review

I started a new website a few days ago and I'm now starting to share it about for more feedback. If you're interested check it out below and let me know any constructive ideas/criticisms you have. www.motorsportsreview.com we are aware that the site needs more work, it's seems a bit slow and...

So I have designed and fabricated lower rails for the recaro sportster cs seats for the mkII clio. They lower the seats 40mm more than standard rails and are a direct replacement. I am now offering these as a Group Buy for the Recaro Sportster CS seats, the cost will be £250 plus £15 p+p. This...

In this months Evo a 182 Cup gets 5 stars in a section called bargain hunt, some of the most thrilling cars of yesteryear can now be picked up for less than £4000. At least not all car reviewer's are the same!

So why was this thread deleted? I'm guessing that his visits last night were to fire off some threatening PM's. Pretty lame that the forum folded so easily, disappointing.

Another great review!!! http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/renault/clio/65346/renault-clio-182-trophyi, jsthomson

These are a hot topic at the mo so thought I'd post up my thoughts... I have now had Cooksports on my T for a week now. A point to note, my front Sachs dampers are in good condition, refurbed recently and no leaks... Rears however are cup shocks, awaiting new Sachs/Koni's to go on. Ride -...

Hello, I've bought a trophy and I love it lots, but there's a couple of niggles: 1) I feel the car is slightly down on power, the car has an incomplete service history and i'm told the cambelt was changed by the previous owner, it's suggested that I get the timing checked, does anyone know how...

Hi All I am trying to become a proper member by getting hold of a Trophy and Ive got a few options. There is one with 68k for £3800 timing belt done at 48k and another with less miles 40k for £5500.. Which would you go for if condition is not much different.. Not seen either but looking for...

Hi, I have found this review on You Tube; is it a joke?! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3PsD6yFyHPY You'll either laugh or want to hit him!

I really like the 182s because they are so cheap for the performance.  However my car is cheap to insure slightly cheaper to run and gets me from a to b if it breaks it is cheap to fix like the 182s so why would I upgrade what would be the point why doesn't everyone drive the same cheap eco...

Last weekend was my two year anniversary of owning the little French S1tbox, so thought id celebrate the event by giving it a well deserved clean over the weekend!! Method for the geeks: Pressure wash, AG shampoo & wash mit, bucket with grit guards, followed by half a bottle of of Iron-X. I...

Forza Motorsport 4 week has arrived. As i've played F3 SO much, the only downer for me could be the lack of new tracks. Rivals Mode looks like it's going to be huge fun. Trailer voiced by Clarkson; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PvimE0aNFOg

Trophy was handling like a bag of crap, noticed a bouncy damper so had it rebuilt at BG a few weeks ago. Also the exalto's on the front had come to their usable end so replaced them with the Pilot Sport 3's. Anyway, Trophy's feeling a bit weird in some corners, i cant really describe it, its...

Could do with 2 new front tyres and was wondering what people thought of these for general road use? http://www.camskill.co.uk/products.php? ... s344p59604 only £10 more than the PE3's, guessing they offer considerably more grip in the dry being a track focused tyre? But wondering just how...

Hi guys I have got some Eibach Sportlines on mine but it seems more people are changing the springs on the Trophy. Anyone got any good recommendations? .. I have even heard the soft dare i say Apex have even had good reviews on the Trophy dampers. Cheers for spring or damper related info...

Has anyone else noticed the trophy (in flight) on the cover of the Evo special "performance car heroes" Basically it's just a compalation of old Evo features, but still worth a look, I'd post a pick but I can from my phone...

Hello Just got my dampers back from Bg (who have done a top job) fitted the sportlines that a bought with them and the car looks higher!. Isn't is ment to be lower!? Anything I could of done wrong or any garage in the Leeds area who could have a look to make sure?.. Pics coming soon. Cheers

An interesting tyre review in this month's EVO (as well as a 20th birthday special on the Clio sports, with the Williams preferred). The tyre review caught my eye because it featured (an evolution of) a tyre which a few years ago highlighted to me the importance of tyres and the effect they can...

Sadly, due to personal circumstance No 435 is now for sale. It has done 38 200 miles and is in lovely condition, with 5 months MOT and 6 months road tax. Good bits: full service history, with auxiliary belt done at 32 000 front dampers refurbed and professionally unpinned 2000 miles ago...

back in November i a look at a Trophy for sale at the Arnold Clarke Ford main dealer on Scotswood Rd - Newcastle Upon Tyne. up for £7500 with 40k on the clock - Reg SM55 FUV - aparently came from a scottish dealer Described as "mint" by the clueless salesman when i went in... however it was'nt...

I loved the Trophy and thoroughly enjoyed my 12 months with it, but one lazy Saturday afternoon I read about the Clio 200's top-5 finish in eCOTY and casually trundled down to the local Renault Garage to see what all the fuss was about. Three days later I placed my order. There has been a lot...

Hi, Has anyone fitted an LSD to there 182? or any other type of diff. Would it be worth fitting an LSD to a 182? Imagine an LSD on a trophy! putting its power down! 8)

Hiya all, am looking for a set of these as my next compromise road tyre. I am having a hard time finding them in Trophy size, any tips? Camskills do them but are out of stock ATM. Cheers,

Dont know if you know this but its on 5th gear later, should be interesting to see how much its moved on.(if any?) :?: Not to everyones taste I will admit but booked a test drive later this week :oops:

Hi all I have only had the Trophy a few weeks (1500 miles) but the PE2's on the front are in need of a change. I have tryed quite a few tyres in the past on my Ph1 172 but have never tryed R888's... so I thought I'd get a set and see how they do on a day to day basis through the summer. I have...
