    Your Greatest Mechanical Failures.

    I'm sure most of you attempt or have attempted to carry out work on your own car before, mechanical minded or not. I for one have very little experience working on cars but can't resist having a go with a 'how hard can it be attitude'. As of yet I haven't caused any major damage (touch wood)...

    The answer to my handling problem...

    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...

    Front Suspension Overhaul

    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...

    Ball Joints or wishbones

    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...

    Hi there

    Hi, Newbie just signing on and wanted to introduce myself. I'll be on the lookout for a Trophy or possibly a 182 with both Cup packs and recaros as a daily driver. I have a S1 Elise for the weekend, although I'm expecting that if what I read about the Tropy and 182 is right, I might be using...

    Replacment Spring

    Tonight I was looking at my Trophy and something wasn't right with the stance, jacked it up to find the driver side front spring broken. Somehow it had managed to break and go under the upper half??? So the car sits higher on that side now :? Before I phone Renault tomorrow I was considering...

    Trophy # 226. £6000 ONO

    Sadly the time has come to part company with my much loved Renaultsport Clio Trophy. It is build number 226 of the 500 that were released in the UK and has just over 54,000 miles on the clock. This will creep up as the car is in daily use It has a full service history and benefits from a very...

    Trophy for me

    Hi - I'm looking for a Trophy, preferably low mileage (under 50k), with dampers refurbed. I have a very low mileage (30k) 106 S2 Rallye that I could px if interested. Thanks

    Nice

    Just wondered is the same rubbish that was on ebay a while back? I don't think it's worth 5,500, in my opinion, what does anyone else think? Probably worth that much to someone who has never heard of a trophy. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/2005-RENAULT-CLIO ... 519wt_1139

    Ride Quality

    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...

    Does the rear beam need refurbishing in Trophies?

    As above. In 205 Gti's it is something that needs to be done at some point as the trailing arms wear out where the bearings sit, as a result they pit and you get negative camber and the beam is not workign as it should. I know the design between the 2 cars is different though as the 205...

    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 ...

    Dilemma of which Renault sport, post your experiences

    Hi, I test drove a Megane 250 Cup and Clio Sport 200 back to back today and I can't decide which is better. The car will mainly be a daily driver with occasional trackday use. The handling of both is great but the Megane might be a better car to live with day to day (if only it looked better)...
