If you dont run an external breather they breathe through the cap instead which can make the catch tank messy.

I got a roll of car carpet from wercarmats, used some cardboard to make a template of the bootspace then cut the carpet accordingly and Bob's your uncle! Just make sure you cut the carpet the right way up - I nearly did it upside down, which would have been a disaster as the bootspace isn't symmetrical.
I found this on K-Tecs site
cheaper than i thought lolhttp://www.k-tecracing.com/show_product.asp?id=4097&appid=2

How much!!!!!!
My thoughts exactly, its only a piece of bloody carpet!
This car is looking lovely btw, bet it drives nicely on the rs2. How much carpet did you need for the boot mat? 1 piece is enough Im guessing
Good results, must be pleased with it
Does the other half know you've got an RS2 yet?

Good results Tim, exactly the same as what I made at EFI a couple of months back! Twin Trophys!
As discussed make sure that fuel line isn't rubbing on the engine mount/pulley cover.
I'm going to break the mould with some lovely steel overbraided pipe when I get another tank.
I'd recommend them regardless of RS2 tbh.

Lol, so true.

I've still got a set of Vibratechnic mounts that I haven't got round to selling yet.

Indeed.
Indeed not, and that's the way it's going to stay!Does the other half know you've got an RS2 yet?
Will do, cheers.
Let's talk more at Nando's next week :approve:

Great results bud, glad you've started the 'hunt for power'. Epic car just for more, err 'epicer'. Hopefully see this next weds at Nandos. Give me a shout on the badge, I managed to get mine on non-wonky, measurement and two pairs of hands is the key

That's what you call 'attention to detail'... a trait that many Trophy owners have. LOL!
Ph1 172 & Clio DCi
If you use a Ph1 bonnet catch, you dont need the engine mounts, The front off the RS2 in a good inch and a half out of halms way. It is more than fine with just the polyflex dogbone mount.

Update - March 2013
#455 has just passed 50,000 miles and it's about time I updated this thread.
I went to the South Central & South East Surrey Rolling Road meet, where it performed well and has a lovely torque 'curve':
A few minor upgrades have been made since then:
- Mist washer jets
- A shorter aeriel (Citroen C2)
- New RenaultSport mats (as per Rob's suggestion)
- A shiny footrest
- 172 door cards, which look considerably better than the poverty-spec Trophy efforts
And in the engine bay:
- A shiny bonnet catch courtesy of Renault
- Magnecor leads
- Anodised top mount covers
The standard head unit has been changed for an Alpine and while I was concerned it would look really out of place I managed to source an adapter so the stalk controls & display continue to work, and an iPod cable is routed neatly into the glovebox. All in all I'm very pleased with it!
To get a little more from the audio I also had the front components upgraded to 16.5cm JL Audio C2-650, and the doors are fully sound-deadened - it's now a very capable set-up
I'm really looking forward to the weather warming up so I can drive the Trophy a little more - it tends to get rested during the winter months, and I have a few more upgrades ready to go on, when I find the time:
- Alcantara A-pillars
- Whiteline ARB
- 197 RenaultSport badge
Roll on summer!!

Nice one, Tim! A great result on the dyno and some lovely minor mod's as well. This is fast becoming one of my fave Trophys out there.
Having seen the Alcantara parts I am more determined than ever to get the interior refurbished throughout in that material; it just add's a touch of class to raise it above what is arguably a "poverty-spec" interior! LOL!

No update, just some pics having given the car a proper going over at the weekend. It's wearing Autoglym High Definition wax, and I'm really pleased with the finished result.
Apologies for the quality of the pictures...

You on track at combe?
Me and a couple of the other clios from clubopd will be out in the 9:15 session, I particuarly want to race my mate in his stripped but standard engine trophy so am going to use the mrs RS2 car as with full weight and a bit more power it should be quite even to him, it would be great to have you in that one too if you havent yet sorted out passes and are wondering what time to get?

Over the moon to be honest, not only does it scrub up really well but with the RS2 it just drives so nicely, I don't ever want to get rid of it.
I've seen what goes on on track so I'll be taking my helmet but only for passenger laps. I'd want to build up my confidence with a regular trackday at Combe before getting involved in the organised carnage that is an action day. Cheers for the heads up though mate, looking forward to catching up with you, and meeting Rich too (assuming that's who you're talking about).
