Been looking at a post on Cliosport about steering wheel wear as the roughness on mine starting to wind me up. Its on the RHS on the wheel by the grip. Cliosport refer to it as 'melting'. I have never seen anything like it. On previous old cars that I had +10 years when the wheel got worn it...

as its a nice day i went for a drive around the countryside and thought about cutting a hole so my induction could breath better, do you think this could devalue the car and even damage the engine if it rains, dont want water sucking in the engine

Not posted for a while, new job... :oops: Got a bit carried away last week :roll: having waited a while I have finally become the owner a Caterham 7, a Superlight R400, 4yrs old, 10.5k mileage, pearlescent Snot green colour :D See picture at the bottom. Picked "SuperSnot" up in Dundee...

Hi all. Wonder if anyone has any idea what may be up with my car. Whenever i ease of the accelerator there is a knocking sound from front of car. Not a very harsh sound and some times sounds like a ufo type noise ! Its not apparent when accelerating so i am assuming its only when engine...

Not a lot is the answer!! I've finally removed the valve following the guide posted on this site. I also replaced the hoses with flexible alloy items, 50mm dia. for the lower intake (1st pic) and 60mm dia. for the side intake (2nd pic) using the orignial plastic fittings. Performance...

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...

Evo have updated their website to inlcude an online version of The Knowledge. http://www.evo.co.uk/carreviews/cardata ... ot_hatches

With some interior trim . Kept the originals to put back when i sell .

I've had the car 3 days now, and done about 400 miles...It really is fantastic and I see why someone has termed the car 'Super Mario Kart'. However, at the risk of sounding like a whinging so and so, my back and legs haven't stopped aching. After about 20 mins in the Clio I begin to get...

As stated in title what shall I opt for as next motor? R26 Pro's - handling, style, extra room (enough for a bike), 230 bhp, warranty, 57 plate Con's - build quality, renault deprciation 350z Pro's - more style, rare, build quality, performance, handling, engine, holds value Con's -...

Here it is, had lots of people asking me across different forums asking if I had bought the new car yet so it now pleases me to officially announce my new purchase! Just a few pics taken tonight after a day at Rentech... Mods: H&R Coilovers, Carbon splitter, Prospeed Exhaust...

I've started to learn this technique on downshifts blah blah, i can blip the throttle in my Saxo quite easily but not in the Trophy, is this beacause:- A - the pedals are to far apart B - i'm not pressing the brake pedal in enough. C - my feet to small? pleae help a wannaby track star!

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...

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...

(finally) Picked up No250 today and drove it home the long way from Essex to Surrey, avoided the M25 as much as possible, and then spent the whole night grinning, much to the wifes concern. Keep looking out the window wandering when I can next go for a long drive......to think I nearly bought a...

I have fallen in love with all vechiles BMW m3 so in 6 months time and a lot of saving i am going to get one . I have never driven one so any comments on handling performance mpg .

We have discussed before about what fuels work best with the Trophy and I mentioned in another thread that I was going to do my own mini survey! So here it is - in all its succinct glory! :lol: I've always sworn by Optimax (superceded by V-Power as we know) so have used that primarilly with...

What mpg do you guys get from your trophys? My brother gets 30 on average around town but i get 26? But we do the same driving? Im thinking there might be something wrong with mine.

Anyone know anything about number 6 currently at renault london west on reg plate hk05 zpr? Was it a press car for instance? I glanced at it quickly and noticed the rear pads were pretty low but the fronts were like new, would that be because someone has been driving it being over reliant...

Seems i'm always banging on with probs anyone any ideas with this? From cold can pull off but there is a total lack of power tiil it warms a little, plenty of revs but wiill just not move. Has only just started, admittedly have still only done 2k (i know shame on me) Sorry no idea what...

Had the 1st 12000 miles service on friday, luckily i didnt pay for the service because when i picked it up the guys in the garage had spilt petrol in the car and it stank, so as a good will gesture they picked up the cost. Also, any ladies/gents had the problem with the spray paint rubbing...

http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=152122 Can't wait for this. Do you think Stromba got invited with his Williams?

Today I took the spanner to the car and completed the obligatory induction modification. I however routed the intake pipe slightly differently and also used the old pipe as a feed for the second air hole intake to the front of the box (currently taking in hot engine air). I also played...

hey guys
