Sorry for delay, just sent a pm requesting account details for my early birthday present:)

my all time fav pic from an old EVO mag

This sounds similar to mine the other night but mine went into limp home mode, I wonder if it could be your throttle body, I cleaned mine (easy to take off and clean with wd40) but the codes will still need erasing

Great idea, one for me please

That’s so cool, I’ve had mine from new at 110k it’s just run in

For me the best thing about the trophy was the accessible nature of its performance and handling on a country lane, that’s why I’ve kept mine, elevating those attributes takes it beyond me or the roads I drive on.

Yeah I found it interesting reading the thread, it’s gone a bit far for my tastes but I’ve never been on track with my trophy

Can’t be many of us one owners left

My mate has an original 172, always liked the gear stick on that, metal round

Just took delivery of two pilot sport 3’s from black circle.com £130 a tyre delivered in two days, just posting as I know these tyres can be hard to find.

Good news it opened this morning in the warmer weather, I think the cable has stretched to its limits so it’s something to fix/ adjust, but at lease I can fix the trickle charger now. :)

Hi both the inside lever goes all the way up, without popping the bonnet, I’m going to have another go when I have someone to hold it up while I bounce the bonnet, it’s going to be a right pain if it doesn’t budge

Hi all, my bonnet release has just broken, so can’t open the bonnet, anyone got any tips how I can get round that?

Still got mine from new :)

That would be a lot of fun for the money

Still struggling to locate this wiper linkage, lost a week dealing with a place that said they had it, paid, nothing came, refund, please drop my a message with any suggestions.

He said he’d been putting it right for a while, soon to come up for sale

I did notice in his stock he’s also got a 172 that’s sitting on trophy wheels, they must be hard to get now I’d have thought

https://www.cedarmotors.co.uk/cars/renault/clio/renaultsport/524594/ I was speaking to the garage owner yesterday (sourcing a part) he was saying he’d spent a few thousand on it, also has a spider. It’s where I got mine from

Wiper linkage broken, it’s getting harder to find parts to keep our pride and joys running, as this is common to all Clio’s of this age it didn’t occur to me it would be this hard to find, any tips or leads welcome

I voted (you can also vote more than once!) i thought the list was missing a lancia delta.

I use my trophy as my daily driver

Really enjoying the Clio as it clocked 100,000 miles, new bushes, spark plugs and its yearly oil change. I’ve had it from new and still love it’s zest for life on the country lanes near me. :)

I just thought I’d update this thread as it’s not gone as smoothly as I hoped. I had fitted a pair of new lower wishbones (ktech racing ones) they come with the bushes fitted. But the garage says they are incorrect and they have altered the tracking too much to be the correct part for the car...

Hi good idea, was that the 23mm or 25mm option your showing?

Thanks for that info I will check them out. Ta

Hi all I’m in the process of freshening up the suspension with new lower wishbones and bushes, I’ve just noticed powerflex offer inner anti roll bar bushes in 23mm and 25mm to fit 172/182 Clio’s anyone know what the trophy needs?

I had a ivory white RB5 back in the day, a guy at work had the 205 but the RB5 always had the edge if only for the yellow fog lights! I also had the little diahatsu GTTi with the 3 cylinder turbo engine, sounded great, very under rated car.
