I know theres plenty of threads on exhaust choices here but it's time for me to invest in a new one as mine is starting to look and sound pretty tired, slight rattle and movement under center section. I don't want it to be loud so it seems like either of these is the choice, is any one quieter...

Hi guys. anybody recommend any uprated or performance spark plugs for the clios???

Hi all, Took my car for a power run today to see where the clio was at. I know you need to take the results with a pinch of salt but would appreciate anybodys view on whether or not the car is there or there abouts where it should be given its age and milage. Right the car has done 81000...

Hi, I'll be taking home my trophy very shortly. The one I'm buying has cloth rear seats that don't match the fabric of the rest of the car what so ever. However I've noticed in pictures on here that some people have some that match the recaros. Just wondered if it is meant to have matching rear...

I know this is a much discussed thread and I’ve trawled through the searches, but anyway I’m still undecided... My front pads are nearing the time to be replaced at the moment I've got the Standard Renault discs and pads. I’ve bought myself the Brembo HC Disks but I’m undecided which pad to...

Hi guys , I had thought that I would go for the Nitron Damper setup that K-Tec are developing for the Trophy but have read great things about AST. And I just wondered if anyone on here has them fitted and what they think ? Cheers Neil

Hi guys,I know you guys will be biased but why should I pay the extra for a Trophy over a 182FF?I know it's got the sachs but is the cornering ability that much better?Let me know your thoughts and why you went for a Trophy.Cheers.

Hi Guys , well have only just got my very first Renault Sport and it's number 451. I have driven lots of fast Clio's over the years and was looking for a reasonably priced Clio for trackdays and a little bit of agile fun. I have always loved the look of the Trophy and even though I am a VAG man...

Has anyone fitted winter tyres to their Turinis? I've got 2 full sets of wheels now so am hoping to do so soon. I recall reading somewhere that it's worth fitting slightly narrower tyres (more choice and saves money too!). I was thinking 195/45/R16 instead of the standard 205's? Will these...

Hi I have recently received my dampers back from Simon @ Cornering Force in Yorks. I have had several phone conversations with him, mithering him with questions and understanding what happens and what to expect. For background, he is a very knowledgeable chap and is involved in the Amd Golf...

Well thanks to steve i got myself a really nice set of headlights and he even fitted them to the trophy for me. People might not thing the are the brightest of lights but they make such a difference.

I really like the 182s because they are so cheap for the performance.  However my car is cheap to insure slightly cheaper to run and gets me from a to b if it breaks it is cheap to fix like the 182s so why would I upgrade what would be the point why doesn't everyone drive the same cheap eco...

Hi everyone. I recently purchased #151 from a very friendly Robert Evans from this forum. It need a few service issues addressed but I'm happy and it drives extremely well. I have been using the search function but I still have a few questions. 1) Brakes pads are 85% worn acording to the MOT...

I've been hunting around for a t for a while now, extensive research on here has really helped with any questions I've wanted to know or find put more on, so thank you. I am just wondering what people's views are on higher milage specimens, are they a pretty solid car if all he's been well...

Hi, I am doing my first track day oct 14th at angelsey (anyone coming?) I plan on changing my brake fluid and wondered what people used and recommend?! Also,would braded lines be a worthy upgrade or are they already braded on the Trophy? I have red stuff pads at present and grooved discs that...

I'm in the market for another Clio Trophy. Having had one before I know what there all about and think it would make a great weekend toy. I'm in no made rush but clearly wanna get the best one for my money. Ie dampers done if poss as well as good service history. Is it worth looming for one with...

Following on from some other topics and comments regarding Sachs and rebuilds, has anyone changed the Sachs for something else, if so what are the options? I know the Sachs are the selling point of the Trophy, but as there is a lack of new stock and the refurbs do not seem to last I am...

This was part of a stunning exhaust build for BB performance a few years back. The welds and workmanship is superb, I have the silenced de-cat left from the system which Stevo.C bought for his trophy. This will obviously improve flow through your exhaust system whilst not bursting your ear...

Hi guys, I was just wondering if anyone can recommend a good garage/specialist in the staffordshire/midlands area i can trust to work on my trophy. Im goin to need some new rear discs and pads soon but dont want just anyone working on it!!:) Thanks

Here I have for sale My Renaultsport Clio 182 Trophy 142/500. Reason for sale is I've purchased another car. I have owned this car since april and it has been totally faultess. I am an avid Renaultsport enthusiast owning a Ph1 172 before the Trophy and I am currently in the process of rebulding...

The exhaust manifold on my T seems to have a large dent. Where the manifold comes down past the anti-roll bar there is a large dent however this seems to be in the perfect position for it to fit around the anti-roll bar. Not sure whether or not this is supposed to be there. If the engine has...
