driver

Love driving the Trophy, but feel like a bus driver :) Think some lower bucket seats would complete it, what options are there and what experience have people had with them?

Had a great weekend in Manchester for a football league play off final and my ex-boss decided late last week to play 7-a-side match and got hit in the eye. He was not up for driving to Manchester from the SW and I was not insured to drive his Mondeo. I decided to take the Trophy on the 600 mile...

Righto, my front sachs started leaking so i've removed them from the car, sent them off to BG to be stripped, they've sent them back to me to be blasted and coated then i'm sending them back for refitting. While that's being done i'm working on the rest of the susp. Removed the arch liners and...

As per title? I honestly can't see myself selling the little bugger. Took it for a blast on some newly discovered B roads recently and was still absolutley gobsmacked at how bloody good it is. :D I bought a Boxster S six months ago and even though it's a brilliant car, unless you're a...

Right lads I was tinkering on with the red rocket in the garage this week and had positioned it as close to the up and over garage door as possible so I had plenty of space at the front of the garage and the car. I then stupidly jacked the car up to change the wheels and opened the garage door...

As I was moving cars about & an opportunity to take a quick pic presented itself. The Trophy next to my Lancia integrale EVO & our recently purchased EP3 Civic Type-R Premier Edition.

Good day chaps! My recent MOT revealed a leaking driver's side damper. So it's my intention to whip the shocks off, send them to BG for refurb, off which i have just emailed. Just a note, I emailed Mark Fish first, who basically said use BG as they have the market covered for this job. While...

Hi, Newbie just signing on and wanted to introduce myself. I'll be on the lookout for a Trophy or possibly a 182 with both Cup packs and recaros as a daily driver. I have a S1 Elise for the weekend, although I'm expecting that if what I read about the Tropy and 182 is right, I might be using...

Tonight I was looking at my Trophy and something wasn't right with the stance, jacked it up to find the driver side front spring broken. Somehow it had managed to break and go under the upper half??? So the car sits higher on that side now :? Before I phone Renault tomorrow I was considering...

Sadly the time has come to part company with my much loved Renaultsport Clio Trophy. It is build number 226 of the 500 that were released in the UK and has just over 54,000 miles on the clock. This will creep up as the car is in daily use It has a full service history and benefits from a very...

Im in need of 2 new tyres Firstly - wheres the best place (cheapest) to get michelin pe2's or ps3's from (or other recommendations?) Secondly, does it matter that much if i use say ps3's on the front and pe2's on the back, probably doesnt just i will have my OCD glasses and will be thinking...

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)...

hi, It is with much regret that I am putting #322 Up for Sale. :( I want to pay off my student loan and get a cheap run about - I'm just not doing the Trophy justice driving it back and forward to work! Uploaded with ImageShack.us 2005/55 Renaultsport Clio Trophy - current milage is...

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...

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...

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! :)

Tonight, don't forget :-)

Ok, so i dont normally whore, but thanks to James (JMS) and Mike (FailSport) last night, the TroFail is now finished. I'm sure a few of you will have read my project thread, & i'll update that with more info than in here, but chuffed isnt the word, it drives brilliantly & looks ruddy lovely imho...

Just noticed my driver seat has suddenly got a loud squeak. Apparently its near my left butt cheek. Anyone else had a similar problem and if so how the hell do you fix it! Not a good week as I got a chip on the windscreen as well! Thanks :D

I want the Stig to put a trophy round top gears track !!

gents I'm jealous seeing all these lovely shiny trophies that have been machine polished and look amazing. i would love to have mine looking that good, would anyone be willing to do mine if i come up and see you? obviously im not shy to get stuck in and give you some fun vouchers for your time...

Just weighted my Trophy at BTM performance. 1093kg with half a tank in it and 12 CDs. Anyone else weighted there Trophy?

Can anyone tell me how to change the over head light. I think the bulbs gone, it was working yesterday when doors were opened, but today's it's gone, any advice on how to change the bulb and what type of bulb would be great mg

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. ?

What a stunning car..... http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/sales/2308963.htm Whilst on the subject of insurance....has anyone else found that their renewal has hardley gone down?!?!! I am currently paying around £1600 with privilege at 22, with 3 years NCB. Yet for next year they have offered me a...

Hi, Thought I'd sign up here to get some info from Trophy owners before I test drive some. I currently own a Peugeot 106 Rallye 1.3 which I really like and recently thought I would never sell as it does almost everything that I want in a car(no I dont want comfort!)-steering feel, chassis...

Hi all, Last year I was looking for a Trophy as a trackday-toy, in the end I went for a modified VX220, now though the Clio-itch is back. I've always been drawn towards the Trophy, rather than the Cup, but is it worth the premium if the car is to be used as a trackday-toy/daily driver? Is a...

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

.please remove.

Hi all, Not a huge issue but i was hoping for a some feedback if possible, Couple of weeks ago i took the wheels off for and inside and out clean i noticed the driver side CV rubber boot was pulling slightly away on the small end and exposing grease (had fun cleaning that off the wheels)...
