Hi all,
Just noticed the other day that my discs were VERY uneven. There are a lot of groves and this has made the braking squeek and braking hard very untrustworthy.
My question to you knowledgeable people is whether it's simply a case of replacing the discs & pads or is there something...
My car needs a new set of front pads. I've decided on buying Ferodo DS2500's but everywhere I look the prices seem so largely different.
The best price I have found so far is £99.98 for the pair. Does anyone know of any company that sells them cheaper or is this the best I'm really likely...
this is a group buy:
I need 9 others who want brembo max disks for their 172 or 182 - same disk.
Cost will be £76 including postage for both front disks.
First 10 to fill the list will grab a bargain, they normally retail for over £100.

not really a for sale as such - more of a group buy. I'm about to order some and I thought i'd see if anyone else want to order some. £9.2 for 1 litre. Same temp perameters as dot 5.1 but not as short a life or as thin - so less fade when and if....
Anyone else interested? There'd normally...
During service noticed inner edges of discs had rust build up, so do i replace with stock items or different??
Can get standard set up for £140.
Don't want anything too agresive or wheel lacquer eating as i use car everyday.
On CS they seem to rate 'green stuff' amongst many?

So having been on holiday driving hire cars for a couple of weeks, I came back and thoroughly enjoyed the chance to 'enjoy driving' again in my trophy - it was even more fun than I remembered (and interestingly having been away from it a bit in Punto's etc, the drining position actually seemed...
hi chaps
i will be the proud owner of trophy 291 tommorow.
i have recently sold my 182 cup to buy a trophy.
i am travelling to aberdeen in the morning to pick up 291 and then enjoy a seven hour drive back to brum. mrs thinks i'm mad but i think it is going to be fun.
will post up...
Having tried everything I can to find a way of keeping the Trophy, it's becoming clear that finances simply will not allow it. The new R26 is on it's way and should be here at the end of the month and therefore my pride and joy has got to find a new home.
I am the second owner of the car, it...
Havn't posted for a while but after searching the many posts on here and cs about brake upgrades, I plumped for the pagid blue rs 4.2 pads and new brembo high carbon disks.
I had them fitted at GDI last saturday (Thanks Andy & Mark) Their service and attention to detail was excellent. I...

Noticed rust ring round edge of disc, inside edge when changing wheels.
Don't want to severe set up, or anything thats going to destroy alloys :D
Been suggested to change pads & disc will clean up :?
Well, the time has come to part with my car. I am going to sell all of the items separately and then sell the car in 'stock' form at a low price.
I would like to sell the car in the first week of June which is when my insurance expires.
As such I am looking to have all parts available in...
Right well i havnt even bought a clio trophy but judging from the reviews on the morego 202, i plan to do this mod to my Trophy.
Opinions please as i know it is a limited edition model.
Would it affect resale in a bad way?
Also does it need mroe power?
Thanks
Greg
I was very excited to read about the new Japanese Civic type R. Apart from a boring 4 door saloon body, the prospect of 225 PS, 8,400 rev limit, reasonable torque, Brembo 4 pot callipers, 18" lightweight rims, gear type LSD, proper independent rear suspension etc was very tempting. Still not a...
Hi,
I currently own a 55 plate Renaultsport Megane 225 Cup. Although this is a great car l've a hankering after something smaller, namely a Clio Trophy. Based on this my Megane is for sale or p/x for a mint Clio Trophy.
Its a 55 plate 225 Cup (Genuine Cup) which is metallic blue, its also...
My trophy needs new pads and discs all round, I'm thinking of upgrading to some that feel more solid and that don't squirm under heavy braking as with the standard ones.......
I don't really know much about these things, anyone got any recommendations? Also, how does upgrading affect the...
Coming up for my 24K service and just wanted to know where people near me went. I live near stansted.
All I seem to hear is ren-tech, ren-tech, but there is no way im going to portsmoth to service my car! well maybe lol
Cheers
Whilst fitting my new Yozza Brembo / Ds2500 pack this afterrnoon, i thought it would be the perfect time to whip out my damper pins.
Quickly got the passenger side done, undid the grubscrew, levered the cap off, knocked the pin upwards and refitted the cap, hey presto!!
However, when i...
Hi All,
Just sold my VX220 for an impending house purchase, but now need a new car as well, and it has to be a Trophy. 15 years ago when I started driving I dreamt of that R5 turbo, but alas I could never afford it. Anyway I can now and the Trophy is todays version of that as far as I'm...
I have three Trophys available - all 55 plate and ranging from 12000m to 19000m (this 19k one was Sam from the forum's old car so has the Magnex exhaust, Powertec induction and Brembo/Ferodo/Braided hoses etc. upgrades). If you're considering a Trophy and have dropped by the forum for some...

when are these cars supposed to be out??
I saw a black one this morning whilst walking into work. It had either a demo plate or a foreign plate on it, couldn't really tell.
Looked nice, fairly aggressive but a bit too futuristic for my liking...very Astra VXR sort of look to it. Had 2 huge...
Quick update on this one:
- ITG Panel Filter done
- Cold Air Feed & Removal of acoustic valve (this to be followed by an ITG Maxogen at some point)
- Better Horn (something a kin to an alpine bus) bought, about to be fitted- Lightweight & Strong racing wheels – ET45, 15†or...
I have some very clean Clio Trophys in stock. Green slip through on car with cherished transfer so all available now. One is Sam's old car #449, taken back in p/x - it has the Brembo Discs, Ferodo pads and braided hoses upgrade plus a Powertec filter.
Cars priced from £11295, but some...
I have booked at trackday at Donington for Friday 6th April which involves 20 minute sessions every hour from 10-5 i think and then as its the donny show and as i am up there all weekend with mates, I have 3 other 15 minute sessions over the saturday and sunday.
Question is, how will standard...
Right, I'm just about to place my order for new front discs and pads, I've decided on Brembo High Carbon discs, as they are a cheaper and better alternative than the OE discs (which are often specified as these discs anyway), but after trawling through all the brake posts, I'm still bloody...
Car running on 15s with Toyo 888 track tyres and Brembo grooved discs at Mondello International Circuit.
Track was greasy and the Trophy was able to mix it with the quick stuff ie 111Rs and Exiges.
