standard

Hi , I need some help, I am just starting the refurb on 131 and actually bought it without a bloody front splitter! Are the reno ones very expensive? Are the skoda ones actually ok? What do you recommend or advise? Marl

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...

Hi all, Newb here. Just got my trophy and looking to swap off the stainless exhaust for something quieter and standard ideally. Based in Edinburgh. Not sure what exhaust is on it. Sits flush and looks the part but not branded i can see. Will investigate further.

Bored today and even although they seemed fine decided to take off the sach dampers to get them refurbed. Going to drop them off to get shot blasted this week then get them painted etc then get them sent to BG motorsport. Will put up more pics as they progress.

Have been saving up for a while and buying parts on the cheap when they became available. Today is the day the car has gone into the garage for a front end 'refresh'. Have opted for Lemforder ball joints (last ones were cheaper alternatives), new genuine front bearings, complete top mount kits...

After all the recent snow, my Trophy was looking desperate for a thorough clean. I decided to give it a machine polish yesterday to get it back upto standard. No befores as it was just too cold....that cold that i half way through i tempted on leaving it. The thread will only allow four...

Hi everyone, I've just bought a Trophy with what I think are eibach proline springs fitted. Had a bit of a search but can't find a definitive answer to how these differ from the standard springs. I am tempted to revert back to the original spec. Does anyone know the difference in specs...

Just thought I would do an update from a myself, a new owner member of a trophy re 131. Picked T up from Wales last Wednesday , first to see did buy! Great price but as always there is a snag, not deliberate by the seller more like the things to do when you get a second hand performance car! On...

Mark Fish springs/rear Koni owners What’s yours like on the road? Is it way to bumpy? Rear wanting to skip out? To firm? I have the setup and its firm but not crashy, but wont to see other peoples views?

Hi ppl I've organised a group buy on the rs192 exhaust systems through Yates and Bloomfield, the price is £299 cat back and £350 inc de-cat inc p&p! There is 4 names down but need 10+ to secure this price! Normally sell for over 350 with postage on the cat back systems. Most of you will know...

So within the next few weeks the Trophy will have reached the point where it needs 4 new tyres, after trawling through a few of the posts on here i can't seem to get anywhere... Has anyone had experience with running other brands of tyre on their Trophy? if so any recommendations? If not and i...

There must be a few ?

i keep the T locked away in the garage and use as when i want.whilst out in my daily run about van, i had a minor bump-no damaged to my van but a light scrape of the other cars bumper and resulting in the bumper popping out which is all going through the ins companies..to which i am gutted and...

Sorry but this has been an on going topic on Cliosport.net If anyone would like to own this lovely trophy. Nows your chance! http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/3555198.htm

Just curious really. Heading towards 3 years of ownership and still trying to keep mine as standard as possible, have a bit of a fetish for replacing parts all genuine Renault! Still running original springs front and back, and have had the front dampers refurbed at BG with new Sachs rear...

With sadness my Trophy is up for sale! She has just been serviced new cam belt etc and only done 8,000 since the suspension was serviced. The mileage is nearly 48,000 but will go up slighty as using the car to go to work! The car is all standard apart from and Alpine head unit with ipod...

Hi folks. My first post on here. Im brand new to clio,s, Im looking at buying a trophy [ in the next few months], and as such i could do with some help in what to look for.? IE a buyers guide. What goes wrong. etc etc Does one exist on this forum.? If so would somebody be kind enough to point...

Hi Please can someone confirm if the Trophy does or doesn't use Can Bus? Muchos gracias

I apologise if these have been asked, I tried to do a search my my internet is really really lagging today. My car has started the dreading ticking from the cat to exhaust joint, only very slight but I know its there so its getting sorted, so I'm going to order the bolts, springs and gasket...

So, some of you may or may not know that i decided to decat my Trophy, and also remove the rear seats and fit harnesses! Sounded amazing but was honestly far far to loud for general use and especially on the motorways! And seeing as it’s a daily car I thought I’d do some soundproofing! So I...

does anyone have any more news on the JMS RS2, i have one fitted, are people still having problems mine's only putting out 180bhp instead off the 190ish promised, spoke to an rs tuner and he said he could have got 180 with a remap which is exactly what he did with his brothers car and it was...

It's approaching insurance renewal time so I thought I'd start an honesty thread. If I was being up front about modifications to the T I'd declare: - Filter upgrade (ITG panel) - Suspension upgrade without lowering (Koni rear dampers) - Brake upgrade (Ferodo/Brembo) - Exhaust upgrade...

Hi all Just had my MOT and she passed thankfully! However, the mechanic advised me that one of the exhaust clamps is past its best and I should contact Renault to get hold of a new one. Does anyone know the part number? Thanks in advance!

We were behind you in the RB182. Not sure what the plate was but the car looked standard, Lookers sticker at the top of the window. Think it was a 55 Plate.

The trophy is in need of new brake very soon. Going to need disc and pads all round. Got standard on the rear and brembo drilled and grooved discs on the front at the mo. Whats the best to put on? Dont what to be spending a fortune but want something thats going to work well.

I have had two Trophys both which have done this. When parking and wheels near full lock the steering wheel becomes light and wants to go onto full lock its self as if the wheels are tilted over. Also if the road is wet the T front tires slip very easily when turning. It never bothered me as i...

The drivers side fog light on my car is cracked. Are these the same as the ones for the MK2 Clio standard modle? There seems a few new ones on eBay for about £20... Are they the same? Thanks guys

I am in need of a new front splitter, (:( don't ask). I was wondering if anyone has one lying around that they might want to sell. I see a few people have changed to the carbon one and so there must be some floating around. Any suggestions on where to get a new one. So far I have looked at the...

Hi everyone, Sorry to say my period of Trophy ownership has come to an end, as someone at the more senior end of the age spectrum I decided to get something more fitting to my pipe and slippers image - Saab 9-3 Aero, full power turbo, full leather interior, full service history etc. etc...

does anyone run winter wheels on their trophy? thinking about doing it this year to protect the trophy wheels but mostly to ensure i've got tyres more suited to the wet and cold conditions found over winter. 15" seems like the best option for winter tyres, they are all typically a larger...
