There was a fire at a garage in Seaton Sluice today and the main road through was blocked off. The traffic was diverted up a back road, as i was waiting to turn up it noticed the barriers blocking the road off with a Volvo police car parked in front of them then noticed about 20ft in front of...

I'm getting my geometry fine tuned within next couple of weeks. I'm yet decided if I'm going to go for -2 camber or just optimise/correct the factory settings. Does anyone know what the factory camber/toe settings should be exactly?

Hey Guys, I know it's a long shot trying to diagnose a problem with my 182 over the net without seeing or hearing a car, but some of you guys are very clued up & thought you may be able to help me. I have a funny feeling I have a engine or possible gearbox mount gone or on the way out...

Hi Folks, While driving my girlfriends Trophy for the first time in ages the other night I was doing maybe 80MPH when I changed from 5th to 4th & put the throttle to the floor. Lots of smoke came out of the exhaust - after double checking it (repeated the gearchange) the same thing happened...

Hello Everyone Many thanks already for the hundreds of tips and suggestions I've read so far. I don't actually own a Trophy yet but by the end of February I hope to have one nailed down. I was hoping I could get a little assistance from you all. Servicing: Clearly RenTech are the...

Has anyone got any info on how the warrenty works with regard to parts? Just want to know what to say if they say, they cant give me a new driveshaft because it has a non standard air freshener or something lol

Ok this is quite interesting (i think anyway) So what is my dream next car? And what's yours? I'm not talking supercars, but in the real world what are you thinking of getting next.

Looking to do a deal on a Trophy with my Evo. Evo 6 GSR finished in Satellite Silver on a 1999 V Reg Very comprehensive history complete with the service book from japan showing all the history of the work carried out whilst it lived there along with recipts, vehicle hand books...

Just bought Trophy No 237 from Allvehicles. Pick it up on Tuesday. Traded in my Elise 111r and have to say i can't wait to get my mitts on the Trophy! Car was absolutely immaculate and Steve was really helpful and easy to get on with. No doubt i'll be on here a bit from now on! Karl.

A bit of a landmark day with the 50th Clio Trophy being delivered and buying the first FD2 CTR from Japan. Funny how in the 21st C you can spend a shed load of money when you are asleep! Brand new delivery mileage car in Champ White. Reg'd Sept so will be 57 plate. To be advertising later for...

Im so excited...my dad decided to give up his side of the garage and so me and my brother have just placed an order at westfield for our very own megabusa which we are building ourselves. we pick all the parts and panels sometime in early-mid december and then its all go go go to get it ready...

OK, have been lurking for a while and am ready to buy a car, I have 8k to spend ready in the bank so really I expect I am looking at a 182 with Cup Pack(s) but I thought I would try on here to see what a Trophy goes for nowdays. I am not after a flaming for insulting the value of the Trophy...

Well, it hasn't been long in my hands and already I've decided that it's time to be a bit braver! I got married a couple a months ago as many of you know, and bought the R26 to replace my beloved Trophy #185. Having realised that I've probably only got a couple of years left to be utterly...

..well seeing as I have put on a few Kilo's seemed like a good time to go for the Clio comfort mode. Spoke to the dealer about the lack of power and he said the engine will be arriving in 12000 miles, :roll: whatever that means.......

Car is making a grinding noise coming from underneath the car when its in gear at 2000rpm and 4000 rpm, doesnt do it when not in gear. Any one have any ideas ? going in to be looked at in a weeks time

I took my car upto the Evo triangle on friday...some epic roads well worth the trip anyway after a couple of laps I noticed that the brakes had faded abit and the clutch pedal a little lower than normal but I put this down to heat and "spirited driving " However on the next lap the clutch...

fully intend to run the trophy for another few years so at the moment i'm wondering if i should go for the extended warranty next year when the 3 years are up ? mainly due to the costs of the shocks should one fail...will the extended warranty cover this...i asked at the renault garage they...

Well, it's been a day of mixed emotions and 500 odd miles in 2 very special cars. I left Brighton this morning and took a roundabout route to Cheltenham via the A272 (one of the best roads in the South of England) in the Trophy and even in the completely atrocious conditions I still had a very...

My car is now back from Ben, who fitted cams, modifed inlet and a re-map. His only concern was that as the car has only done 4,000 miles, all on the ex-factory full synhthetic oil, that the rings may still not be fully bedded in - wants me to use ordinary mineral for a while - and so installed a...

A while ago, an empty stretch of road presented itself to me, so I thought I'd see how fast the Trophy would go. Now, it wasn't the longest stretch of road ever so I couldn't keep my foot planted forever, but it was long enough. It's not very quick over 100mph, but as it clicked past 125mph it...

F*ck me, WHAT an engine! :shock: And gearbox for that matter. It's more torquey than Type-R lumps of old and still has the same mental top end. The gearbox is so much better than a Clio's and the razor sharp throttle response / lack of engine inertia means heel 'n toe changes are...

Entering competition in 2002, the ultimate version of the Clio has rapidly become the benchmark of the Super 1600 class. Used by the official Clio Team as well as private teams throughout Europe (47 cars as at March 2004), it has been collecting titles and victories. Based on the Clio 1.6...
