    Geo / Alignment Done

    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...

    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)...

    Springs/Damper Settings/Tyre pressures

    Just got myself a Trophy which has the Mark fish springs and koni rear shocks. Have played around with the settings on the shocks and as recommended elsewhere on here have set the rears at 1 and a quarter off full soft and the fronts at 22 clicks. I do a lot of road miles and am finding the...

    What a joy!

    Drove 110 this weekend for the first time since November and its like having a new car all over again! Simply a sublime motor; handling, acceleration, sound, driver involvement, phenomenal! No real point to this post, just thought I'd share my Trophy enthusiasm! :D Now washed and tucked up...

    Help please with buying a Trophy

    I've just been out and had a test drive in my first Trophy today. Unfortunately, I didn't note what number it is. Quick questions. 1-we have 3 auto cars at the moment and haven't driven a manual for a while. The clutch engaged/disengaged cleanly but did seem a bit heavy. 2-the steering wheel had...

    Trophy Oil Consumption

    Hi all, Have had 2 services since I owned the T on 24k and 35k using 5W40 Elf oil. After having the last oil change the car has now covered 37k and is already low on oil. Not sure if it has been topped up fully but imagine it would have been. Car is used 5 days a week for 60 mile commute...

    Hello

    Am soon to be the owner of number 25 - next week! It'll be used as a daily driver and I'm looking forward to doing a few sprints and hillclimbs with it as well. Nothing too serious, it's just nice to give it some proper exercise occaisonally. Previous owner has done a great job in doing (as far...

    What's your Trophy mileage?

    110 has done 38,769 but I've only done just over 2k since acquiring her in June 2010. I'm just curious as to how well used these cars are on average? Is your Trophy a daily driver or a weekend/summer toy? Cheers! :)

    Standard 172 / 182 Trophy Air Filter

    Only fitted it last weekend and driven approx 100 miles! Have managed to get a Pipercross filter to replace it. Bought the new one as bought a second hand airbox (replaced Viper kit) which came with a manky filter and didn't want to run on that in the T! £10 posted to your door? Comes with...

    My new Clio Cup racer.

    For those of you who don't use cliosport, thought i'd post up my new race car for this season for you to have a look at. Picked it up at the weekend, ex 2006 TCR Onslow-cole Championship winning car. Driven it the grand total of about 20 yards so far, on and off the trailer and into the garage...

    Poor economy :(

    Hi all, My trophy has only been averaging between 26-28mpg recently where usually its easily 33-35mpg. Around a month ago I put a decat on it, do these affect mpg that much? Or could it be the lambda sensor? may have got damaged when putting in the decat?

    new tyres

    I'm thinking of buying a couple of Mich PE3's as the fronts need replacing. Rears have covered at least 15,000 miles but have good tread. Do you, A) Replace the fronts with the new tyres? Or B) Switch the partially worn tyres on the rear to the front, and put the new tyres on the rear. ?

    Cash value for my trophy

    Guys how much are trophys going for? I've got 443 and thinking of selling it but not to sure what I'd get for it. It's got 51000 miles on the clock and in pretty good condition. Any help will be appreciated.

    200 cup @ the ring

    Very good driver... totally committed. Two videos edited together. Wait for the second one. Made me smile all the way through. They take yards out of an E36 on braking and into the corners. Enjoy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TCv2C00s ... 1&index=12

    Trophy to 197 R27/200

    Just wondering how the Trophy stacks up against later Clio's? Similar pace, but what's the true quality difference and any handaling differences.

    Winter Tyres

    Has anyone contemplated using them? If so, what brand and size? Also would they actually provide better grip than the PE2's in winter? I was looking at UK mean maximum temperatures from October to April, and between at least November to March temperatures should be highly suitable for winter...

    Michelin PS3 Pioneers

    Those with PS3s fitted - what tyre pressures are you using? I normally run 32 front but they seem a bit squidgy if you chuck the front around. I'm guessing a softer sidewall causes this? Gonna try 35 front later and have a tinker.

    Test drove Megane RS 250

    Hey guys, went to try a new Megane RS 250 this morning from Hylton Renault Worcester. I tried a FF 250 version not the cup version which I would personally opt for, but was quite impressed by it anyway. It felt very composed and the build quality is indeed leagues ahead of the 182, as most...
