Hi everyone, Yet another couple of questions...... The Trophy I bought last Saturday still has 2 months warranty remaining (the advance one), as it was bought by the last owner as a Renault used car only 10 months ago. I'm used to French cars having problems, but as I've still got this...

Hi all, I don't post much on here, but I thought there would be a higher number of Orbisoud exhaust owners here than on CS. I'm after a bit of feedback on the exhaust systems. I've had mine on the car for quite a few months and considering the price of the system I've got to admit I was...

Its my birthday next month and im treating myself to a new exhaust (any excuse) but I cant decide which one to go for, Yozzasport or RS192? Personally I love the sound of the Yozza but dont know whether ill be able to put up with the immense noise that it makes. Whichever one I buy will be a...

Hi all, Was at mcdonalds today in the drive thru and the management light came on in the dash and it started flashing, as soon as i turned the car off and then back on again it went away, This has hapened a few times but only when sitting idleing for some long periods, Is there a commen fault...

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...

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...

Hi everyone i am currently looking for a clio trophy. I previosly had a red :) 106 GTI and loved it, the handling and feel of the car was realy good. However i have been savng for a long time and thought i would treat myself to a type r or trophy, the type r wonthere was just something about it...

Someone posted the phase 1 workshop manual, had a bit of a google and found the newer one: http://www.renaultalpineownersclub.com/ ... /3676A.pdf Had a flick through and found the gear change indicator light that is a common topic on here, flashes 400rpm before 'maximum speed'

Just the other day i was driving down a 70mph road and the car infront of me was doing 40mph, i decided to overtake in 3rd gear, as i overtook a approached 70mph and there was a strange noise, it sounded like the front arch liner had peeled away and was rubbing on my wheel. I stopped the car and...

Hi, Just bought a Trophy and I have my 1st question. I've noticed that I get a funny tinkling/whistling noise coming from what sounds like the passenger footwell or under the gear stick when I rev the car from about 300rpm all the way to the red line, this happens in any gear! I'm not sure if...

Hi all, My first fault with number 019 and sods law its only 2 months out of warranty... D'OH! #-o Any way, I'm almost certain its a fault with the Coolant Sensor but i wanted to check to see if anyone else has had the problem before i go and part with some cash at a dealer somewhere...

Finally got a new K-tec Ultra performance Sports Exhaust along with a remap done on the Trophy. Sounds great and the power delivery is smoother. Very happy with the results!

think im gunna get my car dyno tested next month, but wanna know what trophies out there have had it done and what bhp and torques figures you have. would be intersting to see this with some cars standard and some modded and compare them

I finally have just had a look. Main visual changes are to the inlet manifold - fatter and shorter, which is obviously intended to help the top end - looks like the lower half may be the same as the 182, coils built into plug caps and modified head casting/cam cover to accommodate more...

Does anyone know the db rating of a yozzasport de-cat exhaust system? of know how I can find this out? Just slightly worried it wont meet the 98db rating on 'Croft' which is the nearest circuit where I live. I wanna buy the system but not if I wont be allowed on track. ! Cheers.

I'm thinking of upgrading my Cams. I've been looking at the K-Tec performance Cams and the Schrick Billet Camshafts off Yozzasport. Has anyone got these and can you tell me why the Shrick cams are £200 more expensive? They both claim to retain good idle etc. but do you know of any issues...

Think its time to remap my trophy, but which one had a mini one b4 and remapped it with Superchip (bluefin) n was great n never had any problems with it. has any1 tired Superchip remappin on there trophy??

as its a nice day i went for a drive around the countryside and thought about cutting a hole so my induction could breath better, do you think this could devalue the car and even damage the engine if it rains, dont want water sucking in the engine

i know the clio is rather torqey but ive seen some stats with the clios torque rising to a massive 170 ibf with some mods on, what do you need to get this sort of figure?

What is a good price for a renault clio trophy....I have been looking at one with32k on the clock, body work is good engine as far as I can tell is fine. Owner is asking £8500 A second question if i may what is the strange noise coming from when you floor the peddle on the trophy. I have...

Just let my mate drive the trophy tonight, he drives a Corolla TSport which i have drove and is just as quick as the Trophy, actually when i was driving his TSport i had a tussle with a 197 and i was pulling towards it at the top of the revs in 2nd and 3rd gear. Thsi doesnt happen with the...

Not a lot is the answer!! I've finally removed the valve following the guide posted on this site. I also replaced the hoses with flexible alloy items, 50mm dia. for the lower intake (1st pic) and 60mm dia. for the side intake (2nd pic) using the orignial plastic fittings. Performance...

Coming home from work tonight i was doing about 20 in 3rd, let off the throttle (expecting to slow down due to engine breaking) but just kept going! so I knocked it out of gear and the engine was revving at a constant 2000revs. Little dap on the throttle and the engine started 'coughing' until...

Hi Folks, While driving my girlfriends Trophy for the first time in ages the other night I was doing maybe 80MPH when I changed from 5th to 4th & put the throttle to the floor. Lots of smoke came out of the exhaust - after double checking it (repeated the gearchange) the same thing happened...

Received my RSTuner Pro today from Henk at Fastchip. Just finished setting it all up and have already backed up my current ECU files. The software is very easy to install and operate. Will load Henks new 98Ron performance map tomorrow and report back. Looking forward to sending him my...

Hi In the last couple of days when i've been driving hard the traction control and service warning lights flick on. When i press the traction control button it makes no difference - the warning light stays on! When i have had chance to stop i turn the engine off and back on - and both...
