Anyone have them on their Trophies? I'm tempted to get some rear ARB's. Hopefully going to go with the Mark Fish sus set up at the end of the summer also. If anyone has that total combination would be good to hear your thoughts.
Well have to say I'm truely blown away by how good it is compared to my old 197. The steering is sharper, the handling is fantastic, gear box is the best renault gearbox I've experienced so far and the performance is superb.
Don't have a bad word to say about it tbh and its deffinately in line...
Sadly, due to personal circumstance No 435 is now for sale.
It has done 38 200 miles and is in lovely condition, with 5 months MOT and 6 months road tax.
Good bits:
full service history, with auxiliary belt done at 32 000
front dampers refurbed and professionally unpinned 2000 miles ago...

Hey 8)
I had my first track day on Monday and loved it! :D :D
I was terrified at first but soon settled in after a couple of laps.
BRAKES:
When I first went out I managed 4 laps and had to pull into the pits as I was experiencing a little brake fade and wanted to check tyre pressures...
Hi im unable to put my hand on my service book at the moment and im unsure of when my cambelt needs replacing. 70,000 rings a bell, is this correct? Is there an age limit as well?
Hi,
Having just completed a 1,000 miles since buying Trophy 383 from pm_air I thought it about time I shared my initial thoughts:
Having wanted a Trophy since they first came out I have to say the car is great fun and lives up to the hype. I came close to buying one new to replace my Elise...
Here are a couple of short videos of a recent track evening with the Clio 200.
It was my third track event with the car so starting to get along quite well with it now. Great car for trackdays :-)

Hey,
Does anyone know where the cheapest place to get rear suspension for trophy part number 8200 519 954. I am finding it difficult to find someone that stocks them.

.................well managed to replace 1 ball joint and it took me hours! The holding nut was rather tight to say the least.
Similar subject, looking to replace the top mounts with solid ones but wondering if there are any options where the chassis is not drilled?
I have sourced...
I have been looking through posts and at few photos of calipers that have been painted on here. I think it finishes the car off perfectly but i notice quite a lot of people reckon they would be better left standard.
Just like to know what peoples veiws were on doing it.
Cheers Elliott.
My auntie and uncle came down yesterday for some easter dinner and my uncle was saying how nice the trophy looked how shiny it was :lol:
My cousin has a focus ST 07/57 totally standard. Bought it brand new - ......... well my uncle was going on about that he is wanting to sell it to buy a...

The shock is bent so cant send it off to bg motorsport and ben g said he could sell me a shock but needs rebuilding. Would be easier if i could get a shock which doesnt need...
After selling my Trophy back in 2009 i bought myself a Megane R26 as a replacement, from day one i never found it as exciting as the Trophy, i wasn't even excited the night before i went to pick it up!
After 6 months of owning the Megane and going from days of loving the torque and the sheer...
well i have been a throphy owner for 2 days now and today its been dry enough to test the car on a few twisty sections i know like the back of my hand, i have found the trophy to feel a bit odd to be honest, on turn in it feels as tho the backend sways out but at the same time it stays planted...

Was driving to a meeting this morning in Sutton and spotted a littlle T parked up by the side of the road. Would have been about 7.30am. Not exacltly sure it was in Wallington but it must have been pretty close by.

Saw you parked in Bright Hill car park. In fact I parked almost next to you with mine. Only the 3rd one I've seen in two and a half years. Nice exhaust you've got which one is it?
