Hi guys. Last week I had my wheels refurbished at the Wheel Repair Centre in Preston, they have done a fantastic job i'm really pleased with the results. They were shot blasted and powdercoated in Anthracite, they are not an exact match as the original paint but are very close, maybe a shade...

Righto, my front sachs started leaking so i've removed them from the car, sent them off to BG to be stripped, they've sent them back to me to be blasted and coated then i'm sending them back for refitting. While that's being done i'm working on the rest of the susp. Removed the arch liners and...

Essentially, on Saturday, somebody parked their rather clean looking Trophy in our car park next to mine, the gf noticed & said, 'that red clio's really nice'. After then explaining to her that it was a Trophy, just like mine, & that under all the dirt, they were both exactly the same colour ...

Hi all now i know this has been covered many times before however i have a query that as far as i can see no one has asked. Now im getting the front dampers refurbished middle of May, im currently running standard springs but im looking into the rears. Im unhappy with how the Trophy likes to...

Firstly, thanks to James & Tom at JMS, despite having to be on the Eurotunnel at 6am this morning, James was bleeding my brakes at midnight last night - mostly thanks to another of our friends bringing in a last minute brake related emergency/c0ck up i might add ... IR tired. So, the work done...

My Trophy's exhaust back boxes are finally on their last legs and so the selection of an aftermarket cat back system begins... So the initial search led me to the KTR Ultra performance system, which has a 2.5 inch bore from cat back. A bit more research led me to the understanding that the...

Hi everyone , Wondered what your thoughts about engine oils ? I'm going to change the engine oil my self. What do you think is the best oil to use? Your response will be greatly appreciated Joe

Anyone going to le mans this year? 11th and 12th of June. Would be good to meet up with another Trophy owner or any Clio owners that are going?

Hi, Have just sent both front shocks over to BG Motorsport for refurb but discovered the dust boot/ gaiter is badly split on one side. Does anyone know the part number of a replacement?? Apparently it is a Renault part but a quick surf isnt coming up with anything...Cant read off any part...

Hi all, Any suggestions who to try for insurance including track day cover. Had a quote from Greenlight that seems reasonable but interested to hear any other options. Cheers

I've recently had my dampers re-furbished with BG Motorsport and had them fitted earlier this week. I know the ride is firm, but I certainly don't remember it being this harsh; I can feel even the tiniest of bumps in the road and it's bone shaking to say the least. Another thing I've noticed...

I just read on a recent topic that shell v power is good for reducing the carbon on piston heads. I've always used this up until recently as shell garages are becoming harder to find where I live, my nearest is about 20 miles away ! I've often wondered how much difference it makes using high...

hi, It is with much regret that I am putting #322 Up for Sale. :( I want to pay off my student loan and get a cheap run about - I'm just not doing the Trophy justice driving it back and forward to work! Uploaded with ImageShack.us 2005/55 Renaultsport Clio Trophy - current milage is...

Hi everybody, Just bought a Clio Trophy a couple of weeks ago and I seem to have a bit of a weird problem with it. When I break the car initially pulls to the left, but then trails dead straight when I break harder. I have checked the brakes and there is nothing wrong with them. I have also...

I recently purchased a house which means I maybe forced (regrettably) to move the Trophy on :(. Currently I'm not in a rush to sell as it's tucked away in a garage (been there for the last couple of months) and I'm using a different car to keep the miles of the T. Usual Trophy Spec. 2005...

best place to buy them and people best quotes? Anyone recently bought these?

Hi all, My partner has opted for self employment and as I have not used my car since September, I am looking to sell my Trophy to cover the everyday bills. As you will see below, the car has never gone short. I am in two minds about selling it and will be genuinely sad to see it go. Car &...

Hey Guys! I've fancied a new project for a while and finally found what I was looking for today!... I decided to treat myself to a 106 S1 Rallye to use mainly for track days and road rallies! Great spec, just a few little jobs and she's ready for some track action! I've got a couple of sets of...

Having had a clio mk3 1.2 TCE for a while, then moving on to a Lupo Gti for 18 months, I've now made a return to clio ownership with Trophy (No.248)... Bought it from a guy in Grantham not too far from me, it was his wifes run around and has only covered 22k, already had the dampers refurbished...

I've seen another racecar for sale so am breaking my unfinished racer. Pics of most things can be seen on my site HERE Anything specific just ask and i can get you pics and more details. Also i can fit any of the parts, just ask for a quote. Collection preferred from Carlisle for the big stuff...

Hi Guys, Was looking into getting all my dampers refurbed but dont know where to go? I hear everyone going on about "BG motorsport" but i live about 400 miles away in Dunfermline. Is there anywhere in Scotland that has the same reputation for this kind of work? Cheers, Cammy#78

Bit of a long shot really. The company I work for (Titan Motorsport) has about 50 Dry sump kits left over from the previous Formula Renault 2.0 race series. Does anyone on here need/want them, or know of any companies who might, or know of any race series who use the F4R engine as their power...

For sale is my much loved 2003 VW Lupo Gti in Tornado Red. Selling due to recently buying a Trophy. The Lupo is currently on 87,450 miles but will go up as it is used to commute daily (nearly all motorway miles currently averaging 44MPG). It has only had 2 previous owners before me and...

Those with PS3s fitted - what tyre pressures are you using? I normally run 32 front but they seem a bit squidgy if you chuck the front around. I'm guessing a softer sidewall causes this? Gonna try 35 front later and have a tinker.
