handling

Well... which car? :) I find myself looking longingly at the Liquid Yellow (without scum stickers) Megane R26 that blasts the opposite direction to myself every afternoon on the way home from work. I just think it's a gorgeous car, and I think I may have to own one. Being less realistic...

I was very excited to read about the new Japanese Civic type R. Apart from a boring 4 door saloon body, the prospect of 225 PS, 8,400 rev limit, reasonable torque, Brembo 4 pot callipers, 18" lightweight rims, gear type LSD, proper independent rear suspension etc was very tempting. Still not a...

Gave them both a clean and the CF bonnet has been removed from the Liquid now... as well as removing the Apex springs and fitting some Sportlines :D and a hint of what a white 182 might look like :wink:

I say Alpina Roadster 3.4 Lux, you say.....??? :) Just wondering people's thoughts of a Z4 Alpina. I have recently come to research a bit about them and they seem like a fantastic car. However I am aware some people wouldn't be seen dead in one... is that the case here too? Two...

Just got back from Northampton after purchasing Trophy 452. :) Pick it up next Saturday. One owner, ~4900 miles, 55-reg, as-new condition, completely standard. It looks just like all the others, but I'll be sure to post up some pics when I collect it. Haven't looked forward to picking up a...

http://www.renaultsport.co.uk/community ... hichpage=3 I'm drowning in stupidity over there. Someone talk some sense into those people who think the Trophy would corner better if it didn't cock a rear wheel under hard braking and cornering. Include some pictures of FWD race cars doing the...

Please put the standard bonnet back on!!!!!!!! :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

Hello, just wondering, as I have no experience of the clio sport range on how easy it is to tune the trophy or a basic 182 to 200hp? I am a believer in keeping rare, unique cars as standard as possible so subtle mods would be preffered! What have other members done? Cheers this is my...

Im going to look at a VX220 tomorrow! Really can't decide whether i want one or to stick with the trophy? What are peoples thoughts on the VX220? And do you think its worth the change?? Cheers

Has anybody here changed to an R26 from the trophy? what do you think? made the right decision? i dont want to regret it :( R26 test drive was good but you never can be too sure. Also, im looking to sell my Trophy so if anyone is looking and is in the Mid beds area let me know. It has 14k on...

Hello all, I'm David and I'm thinking of getting a Clio Trophy. :) I currently drive an Audi TT Quattro Sport (that I've only owned for six weeks!) and before that I had a Ford Focus RS. I keep reading about how great the Trophy is and it's gradually drawing me in. I suspect I could have a...

Hi bit unsure what tyre pressure is for the Trophy, I ve searched net and only found some general bumf saying 33 front and 31 rear. Trying to get set up for steering right as one tyre is brand new and other on front is half worn so have slight pull to the left! Can anyone help?

Hey guys, I have a rear anti roll bar and a front lower brace for sale. I bought it for my brother and he sold his liquid illusion yellow clio so this is spare, I have the rear anti roll bar on my trophy and it improved my handing so much it also got rid of the under steer on my...

I have a very late Honda Integra facelift car available. Reg'd Dec 2005 (55) so one of the last possible to bring over to pass the ESVA emissions test. Black with black Recaros and in beautiful condition. Just 1250 miles. It's what you might call Q Car spec with lip rear spoiler and de-badged...

I've had tommy for 8 months & just getting used to it, done almost 5k in that time. Yet i see owners who have recently bought, selling up. Is it a i've had 'one' kinda thing & move on to the next 'best thing'????

http://www.evo.co.uk/front_website/adve ... index.html Sponsored by Honda (hence the new CTR making the cut!) but great all the same, my first two cars are in it and in the right colours. Two other cars I'd love to own too, DC2 and Integrale. Bits to laugh at; Flawed dynamics of the 205...

to cut a long story short, Matt very kindly came round my house today to help me (i say help, he did pretty uch all of it :lol: ) take the legendary pins out of my suspension. Hit 1 or 2 problems but all is well now and I have been on a 45 minute country road drive on 24 a side and the...

Gave you a thumbs up this evening about 5ish Who was it?

From crisshark on Renaultsport: Discuss please. :lol:

Evo descrivbe the Trophy as 'the most fun you can have on 3 wheels' but my question is how do you get it on 3 wheels? Is it something that you should be able to do everyday or do you have to really push the car so much that you're very unlikely to achieve it safely on the road? Can you...

unsure whether to be worried or not! it only ever seems to be when both the car is cold and when at full lock. There is a slight knocking. Only really noticed it over the last 2 days. Doesn't sound massively major, and handling is not affected. I think it has been happening since I picked the...

Anyone recommend a company near Leics/notts?? Also what are the settings supposed to be?? Just want to get mine checked over ready for track day.

This weekend was my first really sunny weekend in the trophy and boy was it fun. Sunday I went on 3 random trips to nowhere in particular and im still so in love with my little car. Took the old lady out as well(1.8 16v) and they are both amazingly fun but now when i drive the old lady...

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 .

out of interest, how does the trophy suspension compare with a clio 182 on aftermarket coilovers say H&R's. which is likely to perform better. If nobody knows then I will let you know what the answer is because me and some friends are doing a trackday...obviously my trophy, a 172 cup on...

Mentioned selling my Williams Clio the other day, now cleaned (looking good) and on sale. Also LHD 106 Rallye with trackday suspension and tyre mods too. Both priced at £2995 - I don't really want to sell either but needs must. Details are on classified eBay ads. Already some interest in...

Sorry its taken so long to get this up guys - I've nicked my post from the Evo forum (Friday night + headache + still at work = get home asap) :wink: Basically the car was handling like a pig so it went off to the dealer to get it sorted (I posted about the problems in the "Faults with your...

Hi everyone, im now the proud owner of a 182 trophy, numer 352. :D I would have posted up some pics of it but... 1. I havnt took any yet, and.. 2. Its a standard trophy so you'll all have seen loads of them before anyway. Loving the car though, handling is superb.

Hey Gareth, your old steed is up for sale at a salvage yard! http://www.cit-ren.co.uk/
