I've stretched another couple of months use out of my tyres since I first started considering replacement but I need to get them done now. It's come down to a choice between the standard Michelins or Yoko's at about a tenner a wheel less...
Has anyone put Parada's on their Trophy and what did...
Now don't shoot me, but I'm a Civic Type R driver, had one for 4 years and looking for a change.
Been considering a cup for a while, and now that Trophies are starting to 'possibly' fall into my price range, I thought I'd do some research!
Now there's no doubting the looks, performance...
Got a puncture repair in one of my tyres, and I am not sure whether or not to trust the repair on track? The tyre place that fitted said that they are rated to 220mph and it should therefore be fine on track, but I'm worried that the increased heat and pressure and the increased movement in the...
As per the subject, anyone got one for sale? Must be original Trophy size 205/45/16, any mileage and wear considered as I only need it for a trackday - cash waiting and I will collect.
Cheers! :D
I just realised the website was one year old on the 7th July. No prizes for guessing why there wasn't a big celebration that day. Nik, you're obviously not from London to launch a website on that day.
Who's got the oldest Trophy on here? And who has done the most miles?

Taking over from Pete G's post in the number plate thread, how does everyone use their ESP? (no responses about extra sensory perception please! :wink: )

I think it will interesting to see how many owners have taken their Trophy's on track, or are planning to, this may be organised track days, airfields, private tracks, drag strips, race events or the Nurburgring. I'm going to be taking mine soon, so at the moment it's a track virgin...
Edit -...
Got these from Nik. Perfect for you Trophy trackday fans!
Set of 4 x 15inch 2004 Clio Dynamique 'Alium' wheels fitted with scrubbed Michelin racing slicks.
The wheels are in as new condition, and were individually boxed parts so have never been driven on a car. No center caps are included...
Just how fast can you corner with these things? I think i'm having to re-learn my entry speeds into corners. I entered a roundabout today with no drop in my approach speed and flung it out the same road I came in with nothing more than a bit of squeaking from the tyres. It really is quite...
Hi all,
I seem to be increasing the number of miles that I am now doing and am cosidering a mile cruncher (read: 320d) as my daily driver. I feel I am not doing the Trophy any justice :(
Just as a guide my car gets equal if not better treatment than my girlfriend including:
- Washer...
So Oliie's post about trackday rims and tyres got me thinking that I should probably do the same thing and get a set of trackday tyres to stop me killing a set of road tyres every other trackday. The tyres that I have read the most about on this forum are the Kumho V70A's, and I just want to see...
This a bit a long post, apologies but hopefully of interest to more than just me :)
So I read all of http://cliotrophy.co.uk/forum/viewtopic ... 74&start=0
very interesting, noting the follwing
I am considering going for the 12mm bolts (-2 deg, 0.00 toe-out) but am now thinking about...

hi need some help i want to lower my trophy but dont no wat to go for i only want springs but i dont want to ruin the handling of the car. any help will be apreciated
Woo Hoo, 10,400 miles of fun fun fun driving. Only a few small problems, (being hit up the arse and the dodgy sensor). But all in all i love the Trophy. Will be staying for a long while.
Should reach 12,000 by next week. Nice trip to France on Thursday. lol
At the moment I'm running standard discs and pads with up-rated fluid and hoses.
I'm looking to upgrade the front pads for my trip to Abbeville in France with easytrack next month and have pretty much decided on the Ferodo DS2500.
Is it also worth changing the discs at the same time for...
My car has just hit the 10k mark with no major problems at all (Touch Wood :? )
I cant belive that in 6months I have done so many miles. Good thing is later this year i am moving in with my Partner, which is only 10min walk from work, so during the week the car will be parked up and i will...
Spent this morning installing my new Pioneer PEH-P55BT bluetooth head unit and CD-iB100 iPOD adaptor. This is a brand new unit from Pioneer, so new its not even listed on the UK Pioneer website yet! You can find the full spec on the European website here.
I went for this as you can connect...
Seeing as a few of us are planning trips to the 'Ring over the next few months, I thought I should post a link to this website that has some amazing on board footage of laps at the 'Ring - http://www.joerundseim.com/default.htm

For those of you that have tracked your trophy's what did you have to replace after the trackday. Obviously i'm thinking tyres, brake pads etc but did you actually have to replace them? or were they still ok?
I thought it might be an idea to see what little gadgets etc people have added to their Trophy's. The kinda things that are slightly less expensive than new exhaust systems ( :wink: ) but are nonetheless fun and could be useful to some people!
I've added a Dension Ice Kit to mine so now I...
When she went off to be rebuilt / stored last year, i didn't do the bonnet properly, and this happened.
She has had a new engine; complete re-fresh from the bearings up and load of other new toys that we will be showing off over the year.

How many people pay for it?
If not why not? Does your normal policy cover you? Are you so rich it doesn't matter?
I'm interested because I would never consider going out on the track with cover, but some people seem to be very blase. From various people I've heard it suggested that all you...
