track

Daydreaming at work and thought others might like to join in/help out, especially if you're as bored as me!! Current spec is standard, plus: Wiper stalk mod Brembo/Ferodo discs & pads ITG panel filter One of the rear dampers is on the way out, leaking, so will be replaced with a pair of Koni...

Im looking for a new set of tyres for my spare set of wheels i use for sprinting and a couple of trackdays, ive been looking at Yoko's AD08's anyone use these?? Or any other suggestions but not Toyo's 888's :D

right, my beef is basically, why are these cars just not worth that much money anymore? for a car as amazing as this to drop from £15,00 in 5 years is pretty shocking, i think asking for £4000, £5000, or even £6000 when selling yours is rediculous. these cars are classic and a piece of history...

Apologies for bringing this up again but the recent spate of comments on suspension has prompted me to post. As I see it there are three options for replacing Trophy rear dampers: a) 182 Cup dampers (£65ish) b) Renault/Sachs Trophy-specific dampers (£115ish) c) Koni adjustable dampers...

Hi Guys, My front right shock is abit bouncy so think I might need a refurb soon, so planning on taking both the front sachs off and selling them. The other two are amazing, however my brother got the back left SACHs replaced with a standard shock. So I have 3 of the sachs left. Was planning on...

clio trophy 355, hi guys testing the water to see what interest i get in the trophy. Really don't know where to start the car has had an absolute fortune spent on it in the last 6 months. Me and richard of pyro motorsport( we know these cars inside out) have gave the car a complete overhaul to...

Hey guys, I have tried to get a 197 steering wheel onto the trophy. I'm using Renault Peterborough and they can get it on and modified the cruise control ok but 2 problems. 1) the back of the steering wheel rubs on the coweling. (apparently this can where the steering wheel) 2) steering felt...

Due to change of circumstances with work im now needing a van, i have been to a few garages and been thinking about p/x the clio. as the max theyll give me is about 3500 ive decided to put it on here for 4000 for a quick sale 2nd owner FSH 77k excellent condition, just been serviced and timing...

Hi guys, I have been looking at these on a group buy over on Clio Sport and wondered what everyones thoughts were? I use the Trophy for fast road use and 4-5 track days per year. I was wondering:- - Will they make much of a difference or are the just a bit of a gimmick? - Are these the best...

In two minds whether to do this or not but i just dont use the car at all and my house renovation has to take priority over racing at the moment. Only been out once this year at Oulton for a test/track day and last raced last year. It was previously owned and run by Alex Schooledge of Outpace...

ill start..... my white 3 door after some tw4t nicked a bus at 2am, this was the aftermath: the keen eye will also notice the 16v clio too, taken in part ex for the ERST i had before this. next up: wish i never sold it, and then this: and then: and then a pimp wagon lol: then...

Just a bit of fun in the SW France sun :-) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_R2LlA4p ... ata_player :-)

how the hell do i get more stars?? :D mark :)

Due to a change of circumstances 456 is now up for sale. I need the funds to buy a van for work as im going self employed. anyway the car ... Other than the rear being stripped and fitted with a carbon fibre strut brace and TRS harnesses the car is prity much standard. Everything is in...

Love driving the Trophy, but feel like a bus driver :) Think some lower bucket seats would complete it, what options are there and what experience have people had with them?

Taken at the Donington Trackday You can have the full res ones for a small fee :D

Lol I know this is a longshot My dampers have been away for refurb for over 3 weeks now and I get a different excuse everyday. I am doing a trackday at donnington this Monday 25Th July. I need to borrow some dampers for the day :D Obviously would pay if they were damaged and happy to pay...

Hi, I have owned a Cup packed 182 for over 4 years now, determined to keep it as long as possible. Always kind of wished for the Trophy set up so I have just invested in a full set of Trophy dampers. I was wondering what you guys could recommend to get the set up correct. Lots of advice already...

Seen on the autotrader website with the wrong wheels on... http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/ ... ?logcode=p

I've decided to go for it and I've purchased a GoPro HD for some in-car track video 8) Its primarily for the Nurburgring and as you're all no doubt well aware the buggers don't let you film there :( Has anyone come up with any ingenious in car camera mounts which are discreet or easy to...

hi, just about to buy a 54 plate 182 in silver, 44k, 2 owners, fsh, for 4k, reasonable? it is however very mint. very new to the french badge, im really a blue oval nut but i like the drive of the 182, so any pointers will be very appreciated =) mark

Hi chaps, wonder if anyone can help with my issue. I've been doing quite some work to my T the last month: Front sachs refurb, fitted Ktec solid top mounts, Poly bushes fitted to lower wishbones and anti roll bar, new track rod ends, lower balljoints, koni adjustable rear dampers, mark fish...

It may just be me being worried or the road angle or something, but i seem to feel my front n/s bounces more than the o/s on flat full road width speed bumps where i can feel both rebound at the same time more or less, and there is a little knocking noise every now and then, i know the knocking...

Hi guys Itching to go out and experience my first track day in the Trophy; I race karts nationally and have tested at Palmersport a couple of times (including the Clio Cups) so looking forward to taking my own car out! Would you recommend me purchasing a different set of rims and tyres...

I've managed to get the ball joint from the hub despite the thread spinning with the nut, grr! But now i can't shift the rod from the bar. I'm using a 21mm spanner on the rod and 13mm spanner on the bar...i could do with more leverage and will try and think of something. I'm spraying wd40 but in...

Currently umming & ahhing about buying an e46 M3 in the next 6 months, so may sell the Trophy at some point ... i have absolutely no idea whats its worth though due to the laughable mileage. FYI, i know whats its worth in bits, but not as a whole, so im just thinking in case someone wanted one...

I know every track setup is different, but I thought it would be interesting to hear what readings people have got from noise tests at the track. My silenced Orbisoud with it's sports cat was 92db @ Bedford with 4/4.5k revs I think.

I have loved my Trophy for many years but now it is time to sell. Number 370/500. I had a clio expert take a look today and they said it was great to see a totally standard vehicle, an honest car. Serviced annually, recently cared for my M&N motors (renault specialists) full service in...

I'm looking for a good wheel alignment place near Sheffield, I wouldn't mind driving as far as Leeds / Nottingham and anywhere in between. I need them to fit the camber bolts as well since the last place I went to didn't have a clue. Hunter equipment would be best so I'm told. Many thanks Rick

Righto, my front sachs started leaking so i've removed them from the car, sent them off to BG to be stripped, they've sent them back to me to be blasted and coated then i'm sending them back for refitting. While that's being done i'm working on the rest of the susp. Removed the arch liners and...
