Here we have my Renault Clio hill climber that ive used for the past 3 years with great success.
This car has been developed throughout my ownership to be a competitive car and the quickest Clio in class winning both my class and overall championship in 2013.
Throughout 2014 ive spent time...
Hi there
My trophy is up for sale - it is advertised on PH and Ebay (you can see pictures there). Located in West Yorkshire - for sale for £5500. Thanks! Any questions please message me
(There is a chip in the windscreen which happened 3 days ago on the motorway (? stone) - it is around 1-2cm...
Drove Goodwood for the first time yesterday, good fun that track. These were from my first session so not the quickest of the day but the bloody GoPro ran out of battery after this which was annoying. In the later sessions I was lapping nearer to 1:30 which I was happy with...
As per title?
I honestly can't see myself selling the little bugger. Took it for a blast on some newly discovered B roads recently and was still absolutley gobsmacked at how bloody good it is. :D
I bought a Boxster S six months ago and even though it's a brilliant car, unless you're a...
I'm thinking of buying a couple of Mich PE3's as the fronts need replacing.
Rears have covered at least 15,000 miles but have good tread.
Do you,
A) Replace the fronts with the new tyres?
Or
B) Switch the partially worn tyres on the rear to the front, and put the new tyres on the rear.
?
Right this might sound daft, but, i want to post a few pics on here of my T, but when i try it says my pics are to large, how to i get them reduced or whatever? lol
Hi fellas
After selling my Trophy I bought a 172 cup to build into a sprint and hillclimb car.
I may have posted this elsewhere but cant remember (must be my age!)
Heres the link to my blog.
Any questions post it here!

Hey all,
So I actually managed to drive a trophy at the weekend, my first time. It was a little disappointing but I have to say I don't think it was the best maintained example so that may be the reason for it.
The seats were fabulous (if the driving position a little upright),the steering...
Thy hallowed day will be Thursday 19th November. He will be removing and refitting too. Apparently the quickest turn around he can do is the following afternoon, as he has to spray loctite over it and let it sit overnight. I'm having new adjusters too, as when the pin is removed, the shaft the...
All,
Sadly the time has come for me to move on from the Trophy. It's an unfortunate casualty in a series of events and one I wish I could save, however having this and the Vee is out of the question and it'll sorely be missed:
It's had:
36,000 miles - and just had BOTH belts done -...
After my recent trip to the Ring in my Trophy I felt the car was lacking outright power which is no surprise as I used to track and ring an E39 M5. I bought the car with the intention of using it as a daily hack but a have really grown fond of it especially it's capability on track.
I now need...
Hoping for some decision making replies here :wink:
After doing bedford on monday, i need to improve the brakes, They're good, but not good enough, they are what was on the car when i bought it.
I'm not looking for disc recomendations as such as i have a set of brembo max's sat in the...
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...
Sometimes when i go to lock the car, it keeps bleeping........ yes i know normally it mean you havent shut the door properly but i have!! & its not the batteries!??
Another thing, sometimes when driving and i take my foot off the gas pedal it keeps going to hit limiter, and have to turn the car...
So many different reasons i'm guessing!
I bought mine as a daily driver to replace a boring VAG TDi barge. I have always loved french hatches, the handling balance and the way they handle bumpy roads is unrivalled by jap crap and german barges. Trophy specific, i always have to have good...
Hi, had 163 trophy for about 3 weeks nw, a loved every miunte of it :). Its 100% standard, except for brakes which i just upgraded. But want a bit of a louder nose of possible, Example: Air Filter or induction kit??? dnt want to change exhaust yet as got mot in 2 months.
Hi guys, my best mate is buying a 172 cup and he keeps saying to me (only to annoy me) that it's faster than mine from 0-60. Is this right? As I thought the Trophy is the quickest from 0-60 out of all the Clio sports..... :roll:
I've been told that it's reasonable to swap the front set of wheels for the back set of wheels in the interest of 'cough' preserving consistent tyre wear.
While I appreciate this is potentially a pikey way to go on tyres, it may make some sense as it means you can manage to have 4 newtyres...
Well, it hasn't been long in my hands and already I've decided that it's time to be a bit braver! I got married a couple a months ago as many of you know, and bought the R26 to replace my beloved Trophy #185. Having realised that I've probably only got a couple of years left to be utterly...
Hey chaps and chapesses.
Just thought I'd let you know that I'm getting married tomorrow, so wish me the best of luck!!!
I'm just a teensy bit crapping it!!!

Hi guys just got back from Germany and tackling the famous Nurbiurgring.
What a place!! Absolute mecca for cars and enthusiasts. Saw some pretty fantastic looking cars and also some sheds! However, the sheds where quicker!!
Trophy forum we must organise a trip as one of the fastest cars...
A while ago, an empty stretch of road presented itself to me, so I thought I'd see how fast the Trophy would go. Now, it wasn't the longest stretch of road ever so I couldn't keep my foot planted forever, but it was long enough.
It's not very quick over 100mph, but as it clicked past 125mph it...

Ok, so how many people here have had/driven both the trophy and 172's and 182's? to those of you that have I was just wondering how much better you would say the handaling is on the trophys then other clio sports.
Also how hard is the suspension as i have had a few ppl say that it is very...
