Hi, I've just had my dampers back from Simon at Cornering Force and don't hesitate to fully recommend his service. They are now 'unpinned' and so I want to try and understand what the adjuster actually does and to what degree. Does anyone have a damper curve for the Sachs at different levels...

As above, I've purchased a set of Koni Yellow adjustable rear dampers and was wondering what is the best setting for road use whilst still maintaining decent handling.

So I've been doing a few more miles in the T recently and this morning after being on the receiving end of some serious road rage AGAIN and tbh not being your stereotypical boyracer hoonhoodlum I'm beginning to wonder if it's the car that attracts a little bit of extra unwanted attention or is...

As above really desperate to get the car back on the road. Need a front spring asap if anyone has one spare they wish to sell to me :D

Today about 4pm going north. :p

Hi guys. I'm contemplating some decent coilovers for my RS Twingo but have a question or two... The Twingo is based on the Mk2 Clio platform, with the rear beam axle having the usual clio style seperate springs and dampers. Front suspension is set to similar angles as the Trophy and shares...

Here's mine after my commute this morning

Hi guys,I know you guys will be biased but why should I pay the extra for a Trophy over a 182FF?I know it's got the sachs but is the cornering ability that much better?Let me know your thoughts and why you went for a Trophy.Cheers.

My T is on Cup dampers and crappy lowering springs and I'm considering what's the best plan. I don't think the price of new Sachs will ever be reflected in the car's value, so what's the general consensus - fit a decent set of coilovers, or leave it on the Cup dampers but swap the crappy...

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!

Renault 5 GT Turbo. Silver original example, G680 MGP. Keep your eyes peeled folks not many on the roads so will stand out like a sore thumb.

My Trophy's boot no longer stays up .... therefore .... Winter :)

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...

Well last week was the dreaded mot date. I refitted the cat and new lambda sensor ready for the emissions test, and threw the good o/s/f damper in the boot so my mate could fit it before the mot. The damper that was on was soft and made a horrible knocking nois over any bumps it was ridden...

Could someone tell me if the 182 cup dampers fit with the standard Trophy springs. I'm looking for definite answers here not , I think so.

I have a square patch at the bottom of my windscreen in the centre which has a different tint to the rest of the screen! Perhaps it's been replaced before I owned it. I would upload a pic but can't seem to do it from my iPad.

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...

Hi Everyone, Im currently looking to buy a trophy and over the past few weeks I've noticed more and more coming up for sale but rarely selling. Then last night 3 came up for sale within the space of 2 hours on Pistonheads. Is this a coincidence or am I missing something here? Is there an...

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...

Hi all, On June 30th / July 1st I'll be taking part in the Three Peaks Challenge, which involves scaling the 3 highest mountains in England, Scotland & Wales, all within 24 hours. The ascent of Ben Nevis will begin at 5pm on Saturday and hopefully by 5pm on Sunday we'll have successfully...

How much should they bounce exactly? Has anyone done a video at all ... Mine seem to move fairly easily - although they were only refurbed 13k ago lol (not by BG)

I re-discovered Evo magazine’s raison d’être last weekend – the thrill of driving. I bought my Trophy (#23/500) in early December. Its one previous owner had serviced it regularly but in most other respects it needed a dose of TLC including: refurbished front dampers; new exhaust; rear...

Having been looking for another trophy for around a month now and there seems to be quite a few that still havent had the dampers re furbed yet. Just wondering how many on here are still running their cars without problems?

Guys, I need your help on where to get a new coil spring for my Trophy as it has collapsed. The MOT was last week and it failed and trying to find a coil spring is like trying to find a DoDo!! Where can I get one? A standard one will be fine just now until I look for coilovers. Any help...

there is a big car and bike meet in a little village called ashby folville in leicstershire it is in the sticks with fantastic driving roads leading into it. wonering if any other trophys are going to join mine? the meet happens once a month on the second tuesday. l40mmy

I met Harry Metcalf at an evo track evening last year and he asked me why I had not thought about a newer car, implying that the new models are better. Any way with this thought in mind I went and test drove a Clio 200 on a cup chassis the other day. My thoughts, new car is bigger, much more...

Does anyone have any contacts at Michelin? Preferably in product development, manufacturing or supply chain. Customer services or marketing better avoided. Looking at Michelin's current UK range the Pilot Exalto PE2 (for the Sports and Roadster segment so they say) is still available in...

Just curious as it'll be 7 years this year since I bought mine, anyone else owned their's from new?

So its been a while since I’ve posted anything, and seeing as me and a mate of mine had enough energy to clean our cars yesterday I thought I’d do a little update with some pictures of the recent additions to #333. Although I won’t bore you with millions of pictures of my Trophy all clean, as...
