My mates 182 Cup has been off the road now for around 6 months due to noticing white spoke coming from the exhausts. I have offered him a grand for it to which he accepted however will not pay until I have seen engine condition this friday. Sounds to me like head gasket may have gone. The story...

Hi, What is the MPG of a Trophy?? Ok , normal motorway driving... is it around 32mpg?? jsgthomson@gmail.com

Hello just got number 14. Very pleased with the car and the way it goes. It's my 1st decent fast 'new car' having always had classics. I'm 42 so not a real racer type. I think it will fit in well with some of the oldies own. Only poor areas for road driving in my opinion are: a bit of movement...

Basically I'm thinking of upgrading my car in the near future to one with a bit more power while maintaing good handling. I've got a few questions I'm hoping you'll answer and I'm sure this forum will be a bit biased but I look forward to your comments. If i do decide to buy it trophy, it will...

Hi, I have been quoted £580 for all of the the above supplied and fitted. Does that sojnd about right and is there anything else needing done at the sametime? jsthomson

Hi All, I can't find Michelin PE2s now so are people using PE3s and is ok to use PE2s and PE3S at the same time??? Lastly, what is the difference between them? Regards, jsgthomson

Has anyone figured out a way to bring the standard steering wheel closer to them. I'm thinking of trying to get a spacer made up to go bring the wheel closer to the driver. Is there anyone who has had there wheel off who would know if this is possible. Cheers P.S I apologize if I don't ever...

When one of my Sachs failed recently I was in a real dilemma over what to do. To have them refurbished is the best part of £500 just for the front two shocks and there’s no real warranty on the repair. Combine that with the horror stories of people having them refurbished just for them to either...

Just got my Trophy back after a whole heap of maintenance work and I have to say Wow! I can't believe how much the car is transformed! She went in for a service, new discs and pads, refurbed front shocks from Cornering Force, new front springs and new front top mounts. I had the rear shocks...

Hi, Putting my Clio up for sale on eBay (hopefully today but by this Sunday at the latest) Just thought this would be a good place to start off any (hopeful) interest. I will add the link / item number as and when the ad is up and running. 05 plate with 71,000 miles Tax - 31/12/2013 MOT...

Seen this on ebay, 74,000 miles or so very similar condition and miles to my own, with the amount of ebay watchers is this a realistic price? Estimated value from low-high? £3,000-£6,500? Thanks.

Spotted but i was in the work car. You looked proper focussed on your driving. Pretty twisty that M25!

Hey folks, havent had a chance to drive the car in snowy conditions yet, but living in Scotland means its pretty inevitable unfortunately! Can anyone comment how the driving is in the snow? I have eagle f1 tyres all round so i dont think it will be very good..! Also, what kind of snow tyre set...

Hi Fellas, just wanted to say hi! I've just joined and I'm on the look out for a Trophy to replace my turbo'd mk1 MX5. The mazda has a Megasquirt ecu and I have done all of the work on it myself - I've spent the past 2 or 3 years building it up to be my perfect driving car. I don't really want...

For sale is my Trophy, no 434. The car is currently on 56k. The car has 2 previous owners (myself included). I’ve owned it for the last 18 months and 13,000 miles. The car has a full service history, with the last service at Mark Fish Motorsport coming in at £1,700 in August 2012 to cover a...

Hi all, I am getting number 313 on Wednesday! I am moving over here from focusrsoc.com, having owned a MK1 RS focus for about a year. Unfortunately I needed to downsize to fund moving out and a mortgage so I bought a little clio :p I really like it and although for me it will never be my RS...

On the way to Sainsbury's and got beeped and waved at by an excitable chap in a clean looking T. First other one I've seen whilst I've had mine. Was pretty cool driving them side by side down the road!

I'm thinking about getting some spacers and was wondering, has anyone else has tried them on a Trophy, and if so, how did you get on? I'm currently running 1.5 degrees of negative camber at the front, standard Sachs (still pinned), Eibach Sportline springs (although I'll hopefully be trying out...

Within the last 4 months I've sold my much missed Trophy and my partners EP3 Civic Type-R Premier to be replaced by a RenaultSport Megane DCi175 with Cup & Lux packs making it rare as only about 390 were sold in the UK & not all with either packs never mind both. And the Civic with a late model...

So why was this thread deleted? I'm guessing that his visits last night were to fire off some threatening PM's. Pretty lame that the forum folded so easily, disappointing.

On my way for a week in Cornwall with the girlfriend. Her turn driving so I have nothing to do but car spot. Sure it had a cage when it went past on other side of mway! The stance it has - I shouldn't of sold! Haha

Hi Chaps and chapettes, I've just collected my new trophy :cool: and have noticed that the RH front fog light/driving lamp is cracked. If anyone has a spare, please let me know. Cheers, Mark F

Hi I've just refitted my Sachs after CF serviced them and like at least one other person on here they seem incredibly firm. Now I've owned my T for about 5 years and I've driven lots of other Ts so I have a pretty good idea of what's normal, and quite frankly my Sachs dampers currently feel...

My car seems to have broken its passenger seat slide. Fortunately it's fully forward so my son can get in the back seat. It won't move back. I hoped the cable had popped off but it's in place. However on the left hand slide the belo piece looks to be floating around in the track The seat...

For sale here is Clio Trophy #181 of 500 , the car was first registered in 2005 and is on a 55 plate, it has currently done approx 95k miles. Car was bought only a few months ago as a weekend car/run about and has seen very little use, I’ve probably only done around 1k miles in it, in fact it...

Hi all, Recently bought the Trophy from j333evo (Aaron) T9 PHY ( http://www.cliotrophy.co.uk/forum/showthread.php/51928-Trophy-no-243-500 ) unfortunately I had a bit of an ordeal shortly after my purchase on the drive home Travelling from Northants where I bought the car back to Cornwall...

Which tyres offer the best value & performance in 205/45/16? I only use the T for weekend fun so road noise & wet weather capabilities are of no concern, I just want great performance & value for money. Of course, they have to be road legal too! Suggestions & recommendations most appreciated.
