Dear All, After getting back from South Wales today, I would like to ask: what is the best technique for carrying speed into and out of a corner in a Trophy? I know all corners are different: different gears required, different braking points, different throttle pressure etc, but is there a...

ive just been on the k tech website and they now have a low presure turbo kit for all 182s, and they will take it to rs tuning in leeds for a custom remap (3 hours worth)it all cost around the 3k mark, on their graph is says its putting out 212 bhp and about 200 ib ft so that would put its power...

I'm playing with a few ideas for the winter rebuild, and one of which maybe the Sachs dampers making way for some coilovers. What kind of price have used dampers been going for? Also these have been refurb'd 1000 miles ago so please bear this in mind :wink: Any thought welcome. Chris

Has anyone got an exploded drawing of the 1.5 dci steering rack circa 2003, as part of my changes to the trophy i'm fitting a manual steering rack, i've just picked one up but it seems to be missing a cover :? if someone's got a drawing it would help identify the part required. Also if...

Morning all ! ok so i got my Trophy Pretty much fresh out the box. taken the Acoustic Value off, getting some fat piping today. and i also getting the brakes done (discs lines fluid etc etc.) ok so, i know that when it comes to Mods if you don't have a set plan, and you just fiddle, thats when...

Hi all I've had a quick search on here but am looking for the definitive answer on this as I killed my Ferodo DS2500's last Friday at Bedford. I'm thinking of Pagid's or Carbon Lorraine's but am unsure as to what there like on the road? My current setup is Brembo Max discs, Goodridge braided...

Hi all I have only had the Trophy a few weeks (1500 miles) but the PE2's on the front are in need of a change. I have tryed quite a few tyres in the past on my Ph1 172 but have never tryed R888's... so I thought I'd get a set and see how they do on a day to day basis through the summer. I have...

Hi there We would like to sponsor this forum and in doing so would like to offer our car insurance scheme to users on here. Our insurers have found that car club members have less claims than non-members so they have devised a special insurance scheme which this year has already saved our new...

Clio 172 & 3 or 4 R26R's at Donington. Sorry had to dash but wifey was getting a kitchen designer out & didn't want any huge shocks :lol:

Having bought a load of Clio 172/182/Trophy Strut Braces recently, i've decided to to offer them too forum members at a discounted rate of £25 a pair, that includes one front and one rear in red plus free postage and packaging :D These are an easy install component and can be fitted in...

After my recent trip to the Ring in my Trophy I felt the car was lacking outright power which is no surprise as I used to track and ring an E39 M5. I bought the car with the intention of using it as a daily hack but a have really grown fond of it especially it's capability on track. I now need...

My Trophy has had new discs and pads fitted at around xmas time (before I bought it) and I took the trophy out yesterday to show a couple of mates. I must have driven about 10 miles on some country roads, fairly spirited but nothing insane with some mild braking. Next thing I know someones...

Here's a video from Yesterday's trackday at Brands Hatch, 2 other Trophy's were there too. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NHjHopythvI Chris

Bedford Trackday video from monday 18th May Includes my excursion on the grass for the 2nd time that day in the same place :oops: Chris http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t6RpOA2bCaI

Hoping for some decision making replies here :wink: After doing bedford on monday, i need to improve the brakes, They're good, but not good enough, they are what was on the car when i bought it. I'm not looking for disc recomendations as such as i have a set of brembo max's sat in the...

WANTED: Clio 197 17" Alloys. For R26 trackday use so can be used or new if sensible price. Please pm with details, condition and price if you have anything. Thanks.

This is a bit of a late one, but been too busy to post. Saw a Trophy heading towards Sainsburys in Sevenoaks (on the road where Davis Renault is sited) several weeks back. I was in 415, and exchanged waves with the drive of the Trophy coming the other way. Any clues as to who I waved at?! First...

Is anyone going?

Thought I might put a few photos up of the first track day of the year, got a few things to do before the next one in June, anyway hope you like.

According to MSV you can't just turn up and watch at Bedford, seems you need to pay £10 to register as a passenger - even if you aren't a passenger. At Brands and Snetterton, you can just turn up and watch. Any thoughts?

It's not what your thinking [-X [-X [-X A Crash Diet......... Seeing as it's only a track car (still drives to the tracks though) i decided that anything that could be removed was removed, i suppose i should have posted a pic, but the garage is full so most of the panels ete are just...

Spa RSUK track day spot: £170 Since I don't have a Reno I can no longer attend the RSUK trackday at Spa on June 1st. I booked my spot way back at the end of January... erm, ya I was a bit keen :oops: and since Reno do not allow you to cancel I now have my spot up for sale. Seems a slightly...

Hi everyone, I'm a 23yr old Belgian guy, I've always adored the Trophy since I first read about it in Evo. Some things kept me from buying though, as a student my budget is quite limited (low GBP came to the rescue), the fact that it'll be RHD (prepared to live with that) but most of all... I'm...

Okay so I'm spending a day at Curborough Sprint Track. Just going for a bit of gentle fun with some guys from work. There shall be some nice cars there, Westfields, Caterhams and a formula 3 hillclimb car! Taking the Trophy obviously :) any one got any advice? I don't intend on going mad, I...

Hi fella's I know this has been covered many times but does anyone have any clear pictures of the thumb wheel preferably with it removed if not any close ups would be good. Also the strut top mount bearings, how much if any play should there be in them as the ones on mine look like they have...

http://www.renaultsport.co.uk/roadcars/clio200/ Is this the new trophy?

Hi all, I know there's been a past discusion on the ball joints etc, but can't seem to find any details. Looking at past posts, it seems that people have just put up with Renault saying you need the complete lower wishbone with the 'BOLTED' on lower ball joint. Anyways, my car has only covered...

Hi All, Well today I decided to check the rear disc pads, which I did, but ended up cleaning the inside wheels, arches and shocks. (sad muppet) :) Decided to do the fronts and noticed the adjustable shocks still had the locking pins in !!!! Well they don't now, couldn't help myself from...

Not a horror story this time. Now that I'm 29 I don't have to worry about the cost of insurance anymore. But my renewal has just came up. I have five years no claims bonus, living in hemel hempstead, 8000 miles per year. I'm currently with Privilege. Their renewal was £523 protected. But I...
