Hello all, sorry it's been a while but all i've been doing is driving, I've put 2000 on the clock in 3 weeks. I had to before anyone starts, I blame tha VW add about "have you ever just gone for a night drive".
Anyway putting a new stereo in the car and was wondering if there was anything that...
Sadly the time has come to put my V6 up for sale :(
Build number UK 175 with all the usual Clio V6 factory spec inc Xenons, sensitive wipers, etc as well as the following desired aftermarket modifications:
Pipercross Induction kit, K-Tec rear silencer & RS Tuning remap all of which make...
A while ago, an empty stretch of road presented itself to me, so I thought I'd see how fast the Trophy would go. Now, it wasn't the longest stretch of road ever so I couldn't keep my foot planted forever, but it was long enough.
It's not very quick over 100mph, but as it clicked past 125mph it...

Yes, as I'm sure you know, I spent last Thursday - Monday in France with just me, my truly wonderful girlfriend, and the Clio. Oh, and lots of French people.
Here is my trip in pictures:
Folkestone
Lil' Clio at the Folkestone side of the Eurotunnel:
Loads of nice cars were about, as...
It seems that my ability to say no to things is about as bad as ever. I've been mulling over an R26 now for a while and I appear to have put a deposit down today!!
Now, although very excited by the new R26 - Black with Xenons and Decals - can always take them off with a hairdryer if I change...
I know this has probably been done to death but friend of mine has to sell his EVO5, too expensive with the arrival of another rugrat. He can't afford a Trophy so wants to get the next best, opinions please.
So im just about to book a driver training day through car limits. One of there airfield days at north weald. Before I booked I just thought I would see if any one has done this kind of thing anywhere else.
I know some people have done this one and its recommended, just curious whats out...
:?: Hello peeps, i need some advice. I have a rather boring 03 plate renault kangoo van for work which im happy to say will be going at the end of next month. I have wanted a clio for the past 6 years, ever since my brother in law had an old 172. I am torn between a trophy or a black 182? I love...
I have just purchased a new set of rear seats for my Trophy and now im looking to sell my original ones.
If anybody needs to replace theres or knows anyone who would want them please send me a PM.
Any ideas as to what i would get for them should i sell them?
Many Thanks
Marc
Have tried searching but not found anything.
Has anyone gone to a DC5 from a Trophy?
Or vice versa from a DC5 to a Trophy?
Am thinking about what i'm going to get next(soon)and i love the DC5 Integra and i want a WHITE car!!!!
Have even been thinking about getting the Trophy "Wrapped" in...
hallo :D
I stopped today to take 4 pics with my mobile, quality is not very good.
I don't know if you have this Focus ST WRC edition in UK, i don't know exactly how many exemplars exist for Switzerland and rest of Europe, in this garage is already the 3th they sell in some weeks.

Entering competition in 2002, the ultimate version of the Clio has rapidly become the benchmark of the Super 1600 class. Used by the official Clio Team as well as private teams throughout Europe (47 cars as at March 2004), it has been collecting titles and victories.
Based on the Clio 1.6...

In next week, 2003/03 26k Red / Black FSH and good all round from description by BMW dealer who has it. I'll put it up at £12995 with 12m Warranty. Sounds like a candidate for black or grey wheels ;)
I was very excited to read about the new Japanese Civic type R. Apart from a boring 4 door saloon body, the prospect of 225 PS, 8,400 rev limit, reasonable torque, Brembo 4 pot callipers, 18" lightweight rims, gear type LSD, proper independent rear suspension etc was very tempting. Still not a...
I know it was fifth gear but i have to get my fix somehow. Anyway just a sublime looking car but they quoted some bizarre performance figures (very slow) anyone else think it was odd/know any different.
Is it just me or does anyone else get treated like a total tw*t whilst driving their trophy?
On numerous occasions i have been driving the trophy well within the speed limit and have been abused by pedestrians, to whom it must appear i'm travelling much faster than i actually am.
It happened...
I say Alpina Roadster 3.4 Lux, you say.....???

Just wondering people's thoughts of a Z4 Alpina. I have recently come to research a bit about them and they seem like a fantastic car. However I am aware some people wouldn't be seen dead in one... is that the case here too?

Got to the station this evening to find No. 99 with it's driver's door window smashed and my head unit gone!
Police came and photographed it, dusted for prints and took samples of the foot print on the seat. Luckily there's no body work damage and they didn't open the glove box to the see the...

I'm drowning in stupidity over there. Someone talk some sense into those people who think the Trophy would corner better if it didn't cock a rear wheel under hard braking and cornering. Include some pictures of FWD race cars doing the...
Coming up for my 24K service and just wanted to know where people near me went. I live near stansted.
All I seem to hear is ren-tech, ren-tech, but there is no way im going to portsmoth to service my car! well maybe lol
Cheers
I have had rapid Clio's since passing my test, :D but since getting married and having 2 children i had to try and purchase cars which fitted the "Family Man" criteria. :evil:
But since Renault released the Megane 225 i saw this as my chance to get back in the groove. :D I currently own a Ph2...
Not sure if this deserves a whole post but it all i have been dreaming about all day at work.
Someone at work has just bought a Subaru impreza Richard Burns Special.
And god does it look amazing :lol:
