Yep, that's a great idea, I'll have to ask Olly obviously but if he's up for taking it up there then you can pick it up from FCS. I thought this was going to fly off my hands, I'm not looking for a fortune for this but don't want to let it go for nothing. Shall I start the bidding at £30?

Will you take an immaculate DC 2 in P/X? :lol: Good Luck Steve, it's been well looked after, I can vouch for that.

Lower than the Race car I notice! If it was true to the Trophy it would be about 5 inches higher than that. They're never going to use dampers that expensive on a Renault again, not when people have to start servicing the Sachs and complain to Renault about the cost.

Actually having 197bhp would help it's cause...

This confirms what little knowledge I have on the subject, I talked at length with Donkey about this while chiefbadger propped his eyelids open with matchsticks and tried not to nod off. Basically, nobody but the army uses DOT 5 because they don't care about brake fade in a Jeep and are more...

Original Equipment Trophy Wheel and Tyre. Wheel has kerbing (hence why it's a spare) but is perfectly straight and in otherwise mint condition (It had only done about 4000 miles when the Pikey in his transit drove at me on a very narrow road) and has a quite worn but legal PE2 on it that has...

erm, how can I put this delicately?...SCAM!!!

£12K? I'd rather drive it, who can afford to keep a hatchback for ten years without even driving it anyway? Those sorts of people waste their money on Bentleys.

In answer to your question, there isn't a Trophy specific manual, there is a small Renaultsport Clio manual that covers the bits not in the generic Clio manual but neither of them are particularly useful or attractive. The illustrations look like the ones from a 1970's first aid manual ie...

168-169bhp as standard (corrected for fly). Probably.

Seen that one £1,500 too expensive for me (and £500 too expensive for a private sale too). Got Issue 83? I bought mine on the strength of that article Cue!

Three in the top four actually! Who would want one of those rusty little blue valvers? :lol:

I'll swap you the brand new titanium gear knob in it's box for a standard Trophy gear knob. No joke. It's going to Steve with the Richbrook one on otherwise and he'd rather it was standard probably, even though he and everyone else who's seen it says it's much better than the OE one and doesn't...

WOW! That's an awesome job, looks like you've just driven off the Permagard forecourt! :wink:

Can it be? Can another year have passed since I posted this? It's tomorrow guys, I think we should organise something special for CT's 2nd Birthday. How about a "Most fantastic/ridiculous picture of Trophy with owner" competition, with absolutely no photoshopping allowed?

Do you know I actually clicked on that, saw it was a Trophy, chuckled and started reading and thought "That bastard's knicked my description!" 298/500...oops. :oops:

No, not RWD, I should have said I was contemplating RWD but not for the moment. S2000 not lighter, no new Mini is lighter than the Trophy. In fact you'd be hard pushed to find a FWD car that has more power and less weight than the Trophy. The S Works GP has 215bhp but weighs 15kg more at 1090...

I knew you'd like that one! I totally agree, the Trophy is soooo much fun and so cheap to run, it makes other cars seem a bit silly. But the 'Stang though, I guess you've got to really love them but what a beauty. I'd never part with £10K for a non fastback though, i'd always hanker...

I thought it would be interesting to see just what can be had if you were to sell up, had no idea it would bag this little lot! http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/169601.htm http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/179011.htm http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/195650.htm...

Hi Rexy What year is it? Does it have a full service history? Is it a manual? Just a few of the questions you'll get asked, can you plug your phone into the computer to upload pics, it might be a pain in the arse but very few cars sell without at least one picture, people have to...

I like the 306 Rallyes (and normal GTI-6's) but want to move away from French cars for a bit, besides I've already owned the best Peugeot by far! I wanted to try something RWD but the choice isn't that great, there's no way I'd get a Bimmer unless it was an M3 or M5, there's just too many on the...

Do Hill Power do an IK? Or just the induction hoses? ITG Maxogen would still be my choice.

Hello andy182, Bite the bullet now, never a better time to buy, sell your Cup for £7.5K and get a Trophy for £9.5K. No-one has ever mentioned that, maybe a bright red t-shirt and bright red car would be a bit much "Look at me!". A little bit sad worn at the same time too. Maybe a...

A DC 2 UKDM Integra with air conditioning weighs 1100kg, without air con - 1060kg. So you could count it in. You're right about the DC-5 though, too heavy, still too expensive, although you can get one for Trophy money, just not with change. Do you know I didn't even consider a 172 Cup...

You guys wouldn't make very good detectives! :lol: :lol: If you look at the clues so far (I feel a list coming); 1. Slightly more power 2. Slightly less weight 3. Obviously cheaper than the trade-in for a Trophy, that's the main reason I'm having to sell poor XOG after all. 4...

I can actually, Donkey told me that they supply a lowered floor plate as standard option. It's not a Caterham though, as much as I wouldn't mind that new X330, that looks insane. Similarity with Caparo begins and ends with similar redline (and four wheels I suppose).

Yeh, they park all along that road, they don't bother me though, I'll take Hippies over Gippos anyday, at least they smoke so much pot they can't be bothered to get out of bed in the morning, let alone burgle your flat. Probably do a better job of tarmacing your drive too. Possible...

Supercar performance, supercar running costs. I heard somewhere it's cheaper to run a 911 than an Evo.

Gareth - cheers buddy, that's very kind of you, the links to the pictures are; http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/largep ... model=clio http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/largep ... model=clio http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/largep ... model=clio http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/largep...

Yeh, Nigel had to delete it, it broke too many rules. Only members can sell cars on their site. Rubbish I say, they called me a cheapskate for not coughing up a fiver, er...surely that's the point of a forum - free advertising to like-minded enthusiasts. What would they know anyway, half of them...
