Well few weeks back decided to sell me old 197 to free up some cash an buy myself another cheaper but still fun car. The main reason is due to me moving out with the missus but I still wanted something nippy an after hours of browsing various classifieds I settled on a ph2 sport as it ticked...

Hi Everyone, Im currently looking to buy a trophy and over the past few weeks I've noticed more and more coming up for sale but rarely selling. Then last night 3 came up for sale within the space of 2 hours on Pistonheads. Is this a coincidence or am I missing something here? Is there an...

Item number: 290736770009 Selling my car on Ebay to buy a bigger motorbike. Can you guys have a look and see if you would change anything? Thank you ;)

Standard speed line alloy, light curbing that goes around 1/3rd rim, if anyone's interested il post a photo...I no longer have the trophy so this is surplus to requirements

I was gonna get a resonator welded in the centre section of my Yozza but I think its a waste of money, plus I'm pretty sure there s someone who'd love to try one, great product About 6 k miles old, Im after a silenced Janspeed maybe with some cash on my way, let me know if you have one and we...

Hello everyone. It's been a while but this still is the best car enthusiast forum IMO. Good to be on here again and may well be back in a Clio subject to job situation. I'll be selling my 5.5 AMG merc as it's not very economical as you can imagine. So, my question is, in a nut shell, what are...

I have my Clio 182 Trophy No.440 for sale; I have owned thisfor the past 2 years and will be sad to see it go. Genuine reason for sale as I needed something bigger that Icould get tools and bits in. Due to me being a full time mechanic the Trophy has beenmaintained to the highest standard and...

Can anyone give me some advise on exhausts? I need a new rear section soon and was wondering should i go Yozza sport? Just want a 'sporty' sound than the original. If anyone can give me any alternatives and ideas of price? how does the price differ against original? I have heard a Yozzasport...

Guys, General thoughts on tyres. I noticed the other day my rear tyres are seriously cracked, I think they look like the orginal PE2. They still have plenty of tread on them, but doubt very much they will pass the MOT in June ? I know there is a sticky on tyre choice on here. Getting hold of...

Before you get over excited it was a cat C right off in 2010 but has been repaired and I have been using it for almost a year with no problems. OK for the ones still here, here are the details. 05 plate 63000 miles both belts done on 60000 miles MOT to 26 9 12 tax to end of May. Fitted with...

Having been looking for another trophy for around a month now and there seems to be quite a few that still havent had the dampers re furbed yet. Just wondering how many on here are still running their cars without problems?

Alright all, finally got the car back on the road but only just passed mot due to poor braking results on the rollers. Weird thing is i didn't touch the brakes while the car was off the road! They were rusted up due to sitting there for 6 weeks so i took her for many 70mph to 0 foot heavy on the...

Hi guys, My current set up on my clio is too loud for daily driving so im looking to tone it down. I have the following for swap/for sale: K-Tec Mid Section (Non Silenced) and de-cat SWAP FOR CAT and silenced version of the KTec midsection Pipercross induction kit SWAP FOR standard air box...

So thought I'd buy an RSTuner, see what the fuss was about. TBH can't say I've noticed the kind of improvement some people talk of, I think its more of a placebo effect of thinking the car must be faster. Anyhow, did the long drive to Huddersfield and noticed my MPG at the end was 31. I do...

Hi all, Was thinking about buying a different car but now considering refreshing the Trophy and 205. Sachs damper refurb, tyres, brakes, remap and rs192 exhaust for the T. This month's Evo features a Pug1off 205 Gti which looks amazing. 195bhp 6 speed with brakes, suspension etc would cost...

Hi guys, I was wondering how many of you would recommend Sportlines over the stock trophy Eibach springs. I' d love to get some low but I'd never compromise handling for look. cheers Al

Morning all, not been on here for a while! Seeing as we had freakishly good weather yesterday (I got sunburnt ffs!), I decided to give the car a mini detail and grab some pics. I also found a 197 RS badge that I forget I bought 18 months ago, so stuck it on. Nothing special with the photos tbh...

Hey chaps (ettes!) Was giving the Trophy a wash today and noticed that, before long, am sure that the last fading speedline logo is going to disappear from the wheel lip. I have, on the back the CT numbered sticker and thought it might be an idea to get some stickers made up in the same way...

I met Harry Metcalf at an evo track evening last year and he asked me why I had not thought about a newer car, implying that the new models are better. Any way with this thought in mind I went and test drove a Clio 200 on a cup chassis the other day. My thoughts, new car is bigger, much more...

Just thought I would do an update from a myself, a new owner member of a trophy re 131. Picked T up from Wales last Wednesday , first to see did buy! Great price but as always there is a snag, not deliberate by the seller more like the things to do when you get a second hand performance car! On...

There must be a few ?

Renault Clio Renaultsport 182 Trophy No. 71 of 500 48,600miles Bought in Nov 2009, selling because we need a bigger car for a dog (good lady wants one for her bday in March!). Won’t need any further money spending on it until tax at the start of July and then service/MOT in November...

Hi Please can someone confirm if the Trophy does or doesn't use Can Bus? Muchos gracias

anyone had any problems with these?? mine seems to have ripped the hanger off the rear box on the o/s. is this a common fault??? only had a quick shufty but n/s seems to be braced, o/s not. bit of a shite design imho.

It's approaching insurance renewal time so I thought I'd start an honesty thread. If I was being up front about modifications to the T I'd declare: - Filter upgrade (ITG panel) - Suspension upgrade without lowering (Koni rear dampers) - Brake upgrade (Ferodo/Brembo) - Exhaust upgrade...

Spent yesterday on a one-way road, without speed limits in my Trophy (& a pal's 182) yesterday - given it's age & mileage it entertained immensely - just grips, turns in, then revs like there's no tomorrow! Picked up a stone chip which cracked my six week old windscreen, but that aside the day...

Likle they say. . . . . . Dont see one for ages then two come along at once. Although they were a good 80 miles apart. 1. Coming along the A14 Eastbound towards the Brampton Hut roundabout around 7.45am 2. In or near Shirley with the big Tesco on the roundabout, saw you heading along past the...

I have had two Trophys both which have done this. When parking and wheels near full lock the steering wheel becomes light and wants to go onto full lock its self as if the wheels are tilted over. Also if the road is wet the T front tires slip very easily when turning. It never bothered me as i...

As above, Janspeed/KTR straight through centre section for Clio 182 2.25" bore stainless steel Includes sleeve to attach onto cat £80 + postage

There are quite a few driving-related things which annoy me so I thought I'd post one each month until I run out - call it therapy if you like. Maybe everyone will agree with me, more than likely they won't, and maybe this will spark a bit of a debate/controversy. Whatever the outcome post your...
