quick

Hello there! I'm Josh and I'm 22 from Essex. I'm currently driving a mk1 Focus RS, but due to buying a house, I'm looking for something slightly cheaper to run, but still fun! I was considering a Clio 197, but I've seen a lot of people saying about the shocking mpg from them. Anyway, I...

I re-discovered Evo magazine’s raison d’être last weekend – the thrill of driving. I bought my Trophy (#23/500) in early December. Its one previous owner had serviced it regularly but in most other respects it needed a dose of TLC including: refurbished front dampers; new exhaust; rear...

Brand new never been fitted still stapled together Black with anthracite border perfect match to the interior. No logos one piece rear mat comes with fixing points to secure them down and quick release clips still in bag. These are the delux version Very thick Super quality mats with heal pads...

So thought I'd buy an RSTuner, see what the fuss was about. TBH can't say I've noticed the kind of improvement some people talk of, I think its more of a placebo effect of thinking the car must be faster. Anyhow, did the long drive to Huddersfield and noticed my MPG at the end was 31. I do...

i think i will be in need of some rear shocks soon. what's your thoughts on replacements? i was going to go for koni or original trophy sachs. i've been quoted £113 inc vat + postage for the trophy sachs and £93 inc vat + postage for Koni's. i am tempted by the £40 saving from the trophy...

Evening everyone. I've been umming and ahhing about selling the Clio for a while now, it's costing a fair bit to run which isn't great when I have another expensive hobby. So i've decided I should probably try to get a cheaper car that's as fun and although i've looked at MX-5s and the like...

Morning all, not been on here for a while! Seeing as we had freakishly good weather yesterday (I got sunburnt ffs!), I decided to give the car a mini detail and grab some pics. I also found a 197 RS badge that I forget I bought 18 months ago, so stuck it on. Nothing special with the photos tbh...

Looks like a bargain but the seats are looking a bit shiny and having had an Evo 6 with the seats, Shiny = High Miles.. Anyone viewed or know it? Thanks...

I'm possibly going to upgrade to an Alpine HU and am also thinking about a set of Focal component speakers up front. Is anyone else running a similar setup and how does it sound? Does anyone know if the Alpine power pack is any good? I'm currently running a stripped rear so a sub & amp in the...

I got these a few months back from a trophy that had been rear ended. Didnt catch its number, however the mileage was just below 20,000 miles. I purchased the shocks from it to trasform my cup into a trophy wanabe :) Anyhow plans have since changed and I now own a set of bilstein b14...

I met Harry Metcalf at an evo track evening last year and he asked me why I had not thought about a newer car, implying that the new models are better. Any way with this thought in mind I went and test drove a Clio 200 on a cup chassis the other day. My thoughts, new car is bigger, much more...

After all the recent snow, my Trophy was looking desperate for a thorough clean. I decided to give it a machine polish yesterday to get it back upto standard. No befores as it was just too cold....that cold that i half way through i tempted on leaving it. The thread will only allow four...

Part 2 of Harry Metcalfe talking about his Zonda. 30 - 60mph is pretty quick! Part 1 is definately worth watching too. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_9RH4Fdprm4&feature=g-all-u&context=G23f1845FAAAAAAAACAA

Im thinking of buying the above, atm i have a tow eye at the front and this screws into the front. Now how do the straps attach to the front and the rear??

Hi folks. My first post on here. Im brand new to clio,s, Im looking at buying a trophy [ in the next few months], and as such i could do with some help in what to look for.? IE a buyers guide. What goes wrong. etc etc Does one exist on this forum.? If so would somebody be kind enough to point...

anyone had any problems with these?? mine seems to have ripped the hanger off the rear box on the o/s. is this a common fault??? only had a quick shufty but n/s seems to be braced, o/s not. bit of a shite design imho.

Had a puncture on the motorway, stopped as quick as I'd noticed but not quick enough :( Luckily my car had a spare wheel and tyre in the boot, but as the exalto is no longer available I'm totally stuck with what to buy now. I think the it is going to be the new Michelin but not convinced...

Watching this just makes me cringe, the shot through into the mint engine bay that pans out to a smashed exterior is pretty gratuitous. http://youtu.be/wN0J0e6iZpg

So its been a while since I’ve posted anything, and seeing as me and a mate of mine had enough energy to clean our cars yesterday I thought I’d do a little update with some pictures of the recent additions to #333. Although I won’t bore you with millions of pictures of my Trophy all clean, as...

This is simply the very best there is! The quality, workmanship and the design are second to none! Very lightweight and compact system. This is the perfect exhaust system for the Trophy. It's in excellent condition. I've got under the car and cleaned in every now and then since owning it...

I hope my boss isn't a visitor to this site because today I was working from "home"... Home was in fact ProSpeed in Cardiff. Turned up first thing this morning for a cat-back 2.5in system with 2.5in cat mod and slash-cut 3.5in exits. Charlie and the guys did a great job, I was on the road by...

Hopped in the car early on Sunday morning and went for a drive...because I could. 140 miles around West Berkshire, Wiltshire, Oxfordshire & Gloucestershire guaranteed a smile for the rest of the day! I didn't see a single speed camera the whole journey (and hope none saw me) but I was...

Saw a T at the Tesco petrol station with the owner getting some cash out, had modified exhaust possibly as scorpion??
