Renault Sport Clio 182 - Full Fat
MOT expired December 2019
This was bought by me in 2018 as a project and has had little or no use since then. Other vehicles and house projects have taken over so I need to move it on unfortunately. Garaged for majority of my ownership - has been on the...
Very quiet on the car sale front! Anyone got any idea if something putting people off? Is it too expensive? There have been a few on the market the last few weeks and I would say mine was particularly mid-range in terms or mileage, condition and price. Any ideas??
My Trophy is going up for sale. We have enjoyed our time together but I just don't have the space to keep her now with my new daily driver and another 182 sitting on the drive as a project.
As far as up to date description, here goes;
Bought the Car December 2016 and had the following work...
So this is what my current situation looks like, not including the van that we have for dog transporting... I may have bitten off a bit more than I can chew at the moment with major house renovations and a wedding next year to pay for. For that reason the Trophy will be up for sale in the next...
Yeah, I know about the whole spacing on the front shocks. I'll get a look at that this week and see. It'll be 60mm spacing if for Cup shocks is that right?
Brakes have all been done since last MOT with Brembo HC discs & Brembo pads from what I can see.
I'm going to have a better crawl about under it whenever its dry this week and see what looks newish, got quite a few receipts for parts but not stated if O/S, N/S or parts replaced in pairs etc...
Well, I think that's cleared things up.
It's got a front splitter but not sure if rear spoiler is any bigger than normal. Pic attached below. I'm pretty sure it must have a previous owner floating around some of the forums somewhere. Got a Cliosport.net sticker in rear window.
So, I just impulse bought another Clio. Be nice to have one I can drive when the Trophy is tucked up in the garage.
I can also scratch my itch to modify this one :blush:
I'll be looking for some advice soon on where to start. First point will be how to get it handling a close to the Trophy as...
Cheers for that Ben, ideally I'd like to see one of these set ups in real life before I bought something anyway. Thats why I thought I'd see if anyone here had used one. I might just have to persevere with the jack and axle stands for a bit longer and start saving for something a bit more...
A proper lift would be ideal one day, too many other things to spend my money on at the moment though :weary:, maybe one day I'll get round to my dream garage/workshop setup! Seem to get a bit more height out the scissor type and it looks like you can lift the whole car on the level too which...
Does anyone have any experience of home car ramps or lifts that wont break the bank?
I have seen a few options around including the one below on Ebay...
Has anyone on the forum done the Performance driving course at Knockhill in their Trophy, or any other car for that matter?
I'm thinking about doing it at some point in the next few months, I got my Trophy in December and I'm thinking it would be good to drive it on the one day course to get a...
I'll take them, give me a private message and I can Paypal you money and give you a delivery address, mine are pretty faded so these would be ideal to get sprayed and switch them!
Just back from Rotterdam with work, booked the car in next week for Timing belt, aux belt, Dephaser pulley, water pump, Oil & Coolant.
Changed air filter this afternoon for one from K-tec. Also had plugs and leads before Xmas. Hopefully get some driving out of it soon!
Got a new front...
I only noticed it after being out for a run, when the car was warm. I was thinking dephaser noise was more noticeable on a warm engine??
Hopefully it'll sound a lot better after servicing!
Thanks for all the advice, I understand the recommended service schedule. Like I said I have only had the car since last week and I'm in the process of planning jobs to be done. Once I find the right place it'll be going in for Timing belt, Aux belt, Dephaser pulley & water pump.
This will put...
So I've only been out in my new Trophy a few times since I got it before Christmas, just had her out on a decent run today and is driving great except...
When I got back I noticed it was noisier under the bonnet than I had noticed before. After checking out a few other posts on the Forum I...
