What can I say I hate this time of year where you have to spend time trawling through all the different companies!! Why isnt it possible to stay with one company?!!
Just wondering what sort of prices people are paying on there little beasts? Seems that the premiums have lifted a little for...
Number 230 is sadly a write off.
The story:
Christmas eve at 8:00pm I was travelling South on the Brighton Road, Purley, Croydon with my sister and had just come through the lights at the junction of Old Lodge Lane (some of you might know it). On approaching the speed camera some F*****...
Hope you have all had a very merry christmas! :D
Just wondering if anyone else got any Trophy related presents? My missus got me a print from Evo, the cover shot of the Trophy and the M6, issue 83 "Giant Killer!" - well chuffed! \:D/
Enjoy your hols folks!
What has anyone done to upgrade the sometimes less than enthusiastic brakes on a Trophy. For road use, not trackday. Need to feel like they are stopping the car. Thinking Brembo Hi Carbon discs, Ferodo pads (model type?) Braided hoses etc.
I've bought the Peugeot 106 Rallye LHD from Lee, should be delivered down in the next couple of days. With it's Bilsteins and Eibach upgrades it's kind of a spiritual (older) sister to the Trophy so I thought I'd post on here as most would appreciate the mods he's done to it.
Hi guys, just ordered a 225 from BMNC so now someone else can enjoy the 182 Trophy! Just need something a bit bigger and grown up (don't hit me!)

Righto, as some probably already know, there are 7 '06 registered V6 255's in the UK. Renault UK have decided to sell off one of them. Its an 06 plate obviously and its in an ultra rare Moonlight blue, which to my knowledge is number 001 of 001. In other words the only one in the country...
Hi Everyone,
I'm always nosing around on here and love the site, but I don't post very often. :oops: Hopefully this question is relevant to most standard trophy owners and I'm not the only one!
I know that the brakes are the weakest link for the trophy, but I'm...
Did my first trackday yesterday and i have to say that i enjoyed it even more than i expected too so i am counting the days down to the next one. I do have a few questions though for you guys that have done more than one and have upgraded their cars.
My trophy is standard and i thought the...

Saw you passing the pub just south of Hendy Ford/Southampton Audi at about 16:30.
I was driving a VW Caddy van with a wavy green stripe along the side and only had the wherewithall to point and stare!
I had had all 3 Clios's
172, 182 and now a Trophy
the 172 Brakes were great with good bite and no fade.
the 182 was shit with no bite and fade
I was hoping the Trophy Brakes would be like my old 172 but alas they are crap like the 182 with no bite and quick fade.

Unfortunately I may not now be able to make Brands on Monday 21st August so if anyone can take my place, please let me know. The cost was £159.00 and I have checked that it can be transferred although not refunded. I’m happy to take £80.00 rather than waste the slot completely...
My front tyres are seeming like they only have a couple of k's left in them but the backs seem ok still. From some of my 'energetic' driving i have worn the edges on the front set a bit too.
So here's the question!
Should i swop the fronts to the rear and then replace them as and when, or...
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...
