I've never suffered from the infamous 182 top mount knock, but a couple of days ago my Trophy started making a knocking noise when maneuvering at slow speeds. I assumed this was the knock, and thought nothing of it, but it has been getting progressively worse since then.
The knock was then...
Im going to look at a VX220 tomorrow! Really can't decide whether i want one or to stick with the trophy? What are peoples thoughts on the VX220? And do you think its worth the change?? Cheers
Whilst fitting my new Yozza Brembo / Ds2500 pack this afterrnoon, i thought it would be the perfect time to whip out my damper pins.
Quickly got the passenger side done, undid the grubscrew, levered the cap off, knocked the pin upwards and refitted the cap, hey presto!!
However, when i...
I've had tommy for 8 months & just getting used to it, done almost 5k in that time.
Yet i see owners who have recently bought, selling up.
Is it a i've had 'one' kinda thing & move on to the next 'best thing'????
Hi all,
Its a long shot but I thought I would post anyway.
we are looking for a trackday project and have settled on a Clio Trophy,
we have an UK S2000 which we have for sale on Pistonheads, It has 36,000 miles and is in outstanding condition. We do have someone interested so it may be...
I currently run a Saab 9-3 and normally lurk on Scoobynet, have had a few sportier cars such as a Volvo T5, Fiat Coupe Turbo, Golf GTI's, Rover BRM etc.
My Saab is nearing 100,000 and hasn't got aircon so I fancy a change, I have been eyeing up the 172 and 182 for years now, especially when...
Can you add an additional driver with Greenlight? Seems I can't when i fill out their online form. However i'm guessing I need to call them to add an extra driver. Or do they not allow it for some odd reason!?!?!
Evo descrivbe the Trophy as 'the most fun you can have on 3 wheels' but my question is how do you get it on 3 wheels?
Is it something that you should be able to do everyday or do you have to really push the car so much that you're very unlikely to achieve it safely on the road?
Can you...
when are these cars supposed to be out??
I saw a black one this morning whilst walking into work. It had either a demo plate or a foreign plate on it, couldn't really tell.
Looked nice, fairly aggressive but a bit too futuristic for my liking...very Astra VXR sort of look to it. Had 2 huge...
out of interest, how does the trophy suspension compare with a clio 182 on aftermarket coilovers say H&R's.
which is likely to perform better.
If nobody knows then I will let you know what the answer is because me and some friends are doing a trackday...obviously my trophy, a 172 cup on...
My father is claiming there is a "weren't they great" comparative article about the Focus RS and the Trophy in there. He's getting on a bit, bless him, so he may be imagining it.
:?:
I shall find out on Saturday when I pop in.
Spotted twice in two days. Clio Trophy male driver.
Once in Severn way, Bletchley
and
Once near pink punters crossing the double roundabout, Bletchley!!
Anybody.......
Well, nearly. Broad daylight, dry, country lane with flat (not ditched or hedged) runoffs. Road drops from plateau with sweeping left followed by tightening right under bridge and dropping steeply. Enter right on trailing throttle – some gravel previously dragged across surface. Get...

My god, that's going to be fast, like F40 fast, but for £30K!

This is an example of how not to sell your car, I think he actually rallied it around a farmyard...
I've just joined the 20k mile club. and what better trip to bring the trophy in to the 20's than a trip to brands hatch! Although sadly i wasn't driving round the track.
Who else is a member of this elite trophy driving group? lol
Just got the replacement for the Trophy yesterday. 20k miles on the clock and paid £14,750 from a trader completely factory standard. I feel guilty for saying it but it's better than the Trophy in every aspect in my opinion:
The clutch pedal is harder, the brake pedal is harder and has...
Just a little reminder to you all that as of the 27th Feb '07 if your seen using your mobile;
whilst driving,
supervising a learner driver or
deemed not in position to have proper control,
you will find yourself with £60 fine and 3 points!!!! :evil:

I currently own a Y reg 172 and am looking to buy a Trophy but haven't seen any for sale in my locality.
Can anyone help or maybe take me for a spin in one so I can get a taster?
Well, unfortunately I have to sell the Trophy. It will really really break my heart to do so but it has to go. I'm off to Iraq for 4 months as of April and have just bought a house so the money could be used better than sitting in the garage. It's not offically up for sale yet but I'm looking...
Well i was wondering how long it would take for me to see another Trophy whilst in mine....
As i have only ever seen one Trophy in the flesh before and that was back in the summer at Tuner GP at Snetterton, i was thinking it would probably be a while, but today on the way home from the gym...
