Anyone noticed how there is never anything about Gordon Brown on the TV or in the papers anymore? Do we actually have a PM anymore??? Its like Gordon sat there and thought how can i get the lime light off me being so papa? ''I know i will make flu sound like its going to kill us all''. Just...

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...

Sadly a change in work circumstances saw me part with the S2000 after a brief ownership... doubling the amount of miles I do and getting an offer too good to refuse on the Honda (selling for a good profit having done 5k miles :D ) has seen me pick up this : Full John Cooper Works Body...

It's been a while since i've taken some photos of number 427. I have also been neglecting the paintwork but as i've been loving driving it again recently my love has been reignited :D Weapon of choice: Plus a huge selection of products. I got bored after 4 hours though. Tomorrow i will get...

In a thread comparing hot Clios to Focus RS's on an RS forum I've joined, someone responded to my post about my car by saying: =D> Suppose I could still change my mind and keep her! Thread (registration required)

Sorry for yet another mpg thread, but i find it quite an interesting subject! I filled up after work on thursday(shell 95 as was only option), drove home, average was 46mpg by the time i'd got back. Still hovering around 43mpg after work the next day. Drove up to central london at 8pm, still at...

Who has done it then? Anyone have any pics if so? I am going to North Wales for Anglesey this weekend and am taking a slight detour for a couple of hours on and around the Triangle. Seems a perfect detour to me. Did you enjoy it?

OK a few things have changed and my Anniversary is up for sale. We bought the car from a Fireman who got it from his local VW Dealership with just over 1K Miles on the clock and kept it for the next 6 years,The car has only ever been serviced from the same VW Main dealer he got the car from and...

A very sad thing happened to me this evening. I pulled into Shell to get some Optimax, picked up the nozzle out of its cradle and, as I moved it towards the filler cap, the rubber hose somehow pulled out the adjacent nozzle, which crashed down on to the side of my car. Owch. It's made a very...

Me and 'Tonyment' met up with a few guys from Cliosport for a drive out round Lancashire. It was organized by Matt over on Cliosport. He owns the LY V6 which I really enjoyed chasing through the back roads. :D Kept up no problem :wink: , although there was a scairy moment at one point where...

Greetings! I have found a Trophy for sale for £7485 with 48,911 miles on the clock. In your opinions what should I be paying for it and is that mileage too high? Also, should I expect the belts to be changed already? Cheers.

Hey, does anyone know the name of the manager/director of Renault UK, gotta send a letter to him with reference to a complaint about a local Renault garage which decided to take my car on a jolly when i told them they couldn't!!!! i know his name has been mentioned on here before but cant find...

Hello all, I am looking to get rid of my RS Megane 175 dCi and get a Clio Trophy. Surely one of you is feeling like you need a bigger car with better economy whilst still having a Renaultsport. See my add on Pistonheads for details. http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/897219.htm Anyone?!

This is something different but well worth reading. It was written by our learned friend in Stoke and we think is of interest to any car or bike owner. Well…………! In The Beginning there was Carbon and Hydrogen. These got together in accordance with rules forged in the Big Bang (yes, really!)...

i see RS have finally printed the sales data for the R27 in their "heritage" section... No suprise that LY was the most popular colour... Only 55 Nimbus made...by far the best colour IMO(especially if you went for all the graphics - as we did)...

My 182 needs its five year service!! What is the average price for this? Do you guys know of any garages in the North East or Scotland that can do this? Cheers guys

Hi guys, I'm going to look at No. 382 on Friday and if all goes well I'll bring her home on the same day. I've noted some info below and would appreciate your thoughts please. September 2005 (55 reg) 1 Owner 40k miles Full service history with all receipts (12k and 36k done at Renault, 24k...

Hi fellas A few of you will already know me from my involvement with Trackaction-Online, we are a trackday enthusisasts website and we also run some of our own track and driftdays which are open to our members and other owners clubs. Our aim is to run good value events with a friendly club...

i want to know whats the quickest way of getting rid of some unnesesary weight on my trophy. i am thinking of removing the rear seat bench as i dont really carry passengers much, i was looking at getting a carbon bonnet for the car but dont know how much this will cost and save me weight, and...

Although the Trophy being by far the best car i've ever owned, a pay cut at work, and the government putting my tax up, has left me in a position of considering selling up. I can afford the payments (just) but probably won't be able to afford to keep her the way she should be kept! As the...

Hi All, Been a long time since i was last in and need a bit of help. I want to get my wheels touched up - they are not bad enough for a complete refurb (wheeks off) i dont think. Can people reccommend a mobile person/company in the essex area that can do i good job? Cheers David.

Hello chaps :) Some may remember me, I'm not sure who's around from when I bought mine when the Trophy 1st launched. I had 297/500 for 8500 joyful miles, since then I've had a heap of cars of varying style. S2k/Audi TT/Integra DC5/Tuned Cooper S and now currently a Nissan 350z GT with a fruity...

I've reduced my car fleet to just the trophy now, and an impending company car. So i've decided to allow myself to start modifying again! What have you all done to your trophies, and were the mods worth it? So far i've just fitted decent bulbs and a great stereo system. Just ordered a 172...

Bit of a weird one, but thought it might be interesting to find out what everyone on here does for a living! I work for a Pharmaceutical Company....... (No its not another name for a drug dealer :lol: )

I'm thinking of upgrading my Cams. I've been looking at the K-Tec performance Cams and the Schrick Billet Camshafts off Yozzasport. Has anyone got these and can you tell me why the Shrick cams are £200 more expensive? They both claim to retain good idle etc. but do you know of any issues...
