tyres

Hi guys Itching to go out and experience my first track day in the Trophy; I race karts nationally and have tested at Palmersport a couple of times (including the Clio Cups) so looking forward to taking my own car out! Would you recommend me purchasing a different set of rims and tyres...

Hi guys Just wondered if anyone had experienced this before. If you imagine a multi-storey car park, and the 'spirals' you have to drive up in order to go up levels; I have noticed that I experience quite a loud and profound grinding noise when driving up these. The steering wheel also tends to...

I may need to deliver a pair of tyres within the UK. Just wondering whether anyone had done this and whether they used the Post Office or a courier and what the cost of either might be. In the case of a courier, do they come to collect the item from you or do you need to take it to a depot? Thanks.

Hi guys. Last week I had my wheels refurbished at the Wheel Repair Centre in Preston, they have done a fantastic job i'm really pleased with the results. They were shot blasted and powdercoated in Anthracite, they are not an exact match as the original paint but are very close, maybe a shade...

Hi all, I've recently had the front and rear dampers replaced/rebuilt as well as the top mounts. Its going back in the shop tomorrow to have the ball joints replaced as well ready for a full geo alignment on saturday. The guy at the geo place mentioned the track rod ends can sometimes be a...

172 Cup Turinis (16", ET38) https://picasaweb.google.com/107065425593712894867/Turinis?authkey=Gv1sRgCPPnkcLQ4ZjgNA&feat=directlink# I finally got round to swapping my alloys over so these are for sale. They're not great condition so I've priced them accordingly (I hope). Tyres are legal but...

Swapped my rears to the front as treads heading towards 3mm. That way I can replace them ASAP and put the new ones back on the back for winter. Wondering if this was wise as car feels very odd! Had balancing done on them but since then car still seems to wander more. Wondering if the tyres...

Anyone out there fitted a bike rack to the back of the Trophy, have heard the spoiler can cause a few problems. Any help would be greatly appreciated, need to fit 2 mountain bikes on the car. Roof rack is another option. Good lady suggesting a new car! HELP :roll:

Very reluctant sale. However need a cheap run around to commute to new job and park in the street and not mind getting parking dents etc. The Car.. absolutely no expense spared. Full Service history with Renault and Renault Specialists, only recently serviced by FRED in Birmingham. - 45k Miles...

Over the last 3/4 weeks I've been having a handling problem with the Trophy. Everything felt fine until I entered a left hand bend and I would turn the wheel but instead of turning in sharply the car would take a very wide path no matter how much I turned the wheel. I checked the tyre pressures...

Some beading after the wash & wax last week and then a small change

Just a quick wash and wax

Well even after nearly 6 years of ownership this little pocket rocket still surprises me. I know how quick it is on a B road, but in a straight line i always thought it slightly underpowered to take on the great and good of Germany's finest but boy was I wrong. 100 octane racing fuel on board...

Anthracite Speedline 2118's in ET43, fitted with 195/50/15 Michelin Exalto tyres. Bought at the tail end of last year and haven't as yet covered 1,000 miles. Selling owing to an impending (larger than planned!) house purchase which is seeing me standardise the car and sell off the mods :(...

Hi, Need 4 track tyres for my 182, used. 888's or a048's-195/50/16. Anyone get any sitting around in their garage needing a home? Thanks, Rave. :D

I have recently noticed that the ps3 Michelins have gone from camskill!?! I am just seeing if anyone has any idea why and where else other than camskill are the up at a reasonble price? Does anybody know how much they come to at Costco for two fitted and balanced etc Whilst on the subject of...

I was going to to buy some but sadly money's going else where, there like brand new! With new Pe2 tires, done less than 1k £600 the person wants... I can pass info over if interested

Sadly the time has come to part company with my much loved Renaultsport Clio Trophy. It is build number 226 of the 500 that were released in the UK and has just over 54,000 miles on the clock. This will creep up as the car is in daily use It has a full service history and benefits from a very...

Bit of help needed deciding on what tyres to buy. They'll be for track use only, pretty much exclusively Anglesey and Oulton Park, and shod on R15 5.5" steelies - don't know if that would need any consideration with sidewall stiffness? Car won't be caged and will be driven to and from the...

I have for sale a nice white 16v on a K plate, so actually phase 1.5 but close enough. I have just done the cambelt, clutch, waterpump, thermostat, oil/filter, gearbox oil, pas fluid, sparkplugs, airfilter, coolant inc flush and new header. Mot'd last weekend so has 12 months MOT on it. No...

Further to a recent thread on CS, where this was created: I collected these last night, to be sprayed pink this week ... They'll be used as spare track wheels with PE2's, then R888's when they're knackered :lol: Hell, i might even go back in time to 1997 and roll on them as dailies ...

Does anyone know of a place that actually knows what they are doing re wheel alignment around Birmingham? It's not for the Trophy but my other half's Nissan Micra. I've tried a couple of places but it always pulls left a bit and at each attempt the steering wheel is ever so slightly off-centre...

195/50/15 & all with 7mm of tread. £180 for all four collected. As an aside, the tyres come with some golf fitment TSW Stealth lookalikes for free. These are ET35, 4x100 but the centre bore is smaller than 60.1 so will need machining to fit a clio.

Hey folks my car is up for sale just thought i would put it here to see if there was any interest in it, as it's on a few other forums as well all the contact details are my husbands Grant if you need any info :mrgreen: looking for £3500 ovno for it pictures do not do this car justice, looks...

Been offered some, only 3 months old with PE2 tires wheels have done less than 1k. £600 recon it's worth it? As I'm needing new tire soon and I am needing to drop mine off at wheel repair centre again as the lacquer has small cracks appearing. Plus I have always liked the 2118

13k miles, major service 2 weeks ago, dampers checked and are fine, immaculate condition both inside and out. completely standard no modifications. how much is it worth ??

Im in need of 2 new tyres Firstly - wheres the best place (cheapest) to get michelin pe2's or ps3's from (or other recommendations?) Secondly, does it matter that much if i use say ps3's on the front and pe2's on the back, probably doesnt just i will have my OCD glasses and will be thinking...

Hi, just bought 426, and pretty sure the drivers shock needs refurbing, bit of bounce and very crashy. will get refurbed, but my question is, I need to use the car (looking for number 2 vehicle at the mo) am I ok to use the trophy in the meantime? Or will this further add to the shock damage and...
