....and I get a speeding ticket!!!!!
I've had 7 years of breaking the speed limit and almost as soon as I jump into a bright red hot hatch I get clobbered!
I can't really complain though, 3 points and £60 is getting off lightly as the policeman was lenient!!!
I quite fancy a replacement Cat Back system, I think the trophy could have a far nicer bark to it then the standard exhaust, it sounds way too 'mechanical' at the moment.
I've been looking around and it seems a lot of people recommend ProSpeed. I saw GaryG's 182 at the Bedford trackday and it...
Just had a check of my trip computer too see what mpg i've been getting (I wouldn't normally bother checking, as long as its not single figures I don't really mind but if the facility is there then why not use it!)
Was a bit surprised to see I was getting 28mpg. I know its a big engine for...
i've just got off the phone to Andrew at yozzasport, he was very helpful. I've decided to get new lines, fluid and pads, the only problem being whether to go for the PF97s or the DS2500s. Bascially, as those of you who were at bedford will have seen, i'm not very good at keeping my car clean, so...
In Australia it was common practice to cover/remove registration plates during a track session so as to not allow dealers to know the car was on a track and void warranty.
Do any of you guys know what the stand is on warranty being void as a result of a track day (and proof of, e.g. by online...
I have just ordered a nice red Samco elbow joint to get rid of the horrible black one which conncets to the Airbox.
Was lookingto get the rest of the hose sorted but tbh it looks like to much effort and once fitted half of the hoses are hidden.
I am also getting the ECU remaped at the end...
Another offer for you guys,
Andy at GDI has contacted me offering ClioTrophy members 182 decat pipes for a price of £80 inc vat and postage.

In preparation for trackday season, I took my Trophy to get the tracking done today, which is all good, but their 4 wheel laser alignment system showed that I have -1.01 degrees of camber on the left front, and -0.24 on the right :?
I was told that this was not a great amount to be out, but...
I would like to buy a couple of harnesses in preperation for the Trackday on the 4th...
Being new to this, I was going to go fo rthis Sparco FIA approved set: http://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/products/ ... =S/H4704VB
Sorry to ask silly questions but...
1) Is Sparco a good brand or is there...
Just wondering how many of us here now have a similar plate? We're like sheep, only our wool is capsicum red...
I'll be the first red sheep to confess...

I've got a ten minute video I took on a digital camera whilst on a trackday last year. In it's original state the video is 133mb. How can I compress this video so that I could post it on this forum or on a video hosting website which normally have a file size limit of 25-50mb?
Cheers :D

Well as you may of relised I havent been around for a fair bit of time, mainly due to personal circumstances.
Well i am back now, unfortuanlty it looks as if my time with the Trophy may be ending, money issues have meant that i have had to look at ways of cutting cost and the obvious way that...
Had to do a double take as i drove into a pub 30 mins away from where i live on Christmas Eve, only to see a Trophy parked up. My first spot of another one in the flesh.
Was in two mind to see if the pub could do a Tannoy announcement for me!
" Can the owner of the red clio parked in the...
With so many of us likely to buy Michelin Exalto 2 tyres as replacements for the ones already on our Trophy's, I thought it may be useful to start a thread with location/prices for the aid of all of us.

Hello all
I've now done almost 2k miles and the car is really loosennig up. Seems to thrive on being driven hard. averaging 31mpg which is not bad overall.
Couple of issues:
1. Sometimes the rev limiter kicks in at 6400rpm. To stop this i stop and restart the engine. I thought it...
Quick report should anyone be interested

Had a good day at Goodwood today. Great circuit, very fast. If you get the chance to go there definitely worth it. The Clios were suprising a lot of people there :D.
To quote a TVR driver: " Those Clios are quick aren't they. I dont like being overtaken :cry: "
:D
