handling

Noticed one today, and it seems like the bods at Vaux have come up with an original idea of producing a limited run off 500 models of their hot hatch lol! On the other hand, i must say, it did look very very smart, and a LOT nicer than the standard vxr, obviously the handling won't be up to the...

Having been snowed in two years running, I'm thinking my trophy has a profound disslike to snow. Ok, I know it is not designed for it. I love my Trophy, but this gets me down every year. My dad has a VW Passat oil burner (No I say!) and has no problems what so ever. So people, what cars are good...

I always thought the speed rating for exaltos was V however looking through the official specification for the Trophy it states R?? Can someone confirm if this is true please?

Arrived Today. Cant wait to fit them and test them out. Ill fit them before the weekend. Here are some pics.

Have wanted one of these for a while, but there has always been reasons stopping me getting one... until now! with the prices of used cars fallen so much of late, I found this one at too good a deal to miss... so it's goodbye to the Golf and hello to my mid-life crisis car ;)

Hi, thanks for your time. My car is a Clio 182 Cup and I'm going to be getting a body kit for it. The kit is WIDE arch so the overall width will increase by approximately 200mm. That works out to about 100mm more on either side. So what happens with my alloys? I'm looking at getting new ones...

Solid top mounts are going to be fitted to my car shortly. Im going for the KTR Solid Top Mounts which look very similar to the Compbrake ones. Those of you with Compbrake top mounts fitted I want to know whether you have experienced any movement in the mounts resulting in geometry changes...

After a pair of Camber Correcting Bolts... Thanks.

Hello chaps, I had my camber and toe set up just before christmas, went for 1.5 neg camber and I was going for around the standard 12mins toe out, as per the common concensus. After speaking to the suspension expert at Northampton Motorsport, who were doing the setup I was advised to go for toe...

:oops: Fed up of my broken trophy suspension, i'll need to get some temporary suspension to use while the sachs are up being refurbed at the front, and i'll have to shell out £200-300 for some koni or sachs rear dampers. Then i think, why not just chuck some bilstein or H&R coilovers on...

CAR Magazine has on-line poll to find the best hot hatch of all time. Get Trophy voting (is near bottom of list - not next to cup ,williams and V6 for some reason?). We only have 13 votes! :oops:, Lancia Delta Integrale has 14% of the vote...

To all those who are looking for a Trophy or have recently purchased one (there seem to be many at present!). What's led you to your purchase?.. Wondering if something specific has sparked interest, like a magazine article or suchlike?

I'm going to look at an '05 with 22k on the clock in a couple of hours at a local garage, they reckon it's 24/500. I don't see it registered here so maybe not a forum user but just thought it was worth a quick check. Also, being new to this model is there anything I should be looking for? I...

Hi everyone i am currently looking for a clio trophy. I previosly had a red :) 106 GTI and loved it, the handling and feel of the car was realy good. However i have been savng for a long time and thought i would treat myself to a type r or trophy, the type r wonthere was just something about it...

Finally had the time and the weather this weekend to do some bits to the 5. Here's some pics, not great as by the time i finished drying it(no wonder they rust to bits i suspect most people lose the will to live and give up) it was getting dark and starting to piss...

I get a deep creak/groan sort of noise when pulling away. And no it's not the ABS system, it does it whenever pulling away from a standstill. Only started this week really, and i think it's related to my worn wishbone balljoints. Normally i'd think engine mounts but it dunno. Anyone else had...

The additional power from a nitrous system can be very addictive and because its such a simple job to increase the power (quickly changing a couple of jets), most users decide to take quick steps up the power ladder. It must however be remembered, that each step places increased demands on the...

Hi all! If your like me and enjoy reading car magazines such as Evo, Autocar etc etc. Then you'll see that the white R26R has been reviewed by every magazine under the Sun this month (including The Sun!!). So is it the new Trophy? Is it special enough? And will there soon be an R26R website...

Spotted you sunday on the A34 outside Bath more near longleat to be in fact! Gave a Trophy Wave and flash so you must be on here!

Hi there, first post on here and hope you can help. Ive got a 2003 Clio Sport and have owned it for 10 months now. Its a stab in the dark really as im not sure how best to describe this, but when I turn the car left it feels like the back end flips out and the car seems to be really unstable...
