Morning, I know there are a few posts on this already but then the trend is always changing too.
Just wondering who youa re getting the best deals from at the moment? Im currently with e-sure and their re-newal isn't looking so good so thought i'd ask around.
Thanks in advance.

Spent some time yesterday and then today cleaning the little Trophy then went to the village I grew up to take a few photos on my way home. Thought it would make a change sharing some non-trackday photos with you :lol:
Photos taken on my Sony Ericsson mobile Thanks / Diolch
I've resently aquired a clio trophy No. 131 the last coupe of times i have been out as I reverse off of the drive there is a slight clonking noise a bit like a drive shaft also when cornering on bumpy roundabouts the front seems to rattle. I have spoke with K-Tec about there bolt in top mounts...
Another trackday today here in sunny SW France - first outing with the 15" rims and 888's. They were superb, a good 2 to 3 seconds a lap quicker than the Exaltos on Turinis - however some of that might have been me getting more used to the T.
Tinker might be better placed to comment as he had...
Hi all,
I've decided to buy a set of alloys for trackday use and not sure what is best.
I'd like to keep the car as "normal" as possible and have a spare set of PE2's in my garage (with approx 3-4mm) which I thought would do me well on a track day. Also my local garage has said that I can...
OK - It's easy so I won't even post the question - maximise the photo to have a good look then complete the answer:
The wheels in the photo are ****** ** *** **** ****.
Just to assist - I got my track wheels/Tyres Speedline corse 2118's 15 inch rims with Toyo R888 GG (195/50/15).
Tried...
Bottom of the page (3) a little vid from yesterdays trackday (my first in the T) taken from a Clio 197 (or 200 - I'm not sure)
a bit damp but not too slippy. I slowed at the end to cool the brakes before coming in - not a breakdown! 8)

Hi, just when you think they are rare 2 turn up! Common as muck in these parts :D Extra points if you can guess where these were taken (none for the owners :lol: )
I wonder if it's unavoidable?? - I seem to always get it at full bore acceleration, 2nd and 3rd gear, after 5 or 6k; I've got new PE2's and the geometry is all standard (today) - admittedly the roads are a bit cold but dry....
I'm doing the top mounts and camber bolts this weekend after which...
What is the latest thinking on this for the T?
I'm currently looking for a set of wheels and tyres to use on the track (not for the road at all), my starter for 10 is:
16" rims and R888's but is that the best option?? Also, related to the track, what tyre pressures do people think work best...
This old nugget again.
What have been peoples quotes been like this year? Just got mine through and am pretty disappointed that it's gone up so much considering 9 years no claims, I'm an old fart, low miles, off street parking under cover in a safe area. Gone up about £50 to £388 with Greenlight.
Hi all havent posted for years but allways havbe a browse on the forums, anyway T450 has hit 26k and in need of a service...couple of questions.
1)- Do i get the aux and cam belts done as its nearly 5yrs old (and if so is it cheaper to buy these parts myself)?
2)- I 've upgraded to brembo HC and...
Hi fellas
After selling my Trophy I bought a 172 cup to build into a sprint and hillclimb car.
I may have posted this elsewhere but cant remember (must be my age!)
Heres the link to my blog.
Any questions post it here!

Hello :D .
Are there any specific requirements for track day helmets? I have a decent motorbike helmet but not sure that it will be allowed?
Thank you.
Ben.
I have always fancied doing this but I think I've watched too many of these.......

Absolutly mental, George has my upmost respect :)
I put new discs and pads on the front of my T today, and whilst doing the job I was just thinking whether it would be possible to fit a set of clio 197 brembo 4 pots on it rather than what the cars got. I know that the 197 and new 200 both use 4 pot brembo's and 17" wheels, but does anyone know...
I have placed an order for these on Tuesday and I still have not received them. I was going to phone up on monday. I have realised that they are based in the lakes and so are probably flooded. Anyone got any further info on their situation. Does anywhere else sell them? I have 2 fronts on the...
Just wondered who could point me in the right direction for the best insurance deals on a Trophy at the moment.
35-year old, no track use, 12 years no claims so should get a half decent deal.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Specialist insurance brokers?
:D
Hi,
I'm the new owner of Trophy No.243 T9PHY which I collected today after some fraught negotaiting with Renault dealer who had it. I know it was owned by a member on here who I contacted before buying it, and I thank him for his information.
It's my new daily runner to replace my late spec...
I have seen the one they are doing on CS and instigated my own on Williamsclio but I was thinking/wondering if any of you fancy getting a CT Calandar on the go.
Can upload pictures onto many websites with our own design for each month.
All we need is 12 pictures.
Expect to pay around £10 I'd...
Hi folks, just put some carbon loraine pads on with new discs a few days ago, they are well bed in by now. Ive heard that they are noisy but you cant live with the sound of them. is there anyway you can quiet them down apart from only using them on track days????
I'm thinking of getting something RWD to replace my Trophy perhaps an Elise or VX220 but can anyone make any other suggestions or have they had any experience with either car?
Thanks.
:)
