throttle

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...

Has anyone had the 172/182 Inlet manifold / GDI ECU / Cam Package from gdi? Think it looks quite good 1500 quid for 200bhp and 180 torque, i spent about £800 on ecu, exhaust and induction for my old 182 and probably didnt get near 180 torque, maybe 157 torque but nowhere near 180...

Just found a typhoon for clio 172 cup, year 00-05, i didnt think K&N did a typhoon for clio engines? Its on needforspeed.com. This would fit straight onto a 182 as they have the same engine. Ive checked the K&N website and it hasnt got one listed? My mate has one on his accord type-r and the...

I have a 2005 / 05 JCW Cooper S 210BHP with Engine, Exhaust, Suspension and Brakes all done at JCW. BMW Factory LSD and Stability. So a proper bit of kit and not the dressed up JCW things you see around. 15000m, one owner, TLC and a £1500 Kenwood DVD Nav also fitted to car. Total cost to...

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...

Evening all! :) Well it's been a whle since my last post..but it feels good to be back trawling the boards! Number 351 is now sporting a lovely set of Yoko Parada's (perfectly in time for winter! :roll: ) and although they've only been on for 500 miles, initial impressions are good...

Had a bit of spare time on my hands yesterday so took the Clio out for a blat last night. After a while turned the ESP off. Wow! Transforms the car! Acceleration has more bite as does the handling. The car is brilliant without the Esp on. Just shows how well sorted the chassis set up...

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...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hsXZO_jl_JY This link should take you to a video showing the difference between the original car and a few mods. The mods are Orbisoud soft exhaust, viper induction kit, manifold match and remap. A quick summary The performance difference is barely...

Hi all, Considering a new exhaust system for the Trophy. I want a manifold back with sports cat system - but main concern being how loud it is. I wan't it to be as quite as possible. Can anyone recommend systems they have/heard and point me in the right direction. Thanks Hon

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...

I'm gonna pick up my new arrival on Monday - R5 GTE. :) Don't beat me, fellas! 8-[ It's because my ph1 is under reconstruction in the garage. And some Trophy must be still waiting for me in Switzerland. :wink: What I want to ask you about is any useful R5 link where I can get more info. I...

Does anyone know of a problem where the car seems to lack power. My car seems to lack power intermittently. At its worst it drives as if it has around 80 / 90 hp. It has no low down torque meaning it's most noticeable when pulling away or trying to overtake other traffic. It also runs a bit...

just be interesting to see how many original owners(bought from new) there are still out there......post up if you are, and also give you a chance to plug the car if you're selling ;) Cue - #274 is going nowhere.

Steve's old Trophy is quick, but got me thinking who has done the most mods to their Trophy. If you want to add to thread just summarise with approx cost...

I have been meaning to get one since I bought the car. Finally got one from the scrap yard for £12 got it fitted, and never looked back. I never realised what I had been missing, what with this lovely sunny weather we have been having NOT :cry: Anyone that hasnt done it get it done know.

I've started to learn this technique on downshifts blah blah, i can blip the throttle in my Saxo quite easily but not in the Trophy, is this beacause:- A - the pedals are to far apart B - i'm not pressing the brake pedal in enough. C - my feet to small? pleae help a wannaby track star!

Has anyone driven one? I had a drive in one yesterday and i have to say i was mightily impressed. Steering, handling, and brakes are all very very good. Its not Trophy 'chuckable' on the country roads but i was surprised at how nimble it felt and how much grip there was - especially as its a...

the friday just gone i took my car to sanspeed to get it remapped. it was getting a custom map on the rolling road, and i was lucky enough to get it on the dyno dynamics which they have only had for about 2 months. anyways, i know that clios never put out factory figures on the rollers but...

My car is now back from Ben, who fitted cams, modifed inlet and a re-map. His only concern was that as the car has only done 4,000 miles, all on the ex-factory full synhthetic oil, that the rings may still not be fully bedded in - wants me to use ordinary mineral for a while - and so installed a...

A while ago, an empty stretch of road presented itself to me, so I thought I'd see how fast the Trophy would go. Now, it wasn't the longest stretch of road ever so I couldn't keep my foot planted forever, but it was long enough. It's not very quick over 100mph, but as it clicked past 125mph it...

http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=238403 What do they know??? Thought this was funny, overated according to the 'boys' on CS.

Still looking thinking of getting a trophy but after having a look around the 197's are only a little more expensive, and newer model therfore less depreciation more warranty and newer model e.t.c. Anyone have any experience witht eh 197 and how it rates to the trophy? Although i suppose the...

Popped along to have my Paradas fitted this luncheon time. All was going well & the lads were being extra careful with my wheels so not to mark them. A guy turned up to pick up his Lambo wheels having just been fitted with fresh rubber, anyways he managed to knock one of my wheels face side...

To use 100% full throttle, do you have to press the horrible button thing at the end of the pedal's travel down, or will resting the throttle against it suffice for maximum accelerative force? I can't work out if there's a difference with it pressed or not...

I'm considering purchasing a Trophy in September but I've noticed a few of the regulars on here commenting about the motorway ride. Is it really as bad as people make it out to be? I'll be frequently travelling to Birmingham, Bristol and London so I'll be hitting the motorway quite a lot...

F*ck me, WHAT an engine! :shock: And gearbox for that matter. It's more torquey than Type-R lumps of old and still has the same mental top end. The gearbox is so much better than a Clio's and the razor sharp throttle response / lack of engine inertia means heel 'n toe changes are...

for the past few weeks my car seems to sound very strange either the first time i start it, or after it is left for hours and hours...basically when it is stone cold. not sure whether it is down to the engine, aftermarket exhaust, or lamba sensor not being put back in yet (but it has been...

Just putting this up for a mate.. if you are interested contact him direct through his site, or PM me and i'll pass on his details. A lot of work has been put into the car - as the text says it was rebuilt from a rolling shell. He's after £5500 - no offers.
