handle

Morning all :) just a quick thread to ask a simple question, this might make for an intersting read, if the answers provided are conclusive and factual, as much as i enjoy opinions everyone has one, so facts only please. For all you who have had rolling road read outs, what do you actaully...

I have had a rattle coming from the passenger door for a while now, intially i thought it was coming from the speaker grill took this off but the rattling still occurs. I can see 4 screws at the bottom of the door and a screw on the door handle and one near the elecric window switch, it would...

Over on www.evo.co.uk they're running a car of the decade competition. I'm jumping the gun slightly but 2005 should be coming up (possibly on Xmas day at the current rate) and hopefully we'll get a chance to vote for the Trophy :lol:

Currently debating selling my current hillcimb car and using the wifes Trophy to enter a few rounds. But just looking for some advice on what to mod on the car. Want to keep it as original as possible and run in the production, road class. Weighing up a few options just now so appreicate any...

Evening All, My drivers seat has started to develop a rattle. I've read various posts about this being a fault in the seat runners but does anyone know what the definitive answer is or how to cure it as I can't find it!? Whenever I brake or go over a largish bump there is a clicking noise like...

............had a slightly wet surface on the roads this morning and grip did not seem up to its usual self. My front tyres are on the 'limit' so wondering how much of an affect this has, assume the limit is only 1.6mm? Thanks

Sash front dampers all look ok currently on my T , looking for around 600.00 ono , all look ok no leaks etc any questions please pm me. :)

Hello everyone, Just wondering how the trophy compares to the civy type r ep3. Sat in a ep3 yesterday and I was really impressed. I went on fast laps to compare the two and the pre facelift ep3 was faster than a T round Rockingham by 0.4 seconds. But Iknow that fast laps...

Which one would I be best off buying? I don't do many miles as I work away so I drive mainly at weekends. So it got me thinking a diesel might probably cost more than a petrol. But the diesel cupra has sooooo much torque! But I have heard they can torque steer out of corners! Which could be a...

Just a quick query - anyone who's had this done -have you declared it as a mod for insurance/should it be? Thanks!

I'm currently having my dampers refurbished and had a snapped spring so I'm looking at getting some alternatives as replacements from Renault are a shocking price. I was recommended the Sportline Springs by Yozzasport but some other people think they will lower the car by up to 50mm?! Has...

Well seeing as the weather was to nice just to sit in me and a mate decided to test out my recently recon'd dampers thanks to BG Motorsport, by doing the ButterTubs pass and then heading to Ribble Head Viaduct, Thwaite, Haws then Ingelton and back home. It was a fantasic drive out and the Trophy...

Two cracking results for Renault, Trophy came joint 7th with Ferrari F50 and R26.R 4th! One bug-bear i have though is they talk about a 'layer of squidge' in the Trophy's suspension leading to it not feeling very honed and taught, and i quote 'ooldes of pitch and roll'... WTF!! I put it to them...

...since I saw this! http://www.pistonheads.com/roadtests/doc.asp?c=120&i=20408 and this! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rxAgyULsVo4 I've owned no less than three Type R's before my T. Infact, even my first car was a Type R and so I don't doubt for a second that this 'machine' will be an...

Okay, So me and some friends were fitting the Maxogen induction kit and had to stop part way through as it was getting a bit dark and we need a smaller socket tool which we didn't have. The problem I have is the bonnet refuses to now open after it was closed. I let it shut as normal then...

I know this topic has been touched upon many times...Just want a quick opinion. Looking to replace my front discs with Brembo HC and greenstuff pads. I use the car for road use only. Is anyone using this set up...any advice and/or opinions please?

Just come back from Jam Sport after having had one of there 4 pot kits fitted and all I can say is its the only one that's fitted properly as I've tired both the Godspeed and GDi one before and had to use spacers. There not even bed in yet and the brakes are so much better with an excellent...

Some years ago, Paddy married an attractive woman, Maggie, half his age, in a small coastal Irish community. After several months, Maggie complained that she had never climaxed during sex and according to her Grandmother all Irish women are entitled to a climax once in a while.. So, to resolve...

On the drive to work my passenger recaro developed a slight rattle :( . Is there a definative way to fix this? im sure there has been a thread on this before but i cant find it. P.S i did find what looks like half a white BB underneath the seat and wondered whether this could be part of the...

I have a week of work soon, so I was thinking of getting the front dampers refurbished. However, having seen a new suspension setup on another car (more in a minute), I want to do some suspension mods at the same time. Ok, in my opinion, The car is far too soft, more so at the rear. This is...

Bit of a random one this, but I fancied having a moan about the appalling quality of a lot of the driving on our roads. Sometimes it's so bad it actually scares me. I think my biggest pet hate, or one of them at least, is people who randomly brake for no reason. Not necessarily heavy braking...

Morning all ! ok so i got my Trophy Pretty much fresh out the box. taken the Acoustic Value off, getting some fat piping today. and i also getting the brakes done (discs lines fluid etc etc.) ok so, i know that when it comes to Mods if you don't have a set plan, and you just fiddle, thats when...

Yes tread shuffle not truffle shuffle! :lol: Well my question is, is there such a thing? If so what does it mean! I ask because had the Trophy booked in yesterday as im noticing small knocking noise when moving the steering wheel ever so slightly from side to side! You can also feel it...

I've never been happy with the seating position due to the height the Recaros are mounted at so I took the passenger seat out at the weekend to see if anything could be done to lower it. It appears that the seat height could be lowered by a couple of inches by swapping the mounting frames for...

I know there are quite a few threads on rattling seats so I'm lazy and i'll just ask from the horses mouth! I noticed the other day there was quite constant annoying rattle coming from the passengers. On closer inspection i sourced where the rattle was coming from. Its coming from the side...

Just bought a pair of these seats and fitted them. I can't seem to get the tilt and slide forward to work properly. Is there a way of adjusting the tension so it pulls the handle up to allow for the seat to be slid forward? I am wondering if i have attached the cable to the subframe wrong. If...

Here's a video from Yesterday's trackday at Brands Hatch, 2 other Trophy's were there too. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NHjHopythvI Chris

I'm going to lower the CoG and stiffen up the car and it seems Mark Fish is recommended as the best supplier of new springs for the trophy. Can anyone tell me what options he offers and the prices, i gather a few on here already have them fitted. I've tried emailing him twice this week but so...
