rpm

Recently bought myself number 150 after many months of looking. I've only ever owned Clios in my life and I'm still not fed up of them yet. especially as the trophy is possibly the best hot hatch ever made. This one had 1 previous owner - a member of Mcbusted... but never mind that because my...

Driving the T the other morning to work, my brakes failed and my engine started idling at 2000RPM! Turned out my exhaust manifold had managed to melt through the brake servo hose :eek:. Just when I thought my day couldn't get any worse, on the way home stopping using just my handbrake my...

Hi all, I think my alternator is on the way out... I have a strange whining noise at around 2K RPM and when I stopped and popped the bonnet I found that my alternator was very hot! To hot to touch, is this normal? Secondly, should there be a cover/guard at the front of the alternator to stop...

Just been to Mark Fish to investigate a noise i had on the car. Turns out it was worn diff bearings. Cue engine and gearbox out, suspension off exhaust off. rebuild diff and gearbox. new clutch, new belts and pulleys etc. im gonna be brassic this month. any spare change?

Good Afternoon All Well 161 is now at its new home in County Durham, having driven her for a hundred miles or so and having had time to poke about like only you can having bought a car, I have a number of questions to ask... Any help appreciated. 1 clutch is quite heavy, not so much a...

Hi I need to put on a new centre section exhaust and looks like I will therefore need to replace the whole thing from the cat back. I'm more concerned about weight saving and any potential gains in torque and power, but I need it to not be boomy on the motorway at 3-4000rpm or anywhere really...

As title looking for a trophy:) must be hpi clear and a low mileage example would be preferable

I have a clio 2002 16 v 1,4 Since yesterday the engine works bad, seems like misfire, maybe a sensor or something that cause to not work 4 cylinders. with 800 rpm it has a small vibration and with 2-3000 rpm it has a bad noise and doest has power any idea ??!!

Hi all, I'm currently putting together another group buy for the Scorpion RS192 exhaust for Clio 182's / Trophy. We need 10 people in total and currently have 7. Group by discount prices currently stand at; Full System inc decat £375 including postage and packaging (£34.90 saving) Cat Back...

Hi, I have been quoted £580 for all of the the above supplied and fitted. Does that sojnd about right and is there anything else needing done at the sametime? jsthomson

Well first of all my reason for sale is an Integra Type R has come up in Aberdeen well priced and in my favourite colour, i have always wanted one so this is why i'm listing this cracking hot hatch! The car has full service history, including receipts of a timing belt change on 31.8.10...

My temperature gauge seems to be playing up... I've owned the car for 3 weeks and the temp gauge never reaches halfway (as I have read it should once warm). It seems to fluctuate just below halfway and 1/4. Also the rev limiter is kicking in at 6800rpm rather than 7200rpm. My plan is to...

Hi, I'm sure this has been asked many a time but I just want to be sure (: my trophy has started ticking when it's up to temperature and idling. The ticking increases with the revs, up to about 2000rpm then goes away. Is this the dephaser pulley on its way out? Anyone else experienced this? I'm...

Hi all, Took my car for a power run today to see where the clio was at. I know you need to take the results with a pinch of salt but would appreciate anybodys view on whether or not the car is there or there abouts where it should be given its age and milage. Right the car has done 81000...

Hi guys,I know you guys will be biased but why should I pay the extra for a Trophy over a 182FF?I know it's got the sachs but is the cornering ability that much better?Let me know your thoughts and why you went for a Trophy.Cheers.

Hi guys, since picking up #151 I've not had much chance to put any miles on her as I've been out of town with work. I have had both the timing belt and aux belts changed out and it's driving really well. I put about 150 miles into the car (mostly motorway) and I'm really happy with the drive...

I don't know if anyone has seen this yet but there is a new exhaust from BTM (formerly Yozzasport). Here is their advert from Cliosport :- http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?661836-NEW-182-Exhaust&highlight=btm+exhaust No more crap Renault exhaust hangers! Unfortunatley the...

Hi Guys, Just wondering if anyone knows anything about the problems I'm having with my T atm Filled up full yesterday and drove 110 miles motorway no stopping and a constant 56mph the whole way and some how managed to get through half a tank ! Also it feels to be lacking power and engine...

Hi everyone, I am new to Trophy forum. I recently purchased number 229 and there is a loud vibration which occurs specifically between about 4800 and 5300 rpm which really ruins the driving experience. Does anyone have any ideas what this might be? My only thought is maybe the exhaust fouling...

I have only owned #372 for a few weeks now,loving it! The revs at idle are quite irregular,they aren't climbing,just sort of popping up and down. It's probably nothing,but was just wondering wether this is normal or it may be due to the cat being removed? Should it really be remapped if...

93000 Looks to have full history Overall good condition. Alcantara door cards And xenons. ?

Hi Guys, My Trophy is not well. Had it since new with all required servicing and I was just arranging its 72k service when I noticed a new clicking sound coming from the engine. It is most obvious at more than 2500rpm, but can also be heard at idle. It changes (speeds up) based upon engine...

Im pretty new to all this clio stuff so please bear with me as im a bit thick when it comes to cars. I went to a ford rolling road day to help a good mate make up the numbers and my trophy ran 196BHP. Its a 55 plate and as i understood it completely standard. The place i went too were full of...

Hi, wondering if anyone can give me a definate answer to this please; Engine OFF - Battery at 12.5v Battery is fine. Engine ON - Battery at 14.4v Alternator fine. Electrics on (lights etc) or cold start - Revs drop and stalls, or drops to 300rpm lights dimm and battery crashes to 11v but if I...

does anyone have any more news on the JMS RS2, i have one fitted, are people still having problems mine's only putting out 180bhp instead off the 190ish promised, spoke to an rs tuner and he said he could have got 180 with a remap which is exactly what he did with his brothers car and it was...

As many of you may be aware and if so now probably becoming quite bored with my posts on my T lacking in power I'm sorry however I may have just found it !! Well keeping it short here it is ... With the trophy parked (in neutral) idle is very lumpy but this is normal for the 182's, when I...

The standard air box seems to have two inlets for air. One with a cold air feed pipe that disappears somewhere underneath the nearside headlamp and another inlet without any cold air feed. Is this right ? Still having trouble with my T :(

I know every track setup is different, but I thought it would be interesting to hear what readings people have got from noise tests at the track. My silenced Orbisoud with it's sports cat was 92db @ Bedford with 4/4.5k revs I think.

Just noticed fastchip offer a Decat overrun calibration for 29euros. Just wondering if anyone has any info on it, will it have any performance increases over the standard 98ron cal upgrade they offer for 10euros? Or is it just a bit pointless?

Firstly, thanks to James & Tom at JMS, despite having to be on the Eurotunnel at 6am this morning, James was bleeding my brakes at midnight last night - mostly thanks to another of our friends bringing in a last minute brake related emergency/c0ck up i might add ... IR tired. So, the work done...
