Hi all. Currently looking at changing my car at the moment and I really want a Trophy. Be prepared for some questions regarding these. Been looking at the forum for a while and think it's awesome, seems to be a decent bunch of people. My MINI Cooper S will be in the for sale section...

hi guys trying to make a decision as to buy a trophy a type r or a cupra r, would really appreciate some honest advise off anyone mature enough to give it please. i want to tune the car so clearly the seat has the advantage of already having a blower on it, but on the other hand i want...

I took some time off work, was supposed to be doing some sensible stuff round the place. Kind of got side tracked, but said side track may of more interest to this forum. Following from previous threads about camber adjustment amongst other things. Day 1 Permagard treatment...

Easy to remove for track days. vroom vroom boom boom.

We have a lesser clio model in our family - a 1.2 16V. I'm 6'4" and whilst the driving position is ok, heal and toe is virtually impossible. How do the seats differ in terms of height in the 182 and trophy? Are they much lower and alow more room directly under the steering wheel for heel and...

Finally a weekend to give her the once over, finished nicely with P21S Wax..... Feels like glass!

Hi guys. I currently own a 320bhp 1600cc Escort RS Turbo. It is a truly awesome car in very many ways, but I am considering moving on. It is so difficult as that car gives me SUCH a buzz to drive. Problem is, it's starting to show its age and is getting to the point where I may have to...

So Oliie's post about trackday rims and tyres got me thinking that I should probably do the same thing and get a set of trackday tyres to stop me killing a set of road tyres every other trackday. The tyres that I have read the most about on this forum are the Kumho V70A's, and I just want to see...

Anything! Where has everybody gone?

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...

Hi Guys (and lasses) I'm about to take the plunge and part ex my mini cooper for a Clio 182 or 172. The problem I have is which model? I know alittle bit about the BHP increase and the twin exhaust, but other than than, nothing! Can anybody please guide me as to which one I should get...

Hi folks, newbie here today but thought i'd logg on and get some advice. Basically i'm presently driving an 05 clio 1.2 16v and am now looking for something a little quicker (previously had a Type R Civic but had to sell it to do the house purchase thing) - my budget is 10k and I cant decide...

Ok, I currently own a S2 106 Rallye. Absolutly love the car to bits, I've owned it for 3 and a half years and is standard on the outside (including the white steelies) and I have a straight through exhaust + de-cat. I've toyed with getting something faster for a few months now, but I don't...

Already planning next car, won't be for a while yet. The thing with having the trophy is because it does things so well, i.e great handling, quick, pretty practical, comfortable with toys. It makes thinking about a new car pretty difficult. But I think i've narrowed it down to these 2. Your...

Hi guys, im in the process of buying a house and the CTR is proving costly in terms of monthly payment and fuel so thinking of changing to a trophy. Looked at them last year but decided to keep the CTR. Will i find driving the trophy a big change to the type r? What should i look out for...

How much does the air con weigh in the trophy? Was told about 40kg - sound about right? Also, is stripping it out classed as a modification for insurance purposes? Thanks
