driving

Well I've had the car quite a while now and I'm really enjoying it. Anyway I've spent a few quid on the car lately sorting out some bits and bobs that were bothering me. The new additions include: Miltek catback Eibach Sportlines and camber bolts Heko wind deflectors Also a few months back now...

Seen a T today coming from Abingdon at around 16:15, didn't catch the reg though, wasn't really paying much attention till it went past!

I appreciate this may be a long shot, but should anyone need family friendly wheels and be looking to let go of their Trophy, I'd be interested in doing a deal. I was commuting 65 motorway miles a day for work, and the S-Max was ideal for comfort and cruising and covering family duties and...

Hi Guys, Does anyone else who still frequents this forum have this set-up? I'm having a major issue with the fit between the 2 parts. I am getting a blowing which caused me to fail the MOT for emissions. My MOT centre managed to get the car through but after some spirited driving it is...

Just back from 3 days away going round scotland.Been wanting to do this for ages ! Left Dundee Monday morning and headed over to go up Loch Lomand,over to lochgilphead then up to Oban. Tuesday went from Oban to Glencoe,Fort William,Glen Nevis then upto Applecross. Wednesday went from Applecross...

I got a letter saying all clio 182's including the cups etc all have a recall about the bonnet catch ceasing and then the bonnet opening as you come down the road and smashing everything to bits?

Hi guys, title says it all. It's only a thought in the pipeline as I've just stumbled on what looks like a bargain at snetterton, £49 for the day, 15 may. Thing is, my car is absolutely standard, and I don't plan on modding, but I just want to see what the trophy can do in a safe environment. I...

Hi, Anyone going on the Renaultsport trackday to SPA? Wondering if I'm going to see another Trophy! Mark

Wahey, first one I've seen driving since I've had mine :) looked nice, it's good seeing another one on the road. I didn't flash as I only caught a 2second glimpse and the central reservation was in the way. Anyone on here??

So I've been doing a few more miles in the T recently and this morning after being on the receiving end of some serious road rage AGAIN and tbh not being your stereotypical boyracer hoonhoodlum I'm beginning to wonder if it's the car that attracts a little bit of extra unwanted attention or is...

Hi guys. im thinking off the idea of getting front and rear strut braces for the trophy. but do they actually need them. does anybody think they improve the handling?? I'd like some input from people who have fitted them. thanks for looking

What kind of springs work best with the Sachs apart from the standard ones? Looking to go for stiffer springs but don't want to wreck the dampers in the process. Thanks.

Absolutely gutted! After 7.5 years and 80k miles, I've had a coming together with a very solid old stone wall, and come off second best. Stuffed the NSF into the wall, no metal panel damage, airbags didn't go off, but the assessor stopped counting the damage at £3.5k without getting stuck into...

Here's mine after my commute this morning

I know this is a much discussed thread and I’ve trawled through the searches, but anyway I’m still undecided... My front pads are nearing the time to be replaced at the moment I've got the Standard Renault discs and pads. I’ve bought myself the Brembo HC Disks but I’m undecided which pad to...

My Brembo's and DS2500's were old and tired and I my driving means i don't need uprated items, so i went for Mintex front discs and pads, Genuine renault rear discs and Mintex pads. When i fitted the pads into the front caliper i noticed the pads were a mil too small to fit snug in the gap. Sure...

Hi guys,I know you guys will be biased but why should I pay the extra for a Trophy over a 182FF?I know it's got the sachs but is the cornering ability that much better?Let me know your thoughts and why you went for a Trophy.Cheers.

Guy, Most T's have aftermarket filters, exhaust systems, braided lines & a few other bits as we all know. Now as standard im getting quotes of £600 which is fine, but declaring an air filter mod alone comes out at £900!!! Wtf!? I cannot find a standard T. What to do?

Haven't been on here for some time, had a mooch about but no signs of any new dampers around so thought i'd come right out with it. My passenger side has lost its gas for the second time after a rebuild and I remember there was someone on here selling new ones from a Renault dealer for real good...

I was very surprised to spot another Trophy knocking about! :D Saw you driving into Sainsburys at Badger Farm (DS05 I think)

Hi, I have found this review on You Tube; is it a joke?! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3PsD6yFyHPY You'll either laugh or want to hit him!

I'll start us off... Just spotted myself outside my old house, waiting for mobile tyre change! This must be 4-5 years ago now. Any others out there??

Well thanks to steve i got myself a really nice set of headlights and he even fitted them to the trophy for me. People might not thing the are the brightest of lights but they make such a difference.

Hi. I have been having a few problems while driving like country type of Roads not been impressed by the handling of my car :-( I began to realise something ain't right coz ma old 182 handled better than this. Which isn't right. Anyway cut a long story short. I pushed down on the front...

Hi guys, since picking up #151 I've not had much chance to put any miles on her as I've been out of town with work. I have had both the timing belt and aux belts changed out and it's driving really well. I put about 150 miles into the car (mostly motorway) and I'm really happy with the drive...

I have a humming noise coming from my car, sounding like a shot wheel bearing - humming more when turning right, indicating a left bearing. I changed both of my fronts and after picking it up from the garage this evening, it's still there, not so loud though. I jacked the car up before it went...

can anyone help me. when sitting still and I slightly move the steering side to side I can feel and hear a knock at my foot? This wheel doesn't feel right when I am driving either sounds funny but like feels like the wheel is doing its own thing.... Any ssuggestions? X

Hello Cliotrophy.co.uk :) This is my first post on the forum so ill try keep it relatively short! I'm currently on the hunt for my second trophy. I sold my First Trophy roughly a year ago and miss it like mad! I'm a massive Honda man so have always had those as a rule but the clio just won me...

So just this evening, officially the Trophy changed hands from Sir_Dave to myself. Drives awesome for a Clio with 186,601 miles, better than quite a few clios i've driven actually! Plans - Needs an interior so a 172 Cup interior's being sorted. Fit lower arms and track rod arms/ends off the...

Hi Guys, Just wondering if anyone knows anything about the problems I'm having with my T atm Filled up full yesterday and drove 110 miles motorway no stopping and a constant 56mph the whole way and some how managed to get through half a tank ! Also it feels to be lacking power and engine...
