tyres

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 Just been reading a few tyre threads but all seem out of date.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

Back again for sale and this time it's for certain. I need a much larger car and four doors. One owner, low milage car. First registered on 24/12/2005. Number 487. Always garaged and extremely well looked after. Full service history including initial oil change after running in period. The...

It's approaching insurance renewal time so I thought I'd start an honesty thread. If I was being up front about modifications to the T I'd declare: - Filter upgrade (ITG panel) - Suspension upgrade without lowering (Koni rear dampers) - Brake upgrade (Ferodo/Brembo) - Exhaust upgrade...

What a fantastic car!! - sounded mental..... a bit edgy chassis wise mind you; I'm in love :shock:

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?

Anyone recommend a courier to collect 4 4x4 wheels with tyres from Cheshire and bring them down to Hampshire? Anyone use a company before and recommend one? If so how did you package them? Separate items? strap together on a pallet? Strap two together? Suggestions please! :D

Done two trackdays in my ownership (about 500 miles), then another 1 with the previous owner. Wheels, under the dirt, are a polished/chromy type of finish. Tyres are the GG (medium) compound. Bottom two have approx 2-3mm tread, top one (the other one is exactly the same) have about 4-5mm...

Daydreaming at work and thought others might like to join in/help out, especially if you're as bored as me!! Current spec is standard, plus: Wiper stalk mod Brembo/Ferodo discs & pads ITG panel filter One of the rear dampers is on the way out, leaking, so will be replaced with a pair of Koni...

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

Spotted this in the carpark at Martins Renault in Basingstoke earlier!

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.

Looking for four 16" turinis' with renault centre caps, anthracite and preferably in good condition. To fit 182 clio. Not intetested in tyres either. Cheers (also on cliosport.net as Alx)

Hi guys The sad time has come when I'm going to have to sell my Trophy. I don't really want to but I've just bought a Lotus Elise and can't justify owning two cars. My question is, what's it worth? It's an 06 plate, but it's done 102k miles (mostly motorway driving so they've been "kind"...

http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?cro ... 76?sk=info Have a look at this guys facebook page. He is the neighbour of my best mate and owns a 182 in Gordini blue. His name is Ashley. The clio looks stunning now and didn't look that good before he owned it as i nearly bought that car. This is...

My trophy's recently started making a creaking noise which looks to be coming from the drivers side suspension. You can hear it when driving over any slight bumps in the road and especially over speed bump. Also today noticed what must be a slow puncture as the pressure on this tyre was down to...

Left work at usual time yesterday and the Trophy just did not seem 'right' to drive. Have checked dampers and all seem ok - rear replaced within the last 3 months. MOT also passed early part of July with no advisories so imagine they would have spotted any major 'wear'. Car seems very light...

As per title, looking for mint condition Seats for my FF 182. Must be from a non smoker, no rips, burns, bobbles etc. Wheels can either be the original Trophy (prefered) or standard Turini's, or Anthracite 182 wheels. Would consider px for my Speedline 2118 in white and with Toyo Proxy T1R...

Hi, I have owned a Cup packed 182 for over 4 years now, determined to keep it as long as possible. Always kind of wished for the Trophy set up so I have just invested in a full set of Trophy dampers. I was wondering what you guys could recommend to get the set up correct. Lots of advice already...

Hi guys time as come to sell my much loved clio Trophy only reason for sale is iv just brought my first house and could do with the extra money. Clio trophy 309/500 Very clean example Will come with fresh 12 month m.o.t for peace of mind. Very clean condition inside and out with a bit of...

Reluctantly, I'm having to sell my 182 Trophy to cater for two little ones and the baggage train that goes with them! Few basics: Just over 58k miles, the car is off the road so this won't change. 2 Previous Owners Full documented Service History with Receipts MOT til December 31st HPI...

Trophy was handling like a bag of crap, noticed a bouncy damper so had it rebuilt at BG a few weeks ago. Also the exalto's on the front had come to their usable end so replaced them with the Pilot Sport 3's. Anyway, Trophy's feeling a bit weird in some corners, i cant really describe it, its...

Fingers crossed. Not expecting any problems, but you never know.

It may just be me being worried or the road angle or something, but i seem to feel my front n/s bounces more than the o/s on flat full road width speed bumps where i can feel both rebound at the same time more or less, and there is a little knocking noise every now and then, i know the knocking...
