weight

How much should they bounce exactly? Has anyone done a video at all ... Mine seem to move fairly easily - although they were only refurbed 13k ago lol (not by BG)

Guys, General thoughts on tyres. I noticed the other day my rear tyres are seriously cracked, I think they look like the orginal PE2. They still have plenty of tread on them, but doubt very much they will pass the MOT in June ? I know there is a sticky on tyre choice on here. Getting hold of...

how much difference to the handling does dropping down to say....15 inch williams rims on 19/50/15s on do??? they are pretty much the same rolling radius just a little less width. i know quite a few people drop down a size in trackday wheel/tyre for cost reasons...but how much diff would they...

I am one of the people that mourn the loss of Pilot Exalto 2s. I know they do them in 195 50 15 V (at half the bloody price of 16s!) so wondered whether it might be an idea to run 15" wheels and have the benefit of cheaper (better?) tyres? Could there be other advantages such as lower weight...

I've looked at 2 Trophy's now and both had fairly worn seats, they had kept their shape but the base section was fairly shiny on both and had lost the suede. I know they are not hard wearing seats as I had the same one's in my Evo 6. Just wondered if this is the norm? Cheers.

Well, after getting loud donging noises when maneuvering, and people on here saying the top mounts would cause it, the garage I use also confirmed this. Ktec said to use engine oil to lubricate the top mounts last week, which i did, from within the engine bay, but it made no difference. I was...

Allo people, in the quest to solve my suspension issues i'm replacing my passenger side drive shaft amongst other things. The motor spares shop ordered what we believed to be the correct item, but it appears different from the original. The first obvious thing is the width of the abs toothed...

The modifying bug has bitten again.What a nightmare for my Credit Card. Had to replace the clutch so I thought lets put in a light weight flywheel. But then I couldn't stop myself and the following has been done. 1.Flywheel 2.KTR Cat and Exhaust 3.Solid top mounts 4.Rear ARB 5.Uprated engine and...

This is simply the very best there is! The quality, workmanship and the design are second to none! Very lightweight and compact system. This is the perfect exhaust system for the Trophy. It's in excellent condition. I've got under the car and cleaned in every now and then since owning it...

hey there everyone , just got my first RSC 51 Reg 172 64k with service history for the bank breaking sum of 550quid please no stick for the gold wheels , part of the cheap price was he kept the speedline cup wheels that were on it - and at 120 for the 4 with falken zexs on them i couldnt say...

-Sabelt Steering Wheel with OMP Steering Boss. In excellent used condition. Only the shiny part at 4 and 8 o'clock positions where the suede has been compressed through use. It may or may not be brushed back to life, I don't really know. Apart from that, there are no marks anywhere else on the...

I'm asking this question because I noticed that the jacking points along the sill are quite weak and one folded back slightly. I don't want it to happen again so are there any other points where the car can be jacked up to reduce the risk of bending the "rail" that runs beneath the sills? Thanks.

I need to replace the rear boxes and just want to know if the 182 and the Trophy are in fact the same parts. Cheers Calum

After the success of the previous group buy for this system Yates and Bloomfield are going to let us have another, same condition's and prices as last time. Normal website price (www.rs192.co.uk) is £334.95 inc VAT + £14.95 Delivery = £349.90 They are offering the groupbuy price at £299 inc...

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/motorsport/formula_one/9550930.stm Looks like from next season the F1 coverage will be back to advert breaks and shoddy presenters again :( I don't know what the viewing figures are for F1, but I would imagine with three British drivers and some of the most...

Hi, I have owned a Cup packed 182 for over 4 years now, determined to keep it as long as possible. Always kind of wished for the Trophy set up so I have just invested in a full set of Trophy dampers. I was wondering what you guys could recommend to get the set up correct. Lots of advice already...

hi all havent been on here for a while thought il just post some pics of my new car to replace my 200, its been 7 years having renaults and the trophy was the best of the lot :D. i wanted something abit faster and lighter what do you think? http://flic.kr/p/9UhA4n

As promised i have a few photos of before and after of the dampers once shot blasted and sprayed. If anyone else is thinking of doing this then from my own experiences i would suggest you look into building up the lost material once the rust and corrosion has been removed, the guy who done mine...

Can anyone tell me the weight of two sachs dampers regarding postage to BG?? I'm taking mine off on sunday and think it'll be too late to book a parcel force collection for Monday to get them to arrive Tuesday. So if someone can be kind enough, if they remember! the weight of their parcel, i can...

The new online shop is now open and ready for purchases of club merchandise. Currently only the sticker items from the old shop are available, but some new items will be added in the coming weeks and months. Once again thank you for supporting the site and forum with your purchases. Profits...

as above, its tempting.

Essentially, on Saturday, somebody parked their rather clean looking Trophy in our car park next to mine, the gf noticed & said, 'that red clio's really nice'. After then explaining to her that it was a Trophy, just like mine, & that under all the dirt, they were both exactly the same colour ...

its been nearly a year since i parted with my trophy and got a clio 200. now im having nightmares and i need a trophy again. maybe end of the year i will start looking but going to go find a completley standard one and this time its for keeps. :D

As above - The bonnets overall condition is good, just general wear n tear from being on 474, so basically very light scratching and the odd stone chip, literally a couple. As you can see from the pictures it still has a nice shine to it. Looking for £170 as stated in another thread on CFB's so...

As I was moving cars about & an opportunity to take a quick pic presented itself. The Trophy next to my Lancia integrale EVO & our recently purchased EP3 Civic Type-R Premier Edition.

wanting to put a sub into my 182 but cant seem to find a way for the power cable to get from the battery to the inside of the car..anybody got any ideas? and help much appreciated!

Firstly, thanks to James & Tom at JMS, despite having to be on the Eurotunnel at 6am this morning, James was bleeding my brakes at midnight last night - mostly thanks to another of our friends bringing in a last minute brake related emergency/c0ck up i might add ... IR tired. So, the work done...

My Trophy's exhaust back boxes are finally on their last legs and so the selection of an aftermarket cat back system begins... So the initial search led me to the KTR Ultra performance system, which has a 2.5 inch bore from cat back. A bit more research led me to the understanding that the...

Well even after nearly 6 years of ownership this little pocket rocket still surprises me. I know how quick it is on a B road, but in a straight line i always thought it slightly underpowered to take on the great and good of Germany's finest but boy was I wrong. 100 octane racing fuel on board...

Hi, Newbie just signing on and wanted to introduce myself. I'll be on the lookout for a Trophy or possibly a 182 with both Cup packs and recaros as a daily driver. I have a S1 Elise for the weekend, although I'm expecting that if what I read about the Tropy and 182 is right, I might be using...
