cornering

Well as some of you will know I have just got my new trophy last week (no 451) and thought I would take it to Cit-Ren in Norwich for a checkover and to get some little jobs doing , door switch failed etc etc. Well I got a nasty surprise , the former keeper has replaced the front Sachs dampers...

Hi I have recently received my dampers back from Simon @ Cornering Force in Yorks. I have had several phone conversations with him, mithering him with questions and understanding what happens and what to expect. For background, he is a very knowledgeable chap and is involved in the Amd Golf...

Hi. I have been having a few problems while driving like country type of Roads not been impressed by the handling of my car :-( I began to realise something ain't right coz ma old 182 handled better than this. Which isn't right. Anyway cut a long story short. I pushed down on the front...

Hello Cliotrophy.co.uk :) This is my first post on the forum so ill try keep it relatively short! I'm currently on the hunt for my second trophy. I sold my First Trophy roughly a year ago and miss it like mad! I'm a massive Honda man so have always had those as a rule but the clio just won me...

Can somebody please report back on the following: Driving straight ahead at 60+ MPH using small movements of the wheel around the centre is there much "feel/feedback"? I have had lots of work done on curing a wandering/tramlining problem which is now sorted and the handling/steering feel is now...

Afternoon all, some of you from a certain other clio "forum" may well recognise my name. Well I'm fed up with talking to children and being moderated by children so I've transfered across to a hopefully more mature audience. I've been floating about on here for a while without posting, and I am...

does anyone have any more news on the JMS RS2, i have one fitted, are people still having problems mine's only putting out 180bhp instead off the 190ish promised, spoke to an rs tuner and he said he could have got 180 with a remap which is exactly what he did with his brothers car and it was...

I have had two Trophys both which have done this. When parking and wheels near full lock the steering wheel becomes light and wants to go onto full lock its self as if the wheels are tilted over. Also if the road is wet the T front tires slip very easily when turning. It never bothered me as i...

hi all. new to trophy/182 ownership. iv been in clios for the last 14-15 years or so and loved every minute of it so far. 1 thing i miss tho.....the adjustability of the car mid corner playing with the throttle. iv been told the whiteline arb will go some way to help correct this. whats the...

Apologies for bringing this up again but the recent spate of comments on suspension has prompted me to post. As I see it there are three options for replacing Trophy rear dampers: a) 182 Cup dampers (£65ish) b) Renault/Sachs Trophy-specific dampers (£115ish) c) Koni adjustable dampers...

Hi Guys, My front right shock is abit bouncy so think I might need a refurb soon, so planning on taking both the front sachs off and selling them. The other two are amazing, however my brother got the back left SACHs replaced with a standard shock. So I have 3 of the sachs left. Was planning on...

Hi guys, I have been looking at these on a group buy over on Clio Sport and wondered what everyones thoughts were? I use the Trophy for fast road use and 4-5 track days per year. I was wondering:- - Will they make much of a difference or are the just a bit of a gimmick? - Are these the best...

I'm getting really irritated by the seat position in the T. The recaro's are not height adjustable like my 1.2 seats were. The steering wheel is as high as it will go and still my hand bashes my leg and gets in the way during sharp cornering. Has anybody come across a way to lower the seat...

Over the last 3/4 weeks I've been having a handling problem with the Trophy. Everything felt fine until I entered a left hand bend and I would turn the wheel but instead of turning in sharply the car would take a very wide path no matter how much I turned the wheel. I checked the tyre pressures...

Good day chaps! My recent MOT revealed a leaking driver's side damper. So it's my intention to whip the shocks off, send them to BG for refurb, off which i have just emailed. Just a note, I emailed Mark Fish first, who basically said use BG as they have the market covered for this job. While...

Hi folks, I know there have been several threads on this topic and I have also looked on cliosport. I had been thinking I would get new ball joints without the wishbone and fit them to my trophy and at the same time fit uprated poly bushes to the wishbone. After reading on cliosport the...

Ok so there is only a paragraph on the Trophy in the new Evo magazine so probably not worth buying if you're not a regular reader, but they list 6 giant killing road cars which the Trophy tops with a closing comment of "It's our ultimate giant-killer" It's a good day to be a Trophy owner!

I've recently had my dampers re-furbished with BG Motorsport and had them fitted earlier this week. I know the ride is firm, but I certainly don't remember it being this harsh; I can feel even the tiniest of bumps in the road and it's bone shaking to say the least. Another thing I've noticed...

OK, so last night i got the Geo done by a mates garage. Yes, they are a bodyshop, but when you are the authorised repairer for Lotus, Aston, Ferrari, Lamborghini & Pagani, you probably know how to set up a clio lol ... So, effectively, since we fitted the front suspension, the Toe has been out...

Ok, so i dont normally whore, but thanks to James (JMS) and Mike (FailSport) last night, the TroFail is now finished. I'm sure a few of you will have read my project thread, & i'll update that with more info than in here, but chuffed isnt the word, it drives brilliantly & looks ruddy lovely imho...

As new condition. 2010/10 Plate Renaultsport Clio 200 with Cup Chassis in Albi Blue Metallic. Only 1150 miles and one enthusiast owner. Factory upgrade: Lightweight Recaro Seats, Rear Privacy Glass, Speedline Lightweight Alloys in Black, GT Rear Spoiler, Dedicated Cornering Lights, Electric...

Has anyone attempted to use a bike rack on the trophy. I am a little concerned at the pressure it will put on the rear spoiler. i have one of those strap type versions that you fit/hook around the boot area. Previous vehicle I could fit the strap underneath the spoiler, the trophy you cannot...

I want the Stig to put a trophy round top gears track !!

My Trophy - #433 **Warning essay content** Having now owned the Trophy for 6 weeks & 3k miles, i thought i had better put a little thread up about it ... Basically, since October last year, id been rolling around in a Golf Gti Edition 30, which really wasnt to my taste & did shoddy mpg...

I appreciate that this is a Trophy board and most of you guys got that funky Sachs stuff going on. Just bought a 172 last week and loving it, apart from the mech gremlins. Gearbox 2nd gear synchro issue, t/belts etc Anyway..... Under hard acceleration, say from 2nd to 3rd, i hear something...

Spoke to Mark yesterday as i'm keen to purchase some of his stuff in the next couple of months. Whilst i was on the phone i thought it would be best to ask about a group buy - he seemed to think that 10% off would be ok for 10 confirmed orders. But im sure we could get something for 5 as well...

My 200 with Cup chassis. It's Pearl White btw - went for the Black/White combo. Like it a lot :D Totally different to the T. More comfortable, not as fast top end (but it's only on 800 miles so not loosened up yet). The cornering however is unbelievable. Feels different to a Trophy but does...

hey ok so i have a question, the trophy has great handling no? that was the point. so why is the 'logo' picture in the top corner got a whole load of body role would another pic not be more appropriate ? tell me to shut up if im wrong, it just seems a bit odd thats all. only food for thought...

I've resently aquired a clio trophy No. 131 the last coupe of times i have been out as I reverse off of the drive there is a slight clonking noise a bit like a drive shaft also when cornering on bumpy roundabouts the front seems to rattle. I have spoke with K-Tec about there bolt in top mounts...
