could be some sort of wiring fault, if you are set on the car just make sure there is absolutely no loss of power under load, try 4th gear a 2000rpm to 4500rpm pull
the fact is worthy of the trophy name or not this new one will 100% be quicker down a back road than the original trophy! I can tell that even from driving our dci 90!
I think its ideal, infact they have catered for the majority of us who all ran 172/182/200's over the last 10yrs! I loved having something raw, uncompromised and a tool for going down a backroad like a hooligan, but now im grown up with a kid on the way and I want something that covers that...
its not as "special" as the original Trophy I agree however it appears to have fixed all the negatives from the original 200 edc which is promising. I love it, infact im having one!
i still don't see the issue with 5 doors! If the trophy has a manual and LSD, or at very least an epic reworked edc that does as it should, I'd be interested!

noticed that popping up on the clio sport owners club on facebook, seems resonably desperate to shift it too so bargain maby to be had!
looks a good base to start with! i agree on the red on the inside going, the renaultsport mats with the white trim/badge suit them quite well thats what ive got.
my 80 has done 20k unplugged with no light, my 65 was much the same my dci 100 done 50k unplugged with no light, noticeable increase in mpg too along with never having to clean out the hard pipe again!
i got a cheap cabasse 182 stereo for mine was a bit of an upgrade for not a lot of cash and obviously the screen and steering controls still works and you can use an aux cable with it
LOL!! 65's are painfully slow! peanuts to run though, i always think my little mapped 80 is nice to drive until i get back in it after driving our 14 plate dci 90
yep thats the one, ive got one for mine but yet to fit it, ive got 3 brand new genuine mounts on it and it still rocks!, all dat torque!!!
dci's are like RS btw, once youve had one you never leave!

it sandwiches between the gearbox and the subframe
