For those of you who don't use cliosport, thought i'd post up my new race car for this season for you to have a look at. Picked it up at the weekend, ex 2006 TCR Onslow-cole Championship winning car. Driven it the grand total of about 20 yards so far, on and off the trailer and into the garage...

Hi all,
Last year I was looking for a Trophy as a trackday-toy, in the end I went for a modified VX220, now though the Clio-itch is back.
I've always been drawn towards the Trophy, rather than the Cup, but is it worth the premium if the car is to be used as a trackday-toy/daily driver? Is a...
Could do with 2 new front tyres and was wondering what people thought of these for general road use?

only £10 more than the PE3's, guessing they offer considerably more grip in the dry being a track focused tyre? But wondering just how...
I recently bought some port matched inlets butbefore fitting I spent hours polishing up the out side before fitting. I complemented this with a polished strut brace that really doesn't offer much in way of performance increase but unlike the way it looks.
Also did my own tacho change by buying...

Hi all,
I'm new to the forum and as yet, haven't even got myself an RS Clio . However, that is hopefully about to change in the next week or so and I'm looking to buy a Trophy. Other than the reading I've done on the net and the usual Clio buyers guides that I've found, I can't seem to locate...

Basically what i was wondering is how many people use their Trophy for what it was primarily designed for?, and im not necessarily talking about track days but also just goin out for a pointless drive or a bit of a blast on your favourite stretch of road. As daft as it sounds i sometimes feel a...

Anyone know any info on this car - 4 previous owners someone one must know something.
Its very local to me - got 70000 miles on the clock - Engine light is on - so i reakon it could be a cheap one... Any info.
Cheers
Due to a change in personal circumstances I cannot make this.
Williams Clio have organised a trackday at Angelsey on the GP Circuit via Circuit Days and my space cost me £170 but I am open to SENSIBLE offers.
Thanks :)
Finally got round to fitting my mark fish springs and koni rear dampers.
I measured the top of the alloy to the arch before and after fitting and after just rolling it out the garage the fronts dropped 15mm and the rear 20mm.

just wondering if there are any knowledgeable 182/ trophy owners in the north east/ durham area? need a second opinion on the odd noise coming from the front end, think it might be ball joint related like :roll:
Nice to meet you Luke 335 at Silverstone last night..
Glad you were treating George Ks old Khumos with respect they deserve ;-)
How was your vibration? Find the problem?
You were going fairly slowly when I eased past you going into Vale.. sorry about that!
This was 200Cs first and trial...
Morning all
As some of you are already aware I have now started a company supplying performance parts for Renault's and many other cars.

Most of the good ones are gone so ideas welcome!
...........briefly spoke to Ben today and my dampers are being returned - he did sound mega busy so didn't have much time to enquire about the problems i've been experiencing recently. He did say that 1 of the dampers had less oil than the other (never seen any leaks :shock: ) which may...
So how long do you plan on keeping it (meaning Trophies but anyone is welcome) all being well?
A car you're going to keep 'forever'?
Keep for a long time?
Planning on changing?
A stop gap?
No idea?
I have to say I've thought about changing my car in the recent past but little can get near...

So i thought i'd finally sign up here, some of you may remember this car:
was the one there was a thread on here advising people not to buy it.
However i did work for A/C at the and decided to take the risk to get it brought into my garage to have a good look at it and decide whether i wanted...
Anyone have them on their Trophies? I'm tempted to get some rear ARB's. Hopefully going to go with the Mark Fish sus set up at the end of the summer also. If anyone has that total combination would be good to hear your thoughts.
Hey 8)
I had my first track day on Monday and loved it! :D :D
I was terrified at first but soon settled in after a couple of laps.
BRAKES:
When I first went out I managed 4 laps and had to pull into the pits as I was experiencing a little brake fade and wanted to check tyre pressures...
