I met Harry Metcalf at an evo track evening last year and he asked me why I had not thought about a newer car, implying that the new models are better.
Any way with this thought in mind I went and test drove a Clio 200 on a cup chassis the other day.
My thoughts, new car is bigger, much more...
Help my passenger side Recaro has broken. Its the sliding piece of plastic attached to the cable that tilts the seat. The plastic has disappeared so I dismantled the seat and found just the end of the cable, so contacted Recaro about sourcing a replacement. They have told me they don't have any...
Literally just 10 minutes ago some women crossed the magic line by a good 3 feet and smacked into my mirror, my window was down and the reflective part hit my on the chest and the plastic cover came off in one piece but now missing the clips. Anyway she didn't stop so i'm left with a broken...
I've managed to get the ball joint from the hub despite the thread spinning with the nut, grr! But now i can't shift the rod from the bar. I'm using a 21mm spanner on the rod and 13mm spanner on the bar...i could do with more leverage and will try and think of something. I'm spraying wd40 but in...
Hi all,
This is a problem with a 2005 182 cup with Recaro's fitted (from the factory)
"Nearside front passengers seat cannot be secured in the upright position"
Basically, the back of the seat can be pushed forward without pressing any of the levers, it won't lock in place, this also causes...

OK, so last night i got the Geo done by a mates garage. Yes, they are a bodyshop, but when you are the authorised repairer for Lotus, Aston, Ferrari, Lamborghini & Pagani, you probably know how to set up a clio lol ...
So, effectively, since we fitted the front suspension, the Toe has been out...

What is a trophy worth in bits? The car in question is completely standard with engine failure
Dampers are fine, one wheel has a kerb mark that I can see and the mileage is 65-70k miles.
I'm informed the gearbox is fine and the recaro's are in mint condition, any help is appreciated

Hi all,
Last year I was looking for a Trophy as a trackday-toy, in the end I went for a modified VX220, now though the Clio-itch is back.
I've always been drawn towards the Trophy, rather than the Cup, but is it worth the premium if the car is to be used as a trackday-toy/daily driver? Is a...
Hello!
My first post on here and was just hoping for a bit of information to help me along the way.
Thinking of selling my 172 cup and wanting to upgrade to a 182 trophy, i've looked at alternatives and feel the 182 trophy would be a great choice for me - has anyone else had a similar...

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...

After selling my Trophy back in 2009 i bought myself a Megane R26 as a replacement, from day one i never found it as exciting as the Trophy, i wasn't even excited the night before i went to pick it up!
After 6 months of owning the Megane and going from days of loving the torque and the sheer...

Hi all,
My car has felt a little "different" lately especially on the front passenger side. Doesn't seem to handle as confidently as it did and the front seems a little "bouncy". I can push the passenger side down and get it to bounce quite easily whereas the driver's side is solid and will...
