Saw you while i was filling my car up at tescos in church langley, Harlow, on Friday Morning. I think you are on here and that you used to own a trophy?

Firstly, thanks to James & Tom at JMS, despite having to be on the Eurotunnel at 6am this morning, James was bleeding my brakes at midnight last night - mostly thanks to another of our friends bringing in a last minute brake related emergency/c0ck up i might add ... IR tired. So, the work done...

Just wondered is the same rubbish that was on ebay a while back? I don't think it's worth 5,500, in my opinion, what does anyone else think? Probably worth that much to someone who has never heard of a trophy. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/2005-RENAULT-CLIO ... 519wt_1139

Hey folks my car is up for sale just thought i would put it here to see if there was any interest in it, as it's on a few other forums as well all the contact details are my husbands Grant if you need any info :mrgreen: looking for £3500 ovno for it pictures do not do this car justice, looks...

Hi, I test drove a Megane 250 Cup and Clio Sport 200 back to back today and I can't decide which is better. The car will mainly be a daily driver with occasional trackday use. The handling of both is great but the Megane might be a better car to live with day to day (if only it looked better)...

Hello one and all, Been looking into buying a Clio Trophy. Was just wondering what you guys recommend checking outside of the obvious when looking at Trophy's. I know the dampers may need refreshing. How do you know if they do? Are there any tell tale signs? Any help would be appreciated. Does...

So what happened to you all then? I remeber the thread saying a few T owners were joining the goup buy then nothing. . . . Was hoping there would be a few reviews, videos, sound bites anything really. Is it silence as all you do now is sit in the car all day everyday listening to the induction...

Just got myself a Trophy which has the Mark fish springs and koni rear shocks. Have played around with the settings on the shocks and as recommended elsewhere on here have set the rears at 1 and a quarter off full soft and the fronts at 22 clicks. I do a lot of road miles and am finding the...

Hi everybody, Just bought a Clio Trophy a couple of weeks ago and I seem to have a bit of a weird problem with it. When I break the car initially pulls to the left, but then trails dead straight when I break harder. I have checked the brakes and there is nothing wrong with them. I have also...

Finally managed to get myself a 182 after years of wanting one. Never thought i'd be lucky enough to get a Trophy. Found it on a salvage site that my dad was using for work and pursuaded him to get it. Its no. 400/500 and needs a bit of work lol. When i first got it home When we got it...

Pick my car up from jamsport saturday after having ported and matched inlet, custom remap, whiteline rear arb, pagid front discs, ferodo ds2500 front pads, goodridge braided brake hoses all round and 5.1 brake fluid so will let you all know the results fingers crossed they will be good :lol:

Ok, so i dont normally whore, but thanks to James (JMS) and Mike (FailSport) last night, the TroFail is now finished. I'm sure a few of you will have read my project thread, & i'll update that with more info than in here, but chuffed isnt the word, it drives brilliantly & looks ruddy lovely imho...

I bought this car in November and have only just got it back from the garage The previous owner had put Gaz suspension on it,then lowered it and to add insult to injury put 195 tyres on it for the "streched" look. Needless to say it didn't drive as a Trophy should. Thankfully its now back to...

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...

Okay, for one reason or another I long longer have easy access to a PC so I suppose its time I bit the bullet and got laptop'd up. Don't really know a great deal so what should I be looking for in a good one etc etc. As for budget, I would rather not be spending huge amounts but will for a good...

Has anyone contemplated using them? If so, what brand and size? Also would they actually provide better grip than the PE2's in winter? I was looking at UK mean maximum temperatures from October to April, and between at least November to March temperatures should be highly suitable for winter...

Hey guys, went to try a new Megane RS 250 this morning from Hylton Renault Worcester. I tried a FF 250 version not the cup version which I would personally opt for, but was quite impressed by it anyway. It felt very composed and the build quality is indeed leagues ahead of the 182, as most...

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...

For sale is my 2005 Renault Sport Clio 182 Cup in Racing Blue, which has recently clocked 60,000 enjoyable and trouble free miles. I have owned the car for approximately two and a half years in which time it has been maintained regardless of cost and has been given some tasteful modifications to...

Evening, my dampers were serviced and re-gased in June last year on 22,000 miles. I have now done 28,000. Recently i have been noticing that when i go over speed bumps or any tiny pot-hole I am getting a knocking sound when the suspension compresses on the left hand side front. I have just had...

Rare One Owner and Low Mileage 05/55 Clio 182 Trophy. 26744m. An absolute stunner. Full details and more pics: http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/sales/1873102.htm IMO this car feels very tight, and an unprompted comment from technician too! It drives beautifully and there is no rebound whatsoever...

I hate those poxy trumpetty things, sounds like a swarm of bees and drives me round the bend! Don't normally watch football; no wonder :-(

driving home today the exhaust monitor warning light comes on when I get stuck in traffic. This goes of when moving. The handbook says go to renault soon as. Anyone else had this, if so does the t need a new exhaust. simon.

Hey. Im in the process of building a substantial workshop and thought I would post a progress thread on here now I have actually got to a stage where the buildings is nearly ready to be built. I’ll give you all a bit of background as to how it all came about… Around 15 years ago my parents...

Spotted this morning 8.30am, and another number of times on my way to work in and around ellesmere.

I had hoped it wouldn't come to this but due to work going tits up - redundancies, hours being cut etc etc, my beloved Trophy is going up for sale. Anyway enough of the sob story and a bit about the car: 2005 / 05 reg I'm the second owner - I bought it at 5 months old with 1800 miles on the...
