Original Equipment Trophy Wheel and Tyre.
Wheel has kerbing (hence why it's a spare) but is perfectly straight and in otherwise mint condition (It had only done about 4000 miles when the Pikey in his transit drove at me on a very narrow road) and has a quite worn but legal PE2 on it that has...
Cars having a service on Sat morning.
Is it worth putting different brake fluid in??
As mechanic will either replace original or upgrade if i supply.
What you guys got, any difference?
And mighty fine it was too. I'm very, very impressed with the car. :) The weather was mostly absolutely terrible, but the lil' Clio only got passed by one other car the whole evening, and that was a VW Beetle from the Beetle Cup, running an R32 engine and full race wets! I've got some pics from...
My car is now back from Ben, who fitted cams, modifed inlet and a re-map. His only concern was that as the car has only done 4,000 miles, all on the ex-factory full synhthetic oil, that the rings may still not be fully bedded in - wants me to use ordinary mineral for a while - and so installed a...

K-tec are no longer stocking Orbisound Exhausts. They are selling off their last 4 systems for the 182, 2 race and 2 soft, and they also have one backbox for the 172 if anyone is interested.
Yes, as I'm sure you know, I spent last Thursday - Monday in France with just me, my truly wonderful girlfriend, and the Clio. Oh, and lots of French people.
Here is my trip in pictures:

Loads of nice cars were about, as...

Anyone on here? If so it would be interesting to know what was involved in the conversion in terms of parts, complexity and cost as people have enquired about this previously iirc.
I went on the hunt yesterday to buy a new 'stop-gap' car... one to get me around the country looking at potential Trophy replacement candidates so I can avoid taking the train everywhere!
As luck would have it, I found the perfect car (relatively speaking...). I might muster up the courage to...

I found it hard getting the info about removing the OE gear knob so thought I would post up my method on here for those who don't fancy getting the hacksaw out.
1. Pop the silver insert out with a flat bladed screwdriver, to avoid damage.
2. Heat the bastard up with a hairdryer until it is...
Havn't posted for a while but after searching the many posts on here and cs about brake upgrades, I plumped for the pagid blue rs 4.2 pads and new brembo high carbon disks.
I had them fitted at GDI last saturday (Thanks Andy & Mark) Their service and attention to detail was excellent. I...

Visited a friends house Monday to have this fitted, would have thought it makes the car loud inside and rattley but no, fits perfectly and no noise whatsoever, happy days :)

Sorry about the subject title,
but i am angry. parked 216 on my parents driveway whilst watching the foot today. when i left it it was fine, but when returning to it after the game i found the following on the passangers front wheel arch!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Good knows how it happened, my alarm...
Well... which car? :)
I find myself looking longingly at the Liquid Yellow (without scum stickers) Megane R26 that blasts the opposite direction to myself every afternoon on the way home from work. I just think it's a gorgeous car, and I think I may have to own one.
Being less realistic...
Having being trying to sell my Trophy for a couple of weeks now I have not had a single call. I can only put it down to these reasons:
1) It is overpriced. (seems about the right price compared to others)
2) There are too many others currently for sale (only found about 3 others nationally)...
I feel very lucky to still own a Trophy today.
Only 1 day after getting a new boot lock under warranty (wasnt locking)
spotted 2 lads eyeing up my Trophy and next doors S3.
then woke up at 130am to 4 lads climbing back over next doors gate and doing a runner.
Scumbags had got in2 my...
right, having given up trying to find some Speedline corse 2020's for my track tyres, what are peoples opinions on the following:
Turini's - standard trophy ones, albeit in 15"
Team dynamics pro race 1.2's
OZ Ultra leggera
that's what i've narrowed the search down to.... has to be 15"...
Right well i havnt even bought a clio trophy but judging from the reviews on the morego 202, i plan to do this mod to my Trophy.
Opinions please as i know it is a limited edition model.
Would it affect resale in a bad way?
Also does it need mroe power?
Thanks
Greg
I'm thinking of booking a trackday soon....
Apart from the obvious things like insurance, helmet etc
I was wondering if any of the trackday veterans on here could give me any advice.
I'm looking for info' like, what should i take with me? Do i have to tape my lights? Do i have to fit a tow...
I was very excited to read about the new Japanese Civic type R. Apart from a boring 4 door saloon body, the prospect of 225 PS, 8,400 rev limit, reasonable torque, Brembo 4 pot callipers, 18" lightweight rims, gear type LSD, proper independent rear suspension etc was very tempting. Still not a...
Is it just me or does anyone else get treated like a total tw*t whilst driving their trophy?
On numerous occasions i have been driving the trophy well within the speed limit and have been abused by pedestrians, to whom it must appear i'm travelling much faster than i actually am.
It happened...
Loud squeek coming from front of car. Seems to me it's coming from near side suspension. (pushing down rapidally on bonnet suggests this too!)More it's driven in one stint the worse it gets. Anybody had such problems? :roll:
Is anyone able to give an accurate weight for the Orbisoud system? Race version, manifold back with sports cat. I cant find the information anywhere.
Also would be keen to know what the standard system weighs to compare the two.
Thanks

I'm drowning in stupidity over there. Someone talk some sense into those people who think the Trophy would corner better if it didn't cock a rear wheel under hard braking and cornering. Include some pictures of FWD race cars doing the...
