, it sounds way too 'mechanical' at the moment. I've been looking around and it seems a lot of people recommend ProSpeed. I saw GaryG's 182 at the Bedford trackday and it...

hi guys, thinking of superchipping my trophy, would appreciate your opinions/ experiences and advice cheers craig

i gather someone wants to have a race ./duel / comparison im up for a race on a track ,never done it before but after 6000 miles of driving my car i feel i can take up the challenge now that i understand the car and its limits. where and when ? preferably up north- my car prefers the cleaner...

Nik, do you have the Group'N' ecu fitted to your Trophy yet? What's the verdict? Which one did you go for – STD or for use with CAI? 7MAT

On the way home this evening I had a WRX (MY01) try to overtake me (not on a motorway). Through the bends he had no chance... and at the lights he wound down his window to tell me how shocked he was!! "Do you have a two litre in that thing?? Damn those Clio's are really quick aren't...

I've been offered a group buy deal by YozzaSport on 182 Cat replacement pipes. This replaces the Catalytic convertor. And comes with a lifetime guarantee. Normal sale price is £140 (£125 + £15 del.) If 5 people are interested then they can be purchased for £115 each...

:twisted: After having my trophy for only a week i feel a letter of complaint coming on!! not to the dealership but to renault themselves Another member off here told me of a few things to check on the car before i paid for it, well the front splitter was missin so had to rebook it in to...

Hey fellas! Just bought No. 323 off Eugene. It's got a few more miles on it than i would've liked but I needed a car for work next week so I had to get a move on. My last car was a Subaru 03 WRX PPP. It was a company car and I've just changed jobs so had to give it back. I had it from new...

With so many of us likely to buy Michelin Exalto 2 tyres as replacements for the ones already on our Trophy's, I thought it may be useful to start a thread with location/prices for the aid of all of us. So as the first entry I have found Exalto 2s at: Place: www.mytyres.co.uk Price...

I was just wondering what performance exhausts you guy have and which you recomend for your TROPHYS :D :D

....does it take to change a light bulb? 4 1 to change the bulb, and 3 to remind you their bulb finished 1st in bulb of the year

Just wanted to know how good the handling is? Does it have similar dampers to the Trophy gas/oil or is it just gas but not remote ones as on the spec it says: Suspension: Front Macpherson struts, Sachs dampers Rear Control Blade multi-link, Sachs dampers. Has multi-link rear suspension...

Just had time to grab a few clips from the video I took at Donington on Sunday. http://crowspeed.net/videos/donington091005/donington3.wmv (32mb) http://crowspeed.net/videos/donington091005/donington4.wmv (43mb) Second clip has some crap on the camera to begin with but it clears up...

Right you lot, we seem to have a decent number of Trophy owners on the Forum now, and it has been decided that maybe it is time to sort out a big meet to get as many Trophys together in one place. I am looking to get some ideas at the moment, and would love to hear some of your ideas. My...

Has anyone managed to source any more info on the exact setup of the trophy? Spring rates/actual curbweight? etc etc Im thinking a trip to a weighbridge would be prudent.
