track

Hi all, I've recently had the front and rear dampers replaced/rebuilt as well as the top mounts. Its going back in the shop tomorrow to have the ball joints replaced as well ready for a full geo alignment on saturday. The guy at the geo place mentioned the track rod ends can sometimes be a...

Just had the front dampers back from BG motorsports, and replaced the rear dampers and top mounts at the same time. Imagine my surprise to hear creaking still coming from the front suspension somewhere [-X I've done some digging around on here and people suggest replacing the ball joints at...

As per title? I honestly can't see myself selling the little bugger. Took it for a blast on some newly discovered B roads recently and was still absolutley gobsmacked at how bloody good it is. :D I bought a Boxster S six months ago and even though it's a brilliant car, unless you're a...

Swapped my rears to the front as treads heading towards 3mm. That way I can replace them ASAP and put the new ones back on the back for winter. Wondering if this was wise as car feels very odd! Had balancing done on them but since then car still seems to wander more. Wondering if the tyres...

Hi to who ever that was in the Trophy behind me who beeped. I had spent Sunday-Monday at Silverstone and not even seen another Clio Sport let alone a T then all of a sudden i see you in my rear view mirror and another 182 inferno as im coming off the slip road just as im about to head back home...

Hi Guys I'll update this thread in due course, but just a quick link to our Mini Cooper - gutted to be selling it, but at least the T's staying for now :wink: It's up for £6250; - 41k miles - Full Mini SH - Recently serviced - New pads all round - MOT until April 2012 - Tax until Oct 2011...

After trying to buy one for years!! I finally managed to get my grubby mitts on an MSV cage, so I trundled off to Oxford services on Saturday morning, & came back with a shiny new toy. Reason for getting a bolt-in as opposed weld? Well, I wasn’t happy about having buckets, harnesses and no...

as above, its tempting.

Hi guys, just wondering if anyones going to PPC this year? I'll be there, well not in the T but in the S1 Rallye!

Essentially, on Saturday, somebody parked their rather clean looking Trophy in our car park next to mine, the gf noticed & said, 'that red clio's really nice'. After then explaining to her that it was a Trophy, just like mine, & that under all the dirt, they were both exactly the same colour ...

its been nearly a year since i parted with my trophy and got a clio 200. now im having nightmares and i need a trophy again. maybe end of the year i will start looking but going to go find a completley standard one and this time its for keeps. :D

Over the last 3/4 weeks I've been having a handling problem with the Trophy. Everything felt fine until I entered a left hand bend and I would turn the wheel but instead of turning in sharply the car would take a very wide path no matter how much I turned the wheel. I checked the tyre pressures...

As I was moving cars about & an opportunity to take a quick pic presented itself. The Trophy next to my Lancia integrale EVO & our recently purchased EP3 Civic Type-R Premier Edition.

My first post & a sad one. I've had my Trophy (#61) for a v enjoyable year & took it for its first track day with me the Saturday before last at Lydden Hill, having just had the expensive full cam/aux belt done. Unfortunately it seems to have blown a valve & my local Renault dealer that I...

Seeing as I had a nice 11 day weekend, thought I'd tidy up the rear of my Trophy. Heres a quick writeup of what I got up to today The Number plates had been bugging me for ages (well 4years almost lol) with the large garage logo and border, seeing as they had started to fade aswell decide to...

Yesterday myself and nixiej went for a blast out, I drove to Scarborough, then we headed out to Robin Hoods Bay for an IceCream. My Favourite two T77 is Nicks, and is on the MarkFish setup, YR55 is mine, and is completely standard. And don't worry Trophy purists, his...

wanting to put a sub into my 182 but cant seem to find a way for the power cable to get from the battery to the inside of the car..anybody got any ideas? and help much appreciated!

nearly hit 30k, so now been sent to garage for aux and cam belts, plugs, water pu pump, rear discs (bearing gone), general service, bit of opies Titan and exhaust fix. I might start driving it soon! (been real busy and the T has been sitting on driveway for a while)

Firstly, thanks to James & Tom at JMS, despite having to be on the Eurotunnel at 6am this morning, James was bleeding my brakes at midnight last night - mostly thanks to another of our friends bringing in a last minute brake related emergency/c0ck up i might add ... IR tired. So, the work done...

Hi folks, I know there have been several threads on this topic and I have also looked on cliosport. I had been thinking I would get new ball joints without the wishbone and fit them to my trophy and at the same time fit uprated poly bushes to the wishbone. After reading on cliosport the...

Has anyone managed to lower their drivers seat. It ok on the road but far too high on track, hmmmmm buckets time?

Hi, Need 4 track tyres for my 182, used. 888's or a048's-195/50/16. Anyone get any sitting around in their garage needing a home? Thanks, Rave. :D

Hi everyone , Wondered what your thoughts about engine oils ? I'm going to change the engine oil my self. What do you think is the best oil to use? Your response will be greatly appreciated Joe

Tonight I was looking at my Trophy and something wasn't right with the stance, jacked it up to find the driver side front spring broken. Somehow it had managed to break and go under the upper half??? So the car sits higher on that side now :? Before I phone Renault tomorrow I was considering...

Bit of help needed deciding on what tyres to buy. They'll be for track use only, pretty much exclusively Anglesey and Oulton Park, and shod on R15 5.5" steelies - don't know if that would need any consideration with sidewall stiffness? Car won't be caged and will be driven to and from the...

Hi Guys, I know some of this has been covered in other topics but I'm trying to bring it all together and get peoples views. As my dampers are going away soon to be rebuilt and depinned, I was wondering about the rest of the suspension setup. What kind of things have you guys done to sharpen up...

Further to a recent thread on CS, where this was created: I collected these last night, to be sprayed pink this week ... They'll be used as spare track wheels with PE2's, then R888's when they're knackered :lol: Hell, i might even go back in time to 1997 and roll on them as dailies ...

Just wondered is the same rubbish that was on ebay a while back? I don't think it's worth 5,500, in my opinion, what does anyone else think? Probably worth that much to someone who has never heard of a trophy. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/2005-RENAULT-CLIO ... 519wt_1139
