road

My Mrs spotted you this morning (08:30) going towards Huntingdon on the A14 just past the racecourse. She said it looked like you were going up and down the slip road to jump the queue of traffic ;)

So just this evening, officially the Trophy changed hands from Sir_Dave to myself. Drives awesome for a Clio with 186,601 miles, better than quite a few clios i've driven actually! Plans - Needs an interior so a 172 Cup interior's being sorted. Fit lower arms and track rod arms/ends off the...

Hi everyone. Me and the other half sat in both of these at the Berkshire show yesterday and really liked them, especially the BRZ. We'd like to test drive them both but they're £27,000. Basically either a house deposit or the car! We've been wondering if it's morally right to test drive them...

If a head-to-head test was conducted to assess Cup, Sachs and say H&R Coilover dampers, I wonder if we are able to say what the results would be on the road and track? I like the idea of the Cup dampers because they are so cheap (circa £100/pair) and must be pretty good. I like the Sachs...

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...

i have recently fitted the new singing and dancing KTR induction air filter/ cone which increases BHP apparently... now once fitted it seemed great but on the second drive i have seemed to have lost throttle response when cold and i mean serious loss! to the point where i can sometime almost...

Had the Trophy for a few weeks now, but haven't shown it off yet so I thought I may as well start a thread! I had a 106 Rallye that was one of the best condition S2s around, so getting rid of it was quite emotional! I'd grown really attached to its no-nonsense approach to delivering its drive...

Can somebody please report back on the following: Driving straight ahead at 60+ MPH using small movements of the wheel around the centre is there much "feel/feedback"? I have had lots of work done on curing a wandering/tramlining problem which is now sorted and the handling/steering feel is now...

Hi, I am doing my first track day oct 14th at angelsey (anyone coming?) I plan on changing my brake fluid and wondered what people used and recommend?! Also,would braded lines be a worthy upgrade or are they already braded on the Trophy? I have red stuff pads at present and grooved discs that...

Following on from some other topics and comments regarding Sachs and rebuilds, has anyone changed the Sachs for something else, if so what are the options? I know the Sachs are the selling point of the Trophy, but as there is a lack of new stock and the refurbs do not seem to last I am...

Hey guys, been a member of cliosport.net for and a while and ive asked the same question on there :) So.. Not that im really bored of my car but a potential oppertunity has come up. My uncle, a car dealer had a 'job lot' of cars earlier in the year and a trophy was one of them. Ment to go have...

Just got myself a new red Clio Trophy to go with ma old red Dub :p , so here I am :) Forum looks a good job guys :up:

After a set of track wheels, anything will do as long as they fit the T. Prefer without tyres if poss as already have those. Can collect around the Dorset area or arrange courier if needed. Cheers

Just just a heads up to say that RUK are placing orders with both sachs and speed line. Spoke to my RUK advisor today and she has told me that they have placed an order of 48 speed line wheels to be held in UK stock. I have also asked about the sachs stickers on the shocks once again and she...

Hi, my trophys on 31k and had the front dampers refurbished a few months ago by bg motorsport. The car is on mark fish springs with koni rear dampers. Ever since i got the dampers refurbished the springs creak "as if ur hearing them compress" when braking hard and then when u let off the...

Here I have for sale My Renaultsport Clio 182 Trophy 142/500. Reason for sale is I've purchased another car. I have owned this car since april and it has been totally faultess. I am an avid Renaultsport enthusiast owning a Ph1 172 before the Trophy and I am currently in the process of rebulding...

Just a quick one........ Had 2 182's in the past and like the look of the xenons. Looking to buy a trophy in the next couple of days and wondered if xenons can be fitted. From what I read, to pass the MOT you need the washers too, can this be fitted aftermarket too? If anyone has...

GJ55 ZFY just coming out of Shinfield towards Reading at around 9:40 this morning.

ET 43 or 45??? i hear about the palmersport ones??....whats the best to fit the trophy. hoping to order tomorrow...pe2s are on their way, should be here fri.

just dug out a couple of the old williams es wheels/tyres. tyres are pe2s, and shot tbh. but the ride is sooo much nicer over the bumpy b roads round here. only put the fronts on at the mo just for a trial run. but i think rather than getting new tyres for the original rims, il be getting...

Passed it several times on my way home, was in a silver honda civic with a black front bumper, now got a T as well Thanks Luke

So, with the Trophy now being the only car in our household, thus enjoying the odd long journey, I’m somewhat struggling with the drone from the Orbisoud exhaust at motorway speeds… It was never previously an issue because the car was only used at weekends, but during a recent trip to Oxford...

Or perhaps not. This is a Trophy afterall ... Handling > Lowz:up: On Sachs / Sportlines On H&R's Very pleased so far, ride is lovely, far better than the Sachs in fact, which would imply that they are probably a little softer. Havent really pushed it particularly hard as the camber/toe...

Hi all was wondering if anyone out there has an aftermarket exhaust for sale. My standard one rotted through so thought it would be time for another. Cheers Rich

Interested to know how many low mileage cars are left out there. Saw Asim's on here (25k) in the for sale section, just wondering how many more there are! and what current guise they are in (100% standard, lightly modded, highly modded?) Seem to be a very rare breed, I keep an eye on the for...
