    OEM rear pads

    I am planning on changing my rear discs and pads and am phoning round to get prices. Not really after anything uprated as I know there is little benefit and I like the fact the rear wheels are easier to clean. Are the original rear pads made by Bendix or some other manutfatuer? Anyone have a...

    Renault Clio 182 or Seat Ibiza Cupra TDI?

    Which one would I be best off buying? I don't do many miles as I work away so I drive mainly at weekends. So it got me thinking a diesel might probably cost more than a petrol. But the diesel cupra has sooooo much torque! But I have heard they can torque steer out of corners! Which could be a...

    Had Them Rebuilt

    My Sachs have now been rebuilt at a cost of £583.20 (inc VAT) by BG Motorsport. A brilliant service, very quick turnaround and smiles all round. However, I am a little frustrated with Renault. Clearly, when deciding how to see off the 182 they saw 1000 or so Sachs suspension units and...

    Just got my trophy and.........

    was wondering if you can get a few things that I need to getting it looking perfect 1) Were there any trophy car mats made, or just the regular renaultsport clio ones? 2) Can you get the transfers for the wheels, the speedline turini ones. Mine must've had a refurb and they're missing from the...

    Evo Top 100 Drivers Cars

    Two cracking results for Renault, Trophy came joint 7th with Ferrari F50 and R26.R 4th! One bug-bear i have though is they talk about a 'layer of squidge' in the Trophy's suspension leading to it not feeling very honed and taught, and i quote 'ooldes of pitch and roll'... WTF!! I put it to them...

The wife has her heart set on me getting a 330CI or 330 convertible, cos it looks "posh", and i was thinking of going for a 230 R26. BUT....... the question I want to throw out there...

    im happy that the renault beat the focus round the track, think it did it in 1.28.1 and focus 1.29.3, its 73 bhp less and £2000 cheaper but i will say the focus is much better looking and with all the luxuries on board itl be a better bet for everyday driving. if i wanted the car for performance...

    Rear dampers

    I have a week of work soon, so I was thinking of getting the front dampers refurbished. However, having seen a new suspension setup on another car (more in a minute), I want to do some suspension mods at the same time. Ok, in my opinion, The car is far too soft, more so at the rear. This is...

    New tyres being fitted!

    Hi all I have only had the Trophy a few weeks (1500 miles) but the PE2's on the front are in need of a change. I have tryed quite a few tyres in the past on my Ph1 172 but have never tryed R888's... so I thought I'd get a set and see how they do on a day to day basis through the summer. I have...
