For sale is my 2005 Renault Clio Trophy (205/500). Having owned this car slightly over 4 years I can say it's been one of the most enjoyable and reliable cars I've owned and certainly lives up to it's reputation as one of the best FWD hatchbacks ever made! Only selling due to the recent purchase...
Drove Goodwood for the first time yesterday, good fun that track. These were from my first session so not the quickest of the day but the bloody GoPro ran out of battery after this which was annoying. In the later sessions I was lapping nearer to 1:30 which I was happy with...
This was the 2nd lap I completed, slow I know but with no knowledge of the track I didn't fancy an off. Gopro ran out of battery for the final two in which I was getting slightly more confident. All in all it's good fun and that's the real reason I went.

Illustrated my Trophy the other night messing about and after posting it on Cliosport it seemed fairly popular and a few people enquired about buying prints. With that in mind I popped it up on Redbubble so people can grab a copy if they like and there's a few options of what prints you can...

When one of my Sachs failed recently I was in a real dilemma over what to do. To have them refurbished is the best part of £500 just for the front two shocks and there’s no real warranty on the repair. Combine that with the horror stories of people having them refurbished just for them to either...
Finally someone on the same page as me. I'll certainly let you know how I get on with them, going to cornerweight the car this evening and get the allignment sorted Saturday.
As for paying for fitting them, if you can't undo 10 bolts you don't really deserve to own one of these.
They are indeed BC's. Decided on them for various reasons but the main ones being that they offer damping adjustment for sub £800 and I ran them on my EK9 and absolutlely loved them.
I haven't posted any full pictures yet as the car looks like it's doing a poo at current as the rear ride height...
Whilst these are on it means I can refurb the Turinis. The wheels i came across on ebay, turned out I knew the chap selling them who was an old friend so popped to see him and pick them up. Then my Dad powder coated them for me and I grabbed some tyres off a friend of a friend so all in wheels...
After killing another pair of tyres on the Turini's I decided to be a cheap skate and downsize to 15's to save myself a few quid in the long run. Don't panic the Turini's aren't going anywhere.
Anyway what's everyones thoughts on the new rolling stock?
Mine currently need doing. Noticed the car skipping the nearside wheel on quicker left hand bends. Having contacted both Cornering Force and BG I can't believe the price difference between the two companies, safe to say I know who I'll be sending mine too.
They're set at about -1.4, after reading other settings people on here had I did as for a little more but the guy who set it up for me certainly knows his stuff when it comes to geometry and advised it would be too much. After driving it I'd say it's pretty much now.
Well I've had the car quite a while now and I'm really enjoying it. Anyway I've spent a few quid on the car lately sorting out some bits and bobs that were bothering me. The new additions include:
Miltek catback
Eibach Sportlines and camber bolts
Heko wind deflectors
Also a few months back now...
I'm really tempted by these, they seem to have some really good reviews from the people who have installed them so far and lower the car a decent amount which let's be honest isn't a bad thing on a trophy as they do sit like 4x4's. Plus the price is really sensible too BUT if Trouser says no I...
Shame you didn't answer my question in its entirety there. The thing you must understand is everyone hasn't merely read a few guides on the internet and picked up a rotary and called themselves a detailer. There are people out there who aren't paying attention to what the internet has to say...
