Do we need more?
It's become clear over the last year or so that from the list of moderators only Cue actively visits let alone moderates the site and it seems even he is not able to come on as much as he once did. That's not to imply any criticism, people move on, have different priorities etc...
Hey guys! Just thought it would be interesting to ask clio sport owners a 'hypothetical question'.
If you could which of the following engine mods for the F4R would you go for and why?
Turbocharger
Supercharger
Throttle bodies
As a few people on here know last year I was the first customer to have Ktecs low pressure turbo kit fitted to my car. After a little while the turbo bug bit and I stripped the engine and rebuilt it using full forged pistons and rods as well as fitting a paddle clutch for good measure.
I'm now...
Recently when driving my temparature gauge is fluctuating, but always between where it should be around half way up and cold, it only happens when the car is warm, could it be that my thermostat has had? anybody else had this problem?
Any help guys much appreciated
Cheers

Hi everyone, looking for some advice....
My 43k trophy has been an absolute joy to own for the past year and a half although i am now beginning to wonder if something is up with it. When im driving along at normal speeds there seems to be a bit more play around the straight ahead when i wigle...
Been looking around for a cheap decent condition 172/182 Cup lately and this seems the best I can find so far - http://pistonheads.co.uk/sales/1405221.htm
Just wondering what you guys think of the price/spec etc as i've never owned a clio before myself.
It has had the belts changed recently and...
Just checked my tyre pressures after recently buying the car.
Rears were around 20, fronts were around mid 20's
Bumped them up to 33/30 as per the manual.
Car now feels very squirmy and skate like on roundabouts and such, it was like glue before. Do you guys find that less pressure works best?
I have placed an order for these on Tuesday and I still have not received them. I was going to phone up on monday. I have realised that they are based in the lakes and so are probably flooded. Anyone got any further info on their situation. Does anywhere else sell them? I have 2 fronts on the...
Since I've owned my T the Air con has been totally useless 'I know should have got it serviced when it was hot!' lol. I've had the car since 15k and I've used it only a couple of times ever! I just wanted to know if anyone else's Air con is useless? or maybe it's a 'common' fault!? or if it just...
Had a run on some Dastek rollers.
Best run was 156.8bhp at the wheels and 192.6bhp at the fly.
Interestingly I had just fitted a green cotton IK and have yet to fit the CAFs. The difference between bonnet up and bonnet down was 4bhp. Not an exact test but give and indication to how much CAFs...
for one reason or another, i wont bore you with the details I've had to buy 4 brand new PE2's to be fitted this friday. i have Trax sunday and have bought track time.

Curiosity got the better of me so I decided to strip down my spare damper to see the inner workings and also see if I could find out why it had gone ‘soft’.
I really had no idea what to expect as ive never seen the insides of a Remote Reservoir Damper before but I did have a picture in my head...
If i'm quite honest, I don't know much about how to maintain a car myself...always having to get my mates and their tools to help me out. Which isn't really a problem, but I want to start getting more involved. (bikes not a problem..but cars..i'm lost)
I bought my Trophy around June time with...
Dear All,
After getting back from South Wales today, I would like to ask: what is the best technique for carrying speed into and out of a corner in a Trophy?
I know all corners are different: different gears required, different braking points, different throttle pressure etc, but is there a...
Hiya guys just wondered if anyone knows how to remove the standard gear knob??
Also what tyre pressures are you guys using for every day rod use? (Exalto's)
ive just been on the k tech website and they now have a low presure turbo kit for all 182s, and they will take it to rs tuning in leeds for a custom remap (3 hours worth)it all cost around the 3k mark, on their graph is says its putting out 212 bhp and about 200 ib ft so that would put its power...

At the cars last service an advisary note on the receipt stated that the aircon gas was low and could do with being re-charged.
Around a month ago, when it started getting hotter, I noticed the aircon performance was really poor so I decided to get it re-charged.
I took it to Kwik Fit to have...

Wanted some advice on what products to are best? from my fellow trophy owners.

Well my question is, is there such a thing? If so what does it mean!

My Trophy has had new discs and pads fitted at around xmas time (before I bought it) and I took the trophy out yesterday to show a couple of mates. I must have driven about 10 miles on some country roads, fairly spirited but nothing insane with some mild braking. Next thing I know someones...

I'ved been considering the KTR uprated rear brake kit and wondered if anyone has any expirience of using this set up and whether it is any good? I'm slighty sceptical as the whole kit is cheaper than Reanult standard discs and...
