handling

just decided to phone up and order the Spax lowering springs for the trophy (20mm) but they have been discontinued due to a lack of sales??? lol Not being funny but i said to the guy that there are only a percentage of the 551 or so trophys in the world that are gonna want to lower them...

Still not forgotten about the write up, in the middle of a contract bid, so a bit busy.....here's some photos in the meantime!

Can anyone tell me the correct suspension settings for a trophy. F/R toe, Camber etc as I'd like to check all the settings on my car. I suspect the 60% worn tyres are contributing to the torquesteer, but would like to check before replacing them. Note that 7MAT seems to have increased...

Right, I'm about to sound like a right novice, but is the Trophy rear suspension much different to a normal 182 cup?

This just in my inbox. New Clio 197 incl Metallic for £13995 OTR with 12m RFL. There's a six week delivery time, any further info just pm me. One or two have swapped Trophy or 182 Cup for 197 and I'd always look at a p/x. Cheers, Steve.

I wonder how much these wil go for!! http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/RENAULT-CLIO-TROP ... dZViewItem Should be a good price for these and an excellent item for someone wanting to experience decent handling! 8) :lol:

Beginning to get used to the power/speed of my trophy now and not far off paying it off in full, fancy an upgrade, i love the handling but would like at bit more power at the top end. Having looked at k-tech site and Yozzasport quite like the look of a throttle body/ turbo conversion, pref...

Another Trophy seen within 5 miles of me going past McDonalds in Didcot about 5ish. Anyone on here?

I'm going up to the Lake District in a couple of weeks, can anyone recommend any good roads up there?

Did my first trackday yesterday and i have to say that i enjoyed it even more than i expected too so i am counting the days down to the next one. I do have a few questions though for you guys that have done more than one and have upgraded their cars. My trophy is standard and i thought the...

Hello Clio owners, just found out about your site and it looks really good. I have a black 172 ph2, it has been lowered 40mm on apex springs, got a pipercross air filter( looking for new one might have BMC carbon ), DTM mirrors and upgraded speakers all roung. Any advise on other things to do...

you waved to me this morning, you were heading towards Hockley Heath at around 8am appologies for not waving back, i was lighting a fag at the time! (Black V6)

I'm sure this has been discussed at length before, but how do these two compare? Obviously I could search old posts, but... I know some people here have owned both, and I'd be interested to know their thoughts. I'm not going to buy one - I specifically looked for four seat car when I...

What do you guys think as a good front/rear balance for standard every day driving?! Any idea of an optimum balance?

Hi all, In the run-up to 56 Plate I have been offered an increasing number of possible trade-ins by dealers. Many replicate existing stock. I've just repriced this car to sell. The link is below. The details are also in my weblog. If you or anyone want a bargain 'as-new' 2005/05 Clio 182...

To all the guys who've had their alignment done... Did you need camber bolts on the front wheels? I am about to have mine dialled in with about 2.2 degrees of front camber but I am not too sure how much camber the front can adjusted utilising the stock suspension geometry. I understand...

they can be any format or generation. mine are; daytona usa arcade gran turismo lotus turbo challenge 2 amiga geoff crammands f1gp amiga metroppolis street racer dreamcast daytona is my fave arcade racer. the first time i went to the troccadeiro in london, about ten years ago...

Read this Q&A on the Renault Sport site: ============================= jimbo666 asked: factory damper settings, clio trophy: hi. i wonder if you could tell me how many turns of the dial from the hardest setting down to the softest setting to put back to the factory setting. Allen Collen...

My front tyres are seeming like they only have a couple of k's left in them but the backs seem ok still. From some of my 'energetic' driving i have worn the edges on the front set a bit too. So here's the question! Should i swop the fronts to the rear and then replace them as and when, or...

Hi Guys, Details of my car are as follows: S1 111S Lotus Elise (V Reg) Azure Blue with Factory Hardtop, plus black Soft-top Leather Seats, full Carpet and full Alcantara interior re-trim 47K with full service history, all bills, MOT's etc Larini Clubsport Exhaust Hurricane Induction...

Hi folks, rory182 from cliosport here again, following the success of my justmatz.co.uk and blueflame exhaust group buys I'm organising a tyre group buy. The PE2 tyre as fitted standard on 182 and 182 Trophy is excellent in my opinion and so I'm trying to save a little money when it comes...

Fact is you cant get them anymore. Well not new. And i want one. So i have decided to build one. Thats right im going to take a mk2 shell, buy a 182 engine and build my own Trophy. I thought this was a good a place as any to document my progress in this project. I intend to get hold of a...

You have probably all seen this before, but just thought I would post it for those that haven't! http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid ... lio+trophy

Now don't shoot me, but I'm a Civic Type R driver, had one for 4 years and looking for a change. Been considering a cup for a while, and now that Trophies are starting to 'possibly' fall into my price range, I thought I'd do some research! Now there's no doubting the looks, performance...

before: after: :lol: iknow i have ruined it, only got photoshop 2 days ago been on it alot getting better slowly, opions from people welcome. thanks Ash :)

They tested it against the Astra VXR and Focus ST, and in many ways it came out on top. Obviously not the quickest, but ride and handling were better than the Focus. Not much slower to 60, but 2-2.5 secs slower ot 100 mph. Interestingly its weight is a killer - it is slower than their test in...

Many thanks to Olis for recommending Aurok for my geometry check. Although using the ‘old fashioned’ method of string and gauges, they confirmed my suspicions of incorrect tracking and mismatched camber angles. The camber was obviously slightly out from the factory but the tracking...

Just to say hi really, i'm currently sorting out selling my Seat Ibiza Cupra to upgrade to a newer car. I have semi made the decision of getting a trophy, however having not driven one, or any clio for that matter my mind might change. My friend has a 172 Cup which seems excellent so i'm...

HOW MANY GIRLS ARE IN HERE???? if any, how old and er ASL lol well a and l cos obviously there girls i mean female dammit!

Taking over from Pete G's post in the number plate thread, how does everyone use their ESP? (no responses about extra sensory perception please! :wink: ) Day to day driving, I just leave it on, you never know when you may need it's assitance (oil on the roads etc). When I'm driving hard...
