handling

oh dear honda...where did it al go wrong? how did it come to this.... just read the review of the new CTR in EVO... i wonder how many people put of buying a trophy to wait for this effort..? 3 1\2 stars aint good...and dont get me started on the dash (looks dated already) still laughting to...

....right, get the grey matter working.... I'm embarking on a project car for track use.... any ideas of what to start with.. must have's: Rear wheel drive.. so all reno's are out bar the GTA Sub £5k purchase price At least 2 seats - Formula ford's are out at least a 2 ltr engine...

Going to get my car 4 wheel aligned next week, after i have fitted a new set of exaltos. This is to try and eradicate the twitchy, 'searching' feeling i'm getting under hard acceleration and braking. Can anyone help me with the following: 1, What is exactly adjustable on the trophy? Front /...

Firstly as a new member to the forum i'd like to say hi to everybody. Right here it goes... I'm 19 years old living in nottinghamshire, and have loved clios for years. I own a 2004 1.4 dynamique in black, which has been my pride and joy for about a year and a half. Even though I havent...

Odd one this but wondered if anyone has had similar? (I nicked my post of Evo forum for lunch break time save) Over the Christmas period Mario Kart was running fine and dandy, but I started to notice that a little bit of the steering feedback was gone when pushing on in the bendy bits. At...

Just wondering if anyone has any experience or advice about head unit and speaker upgrades for my new trophy. Not looking for a crazy install or anything like that, just looking for a half decent head unit that'll play MP3's and will be able to hook up to an ipod; And a set of front and rear...

...what would you be driving? 172 Cup? 182 Cup? 197? 230 R26? Focus RS? DC5? DC2? Williams? 205 GTI? (Me) 230/255 V6? Elise? Golf GTI? Mini Cooper S Works? Or what are you driving instead, and why not a Trophy?

All, Sometime ago I started a thread on suspension settings, and I've been very slow at getting round to the chassis setup I'd promised myself (& the car!). Question is, and Ive seen a thread on this, Will I need camber bolts to get 2 (or nearly 2) degrees of front negative camber? Is...

http://www.topgear.com/content/news/stories/1487/ I cant make up my mind if it's good looking or ugly... Aint gonna matter as it's not gonna look much like it when it's on sale. Just as the new Skyline and the new Evo are nearing launch does anyone think this will come out trumps?

http://www.evo.co.uk/news/evospyshots/2 ... us_rs.html ...and I want one already. Yes, too heavy, forced induction, blah blah blah but it's going to have over 300bhp and weigh less than an EVO X, it will rock. I feel sorry for all those poor sods in their ST's with Wolf and GGR kits...

Now that the red beast has died (see R.I.P. #230 post in clio discussion) I've got my eye on a Ford Focus RS. On looking through tuning mags such as Performance Ford I noticed that a number of people have tuned their RS's to 400bhp and beyond, however, their 0-60 times haven't improved in...

Hi all My names Mike, I live in Woking in Surrey and today I will be picking up Trophy number 226 that I bought a couple of weeks ago. Its in showroom condition with just 5000 miles on the clock plus permaguard and spare wheel. I'm so excited! Mike

Well i've had my second Trophy for a week now and racked up 300 miles but thought i'd share a few of my thoughts and findings from the time i've been driving the car. I bought my first Trophy (328) with 5500 miles on it, and this new one (474) had 7080 when i collected it. One of the first...

A very good (enter time of day here) to you all :) Just a bit of a strange question... has anyone here drive or been in a Lotus Exige? How was it? Interested in views from either S1 or S2... Supercharged experiences deserve bonus points!!!! :lol: O.

I was given a spare Exalto for xmas (thanks Dad!), my plan being to have a spare to take to a tyre guy if I need a new one after a puncture. When returning home today I was surprised how neatly it fitted on the floor of the boot, and this got me thinking. :idea: :idea: :idea: I'm...

Hey, Am off to Devon on Friday for a weeks rest woooo!! Got the tomato kitted out with some nice new exaltos today, took 50 mins at Elite in dagenham - freakin' ages but all the same it looked like they had done a good job, wheels nice and clean too! :D Anyway, I was wondering, I shall...

Just going to chill & have fun \:D/ Merry X mas everyone & happy new year, drive safe...... (tup)

So we've had the best, it seems most of my ex cars are rubbish, so what's the worst car you've ever driven? Mine has got to be that Ford capri, it belonged to an ex gf, had no tax or mot and was horrible it used to go round corners like a big jelly, the best drive i had in it was to the breakers :)

I have been thinking about chucking the trophy in for something more fun, getting a bit bored. Im mainly looking at the bargain monaro vxr's that have just come on the market maybe even a 500 version but im a bit worried i may wish i hadnt bothered. Want something with a bit more grunt and a...

which regards to EVO's totally flawed "best drivers car" thread ... whats the best car you've ever driven / been driven in ? (trophy excluded) for myself... driven / owned ...in no order M3 (E46) Impreza (standard 210bhp no mods) lotus elise s1 106 gti crx v tech 172 mk1 mk1 golf...

So i've gone and got a slow punchure :( This has got me thinking i need a spare for obvious reasons. What has everyone else done, just bought another turini from reno? (tad expensive) Can a std 182 alloy fit straight on and be ok to drive about on? even with the different offsets etc...

http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=187459 So it's better value to get a CAT D trophy than an pristine perfect example. What is CS becoming (tdown)

Would first like to say hello! :D Second, anyone know the history of the above trophy? cheers!

It'd been 20 odd days since my last outing in the trophy due to being busy and the rubbish weather we've been having. However my power steering pump failed on my daily driver (206) so i've been "forced" to drive the trophy. I woke up excited to drive it and got to work with a grin on my face...

http://www.renaultsport.co.uk/roadcars/heritage/clio182trophy/ Have you seen this on Renaultsport.co.uk, Trophy has some pages back here!:D Most interesting thing is they note there where 552 total registrations, I that 0/500 for UK and 0/50 for Swiss? does anyone know..

Has anyone on here fitted a rear strut brace? If so whats the thoughts on it - e.g is it worth it and has it made any difference to the handling? Just thinking that it may or may not be a worthwhile option on a Trophy. Probably something Renault would have fitted originally though if it did...

....in red :) http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/clio-172-182-rear ... dZViewItem

What's the most anyone's had out of their Trophy? A friend recently borrowed mine and said he took it up to 155mph with his dad in the passenger seat and felt like it still wanted to go even faster! I know the speedometer reads 160mph but I found this hard to believe as the spec notes top speed...

...what would it be, and why? No budget limits, but remember that although it will be given to you, you will have to fill it up with fuel and service it and this is your only car for the rest of your life, so if you EVER need a boot or have more than two friends, the Maccer isn't the obvious...
