An interesting tyre review in this month's EVO (as well as a 20th birthday special on the Clio sports, with the Williams preferred).
The tyre review caught my eye because it featured (an evolution of) a tyre which a few years ago highlighted to me the importance of tyres and the effect they can...
Has any one had to replace the thumb grips on the steering wheel in the trophy? if so can you suggest and point me in the right direction to where I can buy the them from? I have spotted a link to a site on here before but can't seem to find it now. Also does anyone know the recommended tyre...
Hi everyone, as stated I've had an intermittent problem since i've owned the car. Got it checked out once before but nothing was found so I kinda just ignored it but when going along the M27 this morning it seemed to go mad.
A dull drone started up from the nearside front and got louder and...

Hi Guys does anyone know where the cheapest place is to get Michelin's for my Trophy? I've seen some really daft prices online and was quoted a ridiculous number by a local tyre shop.
Got a couple of issues regarding the handling on my Trophy, i need to have a poke about on the ramp just haven't had a chance yet. Basically the steering feels a little sticky just either side of straight ahead, also seems to have very little self centering action, as in if you're on full lock...
Sadly, due to personal circumstance No 435 is now for sale.
It has done 38 200 miles and is in lovely condition, with 5 months MOT and 6 months road tax.
Good bits:
full service history, with auxiliary belt done at 32 000
front dampers refurbed and professionally unpinned 2000 miles ago...
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...
I've had a search on the forum but managed to miss this if it's already been posted.
Does anyone have the 4-wheel geometry settings for the Trophy as it rolls out of the factory at Dieppe?
I have a wheel for sale over on ClioSport.net...
Purchased to use as a Spare wheel in my cup, but I never got round to buying a tyre to put on it...
Its just taking up space in my room now so thought may as well pass it on to someone who can make use of it.
It is in very good condition...
Hi guys,
I thought I'll put a little update on what I brought after selling trophy 383 to 'jh106'.
I searched high and low for a decent one and eventually one turned up and there were only 4 of these in the country at the moment... so I couldnt miss out!
Its a 2004 JDM Honda Civic Type R...

I've just put these on eBay so figured it wouldn't do any harm to post them here too. Not much use for a T as they're four-stud wheels, but I guess there's probably someone here somewhere who might have a use for them.

Hi Everyone.
i have asked before for these but im still in need. Does anyone have a spare trophy wheel which they would like to sell. Im willing to travel if Relatively near. Not realy bothered about tyre condition.
Thank Guys
well i have been a throphy owner for 2 days now and today its been dry enough to test the car on a few twisty sections i know like the back of my hand, i have found the trophy to feel a bit odd to be honest, on turn in it feels as tho the backend sways out but at the same time it stays planted...
hey peeps... was washin the motor the other day and noticed the gap between the tyre and arch are different

The Ski season's just about over now here (maybe one or two more chances but it's getting warm now) - I read in the owners manual that one cannot fit Snow Chains to the Trophy (or the 182 either I think), this is a bummer if I want to use the T to go...
Doing a track day in June, want to get a used set of alloys to use...looking on ebay standard 172 alloys sell for reasonable money, i'm guessing they will fit just fine on a T but could anyone confirm...it's the offset i'm thinking of. Are there any other standard renault alloys i can use on the...
Whats my trophy worth its in immaculate condition but has 71k on the clock
The dampers not been done but been looked at by two independant companys round here who set up rally race cars and both say there fine.....(for now)

I know the going rate for a good one not needing any work is about £7500 and I have the cash.
Please only contact me if you are selling a standard trophy with a maximum of 2 owners so that I can personally verify every detail of the car, from the original purchase invoice and PDi through to the...

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....

Well with my front pair of mich ex's on the way out I fancy getting some Toyo R888's. Is anyone running these on the standard speedlines, if so how much and what size?
I have a problem with it.
When I go round a corner it feels quite light and tends to understeer and feel light at the front end. Furthermore if I push even slightly more the back end comes round. At first I thought I had it wrong but as daft as it sounds I went out to see if I did and provoke...
