By Rex, This is a piece I'm about to submit to Auto-Journals: Three RenaultSport cars in eight months: whilst that statistic may appear to be the symptom of a depreciation junkie, in truth it is my car history since September 2007. Ownership of my first Renault Sport, an Arctic Blue...

Have just spoken to Rentech in Portsmouth about my Trophys hard ride. I love the car but using it every day, sometimes its just too hard. They have said that they can remove the pins from the dampers which will make the ride softer, however they have not had any feed back from the few trophys...

A few pics my mate took of mine and my mates cars over the weekend: Some of the sessions were dangerously wet, and a couple were bone dry...all i will say is R888's in wet...not overly dangerous, R888's in dry transform the car! brothers evo 9 with friend mk1 172: mine...

Thought I'd visit the site again as I keep seeing someone's Trophy whilst on the train.....brought back memories. It's been almost a year and a half since my Trophy got written off and I've since sold my Focus RS as I got bored of it and got a new toy :twisted: Check out the pics, what...

Time for a tyre change, any recommendations as to where i can find the cheapest Exalto's? Cheers

I'm selling my Renault sport clio 182 Trophy, I feel the need for a GTR.. :twisted: *** £8995 ono *** 55 Plate 42.5k with full service history tax until end march 08 Warrenty until Oct 08 First mot due Oct 08 Fitted with Magnex cat back system Whiteline rear ARB Whiteline...

driving my car this evening it felt a bit odd - like the front right suspension was muchsofter than the left. When I got out of the car and checked, sure enough it is much easier to push down one side of the car when you stand at the front and lean on the headlight. I can wobble the offside...

I'm getting my geometry fine tuned within next couple of weeks. I'm yet decided if I'm going to go for -2 camber or just optimise/correct the factory settings. Does anyone know what the factory camber/toe settings should be exactly?

Hi all, I had 218 for just over a week and enjoying every moment of it. I had a Clio 172 previously a few years ago so have an idea of Clio ownership. In between then an now had an Audi A4 1.8T Quattro and a BMW325i but needed something smaller and a little cheaper to run and of course to have...

hi... just had 2 new exaltos fitted to the front of #356....... but the steering does not feel right. when im up to speed 30mph+ the steering his fine..... nice and weighty. But when im below 30mph+ and especially when im just moving the car i get no weight or feel...... it feels like im...

I know this has been visited many times but I'm looking for some new brake discs and pads. Not fussed about track use, just want a good road set. They've got to be good from cold, not mark my alloys, no noise and I don't want to change the brake hose etc. I'm keeping it simple. Any ideas, plus...

This afternoon, heading into Dukes Court Car Park... female driver?? It was quite amusing, I was just explaining to my girlfriend exactly why I want to trade up from my 182FF...'and also, there's only 500 of them so it'll be a bit exlusive'... then this red tomato comes round the corner!!

Ello all, Well I'll do a brief intro to me ..then get to the point! 1st rung on the Clio ladder was a used 51 reg 172 and I loved it! But because I read EVO magazine, and am swayed by their road tests... I traded the 172 for a brand new 172 cup. I had the 172 Cup for about 2 years...

I'm just wondering for those people that have gone from 182/172 variants to the Trophy if you notice the Trophy is snappier? I'm still not fully use to mine due to the conditions and lack of opportunities to really test the handling. I've noticed you need to work harder to keep the Trophy in...

Is it possible to do a straight swap for the FF's interior light, which (I believe) has a map light built-in to it? I'm doing a navigational rally tomorrow night and have just had to rig up a load of cardboard and masking tape to shield the light from my side of the car... :lol: If anyone...

Hi all, I have always upgraded brakes on my cars, as I think that it improves the car is so many ways for swift b road trips and track days and I have always been disappointed in the Trophy’s braking performance, but other people seem the be fairly pleased with them as a standard...

For those of you who have not been put off by the C.S. group buys; This looks good http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=295402 For those creaky joints. And also http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=295387

Finally managed to get round to putting up some pics of my new front setup. Looked through pratically every single post on the net about RS front brakes and decided to get the Brembo Max's coupled with DS2500's. I've fitted brakes before to my old Golf MK4 and a Alfa GTV so thought the...

Has anyone got any info on how the warrenty works with regard to parts? Just want to know what to say if they say, they cant give me a new driveshaft because it has a non standard air freshener or something lol

Nipped out today at about 2 o'clockish, just to go to the shops. So the tyres didn't have any time to warm up (engine running at full temp), anyway i was just coming up to a roundabout to double back on myself, went in to the roundabout nothing crazy normal speed and the car just started goin...

Evening all! :) Well it's been a whle since my last post..but it feels good to be back trawling the boards! Number 351 is now sporting a lovely set of Yoko Parada's (perfectly in time for winter! :roll: ) and although they've only been on for 500 miles, initial impressions are good...

On the way back from the caravan (lake district) today i dediced to go back via hartside pass instead of the boring A66! Its the first time i've really had chance to use te car as it should be! can't believe how great it handled the twists, turns and hair pins! It was a much better experience...

Had a bit of spare time on my hands yesterday so took the Clio out for a blat last night. After a while turned the ESP off. Wow! Transforms the car! Acceleration has more bite as does the handling. The car is brilliant without the Esp on. Just shows how well sorted the chassis set up...

OK, have been lurking for a while and am ready to buy a car, I have 8k to spend ready in the bank so really I expect I am looking at a 182 with Cup Pack(s) but I thought I would try on here to see what a Trophy goes for nowdays. I am not after a flaming for insulting the value of the Trophy...

Need 4 new tyres, couple of quick questions please folks; Is it best to stick with the exaltos or are the PS2s better or any other worth considering ? What should I be looking to pay, all fitted ? Last set did 13k - is that high/low/normal would you say ?

I know a couple of people here run 15s for the track. What wheels are they and what weight are they per corner? Also what Tyres are you running? My current line of thinking is to buy some 15inch Corse's and put some R888s on.

Has anyone ever modded the passenger window electrics to have auto wind like the driver-side? Presumably it's just a case of ordering the box of tricks that does it for the driver-side (as long as it's not part of some larger system), finding somewhere to hide it and wiring it into the loom...
