My trophy was good. My 197 was better & my mate shits himself when i drive his 200 :D I can't tell the difference between the 197/200 as i never bothered about mpg or costs i just drove it hard. Down my test track the 197 still has the record, but not by much.

Re: 2005 Renault Clio Trophy, over 7K spent! Big Spec! :lol: =D> [-X :lol: #-o I call the 7K spend running costs & as Sir D states it don't make it worth anymore :D

Make sure the garage fits the 'belt kit' not just belts. As the kit contains tensioners & rollers etc, may also be worth getting them to check waterpump as well.

197's also suffer this, BUT only if you drive like a girl :D Like the colour, beware of those wheels in winter as i had a set & they do not like salt! Raider wheels? I don't get this 'do you miss it?'

Good choice, i know several ex T owners that have them & rate them highly :D Marrow maybe you should get your T on track, you may get used to seeing the back of MX5's :lol:

I was there also, was a good day but spoiled by the rain. Left at 3pm to dry out :lol: Had an off road moment at JC Esses but no one seems to have caught that?

Re: Project : Workshop (56K ?!) Have you not got a damp course ala membrane? No chance of digging pit was there?

Did i mention, my 197 Cup was more fun than my modified Trophy :shock: :lol: :D

But who cares :lol: Should of gone to 'specsavers' :wink:

You wonder why it was time to sell :lol:

Thats exactly what i thought till i met Mr Roddison at Oulton & he lapped far quicker than me (in my trophy & 197 Cup running R888's etc) in the damp conditions. But mainly he was having more fun doing it! The white & blue car, currently leading the series, laps Mallory in under 60 secs...

Hiya Luke, defo good fun in the wet. Did the longest drift/slide at Stowe, even the instructor was impressed :lol: As it dried out loved the section after the new pit complex :wink: You were lucky with your wheel nuts that could of ended badly :shock: Doing Mallory on the 14 Aug if you...

Hello hows things? Did you get your house sorted?

Just look in Evo as to which manufacture has large adverts [-X

Top mounts defo worth doing as i bet yours are falling apart by now :D

He paid peanuts for it :lol:

Your wasting your time mate trying to inform this lot :D A lot of what you are saying, i said 18 months ago :wink:

I can see why your going to the 200 :wink:

Good job it's not that bright blue from 86/87 as i had one when they were new. Boy did it like to get hammered. The guys from OB Racing played with it for me, it flew! :D

Don't we know it :D :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

You need at least a cupped 197 to compare & they didn't arrive till mid/late 07. A good T is £7k i sold my fully loaded Cup for £12K, not bad seeing as paid £11K back in Feb 1600 miles. Sold 6500m, due a service 6 trackdays & 5000 hard road miles :lol: Admit it Jules you miss me :( =D> :^o

£5K By the way you'll live longer you grumpy bugger =D>

^^ mainly due to financial circumstances :lol: Seeing several recent Trophy/182/172 converts selling quickly also :wink:

Totally agree with you. Very similar experience i had when i got my 197Cup. The haters soon came out :lol: Another thing worth noting is when i tried another trophy back in Oct it seemed so 'dated' & engine is so 'gruff' compared to the latest 2.0. Defo once you have had the 197/200 no going...

Something RWD as i've done enough with FWD :D

I found a new company local to me who specialise in track focused premiums. I used to be with greenlight, £387 + £50 for every trackday i wanted to do. New company £418 including 4 trackdays included :D So in reality i'm paying £218 for my road cover =D> Only got £250 excess as well :wink:

Rodders took me round Oulton in his mk3 race car, he then toook me round in the white car. It was almost undriveable on the wet track, sideways everywhere, unsticking tyres in all gears. On dry track it's almost unbeatable. I was having 2nd dibs on it :roll:

Are you Grandad on Nutz? I got beat to the 280bhp fm2 monster #-o

"Then i bin/sell my tyres at 4mm anyway." I should of stated for my road tyres. Same with wifes motor as soon as half worn time for fresh. The Germans have 3mm min by law.

Simple answer, NO!!! Temps rise wildly on dry day & rears do get a battering when pushing on. Not worth risk. Then i bin/sell my tyres at 4mm anyway.
