hi... just had 2 new exaltos fitted to the front of #356....... but the steering does not feel right. when im up to speed 30mph+ the steering his fine..... nice and weighty. But when im below 30mph+ and especially when im just moving the car i get no weight or feel...... it feels like im...

Surprised to find that after 7,500 fairly pacy miles I've more or less finished my front Exaltos off :twisted:. Reckon they'll get to the service in June, by which time they'll deffo be dead, so say 8,500 tyre life. Can anyone beat this purely on-road caning of a set of Trophy fronts?

Are these the same as a standard 182 please guys?

I'm just wondering for those people that have gone from 182/172 variants to the Trophy if you notice the Trophy is snappier? I'm still not fully use to mine due to the conditions and lack of opportunities to really test the handling. I've noticed you need to work harder to keep the Trophy in...

hi guys, i think its time to take the trophy to the track so im goin to sort some wheels and tyres out wats every1 think about 15's and proxes 888 semi slicks, also need some brakes and 1 reccommend a certain package cheers

I've got W's on the front and V's on the back, there's only a £7 difference between the two.worth getting W's? apart from the speed rateings is there any other difference? blackcircles seem to be the cheapest so far £78. Cheers Alex

I went to Bedford aurodrome the other day and- In the wet morning the Clio was very tail happy and a whole lot of fun. :lol: As the track started to dry the car became amazing. As the front started to slide, a very slight lift would bring the back end gently into line with no real danger...

What tyre do people recommend for track use on standard trophy turinis. I have heard the R888 are good but the nearest size is 195/50. Does this profile fit the car properly. Also I am looking for some kind of longevity. ie do the soft kumho burn through really quickly. These are a...

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...

lots of people are running 15's with semi slick's i.e. R888's, but anyone tried full slicks yet? just something i have been thinking about today after a trackday yesterday! if so, where can you buy slicks? looked on google with not much luck!

Does anyone know where I might find a resonably cheap wheel that would take the standard size tyres? I'm about to buy two new tyres, and would like to keep 1 of my old ones as a spare. I found the turini's at k-tech, but ~£160 with delivery seems a bit much to pay for a spare wheel. I...

So I was sitting in a tyre fitter this AM getting four new tyres :twisted: for my van, idly flicking through Evo's tyre awards for 2007 supplement as tested on a golf GTI. Goodyear came top, Michelin came about half way down. Second overall, and first in several categories came tyres by...

Read this Manufacturer's description for the pilot exalto PE2 on a tyre website (not sure which) yesterday. Thought it was of interest...... Manufacturer's Description: The Pilot Exalto PE2 is Michelin's entry level Ultra High Performance Summer tyre designed to raise both the status and...

After a day at Donington i can seriously recommend these. Took car to another level, just like evo mag 'giant killer' all over again. Met a guy who bought a wrote off trophy, he thought no' was either 47 or 48??

Just come back from a driver training day and my front tires are down to the indicator and look ready to delaminate. I always planned to get new tires after this day but here's the problem THERE ARE NO EXALTOS IN THE UK. :( All the online shops say they are available but after ordering...

Need 4 new tyres, couple of quick questions please folks; Is it best to stick with the exaltos or are the PS2s better or any other worth considering ? What should I be looking to pay, all fitted ? Last set did 13k - is that high/low/normal would you say ?

Have to say i was mightily impressed with the above article in this months Evo magazine and pleasantly surprised by the outcome. I owned an E30 M3 a number of years back and it was an amazing piece of kit - i've always been tempted to buy another one but was put off by the fact that my good...

I know a couple of people here run 15s for the track. What wheels are they and what weight are they per corner? Also what Tyres are you running? My current line of thinking is to buy some 15inch Corse's and put some R888s on.

Well here it is, what lots have been waiting for, in white as well. Still don't like it. http://www.renaultsport.co.uk/community ... cleID=1789

I need a spare wheel for my Trophy (it must be one of the original type, ie 16" Speedline Turini) - can anyone help? Tyre optional. Alastair, Herts

Hi As subject title says, in new or as new condition - cash waiting. Matt

Perhaps not what a Trophy owner may be looking for but still worth a try i guess? From my 172 Cup - wasn't a fan of them when I had it so swapped em, tyres done 6k tops and wheels are in excellent condition as you'll see in the photos. Dry stored since new, difficult to price but new would be...

Hi There Im going out for a bit of a spirited drive tmor and want to check all my tyre pressures, now i know they are in the manual but do people follow them or is there a set you guys use ? Sam

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...

Hi There Had my trophy for around a month now and yesterday ive had my first "real" problem As i left my workplace and was driving down the road the radio turned off, all the dials went a bit mad and the trip computer completley reset itself .... As i drove it down the road i was...

Hi There As the new owner of "steves" old trophy i wanted to ask a few questions .. 1. Is it worth removing the acoustic valve ? 2. Does a Decat have a dramatic increase in noise and will the decat pipe that ktec sell work with the standard back box 3. Does everyone stay with the...

I am buying a car that needs a little spending on it including a 12,000 mile service, new front tyres, road tax, small dent repair (paint intact) and possibly a new wheel. I really want to get the most out of this Trophy so what I want to know is: If you could make only 3 modifications to...
