    Not exactly spotted...

    I got talking to a feller when he spotted my trophy in a car park. Said he used to have one. He told me there was another one on the Isle of Man up near Jurby - anyone on here own it?

    Electrical problems...

    Thanks, it will start

    Electrical problems...

    The ‘Stop’ and battery lights came on, but the car kept running fine. Just before I got home, the whole Dash lit up like a Christmas tree and the lights dimmed, indicators stopped working and it cut out as I pulled up... Anyone had anything like this before? I’ve got access to a Renault dealer...

    My other guilty pleasure!

    Long-time Mini admirer, and never owned one. For some reason, I particularly like the pick up and the van models. And a Z-Cars conversion with a GSXR1300 'Busa engine...

    Trophy seeking travels ?

    I'm probably headed back in In a month or two, if so I'll try to organise something. There's more to the isle than just unrestricted roads. Not a lot, admittedly, but there's beer and beaches and people with strange names...

    Funding your Trophy...

    Doctor, of the medical variety. Currently intentionally unemployed between training positions... I'll have to go back to work when the Trophy eats all my savings.

    Trophy seeking travels ?

    My friend who owned the car drove it to my door, so 0 miles :) I wasn't necessarily looking for a Trophy at the time (other RenaultSport products were also on the radar), but I knew he had it for sale and couldn't resist after a test drive - Part of which was on the A18 mountain road in the IOM...

    Another 16k Miles Trophy

    There seem to be quite a few of these low mileage near mint cars going up for high prices. At the time of my purchase (oct '16), I was reading things like 'set to double in value over the next 10 years', but it didn't factor too much into my decision to buy. I wanted a performance car to enjoy...

    K-Tec performance upgrade?

    Will check them out too. Seems like a panel filter and live map is the way to go.

    K-Tec performance upgrade?

    I'll check them out, fairly close to me.

    K-Tec performance upgrade?

    Good to know - I'm not particularly interested in a big power hike, more improved power delivery. Not being technically minded, I'm basing my ideas on the assumption that with a handmade exhaust system, a remap of some kind would probably be of benefit. I'll have a look around for other remap...

    K-Tec performance upgrade?

    From what I understand, they put it on a rolling road before and after, and the remap is individual to every car. Possibly benefit from some kind of decarbonisation beforehand?

    K-Tec performance upgrade?

    I don't really like the idea of messing around with a nearly standard car, but I do like the idea of the K-Tec Clio 2rs Performance pack 1. Basically just a panel filter and a remap. Given that I've got a handmade aftermarket exhaust system, perhaps a remap might be a good idea. Can always put...

    arrise sleeping beauty ;-)

    Love a fast BMW myself, but I'm more of an E39 M5 kind of a guy. Wouldn't make a particularly good replacement for my daily driver though...

    Miller's new Project....

    Generally not a fan of white wheels (or cars, or pretty much anything...), but they look pretty good to me - especially with the red logos and callipers. Black would tie in with the colour scheme nicely though.

    Owner ages ...

    #282 34. Although I look about 20, and feel about 50.

    Looking for a mature comment

    Not too fussed either way, but hoolio makes a good point about potential fade. For that reason, I'd put them back on.

    Looks great, hope she's running well soon

    Engine number location

    Thank so for the offer, but the Renaultsport dealer in chester was actually very helpful, and looked it up for me in a few minutes.

    Engine number location

    It's 282. Had it for a while and put my name to it on here. It's just a bit of a pain sorting out the re-registration. Incidentally, the number on my car is rusted to the point of being indecipherable

    Engine number location

    I rang a renaultsport dealer, and they looked up the code for me. It's right on the front of the block, behind the radiator. Etched in.

    Engine number location

    I'm trying to re-register my Trophy back in the UK, and the V55/5 requires me to give them the engine number. Any idea where I'll find it? Thanks.

    A little wheel refurb post

    Decent price? I'm thinking of getting mine done, mostly concerned that they'll get the colour right.
