My cambelt will be done tomorrow along with the water pump. FY55 has done 53k miles and is 5 years old in October, but I am not taking any chances - I do drive it hard. I am considering having the Milltek exhaust with decat fitted and an ITG Maxogen induction kit fitted as well.

The other week a young chap asked me, whilst I was filling the Trophy with petrol, if he could buy my car. I said "no".

I was stopped by the Police today, shortly after leaving work. I was not speeding, using my phone or driving erractically. My car is insured, MOT'ed and I have just put four new tyres on it. I own it, it is taxed and I had not been drinking. So why was I stopped? Because the Policeman in...

Agreed.

£55? That's a bargain. I'm in the Midlands, but I'll travel. Let me think about it.

This will make you laugh/gasp: I have 0yrs NCB and I have made two claims in two years. I am 29 years old and I have no points to speak of, but nonetheless, my insurance premium went from £750 in 2009 to £1,750 in 2010 (because of a claim in 2009). That's with Direct Line. My 'best' offer...

I did not go off topic!!! I voiced my opinion about the issue - its an attack on motorists once again which is in fact a enviro-socialist attack on the middle classes. I assume you didn't read my original post. I was also making the point that not voting for Labour would be more poweful than...

Then having links to online petitions is a no-no then? It will encourage political discussion and air out political views and frankly this is not a bad thing. Politics and economics create the systems we all operate to and to not discuss them (regardless of how familar we are with each other)...

The proletariate do not make decisions; we vote for people to make decisions for us. Don't vote Labour and don't abstain from voting - vote Tory! Right wing thinking makes sense. This is yet again another example of Labour's socialist and eco-influenced views making middle class polluters...

He's mada; he doesn't care.

You're absolutely right! Mine just look aweful and I was convinced they would cause my car to fail its M.O.T. Unfortuately my front brakes failed me instead.

£99? That's a bargain! I'm going to get mine changed whilst they remain at that price.

Pay more for a Trophy and then pay some more to have the Sachs suspension rebuilt (if the previous owner hasn't had it done already). Then pay some more again and have fitted: braided brake lines, Mobil 5.1 brake fluid, Mintex 1144 pads and Brembo High Carbon discs (assumming the owner hasn't...

The A4069 is a great road partly because it's so well sighted, smooth and surrounded by stunning scenery and partly because it links two towns of little significance. It is therefore always quiet!

I had this problem and it turned out to the be the exhaust hieat shelid has 'bitten' through the washers.

Alternatively buy a new car and sell yours as a lemon.

Re: Renault Clio Trophy 2010 Calandar With reference to your title: do you know any other vowels? I will put forward 12 photos, one for each month.

I have owned a cupped 182, a standard 197 and a Trophy. The Trophy is by far the best handling, the stiffest and most fun to drive. Anyway... The Trophy is feeling fit as fu*k now the dampers have been refurbed. It feels brilliant. I have been testing its limits on empty roundabouts and I...

That's James Loose (aka InvaderZim) from the RS forum. The Sachs are not crap, but they are not the best you can possibly buy.

It's paranoia. The Trophy's stance is slightly forward.

I took them in Thursday the 1st October at 10am and they were ready by 14.30pm Friday the 2nd October.

Everyone wants a Trophy.

is Jenson Button undeserving of the World Championship? To me a world champion is always up there, gunning for podium places. Yes during the first few races he had a better aero package and trounced the competition, but in terms of out right talent Hamilton and Alonso have Button licked! Your...

oh...and if you want to be my friend, search for Alex Westworth. I am the only one on FB I believe.

Friend request sent with a filthy message - a picture of my dirty Trophy needing a clean by a bikini clad maiden.

Put it this way, by going private you meet the previous owner. Going through a dealer, you don't.

My fronts usually last 8k to 9k which is about 10 months worth of driving. The rears on the other hand have lasted 45k - I have checked the date on the tyre and they are October 2005 tyres! 11 months of driving is about right. It's a bugger the PE2s are so expensive. They're the best tyres...

The £583.20 included taking the suspension off and put it back on again. To be honest it's a bargain.

My Sachs have now been rebuilt at a cost of £583.20 (inc VAT) by BG Motorsport. A brilliant service, very quick turnaround and smiles all round. However, I am a little frustrated with Renault. Clearly, when deciding how to see off the 182 they saw 1000 or so Sachs suspension units and...

Why does -2.0 negative camber make a big difference? I am having my Sachs refurbed as I type and after I am having a four wheel laser alignment done. I would like to know the reasons for -2.0 when I tell the laserist to do it.
