Short story, my clio has bankrupt me and i need to fix it before i sell it in order to sort out my finances. Damn i miss driving it though, this is the first time i've not driven it for more than 2 days since i got it 13k miles ago :( Long story: I loved trophies when they were released but was...

Hi, I’ve not posted anything useful yet, but a big thanks to all of you that do, this is an amazingly useful source of information for keeping 050 ship-shape. Anyway, I’ve finally found something which may be of use to someone else, I recently changed the standard stereo for an Alpine CDE 102...

Hi all I have only had the Trophy a few weeks (1500 miles) but the PE2's on the front are in need of a change. I have tryed quite a few tyres in the past on my Ph1 172 but have never tryed R888's... so I thought I'd get a set and see how they do on a day to day basis through the summer. I have...

who is this? http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/1070841.htm Just oh dear...i think it needs saving, nice asking price too :lol:

After my recent trip to the Ring in my Trophy I felt the car was lacking outright power which is no surprise as I used to track and ring an E39 M5. I bought the car with the intention of using it as a daily hack but a have really grown fond of it especially it's capability on track. I now need...

Hey guys, This weekend im going to Silverstone to watch 'time attack', you can also put your car on track for 15 mins for £35. Ive never done a track day before and dont wana chuck myself and the trophy in the deep end just yet, so thinking this would be a good little teaser for me. Its the...

Hey, Just wondered if its possible to have climate control fitted in the Trophy, say a unit from a 172, easy done or not worth the hassle? Also the rain sensor on the wind shield along with the relevant wiper stalk? Cheers!

For Sale, set of 4 lightweight Mardi Gras wheels originaly from a Clio cup 172 race car. They come complete with a set of half worn Toyo R888 tyres with 3mm of tred left (they have 6mm when new). The wheels have been sprayed black at some point and this has started to flake off slightly in...

Thinking of upgrading from my 172 to a 197 cup or megane 230. wondering if anyone can help me decide. i like the idea of the stripped out 197 but think the 230 is a bit better to live with everyday. i've drove the 230 and it was very quick, but havent had a go of a 197 yet. im also thinking...

Does anyone know - or know of a link to - the differences between the 182 Cup, 182 Cup Pack, and the 182 Trophy? I've got a vague idea but by no means certain. Cheers.

A couple of sundays back Steve was kind enough to take me out for a run in his cup and show me why he decided to change from the trophy.. and then passed over to me for some fun down the the rs clios favourite territory the bumpy back roads/lanes, and now the chassis and the size over the trophy...

hi, Been looking to get another car seeing as I have blown my car up at the minute. Now while I love my type R I can't really risk blowing it up again while doing track days. So had a look at swapping to a hot hatch. Looked at all the cars and decided it has to be the clio 182. Now what I...

If you buy this mag, you'll soon read that Harry's T has had re-furbed front shocks. Seems the front as "corkscrewing". One had lost it's gas the other had a slight oil leak. His cars only done 16000 miles. Am guessing a lot of those were hard miles?!

did everyone else have this? does this mean the valve only fully opens at 5k and as such its removal has spread the torque around the rev range more? or am i talking ballacks?

It's not what your thinking [-X [-X [-X A Crash Diet......... Seeing as it's only a track car (still drives to the tracks though) i decided that anything that could be removed was removed, i suppose i should have posted a pic, but the garage is full so most of the panels ete are just...

Kinetic Energy Recovery System. Anyone think this will be developed into road cars down the line..? It seems cutting edge F1 technology is eventually being put into road cars after a number of years when its no longer new. Could KERS be used in a road car to give a power boost ? Just a thought.

Anyone using a smaller redtop battery or similar in your road car how have you got on with it holding its charge etc If you relocated it where too etc Thanks

Finally got some decent photos of my Swiss Trophy on KW V2 Coilovers...

Makes you realise how right Renault got it with the Speedlines.http://search.autotrader.co.uk/es-uk/ww ... gLetter=05

I have been looking at HID kits coming down in price - I know they are illegal if you don't have self leveling etc....but I just wanted to know if anyone has fitted them - Many thanks

Are these the ones that you guys are talking about: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/RENAULT-CLIO-172- ... otohosting Regards, jsthomson

Is the Trophy windscreen any different than any other model? Mine needs replacing soon and I wondered if fitting a 172 Cup one would make any difference - are they lighter? :D

Hi, I am thinking of buying a trophy but I am unsure what the noise levels of the car are during cruising. Bearing in mind that the car is lighter than the competition I would have thought that the redundant weight was removed by removing the heavy sound insulation? Does anyone have a dB meter...

I recently saw a few people on here saying that, now the weather is warmer, they have adjusted their dampers to a stiffer setting. I was puzzled by this. Well, maybe sceptical is the word. I could see that it would improve the T's handling, but I thought that it would feel harsh and be a...

Anyone know any good companies? my current cover doesn't include Europe and as i'm on under my partners policy its her car thats only covered for europe at a price! i would have to change the vehicle on the policy to get myself covered!!!!! what a ball ache. got quote from AA - £35.75. need...

Possibly not the right section but gonna change the stereo. Of the ones below does anyone have any recommendations, comparisons or reviews. Basically i'd like whichever one is best. Alpine IVA-D106R - http://www.alpine-electronics.co.uk/hom ... dercontent Pioneer AVH-P5100DVD -...

Just been reading on this http://www.pistonheads.com/news/default ... ryId=19541 about the possible production of the RS3, would imagine it would be a awsome car. My issue i saw a awsome looking Audi A3 shape in my local Sainsburys about 1 week ago, from a distance it looked like a S3 but when i...
