Cool pics :D Donnington flows so nicely that the photographer would have to be well positioned to get many 3 wheeled shots Agree with EVOgone, the tight hairpin at Bedford is a guaranteed 3 wheel photo opportunity though :D http://crowspeed.net/photos/bedford040206/T28PHY/trophytripod640.jpg

On track, with the ESP on the car is noticably sluggish pulling out of corners. You can just get the power down earlier with it switched off, when it's turned on the ESP trys to hold you back a little to keep traction.

I think you'd know if it was the shocks, when they went on my 172 the car felt like it wanted to send me backwards into a ditch at every opportunity :S

Good choice, i'm sure you wont be dissapointed :)

That exhast is made by french company Orbisoud, and yes its a lot of money. K-tec dont manufacture it, they are importing and reselling it. Obviously they have to make a profit, but the high price is dictated by the manufacturers. In France you can buy it direct from Orbisoud themselves and...

Yep, my prospeed system which is a similar design (but with 1 pipe leaving the box splitting into 2 tail pipes) plus a decat pipe was exactly half that price. Obviously the sports cat would add a bit more to the cost but would still be a fair bit cheaper. The oribisoud is very nice but just...

Yep, I had one on my old 172. Made a noticable difference.

Would this be a dealer beginning with I? I think there was a thread about this a while ago and it seems most dealers just put the same 10w 40 in that they use in the other Clios. I know my 172 had 10w 40 put in on its services at Liningtons when i had it. Mike at Rentech has the proper Elf...

LOL, no way will that PC out i'm afraid. They're good but not that good!

Had two exhausts from Prospeed now, and wouldn't go anywhere else to be honest. Excellent value for money too. As you have seen most of his systems ar e comparable in price with off the shelf systems, but his is custom made to your requirements, properly fitted and with a lifetime warranty...

Not normally my thing, but I like that. Looks neat and tidy and tastefully done with some originality too. Nicely done Rich :)

He he, nice :clown: : http://www.autobulbsdirect.co.uk/product.php?productid=16469&cat=611&page=1

The interior light will be a normal filament bulb not an LED. It's a 501 bulb in the 172 I think. You can get brighter / whiter versions, and i think LED replacement types too, but they wont fade on and off Could try these: http://www.consumabulbs.com/files/bdet.php?id=220

ouch :eek: :clown:

Still none the wiser :S Do you mean LED light clusters like these?

Harsh! :eek:

Nothing wrong with that in my opinion. The different cloth doesn't bother me so I don't personally plan on getting it done, but some people have looked into it or got hold of standards 182 rear benches.

Rentech is a Renault specialist based in Portsmouth (www.ren-tech.co.uk). Stickers available from them on request or when you visit.

I used to think they were great tyres, I ran T1-S's and T1-R's on my 172. Then I experienced the Exalto 2 and realised they are in a different league to be honest. PE2's or GSD3's are both better in the dry and the PE2's are unbeliveable in the wet in comparison.

I think 6 months will be £104.50. Looking at all the other 6 month rates its half + 10 % e.g up to now 12 months was 165.00, 6 months 90.75 165 / 2 x 1.1 = 90.75 190 / 2 x 1.1 = 104.50

194g/Km = Band F

I did half a day at Bedford on my Turinis with 205/45/16 PE2's and then switched to the F1 Cups with 195/50/15 GSD-3's in the afternoon. It was close but I'd say the car handled better on the 15's. Not much of a fair comparison being different tyres but the 15's were great. The only concern i...

I've started running 15's (Mk1 172 OZ F1's) just because the tyres are stupidly cheap and to limit brake dust damage on my original 16's

I've always used Liningtons in Portsmouth to buy and service my cars until they closed and Seward took over. Now i'm a Rentech customer :D

I had my Trophy Supagarded by the dealer before delivery (they did it twice in fact...). I'm not that impressed to be honest, its suppose to mean you dont need to wax it for 3 years, but i've now started to use other cleaning products on it which give a much better finish, and i'm sure just as...

Well the cost of one damper is high, but for a Trophy owner who may be needing to replace shocks & springs in a few years time, buying the upgrade kit and throwing away the unrequired bits seems a good plan! If £833 is a true price for the complete set of shocks and springs, then thats not too bad.

Interesting information! I doubted that a kit would ever exist but if they have a part no. and price then it sounds promising. Price conversions: Trophy upgrade kit at €1200 = approx £833 One front damper at €623 = £432 Ouch! :S

Oval plate (with fabrication no. removed): I can also confirm the above part numbers for the Trophy shocks:
