So 219 is now 3 years old and at 26k miles, the annual service is due in December but its my intention to bring it forward before a small road trip to Wales. Now how many people have taken the precaution of having the Aux Belts changed when there car got to 3 years. I’m in two minds to...

In my short time here (a week) I get the impression that trophy owners seem to be older and more mature than normal RS owners. Is this a fair assumption? For the record i'm 28 and pick 480 up tomorrow.

The fronts on my trophy are well overdue for a change and im tempted to change and try the toyo r888s, Has anyone tried them for everyday road use?? ive read all the write ups about them but just wondering if anyone on here has tried them?

Has anyone used these on there trophy? Did it mark the paint or spoiler? I have not used one for years. Last time I took my bikes on hols I hired an estate car.

I've decided to finally upgrade my front brakes. Having looked on Yozzasport, i discovered that the Original RenaultSport Front Discs are more expensive than the after market Brembo Plain Cut front brake discs by £40. Does anyone know why that is, i'd find it hard to believe that the original...

Guys.... I recently had the discs and pads changed on No 142. Have replaced front and back discs with genuine Renault discs (got these at a good price!) and decided on some 'uprated' pads. Went for some from K Tec - Ultimax brake pads. The brakes now work so much better (as you'd...

Yesterday morning i levered myself out of bed at 5.30 to make the 80 mile trip to Mark Fish to get; Goodridge Braided brake hoses, Pagid RS4-2 pads Brembo Max discs Combrake solid top mounts fitted Sachs dampers unpinned And camber (2 degrees) and alignment (10 minutes) dialed in...

I know this has been visited many times but I'm looking for some new brake discs and pads. Not fussed about track use, just want a good road set. They've got to be good from cold, not mark my alloys, no noise and I don't want to change the brake hose etc. I'm keeping it simple. Any ideas, plus...

old brakes on the trophy were absolutely shot, to be polite. I was amazed at the condition the discs were in after 16k miles. Decided to go for brembo max discs and redstuff pads for fast road use as the car wont ever see a track day. They have been on a couple of weeks and very impressed with...

Need 4 new tyres, couple of quick questions please folks; Is it best to stick with the exaltos or are the PS2s better or any other worth considering ? What should I be looking to pay, all fitted ? Last set did 13k - is that high/low/normal would you say ?

My car needs a new set of front pads. I've decided on buying Ferodo DS2500's but everywhere I look the prices seem so largely different. The best price I have found so far is £99.98 for the pair. Does anyone know of any company that sells them cheaper or is this the best I'm really likely...

I know a lot of you are interested in the system, and i must admit i'm starting to look so i thought i would get some more info. If your ever wondering what this said on their site... Read on : ) La ligne s'adapte directement à la sortie du collecteur. Le catalyseur 400 cellules...

During service noticed inner edges of discs had rust build up, so do i replace with stock items or different?? Can get standard set up for £140. Don't want anything too agresive or wheel lacquer eating as i use car everyday. On CS they seem to rate 'green stuff' amongst many?

Finally got some pics, they're not great but at least they'll give you an idea. Enjoy . . .

I'm considering purchasing a Trophy in September but I've noticed a few of the regulars on here commenting about the motorway ride. Is it really as bad as people make it out to be? I'll be frequently travelling to Birmingham, Bristol and London so I'll be hitting the motorway quite a lot...

Well... which car? :) I find myself looking longingly at the Liquid Yellow (without scum stickers) Megane R26 that blasts the opposite direction to myself every afternoon on the way home from work. I just think it's a gorgeous car, and I think I may have to own one. Being less realistic...

Wanna get no.31 on the RR sometime to check whats actually coming outta the wheels. Thought the Trophy would be a bit nippier but it could just be the way im driving it coming from driving a diesel for the last 3 years! Got a Orbisound and IK so expecting 190 at the wheels? Or am I in dream land?

I've never suffered from the infamous 182 top mount knock, but a couple of days ago my Trophy started making a knocking noise when maneuvering at slow speeds. I assumed this was the knock, and thought nothing of it, but it has been getting progressively worse since then. The knock was then...

unsure whether to be worried or not! it only ever seems to be when both the car is cold and when at full lock. There is a slight knocking. Only really noticed it over the last 2 days. Doesn't sound massively major, and handling is not affected. I think it has been happening since I picked the...

Could possibly be a really dumb question. Is damper performance dependent on weather? Over the last couple of days it appears to have got warmer and my car seems to be noticeably more supple over the bumps. In contrast a week ago it was around 0c and it felt a lot harder and less compliant...

Saw this on Ebay, its not my cup of tea but thought i'd post it as it might be of interest to the track affecionados, that and the fact Orbisoud exhausts are so rare... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Clio-182-Orbisoud ... dZViewItem

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...

Hi all im getting a trophy asap just wanted to no what the best exhaust and induction kit is for this Car thought id ask the owners. Thanks

This weekend I was driving around with the window down, and noticed that i am getting a rattling creaking noise from the window. It is fine when it is all the way up/down, but when it is in between the noise starts. It is starting to do my head in :evil: Any ideas. Steve

http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=152122 Can't wait for this. Do you think Stromba got invited with his Williams?

Just a quick question, whats your mpg like at the mo? My Dads moved jobs a couple of weeks ago and since the longer journey to work the mpg has gone up .1 everyday! Its now at 34.5mpg and hes only using unleaded as there is no super around here.

I always have my cruise control switched to the "on" position (after all, you don't really want to be fiddling round under the dash while driving...) but find it really irritating that the dash display then defaults to the "set speed" mode. Is there any way round this or am I just going to...

As above. What width are the alloys?

I'm now planning on keeping my Trophy long term, but find I miss some of the toys from my old M3, in particular hands-free Bluetooth phone connection and Sat Nav with TMC. I’ve been looking at different stereos systems with Sat Nav available on the market but very few are available...

:roll: Hi guys and girls this is my first post I’ve had the trophy since September and I would like to add it is one of the best cars I have driven. BUT I really need some help the think is there is a grinding noise coming from the front and the suspension sounds very noisy at...
