I'm sure this has been discussed at length before, but how do these two compare? Obviously I could search old posts, but... I know some people here have owned both, and I'd be interested to know their thoughts. I'm not going to buy one - I specifically looked for four seat car when I...

how much weight will this save over standard one?

Test drove a 197 today while my Trophy was in for its 12K service. Dealer allowed me to really 'test' the car, staying away from dual carrageways in favour of a few miles of twisting country roads. Plus points for me... Cant argue with the claims of better build quality - it felt like a...

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...

Last week end while at ultimate street car @ santa pod after a lot of hasle off my mates i reluctanly took my trophy down the drag strip. First run ever on a drag strip i managed 15.5 beating a v6 calebra 16.6 next run an Astra coupe turbo i got 15.73 he got 15.68 i won again because i had a...

Fact is you cant get them anymore. Well not new. And i want one. So i have decided to build one. Thats right im going to take a mk2 shell, buy a 182 engine and build my own Trophy. I thought this was a good a place as any to document my progress in this project. I intend to get hold of a...

Looking for a nice tax disc holder for my trophy, would like to get the red richbrook one with 'renaultsport' engraved (Loads on ebay) however i'm under the impression that it looks a bit pinkish due to the nature of the metal? Anyone got one who could tell me if Is this the case? I'm a bit...

Now don't shoot me, but I'm a Civic Type R driver, had one for 4 years and looking for a change. Been considering a cup for a while, and now that Trophies are starting to 'possibly' fall into my price range, I thought I'd do some research! Now there's no doubting the looks, performance...

They tested it against the Astra VXR and Focus ST, and in many ways it came out on top. Obviously not the quickest, but ride and handling were better than the Focus. Not much slower to 60, but 2-2.5 secs slower ot 100 mph. Interestingly its weight is a killer - it is slower than their test in...

First impressions, BIG! Its Civic sized, it looks extremly wide from the rear (quite like that) but its very high up, it doesn't come across as nimble in any shape or form. The wheels are quite nice. Seats looked like they were sat on a booster box. I can see where all the extra weight has...

Ok so scanning the news of the world for general celebs with there norks out and came across an article written by some cunt callled JAMES FAXALL you just read the article and you will discover that well jamie faxall really knows F*U*C*ksall

Helped my mate change his oil on his Teggy Type R recently, and we could not find anywhere decent under the car to jack up from, so using a trolley jack, we jacked up using the jacking points, and everything went fine. So I decided to use the same method on the Trophy (despite having used...

Not being one for planning anything, anyone know if you can just turn up at Goodwood on Friday and buy a ticket?

Today I took the spanner to the car and completed the obligatory induction modification. I however routed the intake pipe slightly differently and also used the old pipe as a feed for the second air hole intake to the front of the box (currently taking in hot engine air). I also played...

as we all know the trophy speakers aint great...i was thinking about some after-market ones for the rear...are they 10cm or do i need some of the custom ones..? anyone changed theirs? what did you buy?

What’s written on your oil bottle and what does it mean. This post may seem like going back to basics but I am constantly surprised by the amount of people who do not know or understand what is written on a bottle of oil and therefore no idea of what they are buying/using. To be...

Not knocking the guys who are changing parts, but has anyone kept theirs as out of the box?

Will start to flake off, what ya reckon?

hi guys trying to make a decision as to buy a trophy a type r or a cupra r, would really appreciate some honest advise off anyone mature enough to give it please. i want to tune the car so clearly the seat has the advantage of already having a blower on it, but on the other hand i want...

WHATS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN NORMAL SUSPENSION OR THE CUP SUSPENSION IS IT JUST SPRINGS??

put my trophy on my race scales...half tank of fuel, no baggage

Over on cliosport.net I have read many threads that describe the 182’s 5K kick. I had often thought that these threads over hyped the kick as I can only just feel an increase at 5200 revs in my Trophy, but recently I drove Steve’s (sm wrc) 182 and his car really does kick...
