Recently purchased from Feirny for both the Bedford trackday on Saturday 16th (where it performed absolutely faultlessly, & allowed me to have a flipping awesome day!!) and to replace the R32, I’ve now been informed that a Clio is not really suitable for work/car allowance purposes anymore. As...
Nick has agreed to buy the Trophy, but at a much lower spec than it is currently, so all the modified bits are for sale

H&R Coilovers (for 182 Cup...
Not really using the Trophy at the moment (twice in 6 weeks), so if someone else wants it as is, they can have it, if not, I will strip everything of worth from it at some point over the next few months and keep the shell and running gear in the barn.
This is my 2nd Clio Trophy. Having...
Last weekend was my two year anniversary of owning the little French S1tbox, so thought id celebrate the event by giving it a well deserved clean over the weekend!!
Method for the geeks: Pressure wash, AG shampoo & wash mit, bucket with grit guards, followed by half a bottle of of Iron-X. I...
Ktec Upper Engine Mount - bought 2nd hand, but not fitted to my car as of yet.
£85 delivered.
For sale as i only bought them for the Llandow trackday and then it rained, so they werent used
These are the 7x15" ET38 version (normally only available in white), that have subsequently been...
Well, after fitting them last week, setting the front camber to -2 degrees negative on Friday and doing the Llandow trackday with CS yesterday, i can safely say that the H&R's are very worthy replacement to the Sachs.
Handling is nigh on exactly the same as the Sachs/Sportline combo that i had...
Or perhaps not.
This is a Trophy afterall ... Handling > Lowz:up:
On Sachs / Sportlines
On H&R's
Very pleased so far, ride is lovely, far better than the Sachs in fact, which would imply that they are probably a little softer. Havent really pushed it particularly hard as the camber/toe...
How much should they bounce exactly? Has anyone done a video at all ...
Mine seem to move fairly easily - although they were only refurbed 13k ago lol (not by BG)

Looking to spend a little money on the Trophy now as the steering (since the 'tracking was done at Kwik Fit) has got progressively more loose/wobbly over the past few weeks - im thinking they buggered something up with too much heat? Front Sachs seem fine and have only done 15k since they were...
Well, it's time to clear out all of the stuff I’ve got kicking about (1 double length garage and 2x sheds worth). If you need it, chances are i've got it kicking about.
All parts are from either a Titanium Ph1 172 with 85k, a Monaco Blue Ph2 172 with 72k, a or a Titanium Silver 182 with 58k on...
The forum has loads of them.
Half the time the page wont load, & when it does its not in the correct format.
Keep getting 'server' errors as well where the page wont load.
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...
Commencing on the 26/8/11 JMS Automotive Limited will cease trading.
Due to changing personal circumstances over recent weeks amongst other reasons, James and I have made the decision to shut the business and pursue other interests.
We are pleased too be able to introduce Michael and Jack...
Bought for the Trophy - was going to use it as a daily if i bought an M3.
Now going away to Thailand for a month, so wont be getting one for a while yet ...
Located in Basingstoke, Chertsey, Hampton, or Pulborough.
Seats, £180 collected
Doorcards, £80 collected.
Firstly, a 182 Milltek exhaust. There is a dent in one of the boxes on the centre section but no blows or leaks. Will clean up like new. Please note the bad hanging is because the car was knackered, not the exhaust.
£275 Collected
Then a KTR 182 Sports cat. Had originally planned on fitting...
Currently umming & ahhing about buying an e46 M3 in the next 6 months, so may sell the Trophy at some point ... i have absolutely no idea whats its worth though due to the laughable mileage.
FYI, i know whats its worth in bits, but not as a whole, so im just thinking in case someone wanted one...
After trying to buy one for years!! I finally managed to get my grubby mitts on an MSV cage, so I trundled off to Oxford services on Saturday morning, & came back with a shiny new toy.
Reason for getting a bolt-in as opposed weld? Well, I wasn’t happy about having buckets, harnesses and no...
Essentially, on Saturday, somebody parked their rather clean looking Trophy in our car park next to mine, the gf noticed & said, 'that red clio's really nice'. After then explaining to her that it was a Trophy, just like mine, & that under all the dirt, they were both exactly the same colour ...
Firstly, thanks to James & Tom at JMS, despite having to be on the Eurotunnel at 6am this morning, James was bleeding my brakes at midnight last night - mostly thanks to another of our friends bringing in a last minute brake related emergency/c0ck up i might add ... IR tired.
So, the work done...

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 ...
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.
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...
