rpm

I thought I'd post this up here for people to just be nosey at. I can't take credit for the write up, but have a read....:cool: The pictures honestly do not do the car justice now imo. The paint feels so smooth it's unreal. I haven't felt paint so smooth on a new car in all honesty...

how greasy are the roads right now...!! my traction control light is flickering away like mad every time i go out...especially when i hit 5000 rpm..

Nipped out today at about 2 o'clockish, just to go to the shops. So the tyres didn't have any time to warm up (engine running at full temp), anyway i was just coming up to a roundabout to double back on myself, went in to the roundabout nothing crazy normal speed and the car just started goin...

Just bought Trophy No 237 from Allvehicles. Pick it up on Tuesday. Traded in my Elise 111r and have to say i can't wait to get my mitts on the Trophy! Car was absolutely immaculate and Steve was really helpful and easy to get on with. No doubt i'll be on here a bit from now on! Karl.

A bit of a landmark day with the 50th Clio Trophy being delivered and buying the first FD2 CTR from Japan. Funny how in the 21st C you can spend a shed load of money when you are asleep! Brand new delivery mileage car in Champ White. Reg'd Sept so will be 57 plate. To be advertising later for...

OK, have been lurking for a while and am ready to buy a car, I have 8k to spend ready in the bank so really I expect I am looking at a 182 with Cup Pack(s) but I thought I would try on here to see what a Trophy goes for nowdays. I am not after a flaming for insulting the value of the Trophy...

Got the Trophy back on the road again! Massive thanks to Mike at Rentech for sorting this out for me giving up some of his evenings to get the car sorted. Yet again, fantastic customer service from Rentech and going further than they had to to get my car done. He even had it cleaned for me.

Had my 2nd year service done here and they do not use silkolene pros 5w40 they said they found it broke down ?

Car is making a grinding noise coming from underneath the car when its in gear at 2000rpm and 4000 rpm, doesnt do it when not in gear. Any one have any ideas ? going in to be looked at in a weeks time

Power at wheels: 142.4 Bhp Power at flywheel: 185.6 Bhp (corrected) Maximum torque: 154.1 lb ft @ 5664 Rpm Quite dissapointed really. :( It was tested at Northampton Motorsport this afternoon. Outside temp: 19c. Whats happened Ben? Where is my quoted 200+? I expected...

A little vid for anyone thinking of a JDM CTR... http://honda-portal.com/honda-videos.php?video_id=70 That's incredible, OK, do the 350X and S2000, but hold off the NSX? that's insane. I want one.

So today i received my new ITG filter and excitedly went to put it on the car to find a small oil leak while fitting. There is a slight build up sitting on top of the inlet manifold which im worried about. This is where the manifold joins the block and there are a couple of little wells for...

Has anyone else read about the JDM Civic Type R and getting a bit tempted? Autocar clocked it doing 0 - 100 in 15.98 secs while the Megane R26 clocked 16.66. Not much in it but interesting all the same. EVO gave it a good review too, hailing it as the best Honda on sale at the moment. I...

what does this actually do, and how do you do it?

Here she is, thought I would post a picture up as I haven't yet.

Finally got some pics, they're not great but at least they'll give you an idea. Enjoy . . .

Yes, the unthinkable is happening, I'm buying a flat as some of you know and the second love of my life is up for sale. Everyone who's seen this car knows that this is silly money but it's going to Steve at allvehicles at the start of next week so it will go to a lucky new owner for slightly...

Yes, as I'm sure you know, I spent last Thursday - Monday in France with just me, my truly wonderful girlfriend, and the Clio. Oh, and lots of French people. Here is my trip in pictures: Folkestone Lil' Clio at the Folkestone side of the Eurotunnel: Loads of nice cars were about, as...

Have tried searching but not found anything. Has anyone gone to a DC5 from a Trophy? Or vice versa from a DC5 to a Trophy? Am thinking about what i'm going to get next(soon)and i love the DC5 Integra and i want a WHITE car!!!! Have even been thinking about getting the Trophy "Wrapped" in...

Well... which car? :) I find myself looking longingly at the Liquid Yellow (without scum stickers) Megane R26 that blasts the opposite direction to myself every afternoon on the way home from work. I just think it's a gorgeous car, and I think I may have to own one. Being less realistic...

The clio came back to me Wed night and I am very impressed with my custom exhaust by Advanced Automotive Solutions Newcastle. It is a full system and is considerably lighter than original system. I can feel the power a bit earlier on, along with a sweet sound that builds up great above...

Im going to GDI in a few weeks if all goes to plan for Inlet matching + Group N ECU + ITG filter Iv just got a Decat pipe to go along with the Milltek system i have 8) will sound superb! im hoping for some good gains with the the mods added as the trophy looks awsome already im spending a...

I say Alpina Roadster 3.4 Lux, you say.....??? :) Just wondering people's thoughts of a Z4 Alpina. I have recently come to research a bit about them and they seem like a fantastic car. However I am aware some people wouldn't be seen dead in one... is that the case here too? Two...

Hi, I currently own a 55 plate Renaultsport Megane 225 Cup. Although this is a great car l've a hankering after something smaller, namely a Clio Trophy. Based on this my Megane is for sale or p/x for a mint Clio Trophy. Its a 55 plate 225 Cup (Genuine Cup) which is metallic blue, its also...

I have had rapid Clio's since passing my test, :D but since getting married and having 2 children i had to try and purchase cars which fitted the "Family Man" criteria. :evil: But since Renault released the Megane 225 i saw this as my chance to get back in the groove. :D I currently own a Ph2...

Hi guys/gals Looking at getting myself a group N ecu fitted as i have just got a milltek + performance filter want to get the Group N to bring it all together to get a nice little gain will also have the inlet matched too in time. Just wanted to see if anyone can shed some light and tell...

This morning halfway through a journey a light came on, on the dash. It's the light above the green change gear now light. It's orange but i have no idea what the shape is supposed to mean. Bugger all I can do about it now, as i'm off to Amsterdam in 2 hours but it's worrying me.

My Trophy has developed a subtle engine fault over the last couple of months. There is a distinct missfire at 2500 RPM (in neutral) and has become a little sluggish under acceleration, especially from lower revs. It sounds rough too. I have also noticed a rumble, in tick-over, from the cambelt...
