handbrake

Hey guys, This weekend im going to Silverstone to watch 'time attack', you can also put your car on track for 15 mins for £35. Ive never done a track day before and dont wana chuck myself and the trophy in the deep end just yet, so thinking this would be a good little teaser for me. Its the...

As you may be aware my Trophy is now fully stripped inside, only thing remaining is the heater matrix, clocks and steering column, so everything else is up for grabs, the recaro seats went last week but everything else is still there, some of it is in 1st class condition some of it not (just...

what size are the speakers? do i need adapters if im fitting different speakers or can i just screw them in? if im getting a dvd head unit will i need a cambus interface? lowering? would idealy like to lower my trophy but dont know if its wise?

Well some of you may remember me? Im little Newms from Cliosport. I use to own a 172 Cup but decided to sell. I bought a few cars after that with the best one being a citroen saxo vts (loved it! Gutted when that went!) I saved a few pennys and bought a house with my Mrs and here i am today! All...

I am looking to buy and fit some harnesses to my trophy. I don't really want to go welding and drilling too many holes here and there for them though. Whats the deal, are they easy to fir into the Clio's? Also does fitting them affect the running of the air bags etc? I was looking at Sabelt...

Hello. New here, nice forum. I'm very tempted to get a trophy this week. Question is, how many people have changed from higher powered bigger cars to a trophy and what are their views? Currently have a celica gt4 but fancy a change. Was originally looking at boxsters and 350zs but i dont drive...

everytime i get in my car and start it up everything is fine but when i move off i get this weird knocking sound, it feels like its from the clutch or summt but when driving around its fine, even after when im waiting in traffic lights then move off again it seems fine, do you think its...

we've done the front brake discussion endless times but what's people opinions on the best rear set-up? I know it's only 20% of the braking, but i'm disappointed my rear disks are on their last legs after only 24k and the pads look like they'll need doing again (currently mintex extreme on...

Pair of red 3 point sabelt harnesses boxed and as new. £75

I miss my Trophy real bad, was trawling through some old pictures last night and it brought back memories of driving across France, evading the Gendarmes and scaring the piss out of Emily with lift off oversteer moments. It makes other cars seem like they're trying too hard, current steed...

Now that the 197 Cup has arrived I intend to buy one in the new year. This will mean that my beloved trophy will have to go, as (as much as I have tried) I can't find the funds (of justification) to keep both! So I'm putting him up for sale soon :( . If there is anyone out there who is...

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...

Has anyone noticed the shock on other motorists faces when you overtake? Perhaps when on an A road? On my regular two weekly drive to see the girlfriend in Edinburgh via the A68 I ve noticed that other motorists are not willing to overtake. In fact they would prefer to be stuck doing 40 in a...

Does anyone know of a problem where the car seems to lack power. My car seems to lack power intermittently. At its worst it drives as if it has around 80 / 90 hp. It has no low down torque meaning it's most noticeable when pulling away or trying to overtake other traffic. It also runs a bit...

Right I have a spare set of dash inserts and trying to get hold of a spare gear knob insert and the steering insert. Was just wondering what you lot thought about this.

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...

Hi Guys I'm going down to France later this year, so I thought I'd ask Orbisoud how much one of their exhausts costs to collect from the factory gates. This is their reply; hello, price line complete racing : 1006 euros ht. soft : 1087 euros ht. best...

Does anyone know the paint code for our Trophies? As I looking to order some paint from here http://www.paints4u.com/

hi im looking at getting rid of my plastic gear knob and handbreak casing on my trophy, any ideas how they are removed?

Birthday at the weekend - and check out the pictures - had a Aston martin V8 Vantage to hoof in all weekend! What a car, more pictures to follow! :D

Another clip, not only a Renault, but a Clio no less :D It isn't a Mk2 I grant you, but well worth a viewing in my view. If anyone has seen this before apologies. Clio Maxi, Jean Ragnotti, Rallye Du mont Blanc 1995. The footage at around 30 secs is just amazing, rest of clip also good...

Was chattin with some1 the other day & basically it led me to have a quick check over my brakes. I was very surprised. The rear pads are just about due 4 replacement imo, after only 8500miles!!!! There is about 1-1.5mm left on the piston side pad and 2.5-3mm on the reactor side. Has anyone...

This a bit a long post, apologies but hopefully of interest to more than just me :) So I read all of http://cliotrophy.co.uk/forum/viewtopic ... 74&start=0 very interesting, noting the follwing I am considering going for the 12mm bolts (-2 deg, 0.00 toe-out) but am now thinking about...

Test-driving the £12995 trophy out of Renault in Coulsdon this Friday and boy am I going to wring it's neck out! I figure I'm going to head South towards Merstham on the A23 then return via the country roads through Chipstead that run parallel to the A23 to ensure that my passenger will...

Just interested as its a "special" anyhow... I doubt you want to change the suspension....(shocks)? Exhausts Induction Engine Ride height.... (consider Eibach springs etc) Brakes Andy GDI

I would like to buy a couple of harnesses in preperation for the Trackday on the 4th... Being new to this, I was going to go fo rthis Sparco FIA approved set: http://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/products/ ... =S/H4704VB Sorry to ask silly questions but... 1) Is Sparco a good brand or is there...

i'm finding quite often when i set off that the handbrake has seized over the last few days. it's not a huge problem, theres just a crack as it unsticks then it seems to be fine. although i think sometimes there is a bit of a grinding through the brakes - perhaps there have been small deposits...
