drive

38 yr old here,just had our 1st child,a son born 3 weeks ago, so sold up my honda fireblade and e46 bmw 330ci, stashed the cash in the bank and realised i missed my old hot hatch days so grabbed a neat and tidy 172 sport in flame red. i adore the car,and am loving every moment of it. soon as im...

gooday, on the drive to work this sunny morning, makes a change not to be raining, at about twenty mins in the dash flashed up to new warnings 1. the service indicator 2. the traction controll triangle. i was atthe time just motoring down the M25 at 80 touch. when i stopped and restarted the...

In two minds really but let's see what happens... Renaultsport Clio 182 TROPHY No.49/500 I have come to the decision that after two and a half years it is time to sell my pride and joy and move up a step to a megane RS 250. I have owned the car for two and half years now and it has been...

93000 Looks to have full history Overall good condition. Alcantara door cards And xenons. ?

So, after a few months of owning my T I have fallen in love with it. I cant think of anything that comes close for the money. Im going to get mine booked in for a service soon and wondered what if anything would be good to get replaced/refreshed?Dont have to worry about dampers as they have...

I re-discovered Evo magazine’s raison d’être last weekend – the thrill of driving. I bought my Trophy (#23/500) in early December. Its one previous owner had serviced it regularly but in most other respects it needed a dose of TLC including: refurbished front dampers; new exhaust; rear...

Hi, Just thought I'd say hi. I've been on cliosport.net for a while but thought I'd join yours too. I don't have a trophy but I do have a 182 in petrol blue. Cheers P

2 x TOYO R888 GG compound Tyres Size 195 / 55 / R15 Both tyres are new they have been fitted to rims and now taken off again, they have not been driven on. Collection preferred from the Merseyside area £150.00 for the pair No offers, ive been buying a few of these tyres over the past few...

Well, it's time to clear out all of the stuff I’ve got kicking about (1 double length garage and 2x sheds worth). If you need it, chances are i've got it kicking about. All parts are from either a Titanium Ph1 172 with 85k, a Monaco Blue Ph2 172 with 72k, a or a Titanium Silver 182 with 58k on...

Sadly my car has had a bit of a knock tonight. Coming home from work tonight a fawn decided to play chicken with my car and unfortunately misjudged it a bit. Thankfully the little bugger was uninjured (really didn't want to have to put him down in the middle of the A4) but my car has come off...

It is with great regret I am putting up for sale my Renault Sport Clio 182 Trophy #248, due to a change in work circumstances and an increase in my commuting mileage. The car has served me faultlessly, it has been looked after and maintained with no expense spared, washed and waxed weekly...

Having been looking for another trophy for around a month now and there seems to be quite a few that still havent had the dampers re furbed yet. Just wondering how many on here are still running their cars without problems?

Hi Guys, My Trophy is not well. Had it since new with all required servicing and I was just arranging its 72k service when I noticed a new clicking sound coming from the engine. It is most obvious at more than 2500rpm, but can also be heard at idle. It changes (speeds up) based upon engine...

Hi, I'm selling my 2005 RenaultSport Clio 182. This car has only done 27441 miles and is in excellent condition. It has full service history(most with main dealer) and has had only 2 owners. Cleaned once a week and polished, and well looked after. The car had the timing/accessory belts and water...

So thought I'd buy an RSTuner, see what the fuss was about. TBH can't say I've noticed the kind of improvement some people talk of, I think its more of a placebo effect of thinking the car must be faster. Anyhow, did the long drive to Huddersfield and noticed my MPG at the end was 31. I do...

Hi all, Was thinking about buying a different car but now considering refreshing the Trophy and 205. Sachs damper refurb, tyres, brakes, remap and rs192 exhaust for the T. This month's Evo features a Pug1off 205 Gti which looks amazing. 195bhp 6 speed with brakes, suspension etc would cost...

Out for the first time since Aug 2011. The turbo was driven and is now getting taxed & insured for the summer Tomorrow is going to be a day of giving it a small clean and topping up any fluids and checking over it

Here are a couple of videos of my Trophy with the ITB's fitted. Sorry for the dodgy soundtrack on the second video. There was too much wind noise so I put a soundtrack over it. A bad one. LOL! :D Sound test: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P7WTDFS4POA Sunday drive...

Hi guys, I was wondering how many of you would recommend Sportlines over the stock trophy Eibach springs. I' d love to get some low but I'd never compromise handling for look. cheers Al

I am one of the people that mourn the loss of Pilot Exalto 2s. I know they do them in 195 50 15 V (at half the bloody price of 16s!) so wondered whether it might be an idea to run 15" wheels and have the benefit of cheaper (better?) tyres? Could there be other advantages such as lower weight...

Page 132 bottom of 2nd column. Suggests Mini's engineers should have driven a Clio Trophy and fitted Sach dampers if they were serious about the Coupe's sporting credentials...

i think i will be in need of some rear shocks soon. what's your thoughts on replacements? i was going to go for koni or original trophy sachs. i've been quoted £113 inc vat + postage for the trophy sachs and £93 inc vat + postage for Koni's. i am tempted by the £40 saving from the trophy...

One word... WOW!

Evening everyone. I've been umming and ahhing about selling the Clio for a while now, it's costing a fair bit to run which isn't great when I have another expensive hobby. So i've decided I should probably try to get a cheaper car that's as fun and although i've looked at MX-5s and the like...

Had my wheel done recently and here is the results.i decided to go for a more updated look with perforated side panels and removed the separate thumb grips but it still retains the original shape in this area. The thing is im not sure i like it, top quality job real italian leather and well...

Hi all, I'm a long time lurker on here, but have never posted anything. Having read the first Trophy reviews years and years ago, I knew I had to have one. A combination of uni, city living, finances and getting married have all slowed down the process. Until now. Money went down on a new T...

Im pretty new to all this clio stuff so please bear with me as im a bit thick when it comes to cars. I went to a ford rolling road day to help a good mate make up the numbers and my trophy ran 196BHP. Its a 55 plate and as i understood it completely standard. The place i went too were full of...

Hi all, I don't drive my T throughout the winter and over this period of time I SORN it off the road. My T is still off the road in my garage and has not been started up or moved in over 5 months. I'm worried that leaving the engine off in the same position over this length of time will cause...

I have posted below a link to pistonheads for a megane being sold by a good friend of mine. (Mods - Cue, ben, renaultsport etc, please let me know if its not ok to reproduce an ad for someone else. Thanks) http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/3722349.htm I have personally driven this car quite a...
