throttle

Hi there - after a very very long sales process, I am from last Wednesday the proud owner of Trophy #478. The register has more details, but quick summary is got the car, found a number of issues I should have spotted myself - the dealer agreed to take them on and the whole thing took 7 weeks...

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?

For sale is a spare inlet set up for the trophy,Included in the sale is a 'RS' stamped lower inlet, top plenum and Throttle body. All parts are used and standard,Make me an offer,Collection only near bath/bristol

I recently acquired a new car to replace the Trophy after 6 years of ownership, call it a mid life crisis if you will, but want to try out something different and found it in the guise of a '08 BMW 135i Coupe. It's a big step up in performance and still need to take things carefully to get used...

Just passed its mot today and will have 6 months tax on from Tuesday. The only reasons for sale are I want a T5 Transporter for towing my race car and I just don't have the time to give it the TLC it deserves and I would normally lavish on one of my cars. The plan was always for it to be kept...

Hi Guys and Girls, Time has come to get a new blow pipe for the car. `had the original mild steel Renault item for 63,000 miles. I had to be welded to get through MOT last year. I decided on the Pure Motorsport one, so no help required as to which one to purchase. I placed the order on...

Clio Trophy 182, AT Power ITBs Specialist Components Standalone ECU £5000 OK Here Goes, after listening to advice I have decided to sell my latest acquisition, since doing my first trackday last year I was blown away by my old Trophy 321's handling and the noise and speed of a few clios...

Hi all, The T has been a little jerky of late, random sporadic speeds, nothing permanent. Mpg is high, does not seem to be drinking fuel, both lambdas replaced last year, and no warning lights. Any ideas what this could be? Thanks

This happened to me for the second time tonight. The car was just about up to temparature and I was doing 70 down the dual carriageway and I suddenly loose all throttle response and the car just coasts along for about 10 seconds until it comes to life again. The engine stays running fine. It's...

Hi guys. im thinking off the idea of getting front and rear strut braces for the trophy. but do they actually need them. does anybody think they improve the handling?? I'd like some input from people who have fitted them. thanks for looking

Hi guys, Picking up #355 next week and will be my second trophy. It will be a second car for me so not a daily. I want it to be setup the best way possible. Shall I keep it standard in terms of springs etc? I've heard good things in terms of Mark fish, Cooksport, whiteline arb. Are these...

What's the standard throttle body size on the trophies as I'm about to order a 64mm one? cheers

Hi all I'm about to swap my standard inlet upper and lower manifolds for all the hunky dorey port polished etc and enlarged throttle body but was just wondering how much work is involved in the lower manifold to swap? I know the upper one is easy as I do plugs alot, also if I'd need any new...

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...

Hi everyone. Me and the other half sat in both of these at the Berkshire show yesterday and really liked them, especially the BRZ. We'd like to test drive them both but they're £27,000. Basically either a house deposit or the car! We've been wondering if it's morally right to test drive them...

i have recently fitted the new singing and dancing KTR induction air filter/ cone which increases BHP apparently... now once fitted it seemed great but on the second drive i have seemed to have lost throttle response when cold and i mean serious loss! to the point where i can sometime almost...

Can somebody please report back on the following: Driving straight ahead at 60+ MPH using small movements of the wheel around the centre is there much "feel/feedback"? I have had lots of work done on curing a wandering/tramlining problem which is now sorted and the handling/steering feel is now...

Hi All, I would really like some help with this if anybody is willing. My car has had its acoustic valve and the attached cold air feed removed (leaving the hole in the side of the box) I am trying to figure out what I need to get it all back (inc acoustic valve) to standard. So far I know...

Well, after fitting them last week, setting the front camber to -2 degrees negative on Friday and doing the Llandow trackday with CS yesterday, i can safely say that the H&R's are very worthy replacement to the Sachs. Handling is nigh on exactly the same as the Sachs/Sportline combo that i had...

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...

So, with the Trophy now being the only car in our household, thus enjoying the odd long journey, I’m somewhat struggling with the drone from the Orbisoud exhaust at motorway speeds… It was never previously an issue because the car was only used at weekends, but during a recent trip to Oxford...

hi all. new to trophy/182 ownership. iv been in clios for the last 14-15 years or so and loved every minute of it so far. 1 thing i miss tho.....the adjustability of the car mid corner playing with the throttle. iv been told the whiteline arb will go some way to help correct this. whats the...

My car has always struggled to start on the first go in cold weather. Usually one turn of the key fires then dies, second turn is an instant startup. I have never worried much about it, I just assumed that it was some kind of fuel pressure / priming sort of thing going on. The only other...

I've decided to just sell the car after all the sh1t I've been through with that Tom. He's made me so Sick of it all that I just don't want the dam car any longer which I've babied for almost six years. It currently has the POS RS2 manifold fitted and would need to be removed as it's not working...
