Hi All, bit of a longshot given this is the Trophy Forum and 200 drivers may have long gone, but I need a bit of help. Everyone here has always been a helpful and friendly bunch, whereas having asked for help regarding this matter in all the other forums where 200 owners might lurk, I've...
Hi all,
Im going to view a Clio Trophy this coming Saturday, and having read several buyers guides and i feel i understand the main areas to look out for when purchasing a Trophy. However for piece of mind i would really like it looked over by a specialist before purchasing. Can anyone...
Afternoon all,
I just waved goodbye to my 350z and am on the hunt for either a Trophy or civic type R...I'm about to leave to go and view a trophy and was after any basic look outs as I've not had the time to do my own proper research.
Any tips would be great.
Thanks in advance.
so basically i have seen the guides on heating them up, but it will only last so long, so i thought about plastic primer and spray them satin black, but in the end i have gone for a can of plastikote black matt, and a can of gloss
will use the gloss to spray my winter wheels see how they look...
Went out for a blat today and noticed my little display that tells you the temp/time/radio info wasn't working (blank screen) then noticed the radio remote on the steering column was dead too. Radio/CD working fine, everything else on the car working fine. Fuses checked all OK; took off the...

Hi guys
Looking for some advice - my driver's Recaro has developed a very irritating rattle. It sounds like a ball bearing or a screw; when I accelerate it goes one way and then the other when I brake; it's very annoying!
I've searched around the web but cannot find any answers. From listening...
My passanger side Recaro seat isn't sliding. It will eventually go when you pull up hard on the lever and seems to slide freer in forward but not well at all backwards. Mean just sliding not tilting, tilts fine
Anyone had same problem?
Am I right in saying that the sliding mechanism is a...
Looking for a standard headunit for my Trophy, can someone comfirm what headunit i need please.
Is it a "update list" or "tuner list" and does it need to be a "cabasse"
Cheers,
Mike
Had an accident the other week in the Clio, everyone ok, car was driveable, not my fault, but going through as a 50-50 AFAIK.
Body blow today when got a message saying it was a write-off! Damage to passenger side between the axles but am shocked as the coachworks thought it wouldn't be.
The...
Heres the write up of the detailing session my good friend Olly (Snow Shine) carried out for me. After having him work on my EK9 before and seeing the results along with his various other clients I knew the car was in safe hands. I really can't recommend him enough and if you're on the South...

Hi, I'm looking to buy a Clio Trophy but wanted to know whether the drivers seat is actually height adjustable? Ive looked up on various guides and they all state is it but looking on previous post on here it seems the recaro seats arent adjustable? I figured this is the best place to ask seeing...
Spring is here, time to get rid of the swirls from the harsh winter.
I’ve used a DAS-6 a few times and achieved reasonable results but now I’ve decided to upgrade to rotary in the form of a cheap and cheerful Silverline.
Due to time restrictions and it being my first time I’m only aiming for...
Hello one and all,
Been looking into buying a Clio Trophy. Was just wondering what you guys recommend checking outside of the obvious when looking at Trophy's. I know the dampers may need refreshing. How do you know if they do? Are there any tell tale signs? Any help would be appreciated. Does...
Thinking of purchasing a de-cat pipe for a standard trophy exhaust and fitting it myself.
Are there any guides anywhere? If not, what tools will I need for the job folks and anything I need to know?
Thanks
Ben.

Hi all,
I'm new to the forum and as yet, haven't even got myself an RS Clio . However, that is hopefully about to change in the next week or so and I'm looking to buy a Trophy. Other than the reading I've done on the net and the usual Clio buyers guides that I've found, I can't seem to locate...

Whilst i'm aware that some of you perhaps think that the Cliosport forum is a bit 'childish', 'chavvy' or simply below you as a Trophy owner ... having read some of the threads on here since i've had mine, i have been constantly amazed by the lack of knowledge that 85% of this forums users...

Hello,
My Trophy is all booked in for a Service & Cambelt in the next week and my pockets are literally empty. . .
Mainly due to the fact that this also comes in the month when the MOT, Insurance and Tax are all due. Ouch!
I was just wondering if there was anything else i should be aksing the...
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...
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...
I know a few of you are into it on here, I was wondering if any one can suggest any decent routes around the Lakes. I've been to Ambleside for a walking holiday but never MTB up there...
Any thoughts!?
Cheers!
Hi there,
I recently bought myself a 2002 Clio 172, and it seems to have a bit of a problem with condensation. It seems to get quite steamed up in there, and takes longer than I would expect to clear even with the fans on max. From what I have read, and a bit of common sense, I think that the...
Hello all,
Bad news ( for me anyway ) due to my current circumstances, the Trophy has got to go, sadly! Im just looking for a run-around for the winter, while I [i]try[i] and save some cash. The problem is I still owe money on it, one option is to get a loan, pay the car off, sell the car, pay...
.........this is going to be my first 'hands on' job on the T.
Any idea if this is a relatively straight forward job? Out of interest, does anyone know if the calipers are slide in/out or twist in /out?
Looking for the best setup for fast road use and 'occasional' track use.
Many Thanks
I have recently bought my 182, but don't have a clue how to work the cruise control! Unfortuately the only manuals that came with the car in the wallet were in a different language.
Can anyone help me with step by step instructions how to work it please?
Thanks Carly
