    Dilemma of which Renault sport, post your experiences

    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)...

    Trackday Tyres

    Anyone tried Federal 595 RS-R's : semi slicks like R888's - they are significantly cheaper than Toyo's and seem to get good write up's elsewhere. I'm need a new set of track only rubber (was on 888's) and might try them ????

    What's your Trophy mileage?

    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! :)

    Standard jack set.. why have it?

    I've just had an epiphany! All this time I've been carrying round the renault jack set when I don't even have a spare tyre! Does the wheel need to be off the ground if I needed to use that tyre weld stuff?

    Trophy 164

    I bought this car in November and have only just got it back from the garage The previous owner had put Gaz suspension on it,then lowered it and to add insult to injury put 195 tyres on it for the "streched" look. Needless to say it didn't drive as a Trophy should. Thankfully its now back to...

    Poor economy :(

    Hi all, My trophy has only been averaging between 26-28mpg recently where usually its easily 33-35mpg. Around a month ago I put a decat on it, do these affect mpg that much? Or could it be the lambda sensor? may have got damaged when putting in the decat?

    Driving down the m25 tonight and saw a very nice looking cup coloured blue Clio 197. However as it went by it had the new RS200 Clio rear air diffuser and Exhausts. I was then a little confused as to what Clio it was. It had a 197 front and a rs200 rear. It was also a 57 plate and i know that...
