Amazing isn't it. A friend of mine killed at least three between 17 and 20. One was his Grandmothers if I recall. Another sad story, a friend was given his mothers Morris Traveller, they were like a timber framed house, at 17, we put it in a ditch and twisted the chassis; shameful. Yes, I...

Well, one could say they are likely to be the more wealthy, comfortable and discerning of the populace. Welcoming and generous might follow. Then again, have you ever met an angry Cotswold landowner with a shotgun? Get orrf moy land! This dent wizard guy sounds like one for the address book...

cliosport.net dude. You'll find all the entertainment you need there. This forum will probably be a touch boring in the engine conversion department. Try these for the difference in models: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renault_Clio http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renault_Clio_Renault_Sport For...

I think they will keep their value, relatively speaking, yet this will be over a long time period. Therefore they will need to be kept near standard, low mileage, well maintained etc. As there were only 500 imported the more crashed and molested will improve values. A Williams is worth £5k as...

Have a look at this thread. £85 + VAT. According to some. If the link doesn't work the thread is called 'Eibach Trophy spring numbers' and was started by Trophy237 viewtopic.php?f=2&t=10539&hilit=springs

Wasn't there a thread about being able to get the OEM springs from Renault for silly money (cheap)? Something about Renault quoting a price on the correct part number at a lower price than a 182 Cup spring(s). The thread may have been about the correct part number as there seemed to be some...

Arm of bracket that holds the ECU, behind battery, cracked between the securing position on wing and main ECU bracket. Bracket replaced under warranty and a larger washer than standard fitted to ensure it is better supported and shouldn't break again. Took Renault three attempts to order the...

From today's online Daily Telegraph: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/motoring/pic ... ml?image=3 The link to the piece on the home page uses the photo of the Trophy with Alonso to tempt you in to read it. Does that mean the writer thinks the Trophy is the best I wonder? Or is it just a better photo...

6.1.06 - 12,460 miles 9.3.06 - 24,320 miles 5.5.06 - 35,686 miles 24.7.06 - 47,854 miles 26.9.06 - 60,094 miles 11.12.06 - 71,846 miles Blimey, that's someone doing nearly 6,000 miles a week in 12 months. Whoever had it from new must have been a serious road pounding sales rep. That or they...

Thanks Hoolio. Stong price, strong as in good, not strong as in expensive; IMHO. Yes Sam, I presumed so. It's quite handy when the ads stay up a while post sale. Sellers prerogative to remove it once car sold of course.

Does anyone remember how much it was advertised for? The link to Pistonheads Classifieds now just takes you to the general adverts page, not the specific advert for this Trophy. Some adverts stay on the site for a while after the vehicle has been sold, seems this one vanished as fast as it was...

Has to be Silkolene ProS 5W-40 now TITAN Pro Race S 5W-40 for me too. Used it for nearly ten years in road cars and rally. Not had a single oil related issue yet, touch wood. Very similar characteristics to Motul 300V, both true fully synthetic esther based oil, not a drop of 'mineral oil' in...

Slightly more back on topic. John is asking £8,800 on this forum. As of four days ago, possibly the same car, was put on PH for £9,000. The description is nearly exactly the same, so is the mileage, so is the name John as the advertiser. The more observant of you will note that the link posted...

I had a 1294cc Rallye from almost new, still have it. Also owned two rally prepared Rallye's and the ex girlfriend had one; so I know them quite well. I think I also gave a similar view on this topic before, have a look at old posts. I like you thought about the 172 Cup, but didn't get around...

Yep, would definately want a set on the front. Really stops the stone chipping on rear arches in front of rear wheels and keeps sills in far better condition. Never been a fan of mud flaps on rear, unless regulations stipulate (rallying). I don't think they reduce the dirt on the rear much, as...

Look at this thread: viewtopic.php?t=1461&highlight=floor+mats It was started by Steve a moderator. Check the Autostyle mats with Trophy embroidered and the car number about halfway down the thread. Too large a photo but you can see what you need to see with a bit of scrolling. I went for the...

Saxperience: One or two cells evolved beyond an amoeba, I'm sure the simian gene is stong. The sickers would be likely to enduce vomiting in most mortals.

Generic answer, pointed at no one. Apologies in advance; feeling zero love for this type of body kit insanity. Elia kit, PATHETIC BOLLOC*S. Thinking of buying? Save up and buy a 20 year old Mini or Fiesta, G or F reg will do, learn to have fun driving properly trying not to put them the wrong...

Trophy 110, search the forum for a thread called 'mats'. I got a pair of these as well. They are excellent and better than OEM ones if you ask me. The thread covers where to get them, colour combinations, what type to order from manufacturer. It was about £75 for front and rear with Trophy and...

Don't all shout, moan, abuse and threaten to kill at once, but I've been wondering what the T would look like wrapped in matt black. Put some Trophy stickers back over the wrap and off you go. As it would be matt black the Turini's would suit it too. They don't seem to look that good when paired...

Oh dear. Love the grammar and composition in the advert. Looks like the front bumper was changed pre or post accident as the plastic blanks are not there (or have been sprayed over). That might have something to do with the lights being non standard, whether Xenon or otherwise. To my eye the...

Interesting Mat. I expect when Uniroyal was sold the owners split the brand rights by geography; Michelin purchasing N. America and Continental Europe. It seems that it's slightly more complicated, the heritage of Uniroyal in Europe with Continental being longer than with Michelin in N...

The Pirelli website lists their winter Sottozero being available in 205/45 R16. The speed rating is 'only' H though, but that's 130mph (210kph) and few people will be going that speed in winter. Pretty unlikely in summer too. The T would be close to the redline and rattling like marble in a can...

Take a look at slide 19 of 20 for the whole brand portfolio. http://www.michelin.com/corporate/front ... 11&lang=EN Depending on the page the link takes you to (if it's not direct to presentation), select the 'identity card' presentation of the four available, then page 19. Brands listed are...

Uniroyal are a Michelin brand, so unsurprising that they are quite handy tyres.

If it's on wooden blocks this doesn't matter, but if it's still on it's wheels don't apply the handbrake. They seize on and can cause a nightmare. I have two cars in storage and have used this cover company. One in dry covered storage, the other outside. http://www.classicadditions.com/...

Vamos, Luke, Spank-it, thanks for your views. It seems unanimous across the only respondents that winter tyres are a good idea. I was hoping that all the marketing hype was going to have some level of truth, and you guys seems to provide some weight to the winter tyre proposition. Finding the...

Has anyone contemplated using them? If so, what brand and size? Also would they actually provide better grip than the PE2's in winter? I was looking at UK mean maximum temperatures from October to April, and between at least November to March temperatures should be highly suitable for winter...

This will be the auction related to the guy that was asking us all about whether he should take the insurers offer, repair the Cat D himself, or break it for parts. If I remember correctly he was very disappointed by the offer from the insurers. Looks like he took it in the end. Can't remember...
