    A good time to sell?!?

    No, not thinking of selling mine...but searched on Autotrader over the weekend, and there are 8 Trophy's for sale this week, what gives? :? I can't think of a worse time to get rid, spring brings the sun, grippy tarmac and dry night time driving, perfect Trophy conditions!

    Squeeking noise!

    Loud squeek coming from front of car. Seems to me it's coming from near side suspension. (pushing down rapidally on bonnet suggests this too!)More it's driven in one stint the worse it gets. Anybody had such problems? :roll:

    Thinking Of Getting One Of These Things

    Hello all, I'm David and I'm thinking of getting a Clio Trophy. :) I currently drive an Audi TT Quattro Sport (that I've only owned for six weeks!) and before that I had a Ford Focus RS. I keep reading about how great the Trophy is and it's gradually drawing me in. I suspect I could have a...

    Corners and warnings...

    My trophy repeatedly flashed up warning lights on the track, through a long left-hand hairpin. I can't say exactly which lights because I couldn't look at the dash for long enough, all I know is that it only happened in the one corner and one of the lights was a stop light. Come out of the...

    Three Wheels?

    Evo descrivbe the Trophy as 'the most fun you can have on 3 wheels' but my question is how do you get it on 3 wheels? Is it something that you should be able to do everyday or do you have to really push the car so much that you're very unlikely to achieve it safely on the road? Can you...

    Trophy in Gower

    Bought a new camera last week and tried it out in Wales at the weekend. God, there are some amazing roads there, if you can go in the week - do because the traffic is much lighter (virtually non-existent). The sunset pictures were taken at the top of Cefn Bryn, my favourite road in South Wales...

    Mud on wheels problem

    Odd one this but wondered if anyone has had similar? (I nicked my post of Evo forum for lunch break time save) Over the Christmas period Mario Kart was running fine and dandy, but I started to notice that a little bit of the steering feedback was gone when pushing on in the bendy bits. At...

    Trophy suspension settings

    Can anyone tell me the correct suspension settings for a trophy. F/R toe, Camber etc as I'd like to check all the settings on my car. I suspect the 60% worn tyres are contributing to the torquesteer, but would like to check before replacing them. Note that 7MAT seems to have increased...

    Janspeed exhaust unknown rattle... Help!

    My Janspeed which was fitted by Rentech about 3 weeks ago has developed a rattle. It started yesterday and sounds like metal tapping on metal. It happens at all speeds over 10 mph or so but is intermittent. Hard cornering in both directions evokes the rattle further. I took it in to Kwik Fit...

    06 Plate Trophy(s)

    I was under the impression that there was only one 06 plate Trophy in the country and that was number 500/500 which was held back to 1st March and given away in a prize draw (Autocar mag i believe) I have just been informed that this is not the only 06 plater around - just wondering if anyone...

    Trophy Damper Rebuilds

    So I was chatting with Bernard Olivier the CEO of Renault Sport at the weekend (as one does :lol: ) and he brought up the subject of the Trophy dampers. Apart from talking about how good they are he mentioned that the one negative is the need for them to be replaced / rebuilt more often...

    New tyres, front or rear?

    My fronts are going to have to be replaced in the next few hundred miles but I'm wondering whether people prefer putting new tyres on the back or front? One line of argument suggest they should go on the front as those tyres deal with power, steering and braking whilst others think new tyres...

    Help! Do we need camber bolts on the front?

    To all the guys who've had their alignment done... Did you need camber bolts on the front wheels? I am about to have mine dialled in with about 2.2 degrees of front camber but I am not too sure how much camber the front can adjusted utilising the stock suspension geometry. I understand...
