After owning Trophy 452, I'm pleased to be collecting Trophy 207 tomorrow. Extremely excited too! I really regretted selling the Trophy; despite having some other good cars, to me none of them were as special. What's changed in the world of Clio Trophys since I've been away (sold in December...

hi all, spoke to k tec today about throttle bodies with the ecu and performance cams. i also wanted the labour and vat included it was £3441 all in thats a dyno and mapping aswell. (poke) just wondering what you lot thought. my trophy is running 184.5 bhp atm with pipe and filter and sports...

I appreciate that this is a Trophy board and most of you guys got that funky Sachs stuff going on. Just bought a 172 last week and loving it, apart from the mech gremlins. Gearbox 2nd gear synchro issue, t/belts etc Anyway..... Under hard acceleration, say from 2nd to 3rd, i hear something...

Was at the 'ring at the weekend, had a fantastic time in the Trophy, definitely the most fun I've had there yet :D Was hugely impressed with the Pagid Blues, they really did give incredible stopping power. Got a clip of the last lap of the day, but wasn't the fastest. My best was a 9:08 with...

I had the Janspeed/K-Tec exhaust fitted today at their place in Dorset (cat back with the silenced centre pipe), so not the slightly cheaper super-sports version. The fit & quality is excellent, no adjustment required after test drive etc... Just thought I'd share my thoughts: I didn't want...

i've got my 182 cup booked into K-tec next week for a janspeed/K-tec sports exhaust - i'm also really tempted by their "stage 1 tuning package" on offer for under £250 from £380 - has anyone else had it done? :? seems a shame to undertake a 5 hour round trip & not make the best of it

hi, I have had a clio sport 182 cup for about 18 months now, and my exhaust is beggining to cause me problems so i have decided i wanted to upgrade to a better sports exhaust ( currently have the standard one) I have absolutely no idea about cars ill be honest. The exhausts system which seem...

Sorry guys, but I've just got a Trophy and it seems to want to cut out all the time. Also takes a tad long to start up in the morning, turns over a couple of seconds longer than I'd think normal. Even once warmed up after a long drive, put it in reverse and start to move back and it'll just...

Over the last few weeks I've noticed a noise coming from the front right of the car when I'm turning in to the left. I wouldn't describe it as a 'knock', it's more of a 'whump-whump-whump' if that makes any sense (it does in my head at least). My first instinct was a wheel bearing on it's way...

Hi everyone, I have a question on the whole suspension setup that I'm hoping that someone can help me with; What parts are there that wear out?! It is kind of hard to explain how my car does not feel as it once did, perhaps the best explanation is that i feel a little bit of a shudder through...

I'm sure this is probably on here guys but does anyone know if the AST top mounts fit the Sachs struts? If so do they need drilling?

i have done a search !! i promise but i cant find what im after so please bear with me. right my emissions light flashes on and off intermittently. not though any particular rev range or speed. i noticed aa have others of you, that this happens in winter first thing in the morning. however now...

Hey guys, The Sachs are coming off '380' later as they're booked in with Ben on the 8th. I've noticed a lot of people saying that they've had the struts un-pinned to allow adjustment to the damping. I've had a quote of £25.00 each + vat, is it worth me getting this done while they're away?

What is there that should be replaced on the front suspension assembly same time when getting the dampers refurbished? Rubber mounts etc. Anyone got renault part numbers?

Hi everyone, i have recently been getting a squeeking sound from what i think is the passenger top mount / all the way down to the wheel ( i cannot pin point where the noise is). It happens when its dry as when its raining the noise goes away so all i can presume is that something needs...

I believe you can get a (?) mechanical Quaiffe diff fitted to a 182...? Around £1000 fitted. Meant to be a very useful mod. Has anyone got any experience/knowledge?

Hi everyone, as stated I've had an intermittent problem since i've owned the car. Got it checked out once before but nothing was found so I kinda just ignored it but when going along the M27 this morning it seemed to go mad. A dull drone started up from the nearside front and got louder and...

got a little caught out yesterday come back from Ice Hockey training at 2am. as yu can imagine the roads are pretty dam empty so i can be a 20yearold lad and have some fun. on the way back to halls theres a brilliant little corner that i always enjoy taking much to quickly. yesterday there...

Renaultsport Clio 182 CUP. I'm just testing the water at the moment as I am not 100% sure I want to sell up/ swap but I just want to see what interest I get first . Also what swap/ deal I might be offered Details: 2005 Genuine 182cup with 38000 miles Tax until November MOT until march 2011...

So this is my latest baby... a Liquid Yellow 182 with a mere 27k on the clock when I picked it up. I love the colour so couldn't resist another one and decided as my use of car is less for commuting and more for fun to make it the perfect spec (in my eyes)... Started with a visit to Charlie @...

So how long do you plan on keeping it (meaning Trophies but anyone is welcome) all being well? A car you're going to keep 'forever'? Keep for a long time? Planning on changing? A stop gap? No idea? I have to say I've thought about changing my car in the recent past but little can get near...

Hey all I own a clio 182 and i have done the below mods. As i am sure you all know we get used to the speed, power and well we end up wanting more :D . Is there any advice you can give me ? Please note that i am in south africa so really looking for suggestions like cams ect and i will find...

Had the car up on the hoist at Ren7Oaks last week to check on the exhaust back boxes and dampers, and although the latter are just fine, one of the back boxes has deteriorated further since it was serviced in September 09. Thankfully it isn't blowing yet, and I am still undecided as to what to...

hey ok so i have a question, the trophy has great handling no? that was the point. so why is the 'logo' picture in the top corner got a whole load of body role would another pic not be more appropriate ? tell me to shut up if im wrong, it just seems a bit odd thats all. only food for thought...

Putting my Alpine headunit up for sale as i'm not going to put it in the Clio, was from my previous car. Its full speed ipod compatible + has no cd player just the radio and ipod/usb. The full spec's are an easy find on the net as i could type all day about what it does and features it has...

driving home today the exhaust monitor warning light comes on when I get stuck in traffic. This goes of when moving. The handbook says go to renault soon as. Anyone else had this, if so does the t need a new exhaust. simon.

Anyone have them on their Trophies? I'm tempted to get some rear ARB's. Hopefully going to go with the Mark Fish sus set up at the end of the summer also. If anyone has that total combination would be good to hear your thoughts.

Hey guys, I have 2 brand new Goodyear Eagle F1 tyres for sale to fit 205 / 55 16" (speed: W weight: 91) these are designed to fit Clio sports or anything of the above size. Only selling as I bought them for a FF 182 which I use to have and I never got round to fitting them and because I'd like...

Interesting article in the June magazine comparing the 200 cup and the 172 cup; 200 was 1.5 secs a lap quicker due to its "trick front suspension system and brakes" but the 172 was "more fun" ( I paraphrase). I believe Mr Metcalfe, who has some standing within said mag, owns a Trophy; I wonder...
