wheels

Shocks refurbished, new wishbones and balljoints, reset geometry, driving to a trackday and there was a little clonk every now and then over bumps; thinks - STM's??? nope;- Took off wheels and checked the front pads and look what I found! [attachment=0:8f0phgz7]cl5+2.jpg[/attachment:8f0phgz7]...

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...

As I was moving cars about & an opportunity to take a quick pic presented itself. The Trophy next to my Lancia integrale EVO & our recently purchased EP3 Civic Type-R Premier Edition.

David the Ed' has been busy and the next issue is Rammed to the brim with content. We have a new technical editor on board so welcome to Rob Hawkins (many of you will know him). As a special the magazine has for the sixth consecutive issue jumped in size and now over 35% thicker than it was...

This is what I picked up on sat - drove to manchester to collect it. Been very well looked after, no dents or marks on the body work. The recaros needed a clean up with the brush and alcantara cleaner. IMG_4838 by Gib#244, on Flickr IMG_4839 by Gib#244, on Flickr IMG_4832 by Gib#244, on...

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

Hi folks, I know there have been several threads on this topic and I have also looked on cliosport. I had been thinking I would get new ball joints without the wishbone and fit them to my trophy and at the same time fit uprated poly bushes to the wishbone. After reading on cliosport the...

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...

Hi, Newbie just signing on and wanted to introduce myself. I'll be on the lookout for a Trophy or possibly a 182 with both Cup packs and recaros as a daily driver. I have a S1 Elise for the weekend, although I'm expecting that if what I read about the Tropy and 182 is right, I might be using...

Car got some work done today so it was treated to a small wash. Just waiting on some 182 wheels so i can send my speedlines away to get powerder coated.

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...

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 ...

From yesterday. Saw a couple of other Trophy's as well, Spank-It being one of them, not sure on the other :oops: New suspension setup on the Trophy is fantastic (set to -2.8 degrees negative front / -1.8 degrees rear), maybe not in the wet mind you, but when it dried out; lift, turn in, foot...

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

I feel the shame already Just a little comparison, I love them both though Basically I got offered these cheap, they'd done relatively no miles and as I dont intend to drive the trophy hard this year at all then I thought why not enjoy the added looks low cars give....atleast to...

182 engine on 93k. Slightly rattly de-phaser pulley when warm. Can be supplied with a 3 month old dephaser pulley if required. Cambelt and Auxbelt done 2 years ago by Sideways Danny. Can be heard running or can be taken to JMS for condition check- £355. 182 gearbox on 93k. No crunches and...

OK, so last night i got the Geo done by a mates garage. Yes, they are a bodyshop, but when you are the authorised repairer for Lotus, Aston, Ferrari, Lamborghini & Pagani, you probably know how to set up a clio lol ... So, effectively, since we fitted the front suspension, the Toe has been out...

Hello one and all, Been looking into buying a Clio Trophy. Was just wondering what you guys recommend checking outside of the obvious when looking at Trophy's. I know the dampers may need refreshing. How do you know if they do? Are there any tell tale signs? Any help would be appreciated. Does...

Just got myself a Trophy which has the Mark fish springs and koni rear shocks. Have played around with the settings on the shocks and as recommended elsewhere on here have set the rears at 1 and a quarter off full soft and the fronts at 22 clicks. I do a lot of road miles and am finding the...

Hi all, just saying hello and having a crafty look around here. I am currently on the look out for a Trophy, so i thought i would join up on here and do my homework. Cheers Mossy

I've just been out and had a test drive in my first Trophy today. Unfortunately, I didn't note what number it is. Quick questions. 1-we have 3 auto cars at the moment and haven't driven a manual for a while. The clutch engaged/disengaged cleanly but did seem a bit heavy. 2-the steering wheel had...

Hi everybody, Just bought a Clio Trophy a couple of weeks ago and I seem to have a bit of a weird problem with it. When I break the car initially pulls to the left, but then trails dead straight when I break harder. I have checked the brakes and there is nothing wrong with them. I have also...

A friend of mine is selling one of his motors - a spotless Cup packed RS Clio 200 with graphite options (wheels, dash etc), Recaro's also - every conceivable option... as I say it's spotless. It's done 8k so barely run in. He's looking for around £14k (just below book price) so is a bargain for...

After some Turinis, spare set. Gutted I missed out on the set just sold.

Pick my car up from jamsport saturday after having ported and matched inlet, custom remap, whiteline rear arb, pagid front discs, ferodo ds2500 front pads, goodridge braided brake hoses all round and 5.1 brake fluid so will let you all know the results fingers crossed they will be good :lol:

Selling my spare set of Trophy wheels. They are unmarked, and have plenty of meat left on the tyres (205/45/16). Collection only, will not courier. I'm in Hinckley. First £450 cash. No dibs, bagsies or whatever. First come first served.
