Trophy Engines...

[Maverick]

I heard a rumour that RenaultSport put specially selected engines into the 500 Trophy's. Is it true?

I know quite a few of you guys have gone from standard 182's to Trophy's, have you noticed any marked improvement in power delivery etc?

I know it's till early days with regards to them loosening up.... ( and my 172 has got better and better with mileage) but you can usually tell a good one from a bad one straight away...

Renault will have used the engines that were left over from the 182's.

But they're still making 182's.... So it's not like they have a load left over.

both the 182 and the trophy stopped production at pretty much the same time. The engines used in the trophy are exactly the same as those in the 182. The core difference between the two cars is the suspension.

the only 182 left are those which have been made and are sat at the import suit ready to be sold. IIRC there is around 190 left thats it.
