circuit

Hey 8) I had my first track day on Monday and loved it! :D :D I was terrified at first but soon settled in after a couple of laps. BRAKES: When I first went out I managed 4 laps and had to pull into the pits as I was experiencing a little brake fade and wanted to check tyre pressures...

Like many at Castle Combe's Action Day last weekend, we had a very enjoyable day out and made the most of the sunny weather. Our stand was again a mixture of various makes and models but we did have a couple of RenaultSport Clio's on show - including my own Trophy. During the day it was great...

Hi guys, I thought I'll put a little update on what I brought after selling trophy 383 to 'jh106'. I searched high and low for a decent one and eventually one turned up and there were only 4 of these in the country at the moment... so I couldnt miss out! Its a 2004 JDM Honda Civic Type R...

I'm heading up there this weekend for a long weekend with the GF. Anyone know of any decent roads around there that I may accidentaly have to take a de-tour too... :wink:

OK - It's easy so I won't even post the question - maximise the photo to have a good look then complete the answer: The wheels in the photo are ****** ** *** **** ****. Just to assist - I got my track wheels/Tyres Speedline corse 2118's 15 inch rims with Toyo R888 GG (195/50/15). Tried...

Bottom of the page (3) a little vid from yesterdays trackday (my first in the T) taken from a Clio 197 (or 200 - I'm not sure) a bit damp but not too slippy. I slowed at the end to cool the brakes before coming in - not a breakdown! 8) http://lotus.ze-forum.com/t481-RESUME-A ... m?start=30

Hi all, I currently drive a DC5 which I'll shortly be selling. One of my reasons for selling is the suspension which, though wonderful on smooth roads, is an absolute nightmare on my daily commute due to the quality of the roads near me. After 18months of ownership I'm ready to move on. I...

Morning all :) just a quick thread to ask a simple question, this might make for an intersting read, if the answers provided are conclusive and factual, as much as i enjoy opinions everyone has one, so facts only please. For all you who have had rolling road read outs, what do you actaully...

Ok, there's good news and bad news. I'll start with the good, so I can delay the inevitable lol. I LOVE these tyres. I fitted them at the beginning of December. I've used them through snow, ice, rain, you name it. They start well from cold for a track tyre. A bit of wheel spin in snow and ice...

Hello CT :D Recently I have been getting 24 mpg so I thought something must be up with the car. I had a look at the tyres a couple of days ago but they all looked find, today however, I thought I would check the pressures to make sure they were ok as ive not checked them for a couple of...

Hi fellas After selling my Trophy I bought a 172 cup to build into a sprint and hillclimb car. I may have posted this elsewhere but cant remember (must be my age!) Heres the link to my blog. Any questions post it here! http://w193tfvhillclimbcar.blogspot.com/ :D

Hello :D . Are there any specific requirements for track day helmets? I have a decent motorbike helmet but not sure that it will be allowed? Thank you. Ben.

who drives with it on and who drives with it off and why?

My Girlfriend has bought me a pair of Sabelt 3 Point bolt in Harnesses for Christmas so ill have a go at fitting them over the holidays. I just want to know what you guys did to stop the seatbelt beep noise going off. I think the options are to either source a seat belt clip from another clio...

2 of my element lines appear to have packed up, it's not a major worry as they're out of my line of sight but still annoying! They were working last week and haven't been touched etc. Does anyone know if they're repairable or will I need a new window? Or are they just part of that whole french...

SharkyUK's RenaultSport Clio 182 Trophy My RenaultSport Clio 182 Trophy is a limited editon model (with only 500 having been made) and the following images and narrative depict my ownership and experiences with this fantastic hot-hatch. Service History and Maintenance A few details of the...

Hi, Has anyone fitted an LSD to there 182? or any other type of diff. Would it be worth fitting an LSD to a 182? Imagine an LSD on a trophy! putting its power down! 8)

Thy hallowed day will be Thursday 19th November. He will be removing and refitting too. Apparently the quickest turn around he can do is the following afternoon, as he has to spray loctite over it and let it sit overnight. I'm having new adjusters too, as when the pin is removed, the shaft the...

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...

Are they any good in the corners compared to the T? I was all over him just pootling really and he was having a hard time going straight (was damp/wet). So much so I thought I would leave him to it.

Short video of an evening trackday at a very wet Anglesey circuit. Little clio performed faultlesly again :D http://www.vholdr.com/node/45250

for one reason or another, i wont bore you with the details I've had to buy 4 brand new PE2's to be fitted this friday. i have Trax sunday and have bought track time. can i run brand new rubber round a track or will i just shred them?

It was 2 years to the day since I got my hands on the keys to Trophy #185 from auto village garage in Cheltenham. So what better way to mark the 2 years than with a track day around my local circuit :lol: As usual the little red car performed faultlessly throughout the day :D even with the...

Clio Trophy parked between Llanfaelog and the ty croes circuit on Anglesey? Passed on my way to the circuit

Dealers seem to be heavily discounting the 200 CUP... Lookers Chelmsford have a new one with 1mile on the clock in blue, reduced from £15750 to £12,995. This might be of particular interest to you Rich :wink:

I have a week of work soon, so I was thinking of getting the front dampers refurbished. However, having seen a new suspension setup on another car (more in a minute), I want to do some suspension mods at the same time. Ok, in my opinion, The car is far too soft, more so at the rear. This is...

Hi I spent the last weekend some lovely day in UK. I have visited the festival of speed at goodwood circuit on 3/4/5 july, I saw a UK clio trophy too :) so if you are interested I have published about 600 pics on this gallery http://gallery.oxygraphix.ch/festivalofspeed09 Unfortunately...

I thought i'd give this a whirl on here rather than Cliosport, seeing as i know i'll be bombardered by answers like "Its your Tdc sensor" Now i'm not saying it isn't that, but i'm looking for someone to answer who has been through the exact same problem :wink: Turn on ign, everything lights...

Clio 172 & 3 or 4 R26R's at Donington. Sorry had to dash but wifey was getting a kitchen designer out & didn't want any huge shocks :lol:
