driving

I re-discovered Evo magazine’s raison d’être last weekend – the thrill of driving. I bought my Trophy (#23/500) in early December. Its one previous owner had serviced it regularly but in most other respects it needed a dose of TLC including: refurbished front dampers; new exhaust; rear...

HM driving the road going version of the Zonda R, the 760RS. At £1.6 mil they aren't cheap. One customer bought two of them. It's amazing what Pagani have achieved in the Supercar World with their first car. Epic engine. Epic noise. Epic car. Epic video...

Hey guys, names Tim and im toying with the idea of an upgrade. currently driving a williams and have owned several mk1 1.8 16vs and hybrids but i think its time for a change. Are there any key points i should look out for when viewing? ive noticed alot of the trophys on the market have had...

Sadly my car has had a bit of a knock tonight. Coming home from work tonight a fawn decided to play chicken with my car and unfortunately misjudged it a bit. Thankfully the little bugger was uninjured (really didn't want to have to put him down in the middle of the A4) but my car has come off...

Having been looking for another trophy for around a month now and there seems to be quite a few that still havent had the dampers re furbed yet. Just wondering how many on here are still running their cars without problems?

Alright all, finally got the car back on the road but only just passed mot due to poor braking results on the rollers. Weird thing is i didn't touch the brakes while the car was off the road! They were rusted up due to sitting there for 6 weeks so i took her for many 70mph to 0 foot heavy on the...

Hi guys, My current set up on my clio is too loud for daily driving so im looking to tone it down. I have the following for swap/for sale: K-Tec Mid Section (Non Silenced) and de-cat SWAP FOR CAT and silenced version of the KTec midsection Pipercross induction kit SWAP FOR standard air box...

T500 PHY on the A39 near high Littleton bath/Bristol. couple in the car girl driving must have seen mine and said 'oh look twins!':cool:

So thought I'd buy an RSTuner, see what the fuss was about. TBH can't say I've noticed the kind of improvement some people talk of, I think its more of a placebo effect of thinking the car must be faster. Anyhow, did the long drive to Huddersfield and noticed my MPG at the end was 31. I do...

Hi guys, I was wondering how many of you would recommend Sportlines over the stock trophy Eibach springs. I' d love to get some low but I'd never compromise handling for look. cheers Al

Evening everyone. I've been umming and ahhing about selling the Clio for a while now, it's costing a fair bit to run which isn't great when I have another expensive hobby. So i've decided I should probably try to get a cheaper car that's as fun and although i've looked at MX-5s and the like...

Chaps, I have picked up a Trophy recently and in my ignorance, have bought from a dealer (p/x) but the car has no cat. It has a decat onto a miltek unit and is way to loud for me! It was MOTd before i collected and passed so no idea how that happened and to be honest, will be claling the dealer...

I met Harry Metcalf at an evo track evening last year and he asked me why I had not thought about a newer car, implying that the new models are better. Any way with this thought in mind I went and test drove a Clio 200 on a cup chassis the other day. My thoughts, new car is bigger, much more...

Just thought I would do an update from a myself, a new owner member of a trophy re 131. Picked T up from Wales last Wednesday , first to see did buy! Great price but as always there is a snag, not deliberate by the seller more like the things to do when you get a second hand performance car! On...

So within the next few weeks the Trophy will have reached the point where it needs 4 new tyres, after trawling through a few of the posts on here i can't seem to get anywhere... Has anyone had experience with running other brands of tyre on their Trophy? if so any recommendations? If not and i...

Here is my 2003 Renault Sport Clio 172 Cup for sale, its adverstised over on CS.net but i thought it would be useful to advertise it here too. I have owned the vehicle since August 2010 and enjoyed every minute of it, unfortunately the time to sell has come. I am the third owner and the Clio...

have come across quite a few posts over time of pics of peoples front sach dampers that have just been refurbed and afterwards have went and repainted them etc but been searching there and cant find any. anyone got any links there thanks

Renault Clio Renaultsport 182 Trophy No. 71 of 500 48,600miles Bought in Nov 2009, selling because we need a bigger car for a dog (good lady wants one for her bday in March!). Won’t need any further money spending on it until tax at the start of July and then service/MOT in November...

I apologise if these have been asked, I tried to do a search my my internet is really really lagging today. My car has started the dreading ticking from the cat to exhaust joint, only very slight but I know its there so its getting sorted, so I'm going to order the bolts, springs and gasket...

does anyone have any more news on the JMS RS2, i have one fitted, are people still having problems mine's only putting out 180bhp instead off the 190ish promised, spoke to an rs tuner and he said he could have got 180 with a remap which is exactly what he did with his brothers car and it was...

Just had my renewal quote on my bike, bearing in mind I paid £106 last year with no experience and no no-claims bonus. My renewal quote was £360 now I have a years no-claims! General searching on the web was struggling to get below £200. After 6 hours of insurance quotes, got it down to £110...

The trophy is in need of new brake very soon. Going to need disc and pads all round. Got standard on the rear and brembo drilled and grooved discs on the front at the mo. Whats the best to put on? Dont what to be spending a fortune but want something thats going to work well.

I have had two Trophys both which have done this. When parking and wheels near full lock the steering wheel becomes light and wants to go onto full lock its self as if the wheels are tilted over. Also if the road is wet the T front tires slip very easily when turning. It never bothered me as i...

My dampers were due a refurb and was finding time to get them sorted then a good deal appeared o CS and was to good to miss:cool: So decided to buy new and they arrived yesterday;) So ive also bought rear Sach shocks and now deciding what springs to invest in. I should have some change from...

So its been a while since I’ve posted anything, and seeing as me and a mate of mine had enough energy to clean our cars yesterday I thought I’d do a little update with some pictures of the recent additions to #333. Although I won’t bore you with millions of pictures of my Trophy all clean, as...

There are quite a few driving-related things which annoy me so I thought I'd post one each month until I run out - call it therapy if you like. Maybe everyone will agree with me, more than likely they won't, and maybe this will spark a bit of a debate/controversy. Whatever the outcome post your...

all, i am new to the trophy world, from previously having a 320bhp scooby this is a bit of a different story. with regards to modifications what would you all suggest i've had a browse at pictures of mods in this forum, so the usual:- Exhaust- where do i go? decat - yes or no? panel...
