weight

A while ago, an empty stretch of road presented itself to me, so I thought I'd see how fast the Trophy would go. Now, it wasn't the longest stretch of road ever so I couldn't keep my foot planted forever, but it was long enough. It's not very quick over 100mph, but as it clicked past 125mph it...

Still looking thinking of getting a trophy but after having a look around the 197's are only a little more expensive, and newer model therfore less depreciation more warranty and newer model e.t.c. Anyone have any experience witht eh 197 and how it rates to the trophy? Although i suppose the...

Ok, so how many people here have had/driven both the trophy and 172's and 182's? to those of you that have I was just wondering how much better you would say the handaling is on the trophys then other clio sports. Also how hard is the suspension as i have had a few ppl say that it is very...

This is just a small selection of some of the cheaper tat that was rolling around that day, I tend not to photograph the really expensive stuff. For those who didn't make it, maybe next time? It was good to see Rich again and Steve Coulter (allvehicles) who made the sensible choice of going in...

anyone seen any of those "renault F1 champions" stickers as seen on the megane's side window and 197 R27 rear window anywhere? with them being red i thought it might look ok on the trophy... stealers?

Seeing as I ordered my Milltek today, what are peoples' opinions on fitting new exhaust mounts at the same time? The car has only done 6k miles, but I'm worried it may sag and not sit straight. I'm just curious how others have got on with their replacement exhausts (regardless of make). Thanks...

I have just purchased a new set of rear seats for my Trophy and now im looking to sell my original ones. If anybody needs to replace theres or knows anyone who would want them please send me a PM. Any ideas as to what i would get for them should i sell them? Many Thanks Marc

Have tried searching but not found anything. Has anyone gone to a DC5 from a Trophy? Or vice versa from a DC5 to a Trophy? Am thinking about what i'm going to get next(soon)and i love the DC5 Integra and i want a WHITE car!!!! Have even been thinking about getting the Trophy "Wrapped" in...

Well... which car? :) I find myself looking longingly at the Liquid Yellow (without scum stickers) Megane R26 that blasts the opposite direction to myself every afternoon on the way home from work. I just think it's a gorgeous car, and I think I may have to own one. Being less realistic...

Having being trying to sell my Trophy for a couple of weeks now I have not had a single call. I can only put it down to these reasons: 1) It is overpriced. (seems about the right price compared to others) 2) There are too many others currently for sale (only found about 3 others nationally)...

Right well i havnt even bought a clio trophy but judging from the reviews on the morego 202, i plan to do this mod to my Trophy. Opinions please as i know it is a limited edition model. Would it affect resale in a bad way? Also does it need mroe power? Thanks Greg

I was very excited to read about the new Japanese Civic type R. Apart from a boring 4 door saloon body, the prospect of 225 PS, 8,400 rev limit, reasonable torque, Brembo 4 pot callipers, 18" lightweight rims, gear type LSD, proper independent rear suspension etc was very tempting. Still not a...

I have the following detailing items for sale (all brand new); Tropi-Care TC-M2 Microfibre Wash Mitt For those who want the best cleaning performance on the exterior of their vehicles, Tropi-care's plush microfiber wash mitts are the way to go. These high quality wash mitts offer...

I know it was fifth gear but i have to get my fix somehow. Anyway just a sublime looking car but they quoted some bizarre performance figures (very slow) anyone else think it was odd/know any different.

I say Alpina Roadster 3.4 Lux, you say.....??? :) Just wondering people's thoughts of a Z4 Alpina. I have recently come to research a bit about them and they seem like a fantastic car. However I am aware some people wouldn't be seen dead in one... is that the case here too? Two...

Found this on my hard drive, never eally looked at it before but it's got some interesting figures, namely; 1075kg kerb weight. I always thought it was 1090kg. 182 hp DIN. As I've always said, not 182 PS as Evo (and everyone else) claim. Making it 173bhp/ton. That's better than the 172...

Is anyone able to give an accurate weight for the Orbisoud system? Race version, manifold back with sports cat. I cant find the information anywhere. Also would be keen to know what the standard system weighs to compare the two. Thanks

Got the car on Saturday - filled her on empty to full on Optimax (£44!!) Ive done nearly 200 miles and its nearly on empty :'( £44 in my old golf diesel woulda got me just over 400 miles!!!

Just a thought but i was wondering if it was possible to replace the manual set up in the Trophy with the digital climate control from the full fat 182? I'm thinking its not going to be as simple as swapping the panels and hooking up the wiring - but you never know. I have no knowledge of...

http://www.renaultsport.co.uk/community ... hichpage=3 I'm drowning in stupidity over there. Someone talk some sense into those people who think the Trophy would corner better if it didn't cock a rear wheel under hard braking and cornering. Include some pictures of FWD race cars doing the...

Please put the standard bonnet back on!!!!!!!! :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

Hello, just wondering, as I have no experience of the clio sport range on how easy it is to tune the trophy or a basic 182 to 200hp? I am a believer in keeping rare, unique cars as standard as possible so subtle mods would be preffered! What have other members done? Cheers this is my...

I have had rapid Clio's since passing my test, :D but since getting married and having 2 children i had to try and purchase cars which fitted the "Family Man" criteria. :evil: But since Renault released the Megane 225 i saw this as my chance to get back in the groove. :D I currently own a Ph2...

Hello all, I'm David and I'm thinking of getting a Clio Trophy. :) I currently drive an Audi TT Quattro Sport (that I've only owned for six weeks!) and before that I had a Ford Focus RS. I keep reading about how great the Trophy is and it's gradually drawing me in. I suspect I could have a...

I've had tommy for 8 months & just getting used to it, done almost 5k in that time. Yet i see owners who have recently bought, selling up. Is it a i've had 'one' kinda thing & move on to the next 'best thing'????

Hi all, Its a long shot but I thought I would post anyway. we are looking for a trackday project and have settled on a Clio Trophy, we have an UK S2000 which we have for sale on Pistonheads, It has 36,000 miles and is in outstanding condition. We do have someone interested so it may be...

I currently run a Saab 9-3 and normally lurk on Scoobynet, have had a few sportier cars such as a Volvo T5, Fiat Coupe Turbo, Golf GTI's, Rover BRM etc. My Saab is nearing 100,000 and hasn't got aircon so I fancy a change, I have been eyeing up the 172 and 182 for years now, especially when...
