Not sure if this deserves a whole post but it all i have been dreaming about all day at work. Someone at work has just bought a Subaru impreza Richard Burns Special. And god does it look amazing :lol: The fastest car round the twisty stuff medal award in my carpark is now not mine...

the double R! Saw this on renaultsport forum. looks amazing http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/news/autoe ... s_off.html :D

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Whilst driving home today on the M4 westbound at J45 swansea, in the eastbound outside lane was a 172 CUP TOWING a trailer with a Caterham race car on it, it looked as if he was bloody flying along , one of the...

Hello all, I'm David and I'm thinking of getting a Clio Trophy. :) I currently drive an Audi TT Quattro Sport (that I've only owned for six weeks!) and before that I had a Ford Focus RS. I keep reading about how great the Trophy is and it's gradually drawing me in. I suspect I could have a...

Hi Guys I'm going down to France later this year, so I thought I'd ask Orbisoud how much one of their exhausts costs to collect from the factory gates. This is their reply; hello, price line complete racing : 1006 euros ht. soft : 1087 euros ht. best...

Just noticed in the admin area that the site has hit 30k posts! Thanks to Nik for setting it up, and everyone else for making it what it is! :D

out of interest, how does the trophy suspension compare with a clio 182 on aftermarket coilovers say H&R's. which is likely to perform better. If nobody knows then I will let you know what the answer is because me and some friends are doing a trackday...obviously my trophy, a 172 cup on...

I take it you guys have seen the Max Power (I don't read it I was shown it :P) article on the Trophy Vs CTR?

..... brake fluid... which one? Silkolene Pro Race 2000 Motul RBF 600 Dot4 Motul Dot5.1 Castrol dot 4 :?:

Does anyone know of a good video camera and a device to mount it in a car, sort of Top Gear style. I'm thinking of making my own road trip but video taping the journey from the passenger side. Has anyone done this before, if so can you give me some help and pointers???

Took my Trophy up to Ben R's place on Wednesday along with a couple of mates and am staggered by the difference to my car. Mid range has improved dramatically and the torque is much more like a Williams now. If anyone wants a go in my car let me know? :D

Go to http://store.cg-lock.co.uk/ and enter the amount you want and in the discount code area enter: RINGERSCGL :)

Well, nearly. Broad daylight, dry, country lane with flat (not ditched or hedged) runoffs. Road drops from plateau with sweeping left followed by tightening right under bridge and dropping steeply. Enter right on trailing throttle – some gravel previously dragged across surface. Get...

Could possibly be a really dumb question. Is damper performance dependent on weather? Over the last couple of days it appears to have got warmer and my car seems to be noticeably more supple over the bumps. In contrast a week ago it was around 0c and it felt a lot harder and less compliant...

Right, I'm just about to place my order for new front discs and pads, I've decided on Brembo High Carbon discs, as they are a cheaper and better alternative than the OE discs (which are often specified as these discs anyway), but after trawling through all the brake posts, I'm still bloody...

Just got the replacement for the Trophy yesterday. 20k miles on the clock and paid £14,750 from a trader completely factory standard. I feel guilty for saying it but it's better than the Trophy in every aspect in my opinion: The clutch pedal is harder, the brake pedal is harder and has...

Firstly I'd like to point out I've had permission from the moderators for this post as it could be viewed as an 'advert' Some background: at some stage, and 'when' will depend on many factors, the dampers will need replacing/rebuilding. The replace cost is prohibative and there's...

Need to get a replacement front splitter, anyone know a good source for these? I'm pretty reluctant to pay the £120 Renault want for what is essentially just a piece of shaped black plastic and probably costs 50p to make. Any help much appreciated, i'm going to France at the end of the...

I was driving down the M6 yesterday and got thinking about the feasability of fitting a six speed box in the little beast. Would this be possible? I know they used six speeders in the Cup cars, but they were sequential and expensive, also probably not ideal ratios for the road. How about a...

On behalf of a mate.... Unfortunatly i have had to grow up and sell the cup to make way for my first child!!! So here it is my cup that i have spent an absolute fortune on. First the Spec Chip Wizards re-map Group A Gearbox/Subframe Mount Janspeed Exhaust K&N 57i Induction Kit...

Took this morning after coming back from shops. Car was still cold so not as loud as it gets. Will get some better ones (louder) soon. :D http://s158.photobucket.com/albums/t86/ ... 0328-1.flv :)

Saw this on Ebay, its not my cup of tea but thought i'd post it as it might be of interest to the track affecionados, that and the fact Orbisoud exhausts are so rare... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Clio-182-Orbisoud ... dZViewItem

Now that the red beast has died (see R.I.P. #230 post in clio discussion) I've got my eye on a Ford Focus RS. On looking through tuning mags such as Performance Ford I noticed that a number of people have tuned their RS's to 400bhp and beyond, however, their 0-60 times haven't improved in...

A very good (enter time of day here) to you all :) Just a bit of a strange question... has anyone here drive or been in a Lotus Exige? How was it? Interested in views from either S1 or S2... Supercharged experiences deserve bonus points!!!! :lol: O.

Anyone any idea how the gearknob comes off, does it simply unscrew? Ive never really liked the clios plastic gearknob and fancy swapping it for a nice leather momo one or something similar. With it being a lift up reverse the choice of suitable gearknobs is a bit limited - anyone changed theirs?

Hi all im getting a trophy asap just wanted to no what the best exhaust and induction kit is for this Car thought id ask the owners. Thanks

Guys I was just looking at the Uniroyal Fun Cup and was just wondering "how much fun is that" until i looked at the prices for just one person. Then I saw the holy grail "SPA FUN CUP 2007. RACE FOR 25 Hrs". And its relatively cheap for a race series. I was just wondering how many of you...

had a good day playing with the mlr yesterday .

Sorry people, felt the need to post this as due to a 'cover up' by the Super Moderators (aka Laughter Police?) most of you will probably never know the amusement you missed out on this morning. Seems that one of the moderators had a little too much to drink last night and made a LOT of posts...
