Evening all!
Been on holiday in the States for a fortnight, and I've only just had time to sit down and go through all the posts since I went away - You lot have been busy! :lol:
Just got to quickly say how much I love my Trophy! As soon as I got home, I made my excuses to the missus...
I don't want to spoil this for anyone who hasn't got issue 99 yet, but the Renault 230 Megane Renaultsport F1 Alonso Special 2nd Win Team is shaping up very well indeed.
If I was looking for a large hatch this would be my choice, even over a Focus RS. I fucking hate the stickers though, as do...
What's the most anyone's had out of their Trophy? A friend recently borrowed mine and said he took it up to 155mph with his dad in the passenger seat and felt like it still wanted to go even faster! I know the speedometer reads 160mph but I found this hard to believe as the spec notes top speed...
As the title says :( - probably the V6 too :cry:
As some of you know, I'm traveling between the UK and North America twice a week at the moment - I only come back to the UK to see my wife and kids. Anyway, I'm thinking about moving them over to the states with me full-time for the next 12...

My sister is selling her beloved mr2 as she has a baby on the way, thought i'd put it on here just in case anyone was after a fine example of a cracking little roadster.

Spotted a Trophy this morning in the City Centre, Newarke St/Welford Rd area. Ring + ClioTrophy stickers.
Have seen you a couple of times before but this time you skipped round me in traffic :wink:
05/05 6,300m.
Bought Aug 06, now the second owner.
Got used to the 'tomato' now, handling is out of this world on my way to work down wet, greasy b roads.
Treated it too, ITG, boot net & shelf (bloody great) spare turini, silvervisions, soon to have wiper arm mod & lube & filter change.
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...
So what have you got? Cash burning hole in pocket, happy to travel (reasonable) distance from Milton Keynes/Aylesbury area this coming Friday & Saturday.
172 Cup owners, should I save a pile of cash & buy yours instead of a trophy? (nothing modified please)
Bah, Humbug! First day I get to drive the Trophy in a week, girlfriend at a Christening, Sunday morning and it's a fooking monsoon out there! Instead I'm stuck indoors on the blinking internet. I'm emmigrating and taking XOG with me.
Hello im new to this site I'm a member on the cliosport forum I currently own a low milage mk1 clio v6, im looking to sell it pretty soon had a few offers around £11.5- 12K, ive been drawn between two cars for a while now, one is trophy, because i love clios and i get the feeling the trophy...
My V6 has finally arrived and looks really nice on the driveway along with the Trophy - trouble is deciding which one to drive now!
The V6 is a mint ex-RUK car which has been stashed away for ages and even after me doing loads of miles today going up and down the country, it has still only...
As posted before i'm about to buy a Trophy and have been trying to look ahead a year or two and see what the Trophy is likely to be worth and how the introduction of the 197 Cup or Trophy might affect its values. In the end i've ended up with more questions than answers and simply havent been...
Righto, as some probably already know, there are 7 '06 registered V6 255's in the UK. Renault UK have decided to sell off one of them. Its an 06 plate obviously and its in an ultra rare Moonlight blue, which to my knowledge is number 001 of 001. In other words the only one in the country...
you waved to me this morning, you were heading towards Hockley Heath at around 8am
appologies for not waving back, i was lighting a fag at the time!
(Black V6)
After some advice on behalf of a friend who got charged with drink driving last night.
Has anyone on here ever been in this situation or know of anyone who has? If so what was the outcome?
He knows he has messed up, and fully accpets that he should not have been out driving. He's never...
I am considering buying a second hand 993 as a weekend car (or perhaps as a daily driver and turning the Trophy into a weekend car). Something with around 30-50k miles on it.
Has anyone had any experience owning a 993 (or the previous model) in the past? I'm interested even if you've driven...
took the 197 round cadwell yesterday and to be fair I can't say a bad word against it.
I thought it was a bit slower than the Trophy but the chassis and brakes possibly egde it, if it was only lighter with 200+ bhp. Then it would be a dilema.
very impressed. I was expecting to say the...
Just fitted Brembo High CArbon disks with Pagid RS42 pads braided hoses and 5.1 dot.
took a day to bed in did disks first with 3 lots of heat treat with full cool down and then 10x 90 Mph stops to do the pads till fade.
Bite is great now and the extra G you get when stopping make you...
Another dozzy question that wont concern most people, but i was thinking about g40steve's (hi) comment "have you run it in yet" and having only done 3k from new i don't consider it to be properly run in. When i bought it they advised that i should change the oil at 4k-to get rid of any crap in...
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...
