no ive not sold the trophy and bought another V6, just got a new kart. Birel RX32 chassis with IAME 100cc Formula Blue engine. Ran the engine in last weekend in the morning then flat out in the afternoon, 16000 RPM, mmmmmmm nice. Your thoughts welcome. Ian
Mentioned selling my Williams Clio the other day, now cleaned (looking good) and on sale. Also LHD 106 Rallye with trackday suspension and tyre mods too. Both priced at £2995 - I don't really want to sell either but needs must. Details are on classified eBay ads. Already some interest in...
Has anybody been infected with the petrol problem? Just been listhening to the news, said i no. :lol:
Should think most people will be using V-Power from shell and wont have been affected. Thousands of people have had problems mainly using Morrisons and Tescos petrol. Now we all know why it...
If you and your mates fancy a run to the 'Ring then I have just what you need. Four Trophys in stock from only £10995. I might even tag along.
Who Dares Wins as they say!

As I have only owned No. 259 for five days, I'm unsure whether the behaviour I'm experiencing from the car is normal and i just need to get used to it or it is being a little bit naughty..?, I'll try to explain.
When accelerating hard in 2nd or 3rd, when engine gets to about 5000rpm and...
Got a bit carried away today :shock:
My exhaust (standard 'high quality' item) is making strange noises again.. So I concluded something had to be done! Then concluded whilst I am at it makes sense to do something on the induction and ECU side.
ITG panel filter and KTR grp N ECU choices...
What's the most anyone's had out of their Trophy? A friend recently borrowed mine and said he took it up to 155mph with his dad in the passenger seat and felt like it still wanted to go even faster! I know the speedometer reads 160mph but I found this hard to believe as the spec notes top speed...
when i'm at a junction holding the revs at say 1500 it seems to pulse from 1500 - 2000rpm, and im sure that its not a jittery leg :lol: ?
is this me or is the Trophy taking over!
So I was chatting with Bernard Olivier the CEO of Renault Sport at the weekend (as one does :lol: ) and he brought up the subject of the Trophy dampers.
Apart from talking about how good they are he mentioned that the one negative is the need for them to be replaced / rebuilt more often...
Hi People :D
My 4 months with the Mini are over! Great car, no reason to sell it but I had the urge !
Anyone care to take a guess as to the replacement (pick it up tomorrow hopefully)
Correct guess wins a jelly bean
Seems i'm always banging on with probs anyone any ideas with this?
From cold can pull off but there is a total lack of power tiil it warms a little, plenty of revs but wiill just not move. Has only just started, admittedly have still only done 2k (i know shame on me)
Sorry no idea what...
We all know that Renaultsport will release a Cup version of the 197 in a years time or so, along with a hundred or so other packs and variants but will they relesase a Trophy version, perhaps at the end of it's run?
If so, what would people like to see in the Trophy version? I'll start...
Last week end while at ultimate street car @ santa pod after a lot of hasle off my mates i reluctanly took my trophy down the drag strip.
First run ever on a drag strip i managed 15.5 beating a v6 calebra 16.6
next run an Astra coupe turbo i got 15.73 he got 15.68 i won again because i had a...

Today I took the spanner to the car and completed the obligatory induction modification.
I however routed the intake pipe slightly differently and also used the old pipe as a feed for the second air hole intake to the front of the box (currently taking in hot engine air).
I also played...

Don't know whether anyone else has spotted this yet, but you're looking at a hundred quid off if 20 peeps put there hands up for one.
I'm gonna take the plunge as I don't think I can stretch to the Orbisoud!
As I had today off work I decided to modify the air-intake system on my Trophy by removing the air-valve located near the horn to see what would happen as most after-market CAI on the market (ITG Maxogen & Viper etc) recommend removing the valve on installation.
To my surprise the cars feels...
Finally, after what seems years of change after change, the AWT website is now live.
Its not finished and there is alot still to put up, but that will be added as things move along.
A massive thanks to Craig who put in more time, effort and design though into this than was really...
Over on cliosport.net I have read many threads that describe the 182’s 5K kick.
I had often thought that these threads over hyped the kick as I can only just feel an increase at 5200 revs in my Trophy, but recently I drove Steve’s (sm wrc) 182 and his car really does kick...
If you are "modding" your car and adding BHP or using it on track then consider your oil choice carefully as the stock manufacturers recommended oil will not give you the protection that your engine requires.
A standard oil will not be thermally stable enough to cope with higher temperatures...
A couple of interesting reads in evo magazine this month:
1) JB rates the Williams superior over the Trophy
2) The 197 is deemed better than the Cup but comparison to Trophy is not made (yet!)
