tyre

Popped to see a mate today who works in a garage. While I was there I got talking to a customer who was waiting for his car to be MoT tested. He noticed my car and commented on the twin exhausts and said that he neighbour had a Clio with exhausts like that.. he said it had been standing in...

Am soon to be the owner of number 25 - next week! It'll be used as a daily driver and I'm looking forward to doing a few sprints and hillclimbs with it as well. Nothing too serious, it's just nice to give it some proper exercise occaisonally. Previous owner has done a great job in doing (as far...

I want to lower my trophy not conpletly slamed but just a bit lower wats the best springs to buy and where to get them from?

I've just had an epiphany! All this time I've been carrying round the renault jack set when I don't even have a spare tyre! Does the wheel need to be off the ground if I needed to use that tyre weld stuff?

Right guys I'm considering swapping my wheels. My Trophy is a second car and if I'm honest it all ways will be. The plan is to downsize to 15"Alloys, I only ever use the car in the dry so figured I could get away with a set of road legal track tyres, which would also cover the handful of...

Not sure if its a common problem on the Trophy as had numerous 182's before and have never had this problem. However having just recenty bought a Trophy I have found strange happenings when manouvering on or near full lock?? No horrible noises, just the steering wheel has a mind of its own and...

I want the Stig to put a trophy round top gears track !!

I'm thinking of buying a couple of Mich PE3's as the fronts need replacing. Rears have covered at least 15,000 miles but have good tread. Do you, A) Replace the fronts with the new tyres? Or B) Switch the partially worn tyres on the rear to the front, and put the new tyres on the rear. ?

Could do with 2 new front tyres and was wondering what people thought of these for general road use? http://www.camskill.co.uk/products.php? ... s344p59604 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...

Anybody running them and whats the verdict over the Exalto's? I read somewhere the exalto's are being stopped and replaced by something else so was thinking RS2's may do the trick How do they perform in wet/dry conditions, cold/hot days etc. I've heard they're similar to a track day tyre for...

I have 3x Trophy Turini's here 1 with a Pe2 with a few mm of tread and 2 with budget tyre's with plenty or tread all come with centre cap's and have a few mark's on could defo do witha refurb £75 each if i can get 3 buyer's or £200 for all 3. I also have a full Trophy Sachs set up all in...

.............gauging interest in sale of 2 Michelin PE2's (ideal for track days) which are on the tread markers (1.5-2mm). NO puncture repairs, sidewall damage, etc and still on the car at present. Looking to replace them in the very near future so let me know if you are interested. Thinking...

Due to a change in financial circumstances :( I'm taking the rather hard decision to suspend my insurance policy (a huge cost for me being 20) and lay #110 up until maybe spring or early summer next year. That way I'll be saved from renewing my insurance again in June as I can potentially...

Has anyone contemplated using them? If so, what brand and size? Also would they actually provide better grip than the PE2's in winter? I was looking at UK mean maximum temperatures from October to April, and between at least November to March temperatures should be highly suitable for winter...

Brand New Speedline Turini with brand new Renault centre cap for a Clio Trophy. Fitted with a brand new Michelin Pilot Exalto 2 tyre (205/45/16 V rated). Never been on the car but there is a tiny chip under the letter "d" on the "Speedline Corse" transfer. I will pop up a photo £190...

Those with PS3s fitted - what tyre pressures are you using? I normally run 32 front but they seem a bit squidgy if you chuck the front around. I'm guessing a softer sidewall causes this? Gonna try 35 front later and have a tinker.

For sale due to purchase of new wheels. All 4 wheels are mint, with some very minor curb rash on one wheel only (touched up so only noticeable unless you get up really close!). Not sure on what ET they are as its nigh on impossible to tell with these wheels, but they stick out far further that...

Trying to track down the cause, hoping someone else can offer a potential cause. For the last year I would say my T has handled slightly off. The positive feel to the steering has gone and I want to try and get this back. So far I have had the following done on the car: - Lower suspension...

I think its time to sell my R27 Team F1 Clio 197, I've enjoyed my time with it having previously owned a clio Williams, Mk1 172 and Trophy. Its always been garaged and parked in a secure car park at work, For the last 18 monthy its only been used week days for work (3 miles away) and little...

Right I will get straight to the point as I have a list; I have owned my Trophy for now 2 months and when purchased I had timing belts done and an oil and filter change done. This weekend however I was doing a gearbox change and checked the oil now the dipstick read ½ litre low and when I...

I’ve just phoned my local tyre place (Tyres Northampton) who must be pretty reputable as most of the Evo writers use them and they told me Michelin have discontinued PE2s. I confirmed this with Michelin and was told Pilot Sport 3s are the replacement/next best thing. What do i do? Get PS3s...

Was at the 'ring at the weekend, had a fantastic time in the Trophy, definitely the most fun I've had there yet :D Was hugely impressed with the Pagid Blues, they really did give incredible stopping power. Got a clip of the last lap of the day, but wasn't the fastest. My best was a 9:08 with...
