For sale is my 2005 Renault Clio Trophy (205/500). Having owned this car slightly over 4 years I can say it's been one of the most enjoyable and reliable cars I've owned and certainly lives up to it's reputation as one of the best FWD hatchbacks ever made! Only selling due to the recent purchase...

Drove Goodwood for the first time yesterday, good fun that track. These were from my first session so not the quickest of the day but the bloody GoPro ran out of battery after this which was annoying. In the later sessions I was lapping nearer to 1:30 which I was happy with...

This was the 2nd lap I completed, slow I know but with no knowledge of the track I didn't fancy an off. Gopro ran out of battery for the final two in which I was getting slightly more confident. All in all it's good fun and that's the real reason I went. http://youtu.be/b7fozje07o4

Illustrated my Trophy the other night messing about and after posting it on Cliosport it seemed fairly popular and a few people enquired about buying prints. With that in mind I popped it up on Redbubble so people can grab a copy if they like and there's a few options of what prints you can...

They cost me just shy of £800 and the Sachs will be staying in my possession until I sell the car so I can revert it back to standard.

When one of my Sachs failed recently I was in a real dilemma over what to do. To have them refurbished is the best part of £500 just for the front two shocks and there’s no real warranty on the repair. Combine that with the horror stories of people having them refurbished just for them to either...

Finally someone on the same page as me. I'll certainly let you know how I get on with them, going to cornerweight the car this evening and get the allignment sorted Saturday. As for paying for fitting them, if you can't undo 10 bolts you don't really deserve to own one of these.

A £400 refurb that comes with no guarantee that it will last any longer than a week?

Yes that's an option but one of my Sachs had decided to go soft on me and I just don't see the refurb as an economical option for myself.

They are indeed BC's. Decided on them for various reasons but the main ones being that they offer damping adjustment for sub £800 and I ran them on my EK9 and absolutlely loved them. I haven't posted any full pictures yet as the car looks like it's doing a poo at current as the rear ride height...

I was on Continental Premium Contacts and I got on just fine last year.

Whilst these are on it means I can refurb the Turinis. The wheels i came across on ebay, turned out I knew the chap selling them who was an old friend so popped to see him and pick them up. Then my Dad powder coated them for me and I grabbed some tyres off a friend of a friend so all in wheels...

After killing another pair of tyres on the Turini's I decided to be a cheap skate and downsize to 15's to save myself a few quid in the long run. Don't panic the Turini's aren't going anywhere. Anyway what's everyones thoughts on the new rolling stock?

Mine currently need doing. Noticed the car skipping the nearside wheel on quicker left hand bends. Having contacted both Cornering Force and BG I can't believe the price difference between the two companies, safe to say I know who I'll be sending mine too.

Looks pretty decent to me, is that with camber adjustable bolts on the front or just standard?

I'll be there Sunday

Looks perfect that!

They're set at about -1.4, after reading other settings people on here had I did as for a little more but the guy who set it up for me certainly knows his stuff when it comes to geometry and advised it would be too much. After driving it I'd say it's pretty much now.

They're 204/45 Continental Premium Contacts

Well I've had the car quite a while now and I'm really enjoying it. Anyway I've spent a few quid on the car lately sorting out some bits and bobs that were bothering me. The new additions include: Miltek catback Eibach Sportlines and camber bolts Heko wind deflectors Also a few months back now...

Looks pretty sweet that! What suspension set up are you running?

How odd, never mind I think they'll stay next on the list

Looks great, just a quick question. Any idea as to why on the KTec website it states that sport lines aren't suitable from Trophys?

I'm really tempted by these, they seem to have some really good reviews from the people who have installed them so far and lower the car a decent amount which let's be honest isn't a bad thing on a trophy as they do sit like 4x4's. Plus the price is really sensible too BUT if Trouser says no I...

I've been driving mine all weekend and it's been absolutely fine!

Here's mine after my commute this morning

Shame you didn't answer my question in its entirety there. The thing you must understand is everyone hasn't merely read a few guides on the internet and picked up a rotary and called themselves a detailer. There are people out there who aren't paying attention to what the internet has to say...

Slight dig there hoolio? Out of interest are the people who commented about the techniques used detailer/valters by trade of just as a hobby?
