    Trophy #423 For Sale

    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??

    Trophy #423 For Sale

    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...

    Hard decisions...

    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...

    Clio No.2...

    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?

    Clio No.2...

    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...

    Clio No.2...

    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.

    Clio No.2...

    I'm a bit confused about whether it's a 182 Cup, or a 182 with Cup pack. It has A/C, electrics etc. What were the differences in the trim levels?

    Clio No.2...

    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...

    Garage Car ramps & lifts...

    I'm home from sea in the next couple of weeks so I'll get on the case then. I'll stick an update on if I get something sorted!

    Garage Car ramps & lifts...

    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...

    Garage Car ramps & lifts...

    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...

    Performance Driving Course

    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...

    Spare parts and bits for Clio/Trophy

    No problem, I've messaged on another thread about a set of faded ones anyway which I might take and get them sprayed. Cheers

    Pair of door handles

    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!

    Noisy!

    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...

    Cheers, I'll check them both out too!

    Noisy!

    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!

    Noisy!

    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...

    Tried two places, both looking around £600 for belts, water pump & dephaser How does that sound to average prices?

    Already on the case getting prices for it locally. Was just wondering if anyone recognised the Tractor noise or not?!:confused:

    Noisy!

    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...

    Ah, I've just realised my club membership wouldn't let me see all the forum posts. Hopefully I can get on when my renewal clears with them!
