Fear not, instead of going to Renault, who will charge you £50-£60 for a new one, there is a company that can create you a spare/replacement one £13 delivered. You need the FER key number which can be found in your log book. I'd lost mine recently and the Renault garage suggested I contact...

It's approaching insurance renewal time so I thought I'd start an honesty thread. If I was being up front about modifications to the T I'd declare:
- Filter upgrade (ITG panel)
- Suspension upgrade without lowering (Koni rear dampers)
- Brake upgrade (Ferodo/Brembo)
- Exhaust upgrade...

Current spec is standard, plus:

One of the rear dampers is on the way out, leaking, so will be replaced with a pair of Koni...
A mate has asked me to do a cam belt and a clutch on his 182. :shock: Rather than do a clutch, and then a cam belt separately, I thought it would be easier to take the complete engine and gearbox out. I have good workshop facilities with a wheel free hoist and a block and tackle, so no...

It actually gave me no drama whatsoever and luckily was not far from home.
Drove my friends quite now heavily modified 172 which has buckets and sabelt wheel and harnesses - makes me think I want to do the same as I hate the driving position of the trophy. I was thinking of some mildly aggressive seats like the sabelt titans which are in the r26r. What's other people done
Well I've been lurking around this forum for a while now so I guess its time to say hello properly. I've owned a string of French hot hatches over the past few years (2 205s, a 306, and a Xsara VTS) and had fancied a Trophy since they first came out but I don't tend to buy until cars are a few...

Me and richard of pyro motorsport( we know these cars inside out) have gave the car a complete overhaul to...
Hey guys,
I have tried to get a 197 steering wheel onto the trophy. I'm using Renault Peterborough and they can get it on and modified the cruise control ok but 2 problems.
1) the back of the steering wheel rubs on the coweling. (apparently this can where the steering wheel)
2) steering felt...

I'm getting really irritated by the seat position in the T. The recaro's are not height adjustable like my 1.2 seats were. The steering wheel is as high as it will go and still my hand bashes my leg and gets in the way during sharp cornering.
Has anybody come across a way to lower the seat...
here is my pride and joy. only owned the car for 18 months, need something bigger due to family getting bigger. always run on vpower. ktec ultra performance 182 exhaust system without silcencer, but car isn't as loud as you would think. the car is great to drive and so much fun. you really do...
Hi guys,
