MickD - in a word "nuggety". I too have recently gone from a Trophy to a 200 FF with Cup chassis (in fact I've still got the Trophy for now). The ride feels less harsh than the Trophy and seems to cope with uneven surfaces better. I drove the non-Cup 200 before ordering and having been used to...
Yes something like that. I got RenTech to recommend and fit mine when it was in for service last year. It's not a big job.
Worth the investment in my mind.
Tallandy - do you have the orginal horn on your Trophy? I ask because I felt the muted beep you get from the orignal just wasn't 'man' enough and hence upgraded to a louder twin tone horn (from PIAA). Worth considering?
Thanks Hoolio and others. I think I'm going to get Rentech to do the job. I haven't got all the right tools and if it needs a geo setup too... that's just a bit out of my depth.
Hi,
My top mounts are creaking and I thought I'd have a go at replacing them (with Renault ones) myself. I've bought two top mount kits from Renault and am now after instructions/guidance on how to replace them. I searched on here and other Clio forums for details but couldn't find anything...
Chris,
I currently use Ferrodo DS2500s with Brembo HC disks, braided lines and racing fluid and and when I did Rockingham last October they performed very well. Nice firm pedal, no fade and happily endured a 20-25 min session on track - although the disks were glowing by the end of that ;-)...
I drove a 197 Cup for a weekend and 250 miles and compared it back to back with my Trophy a few months ago. I liked the Cup - it's brakes, it's gearbox/ratios, it's exhaust noise, it's styling, it's handling, it's Recaro seats. You could certainly feel it was a bigger, heavier, more refined car...
Abbeville is a very tight and twisty circuit. There are 13 corners in 1.5 miles and is ideally suited to nimble, lightweight, rwd cars like Lotus's and Caterhams. I'd spent most of the day circulating in the Elise but wanted to take the Trophy out to see how it would fare. This was my first time...
I swapped my fronts (3mm) for the rears (5mm) on Friday before a trip to Abbeville (Lotus on Track day) at the weekend. I'd felt the front end bite had gone off slightly and had wanted to restore the grip. Swapping fronts for rears is something I'd done previously on other cars with no adverse...
