Good to hear that Graham, I remember you saying about the veer (yes, that's the correct spelling - few people realise there is a spell checker built in to most web browsers!) under braking. Glad you've got it sorted. I was very happy when I found out my suspension geometry was all as it should be.

Greenlight are great, I've just turned 28 and insured the little beaut for £497. That was with all the bells and whistles, unlimited mileage, parked in the street, an SP30, only driving for three years and a very low excess (£150). The best bit is I can phone up on the morning of a...

I find it very strange that they don't get snapped up immediately. In all honesty, what else can you get that's still under warranty for £10K that will offer up anything like the level of performance or fun? I can't think of anything. If the age/warranty issue isn't there then I can think of...

I think the title sums them up better, thieving opportunist pikey scum. Should be cleaned and disposed of in a bath of Nitric acid. If I caught someone trying to steal my car they'd get to feel first hand how sharp a Katana is.

How much is Ben's one going to cost Cue? I'm going down to France the end of June so need to decide what to do about the exhaust. I'm tempted to wait for the OE one to fall off before replacing it (which shouldn't take long from what i've heard).

They were LHD ones because the importer got in contact with the Swiss dealership before delivery, I think they only touched Swiss soil for a couple of days! It means Switzerland only has 40 Trophy's (if none have been written off). It's amazing to think that Japan, with a population of 130...

I just had a very interesting drive home, via the nurburgring and a few other private airfields, I had a run in with a Maserati 3200GT, who couldn't get away from me up a long, steep hill, a motorbike that had to move out of my way for the bends and a Civic Type-R that contary to popular belief...

That's life...if I could afford a 599 I wouldn't be driving the Trophy. Well, maybe just when I want to go fast round corners, he he he.

Well done for posting the pictures up, that's one shiney new exhaust there! I think a re-map is essential after new cams more than anything, the valve timing is completely altered, with the inlet and exhaust valves opening for longer, sooner in the combustion cycle and with a different...

Great post George, I was thinking only the other day how much the Trophy must have cost if you consider that most people only paid £13.5K for theres, brand new. That means the dealers must have paid about £10K or £11K for them and they cost, well around about what you said George -...

I looked into this before I decided to do it my own way by choosing my own products, I don't doubt their claims, most of the 20bhp increase will be from the re-map and the cams (more the cams) and Evo liked it so it must be good! £1.5K for 20bhp though? That's a lot of tyres and brakes and...

Hi Greg Welcome to ClioTrophy, You joined on my birthday! (seeing your birth date there makes me feel old). Glad to hear you're looking at Trophy ownership, you won't regret it, might cost an arm and a leg to insure but worth it as you're getting junior supercar pace at supermarket trolley...

350Z, 964 RS or E36 M3 Evo on a diet for me. I don't see the point in selling the Trophy until I can get something that's a brilliant drivers car, significantly more powerful and rear wheel drive. As front drivers go, it's hard to compete with the little red rocket. Ideally I would like to...

PMSL at that photo!

Alfa's are made of old Italian tanks (which all reversed into the Med to escape the war). Lists! Oh I love lists, almost as much as I love formulae. Whenever i want to kill a thread on RS I just post a formula up, digital tumbleweed. Don't try it on with a GP when it comes to virtual battles...

Can I have a wash mitt please Matt?

]my thoughts too - if I didn't have a trophy and were put off by reno's customer services and 'frenchness' I'd consider the new 'teggy' (i know it's not one but it may as well be). I was about to say just this ^ so just removed Cues quote marks. :lol: I was actually referred to as the...

Nadgers to tyops.

^Totally agree with Mat there, only time the dynamometer is worthwhile is a before and after comparison. Nice one J07, I think you will see about 10bhp from those mods, fook all from the ITG, 5 or 6bhp from the re-map and 3-12bhp from the matching depending on how bad your casting was...

I had another one today, he was so far away that if he wasn't in the elevated position of three and a half metres above the road in his Hyundai 4x4 (Poor man's X5) he wouldn't have known I was there, when I finally passed him a good five seconds later, I flashed back and waved out of the window...

£20.30 for you, Jules and Graham. Sorry, the £10.15 is his estimated batch price divided by 20.

You two have been forwarded to Mike. Here is his message about paying/sending; Hi Steve My paypal address is mark.hepworth@ntlworld.com If people could send their names/delivery details etc to sales@fibrecomp.co.uk that would be great Alternatively if people wish to send cheques...

Nor will it, even 13 month later! Strange, I don't get these approving nods, normally just angry gesticuation.

^what? Anyway, the Seller's finally got back to me and here's a picture of our design. I think he's making them so we should start buying them soon, he hasn't yet told me how! :roll: P.S. Those who didn't put (Trophy logo) by their name will be getting a Clio Trophy logo exactly as...

No Jules, power has nowt to do with it, if you can only know one thing about a car to determine it's acceleration - it's power to weight ratio. New Alfa's are always slow, because they're always heavy. V6's do that to a car! Sound lovely though. 240bhp+ cars with 0-60 slower than the Trophy...

http://www.letstorquebhp.com/rwd.asp 14.67 according to them, sounds about right, it may be heavy but it's got 255bhp and 221lb ft torque! I had a head to head witha 230 a while back and he couldn't get away from me, wouldn't fancy my chances with a 255 though.

I'm using a 400D with kit lense, Rich was using 350D with kit lense I think. I didn't play with mine at all, just batch processed them to an uploadable size, they're all shot in RAW format (I don't use anything else) I bought a 4GB card so I don't have to worry about using the not-so-good...

Great pictures Rich, they've came out much better than mine (and can't blame the camera either!) I remembered to set the white balance to cloudy but had the camera stuck on ISO 100 all day! That's why they're so gloomy and underexposed. I was really lazy with my composition too, must try harder...

Awesome, the guy is deity. I'm going to link this video to the thread on RS where I had to defend myself about three wheels being quicker than four! He did set our cars up after all!

It was very similar, apparently the paint code is 701 (ours is 722 i think) but looked exactly the same parked alongside each other. The Alpine owners were very friendly and didn't mind us parking our shopping trolleys all over their paddock at all! Also met pumpkin from Renaultsport who has a...
