Sadly the time has come to part company with my much loved Renaultsport Clio Trophy.
It is build number 226 of the 500 that were released in the UK and has just over 54,000 miles on the clock. This will creep up as the car is in daily use
It has a full service history and benefits from a very...
Bit of help needed deciding on what tyres to buy. They'll be for track use only, pretty much exclusively Anglesey and Oulton Park, and shod on R15 5.5" steelies - don't know if that would need any consideration with sidewall stiffness? Car won't be caged and will be driven to and from the...
I'm thinking of starting to machine polish the trophy as i can see some general swirling which would be nice to get rid of. Has anyone been doing this on there T? Does anyone know is our paint clear coat or two part and does the paint seem to be quite soft? I should find this by experimenting...
Hi,
I test drove a Megane 250 Cup and Clio Sport 200 back to back today and I can't decide which is better.
The car will mainly be a daily driver with occasional trackday use.
The handling of both is great but the Megane might be a better car to live with day to day (if only it looked better)...
hi,
It is with much regret that I am putting #322 Up for Sale. :( I want to pay off my student loan and get a cheap run about - I'm just not doing the Trophy justice driving it back and forward to work!

Need to replace my rear brake pads, which pads are people using? I have ds2500's on the front which are great, as the rears dont do a lot is it worth just getting a cheaper pad?
Cheers ed.
Pick my car up from jamsport saturday after having ported and matched inlet, custom remap, whiteline rear arb, pagid front discs, ferodo ds2500 front pads, goodridge braided brake hoses all round and 5.1 brake fluid so will let you all know the results fingers crossed they will be good :lol:
I'm after anyone's experiences with fitting brake ducts in the Clio fog light holes. Does it make a worthwhile difference to brake cooling? Did you fit a collar on the front facing straight ahead to help catch the air or just ducting back from the holes? I imagine that fitting the ducts from a...
110 has done 38,769 but I've only done just over 2k since acquiring her in June 2010. I'm just curious as to how well used these cars are on average? Is your Trophy a daily driver or a weekend/summer toy?
Cheers! :)
It is with much regret that I come to sell my Clio Trophy. I have run out of space and my girlfriend has run out of patience with not being able to park near the house!

All,
Can anyone tell me if the front wheel bearing is the same as that of a 182 sport. Mine was being down today but GSF sent two, both of which were incorrect. I've told my mechanic to order straight from Renault in the morning.
Just wondering the experience of others on here.
Thanks,
David.

Hi all,
My partner has opted for self employment and as I have not used my car since September, I am looking to sell my Trophy to cover the everyday bills. As you will see below, the car has never gone short. I am in two minds about selling it and will be genuinely sad to see it go.

My rear pads need replacing very soon i've used the search facility and found lots of posts regarding brakes etc.
Now i know the brakes at the rear only take about 20%, so i was going to go for either the standard renault OEM pads or the Ferodo DS2500's which i think quite a few people are...
Hi Guys,

Due to a change in financial circumstances :( I'm taking the rather hard decision to suspend my insurance policy (a huge cost for me being 20) and lay #110 up until maybe spring or early summer next year. That way I'll be saved from renewing my insurance again in June as I can potentially...

I have always enjoyed washing/detailing my car and friends by means of just a wash, clay bar and then a wax. However 'gib172' put his dual action polisher up for sale on here and i thought ill take it the car cleaning a stage further and purchased it.
Anyway here's my first attempt...

Pagid RS4-2 blue pads and Goodridge Braided hoses with stainless fittings (4 hoses (2 front, 2 rear)) in original packaging.
These have covered under 3k road miles (car hasn't been used on track). I would estimate the pads have 90% material left.
I paid in the region of £260 + delivery for...
