I finally have just had a look. Main visual changes are to the inlet manifold - fatter and shorter, which is obviously intended to help the top end - looks like the lower half may be the same as the 182, coils built into plug caps and modified head casting/cam cover to accommodate more...

Right, had a bit of an accident involving a 5 litre bottle of Comma's finest 5w/40 motorsport oil emptying itself into the boot of my car. Bugger. After trying to soak it up with rags and driving around for a few weeks with a permanent headache i have spent several hours using every detergent...

I'm looking at spending no more than a grand on some performance upgrades on the Trophy. looking at the Morego (without cams) but not sure. Does a custom remap, filter and exhaust offer more value for money and if so who and where do you recommend? cheers.

I hate the cup rear bench and want something a bit nicer looking. I presume the 172 & 182 leather seats will fit straight in? Guess that as with most cars, the split/fold system has a bit that bolts to the car where the seats split, is there provision for all of this? Which seats match the...

If it has, get your name down on the list here: http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=353581 There are a couple of members who are composing a letter in an attempt to try and get Renault to address their quality issue with the RS steering wheel. Its obviously going to have more...

Are synthetics better? The basic benefits are as follows: Extended oil drain periods Better wear protection and therefore extended engine life Most synthetics give better MPG They flow better when cold and are more thermally stable when hot Esters are surface-active meaning a thin layer...

So many different reasons i'm guessing! I bought mine as a daily driver to replace a boring VAG TDi barge. I have always loved french hatches, the handling balance and the way they handle bumpy roads is unrivalled by jap crap and german barges. Trophy specific, i always have to have good...

I left my car in the garage for say over a year. What would happen to the car if it wasn't driven. I might be moving abroad for work and can't bare to sell the Trophy. My brother said if you left it that long the wheels would deform and be useless - so best to put on axle stands. Apart from...

Hey all, just bought number 309 from a dealer at gatwick airport yesterday morning - i've always been against french cars, never understood what the fuss is about etc etc - OMG how wrong can i be!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My brother suggested i look at a trophy, drove it bought it...

I don't know if i am alone on this, but it strikes me after a week into the ownership of my Trophy that it has a ridiculous amount of squeaks, rattles and squeaky rattles! The problem is probably emphasized by the fact that i am driving around in "silence" whilst i wait for a stereo code, but...

Pair of Xenon Headlight units, originally from a 182. As seen in the pic: They are in mint condition, come with everything required to have them on any MK2 PH2 clio. (Ballasts, Chargers, All Bulbs). You literally bolt them on and plug them in, and off you go. £250. Prefer collection as...

Hello. New here, nice forum. I'm very tempted to get a trophy this week. Question is, how many people have changed from higher powered bigger cars to a trophy and what are their views? Currently have a celica gt4 but fancy a change. Was originally looking at boxsters and 350zs but i dont drive...

today i went to my local shell garage to fill up with v power and it cost me £47.54 this time last year my old 172 was only about £38. i cant believe the prices in petrol, i quite like my car nearly running on fumes though feels very good round corners compared to 70kg of extra weight with...

Just been looking at these with the idea of fitting them. 1. The front one does not bolt directly to the existing bulkhead or chassis, indeed it seems to come with self tapping (?) screws ? Secondly there's no way it fits over the existing stuff on the passenger side top mount. And of what...

Guys Who has one fitted??? what are the noise implications??? any differences in power?? may be looking to get one fitted in the near future cheers

Hi All, Just bought a 1 owner 29k Mile Trophy. Paid 7k. From a chap just down the road from me. Will dig out the number tonight so i can update the register.. EDIT Number: 224 Car was in pretty poor condition for such low mileage, but has the full service history, and hpi clear, as well as a...

Right as an owner of a Trophy for the last few months we have all seen the horror stories surrounding the front dampers & the costs from the stealers involved in replacing them. Whilst looking into the dampers, you soon realise why they are 'so' good. Not your usual bolt on upgrade, but top...

Took off the car as she is going to a new home Can be fitted in 10 minutes and is the only mod I would say is a must for the Trophy - allows you to change the speed of the intermittent wipe. The standard Trophy stalk wipes the screen every nanosecond on the intermittent setting

She's going on Friday and being replaced with a Megane 225 Cup I hadnt even thought of replacing the Trophy, but after test driving the Meggy the other day, I had one of my spontaneous moments and decided to go for it I'm glad to be staying part of the Renaultsport crowd though!

Afternoon all, Has anyone upgraded the sounds to their Trophy? I've been looking into this. =D> Any info would be excellent. Simon.

Anyone else done this one ......... ?. I found the lack of a cover on the passenger side sun visor mirror distracting so fitted the 182 items that I purchased from eBay, all wiring connections are in the space behind the interior light. Very pleased with how they turned out :D

I'm having another clear out and will sell this little lot for a sensible offer. Fairly expensive kit new that sounds superb installed. Here's the previous advert... I have this car hi-fi equipment sitting boxed in the garage. It was used for only 6m in a car I took in PX. Since I am old...

Done a search and I think I may be the first one to report on this! My Trophy has developed a loud creaking from the rear of the car over the past couple of months, I thought it could have been the interior trim in the boot, or the boot lock and rubber stops, but i've tried replicating the...

Hi guys I currently drive a series 2 lotus elise...but its not the most practical of cars so am looking at trophys...i used to have a 172 cup and loved it...and the trophy really appeals to me...i would be looking to pay around £8500-9000 would i get a good one for that with lowish...

i know the clio is rather torqey but ive seen some stats with the clios torque rising to a massive 170 ibf with some mods on, what do you need to get this sort of figure?

ive just brought my trophy last saturday and it was quite warm so i thought il try out the air con and to be honest i wasent impressed, my old 172 was the same but my old 1.5 dci clio was ice cold, i went down to dealer and they said it didnt need regassing. has anybody had the same problem?

Has anyone thats had their exhaust changed cut one of the boxes open to see how they are inside? I ask because I have been told - 1. Straight through from inlet to out let pipe of box 2. 2 or 3 pass inside the box so that if you pushed a small tube through one end it wouldnt come out...
