Im in need of 2 new tyres Firstly - wheres the best place (cheapest) to get michelin pe2's or ps3's from (or other recommendations?) Secondly, does it matter that much if i use say ps3's on the front and pe2's on the back, probably doesnt just i will have my OCD glasses and will be thinking...

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...

Hi, just bought 426, and pretty sure the drivers shock needs refurbing, bit of bounce and very crashy. will get refurbed, but my question is, I need to use the car (looking for number 2 vehicle at the mo) am I ok to use the trophy in the meantime? Or will this further add to the shock damage and...

I got my car's body work done couple of months ago inc the bonnet so it has very little defects! just the 'odd' stone chip and when I say odd I mean very little! Manage to get a brand new bonnet through warranty, reason being when you lift the bonnet up where the seams are there is a small...

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...

All, Can anyone tell me if the front wheel bearing is the same as that of a 182 sport. Mine was being down today but GSF sent two, both of which were incorrect. I've told my mechanic to order straight from Renault in the morning. Just wondering the experience of others on here. Thanks, David.

For those of you who don't use cliosport, thought i'd post up my new race car for this season for you to have a look at. Picked it up at the weekend, ex 2006 TCR Onslow-cole Championship winning car. Driven it the grand total of about 20 yards so far, on and off the trailer and into the garage...

Right guys I'm considering swapping my wheels. My Trophy is a second car and if I'm honest it all ways will be. The plan is to downsize to 15"Alloys, I only ever use the car in the dry so figured I could get away with a set of road legal track tyres, which would also cover the handful of...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gPAlJsRc7Dg&feature=fvst the new 4.4 litre V8 , 444bhp M3 GTS As standard six point harness, caged and a fire extinguisher . An engine so clean it actually repopulates depleted Brazilian rain forests while cuddling baby polar bears, lads it looks like BMW's...

What is a trophy worth in bits? The car in question is completely standard with engine failure Dampers are fine, one wheel has a kerb mark that I can see and the mileage is 65-70k miles. I'm informed the gearbox is fine and the recaro's are in mint condition, any help is appreciated

Just weighted my Trophy at BTM performance. 1093kg with half a tank in it and 12 CDs. Anyone else weighted there Trophy?

Hi, Thought I'd sign up here to get some info from Trophy owners before I test drive some. I currently own a Peugeot 106 Rallye 1.3 which I really like and recently thought I would never sell as it does almost everything that I want in a car(no I dont want comfort!)-steering feel, chassis...

Trophy #461 No clean shots in here detailing freaks. It gets driven, & it gets driven hard. 172k miles & counting. Mud is courtesy of the field at Haynes, which was perfect for handbrake turns ;) Trophy # 433 (now owned by Luke_89) On its holidays in August...

Just wondering how the Trophy stacks up against later Clio's? Similar pace, but what's the true quality difference and any handaling differences.

Gave the clio a clean today, looks as if the zymol wax is keeping a nice deep glossy shine Some may have seen when I had the timing done that I gave the sachs dampers a quick clean over, well I decided the full arch should be done, especially with the bad weather right around the corner, I felt...

Hi all, I'm new to the forum and as yet, haven't even got myself an RS Clio . However, that is hopefully about to change in the next week or so and I'm looking to buy a Trophy. Other than the reading I've done on the net and the usual Clio buyers guides that I've found, I can't seem to locate...

Hello all, haven't posted here for a while. Still have my T :D it's on 19000m and recently had the dampers serviced at BG. I had a question about getting the geo/camber done please. Since the dampers were taken out, I've lost the tracking, wheel alignment and camber and need to get it all...

Basically what i was wondering is how many people use their Trophy for what it was primarily designed for?, and im not necessarily talking about track days but also just goin out for a pointless drive or a bit of a blast on your favourite stretch of road. As daft as it sounds i sometimes feel a...

Trophy went for a MOT test yesterday. It passed but i got an advisory on one of the front dampers. Tester said there is slight misting from top of damper/bottom of spring, running part way down the damper and dust is sticking to it! Hasn't affected the ride or handling so may have only...

Okay, picked up Trophy 207 a couple of weeks back and today the quest began to make it like new! I'm aiming for a 100% factory-fresh look and feel and after not really getting anything much done in the past couple of weeks, progress is finally being made! Now, when I collected it, it was clear...

http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?525921-Whitby-Run-1st-August-2010.-Pictures-and-Videos Ok - With a lot of persuasion with the misses - Ive now got her to like the T's however she doesnt like the clio's because of the 'Chavy' look and feel that people proceive them to have...

After owning Trophy 452, I'm pleased to be collecting Trophy 207 tomorrow. Extremely excited too! I really regretted selling the Trophy; despite having some other good cars, to me none of them were as special. What's changed in the world of Clio Trophys since I've been away (sold in December...

Nice to meet you Luke 335 at Silverstone last night.. Glad you were treating George Ks old Khumos with respect they deserve ;-) How was your vibration? Find the problem? You were going fairly slowly when I eased past you going into Vale.. sorry about that! This was 200Cs first and trial...

A while ago when we had all the serious downpour in cumbria My T leaked in through the boot into the drivers foot well - out came the interior to give it a full drying. Since then it has been fine until..... I was on the way back for surrey the other week and it rained on the way home. Got back...

Hi everyone, I have a question on the whole suspension setup that I'm hoping that someone can help me with; What parts are there that wear out?! It is kind of hard to explain how my car does not feel as it once did, perhaps the best explanation is that i feel a little bit of a shudder through...

An interesting tyre review in this month's EVO (as well as a 20th birthday special on the Clio sports, with the Williams preferred). The tyre review caught my eye because it featured (an evolution of) a tyre which a few years ago highlighted to me the importance of tyres and the effect they can...

Hi Guys, For sale is my Clio 182 Trophy 2005 05 Reg number 6 of 500. The car has done 45,219 miles The car is in very good condition as you can see from the pics below. It does have some stone chips at the front and a few small dings as expected for a 5 year old car. As you will see below the...

I believe you can get a (?) mechanical Quaiffe diff fitted to a 182...? Around £1000 fitted. Meant to be a very useful mod. Has anyone got any experience/knowledge?

Hi everyone, as stated I've had an intermittent problem since i've owned the car. Got it checked out once before but nothing was found so I kinda just ignored it but when going along the M27 this morning it seemed to go mad. A dull drone started up from the nearside front and got louder and...
