Hi All Unfortunately somebody hit my Trophy a couple of weeks ago and as a result the car is a right off. To summarise the damage amounts to a new rear left quarter panel possible new passenger door. On the right side I was pushed into the curb which has bent the stub axle and knackered the...

ive owned no#51 for just over 2 years and loved it, best car ive ever had in fact. its was when i was at silverstone for the british grand prix and saw this clio 200 albi blue with cup chassis and the recaro seats i went wow. in the flesh it does look lovely pics dont do it justice. so looked on...

Anybody had experience of Redline Tuning in Basildon,Essex.According to the website they have developed a modified airbox for clio 172/182 that will produce gains of 12-18 bhp.Anybody had first hand experience?

I appreciate that this is a Trophy board and most of you guys got that funky Sachs stuff going on. Just bought a 172 last week and loving it, apart from the mech gremlins. Gearbox 2nd gear synchro issue, t/belts etc Anyway..... Under hard acceleration, say from 2nd to 3rd, i hear something...

Gonna give the trophy an oil change at the weekend any suggestions on what to use?

The car's just been to Birchdown for its cambelt service (excellent guys, highly recommended) While it was there I asked them to look at a dash light I have which is the SERV light and the wet road icon (I assume to do with ESC and ABS). After reading up on here I suggested it could be the...

here's one for the techies out there... do sensors just report or do they control? maybe it depends on the sensor???? i.e. if you get a fault code. could the fault likely be caused a dodgy sensor or could a dodgy sensor have altered the EMS to trip a fault?

Should a 182 cup come with an engine cover as standard? - mine hasn't got one :(

Sorry guys, but I've just got a Trophy and it seems to want to cut out all the time. Also takes a tad long to start up in the morning, turns over a couple of seconds longer than I'd think normal. Even once warmed up after a long drive, put it in reverse and start to move back and it'll just...

so recently Mr Clarksons words have started to ring true. its not the noise i dont like, i love music in the car and i love listening to the massive suck of the V6 air box on sunday mornings. its just motorway road noise thats starting to get to me. having to shout at passengers, so i might...

Sorry didn't spot the reg :oops: I was going the other way in the green R400

Here's the scenario guys & girls.......It's a Trophy - but then that's why we're all here isn't it :D Show's 25k and there's only evidence of 1 service conducted in 2006. No MOT and the front tyres definitely need replacing. What is this car going to need mechanically to bring it up to scratch...

Tinker and I spent 5 hours driving this 1923 Royce back to where we live from Toulouse yesterday in the sun shine, different and very enjoyable !! :D

if so ill see you there.

Spoke to Mark yesterday as i'm keen to purchase some of his stuff in the next couple of months. Whilst i was on the phone i thought it would be best to ask about a group buy - he seemed to think that 10% off would be ok for 10 confirmed orders. But im sure we could get something for 5 as well...

Hey guys, The Sachs are coming off '380' later as they're booked in with Ben on the 8th. I've noticed a lot of people saying that they've had the struts un-pinned to allow adjustment to the damping. I've had a quote of £25.00 each + vat, is it worth me getting this done while they're away?

A new software from fastchip 'launch control' I dont think il be uploading this calibration onto my ecu, however it only costs 10euro.. http://www.fastchip.nl/vmchk/Clio-2/Vie ... ducts.html ed

So how long do you plan on keeping it (meaning Trophies but anyone is welcome) all being well? A car you're going to keep 'forever'? Keep for a long time? Planning on changing? A stop gap? No idea? I have to say I've thought about changing my car in the recent past but little can get near...

Here we go.. My original plan was to buy a 182 and upgrade the seats, suspension and wheels. But when I worked it out it was slightly cheaper to go all out and buy a Trophy. Number 214/500 42k Miles, FSH, MOT, Tax, VERY good bodywork for the milage, Ran smoothley, and a decent price. Yesss...
