It needed a front splitter aswell. When I asked the owner why it didn't have one he said I don't know I bought it like that. This plus the lack of damper rebuild plus an 8hr drive put me off! LoL
on goes the search might take a while!......
Hi guys, long time no speak.
Back on the hunt for a trophy for keeps after letting number 71 go back in 2008 when I bought my second v6 Clio. Sold the v6 in July last year when I picked up my brand new range rover (2 kids and the failing ability to change gear myself tempted me into land...
aye im one of the trophy's biggest advocates, they are in a league of their own compared to other cars like it,
trouble is paddy, as anyone will say you cant compare the trophy to a vee, even if it is the mk2 vee which is a LOT better than their first attempt. Having owned both types of vee...
been a while since ive looked on this site, been over on v6clio.net a lot having changed back to the vee last august. Seems the prices havent come down that much since i sold mine, some advertised at 6495, 6950 and instead of people spamming their threads to say 'thats too expensive' they are...
lol!!! i remember we went to the isle of man for a rally a few years ago when i had my old v6, my brother was so desperate for me to take it he was going to lie behind the seats cos there was 3 of us. Ended up taking his scooby instead!
i had this problem on my trophy and up to the day i sold it i couldnt cure it!! i changed gaskets, re-sealed the exhaust, fitted new clamps, nothing seemed to work. i just decided to put up with it and turn the tunes up when it annoyed me. I would be interested to hear how you get on with this!
technically you only have to change it at 36k or 5 years, i believe g40 steve did his to make his car more 'saleable'
personally i wouldnt bother, especially if your car hasnt lived a hard life. You will probably hit 36k before 5 years anyway so get it done then
loads more torque, u hardly need to change down gears for overtaking etc, more of a 'lazy' engine until you wind it up unlike the revvy 2.0 of the trophy.
and as for the noise!!!............... :D
My clio trophy is now up for sale, genuine reson for sale, just purchased a clio v6 and cant justify to the wife me having 2 weekend cars!! (i tried)
It is number 71/500 on an 05 plate, having done 23k miles.
Full renault history, new brakes fitted on the front (brembo max discs about 3k miles...
dont worry reboot i have plans to get the pics taken and up on here asap!!
they will look quite special together!! I was previously chunkv6 on here then chunktrophy, i suppose i better go back to the old name!! but only once the trophy is sold!!
yeah they are seriously wide and look mean on...
finally some proper pics of the new v6 i bought a few weeks ago. Ive got the p/plate switched over but the v5's havent come through so the trophy is on the driveway waiting to be put up for sale. Any1 looking to get into trophy ownership pm me or ring 07917 222362 for details, shouldnt be long...
haha, i would love to keep the two renaultsports, every time i see the trophy at home i think whats the point but the slight sensible side of me says i should get rid of the trophy as i have a fiesta aswell. they do look good sitting together, gonna get some pics taken this weekend and i will...
im gonna get a bit of a photo shoot with the 2 of them together, think the pics will be awesome!!
simon, i will give you a shout lyk, u been in a vee before? they are pretty special!!
ive been a bit sad since i waved goodbye to my v6 a couple of years ago and since the purchase of the trophy i have always kept my eye out at the prices etc. The trophy has been an outstanding car and one of the best i have owned. I was browsing pistonheads last tuesday and spotted a 54 plate...
