ET 43 or 45??? i hear about the palmersport ones??....whats the best to fit the trophy. hoping to order tomorrow...pe2s are on their way, should be here fri.

just dug out a couple of the old williams es wheels/tyres. tyres are pe2s, and shot tbh. but the ride is sooo much nicer over the bumpy b roads round here. only put the fronts on at the mo just for a trial run. but i think rather than getting new tyres for the original rims, il be getting...

anyone got a spare one ? - new if possible or used / mint. pm me cheers

Sadly I present Trophy 219 for sale. The car has been faultless in the almost 5 years I've had it, never tracked or abused, always run on Optimax and has wanted for nothing during my ownership, the mileage reflects mainly motorway miles and my daily commute. Bodywork and interior are in...

Got this delivered yesterday, tested it and it's scarily accurate! Flaig pressure gauge in a solid metal design with 90 angled connection. Precise and made in Germany. With fine divisions on the display from 0 to 4 bar and 0 to 57 psi. Maximum tolerance plus/minus 1 % of the final scale...

Guys, General thoughts on tyres. I noticed the other day my rear tyres are seriously cracked, I think they look like the orginal PE2. They still have plenty of tread on them, but doubt very much they will pass the MOT in June ? I know there is a sticky on tyre choice on here. Getting hold of...

93000 Looks to have full history Overall good condition. Alcantara door cards And xenons. ?

how much difference to the handling does dropping down to say....15 inch williams rims on 19/50/15s on do??? they are pretty much the same rolling radius just a little less width. i know quite a few people drop down a size in trackday wheel/tyre for cost reasons...but how much diff would they...

Having been looking for another trophy for around a month now and there seems to be quite a few that still havent had the dampers re furbed yet. Just wondering how many on here are still running their cars without problems?

Sadly two other toys, so 234 has to go. 2005 55 reg owned from new all original invoices and file of reciepts. 99,500 miles HPI clear 3 months tax 8 months MOT. Full Renault and Porsche service history. Cambelt and aux belts changed 79k plus aircon gassed. Full service at 94k. New Renaultsport...

I am one of the people that mourn the loss of Pilot Exalto 2s. I know they do them in 195 50 15 V (at half the bloody price of 16s!) so wondered whether it might be an idea to run 15" wheels and have the benefit of cheaper (better?) tyres? Could there be other advantages such as lower weight...

Right the spending continues on the trophy.Car has hankook rs2 tyres on all round. The fronts have 2mm tread and the rears have 5mm tread. Wanting a new set of front tyres.Am eventually wanting michelin ps3s all round but want to get use out of the rears 1st so thinking of getting 2...

Hi all, I don't drive my T throughout the winter and over this period of time I SORN it off the road. My T is still off the road in my garage and has not been started up or moved in over 5 months. I'm worried that leaving the engine off in the same position over this length of time will cause...

1 Michelin 205/45/16 83V Pilotsport 3 tyre with 2.5-3mm tread remaining. 1 Michelin 205/45/16 83W Exalto PE2 with 3mm tread remaining. £20 each posted to your door or £35 posted for the pair. Any questions please ask. Thanks

Well, after getting loud donging noises when maneuvering, and people on here saying the top mounts would cause it, the garage I use also confirmed this. Ktec said to use engine oil to lubricate the top mounts last week, which i did, from within the engine bay, but it made no difference. I was...

So within the next few weeks the Trophy will have reached the point where it needs 4 new tyres, after trawling through a few of the posts on here i can't seem to get anywhere... Has anyone had experience with running other brands of tyre on their Trophy? if so any recommendations? If not and i...

Does anyone have any contacts at Michelin? Preferably in product development, manufacturing or supply chain. Customer services or marketing better avoided. Looking at Michelin's current UK range the Pilot Exalto PE2 (for the Sports and Roadster segment so they say) is still available in...

Renault Clio Renaultsport 182 Trophy No. 71 of 500 48,600miles Bought in Nov 2009, selling because we need a bigger car for a dog (good lady wants one for her bday in March!). Won’t need any further money spending on it until tax at the start of July and then service/MOT in November...

Had a puncture on the motorway, stopped as quick as I'd noticed but not quick enough :( Luckily my car had a spare wheel and tyre in the boot, but as the exalto is no longer available I'm totally stuck with what to buy now. I think the it is going to be the new Michelin but not convinced...

I have had two Trophys both which have done this. When parking and wheels near full lock the steering wheel becomes light and wants to go onto full lock its self as if the wheels are tilted over. Also if the road is wet the T front tires slip very easily when turning. It never bothered me as i...

does anyone run winter wheels on their trophy? thinking about doing it this year to protect the trophy wheels but mostly to ensure i've got tyres more suited to the wet and cold conditions found over winter. 15" seems like the best option for winter tyres, they are all typically a larger...

Need some new fronts on my Trophy, got Toyo's on back. Any deals or reccos out there? Just been reading a few tyre threads but all seem out of date. What is the best Michelin at the moment. Any help would be greatly appreciated

I'm asking this question because I noticed that the jacking points along the sill are quite weak and one folded back slightly. I don't want it to happen again so are there any other points where the car can be jacked up to reduce the risk of bending the "rail" that runs beneath the sills? Thanks.

Always good to see a new photo or two, click on photo to enlarge :-) ........ Front shox (re-furbed and de-pinned) were set on about 25 clicks on all these photos - need to do some more with them much harder.. Loving my new Momo steering wheel btw! (pic in "my Garage")...

Anyone going to swap their tyres next month? I'm tempted for peice of mind although i didnt have too much bother last winter. Do normal clio steelys fit the T btw?

Im looking for a new set of tyres for my spare set of wheels i use for sprinting and a couple of trackdays, ive been looking at Yoko's AD08's anyone use these?? Or any other suggestions but not Toyo's 888's :D

Ok I clearly took that bend a little too tight! P1000416 by julzatthepub, on Flickr It actually gave me no drama whatsoever and luckily was not far from home.

So I was driving home on my lunch break, nothing out of the ordinary, came off a roundabout and went to merge in, when all of a sudden some white van man quite some distance backl decides to floor it and undertake me whilst flashing his lights beeping and gesturing quite angrily towards me! So...
