I say Alpina Roadster 3.4 Lux, you say.....??? :) Just wondering people's thoughts of a Z4 Alpina. I have recently come to research a bit about them and they seem like a fantastic car. However I am aware some people wouldn't be seen dead in one... is that the case here too? Two...

Coming up for my 24K service and just wanted to know where people near me went. I live near stansted. All I seem to hear is ren-tech, ren-tech, but there is no way im going to portsmoth to service my car! well maybe lol Cheers

I've never suffered from the infamous 182 top mount knock, but a couple of days ago my Trophy started making a knocking noise when maneuvering at slow speeds. I assumed this was the knock, and thought nothing of it, but it has been getting progressively worse since then. The knock was then...

Not bad says he will consider offers under 9K!!!! :shock: http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/137469.htm

Just type in your command and away you go - hours of fun at work! :wink: http://a.oneofthelads.com/carwash.php Post your best commands, and later I'll post some of the better ones we found at work today...

I was driving down the M6 yesterday and got thinking about the feasability of fitting a six speed box in the little beast. Would this be possible? I know they used six speeders in the Cup cars, but they were sequential and expensive, also probably not ideal ratios for the road. How about a...

On behalf of a mate.... Unfortunatly i have had to grow up and sell the cup to make way for my first child!!! So here it is my cup that i have spent an absolute fortune on. First the Spec Chip Wizards re-map Group A Gearbox/Subframe Mount Janspeed Exhaust K&N 57i Induction Kit...

Back from the rolling road today and my lightly modded Trophy made... 174.6bhp!!!!!! I wasn't too upset though as all the standard 182's are reported to never put out more than 168-169bhp. Poor show Renault I say. 7MAT's was the most powerful Trophy there and put out 180bhp! Torque...

.... just spoke to the local steeler to find out why it's taken them 3 days to investate why the passenger seat wont move since they replaced the runners to find that hey've got a new catalytic converter on order ????? I'd mentioned that the engine mounts may need lookin at as at high revs I...

Just throwing some 'red' meat into the pack here ! I've bought a delivery mileage (currently 100 but will be at 350 when it lands) one owner Clio Trophy. Existing owner may be moving abroad and is clearing the decks of his cars. Purchased for his wife but never used. I am intending...

SOLD

Now that the red beast has died (see R.I.P. #230 post in clio discussion) I've got my eye on a Ford Focus RS. On looking through tuning mags such as Performance Ford I noticed that a number of people have tuned their RS's to 400bhp and beyond, however, their 0-60 times haven't improved in...

hey as some of u know i just got my trophy last week.....so anyway theres a guy in work has a civic type r....it has a full exhaust system, decat and an induction kit....and he wanted to see how it would compare to the clio. luckily near work theres a private bit of road which opens out into 2...

What mpg do you guys get from your trophys? My brother gets 30 on average around town but i get 26? But we do the same driving? Im thinking there might be something wrong with mine.

I don't want to spoil this for anyone who hasn't got issue 99 yet, but the Renault 230 Megane Renaultsport F1 Alonso Special 2nd Win Team is shaping up very well indeed. If I was looking for a large hatch this would be my choice, even over a Focus RS. I fucking hate the stickers though, as do...

What's the most anyone's had out of their Trophy? A friend recently borrowed mine and said he took it up to 155mph with his dad in the passenger seat and felt like it still wanted to go even faster! I know the speedometer reads 160mph but I found this hard to believe as the spec notes top speed...

Just a quick one, when I start driving in the V6 the doors lock once its doing about 10 mph, in the Trophy they don't. Is there any easy way to make the doors lock like the V6 does? or do I need the software, laptop and cable/plug arrangement? :? Thanks Lee

Another dozzy question that wont concern most people, but i was thinking about g40steve's (hi) comment "have you run it in yet" and having only done 3k from new i don't consider it to be properly run in. When i bought it they advised that i should change the oil at 4k-to get rid of any crap in...

Next car looks likely to be a Clio Trophy, so this needs to be sold: 1700cc tuned crossflow ~ 135bhp. A very strong and capable engine, the key benefit to having a crossflow is the fabulous sound it makes. It pops and bangs on the over-run, the carbs "spit" at you, and the noise under...

As a newbie on here ive currently got a Lotus Exige S1 as a weekend toy and an Alfa Romeo 156 as my daily driver but am thinking of ditching it for a 182 or Trophy but was just wondering how comfortable a Trophy would be doing 20k miles a year up and down motorways?

What is a esoteric HiFi upgrade? Just seen it listed as an option on a car coming up for sale at allvehicles and i havent heard of it before

Fact is you cant get them anymore. Well not new. And i want one. So i have decided to build one. Thats right im going to take a mk2 shell, buy a 182 engine and build my own Trophy. I thought this was a good a place as any to document my progress in this project. I intend to get hold of a...

OK, so I don't have an encyclopaedic knowledge of cars, but I was driving along today thinking how glad I was that the UK (and Switzerland) were considered worthy of being sold Tropies. Then I got to thinking about what special variants of cars we'd missed out on, that other nations had got...

just been into benfield scotswod road this morning for a touch up pen for the trophy...they just got 2 197s in yesterday....black and silver... the black looks very like the mk1 172 black pearl which was so much nicer on the eye than the 182 black gold metallic,i think this is the best colour...

Engine and gearbox on 110,764 miles, recently had New Starter, Plugs, Oil, Filter and gearbox oil. Complete with Drive shafts ETC.....£200 ovno Collection from Manchester.....

I need help guys. am gonna get a turbo conv from ktec for my full fat 182, what will i need to do extra to the engine so that is doesnt blow. only gonna run around 15- 20psi. help help help. want it done soon

I think its time to upgrade my exhaust and Hayward & Scott came to mind since I used their exhausts on both my past Imprezas with no problems at all. Has anyone fitted one of their exhausts to their 182? If so was it any good? I've been quoted £450 plus VAT which seems reasonable, half the...
