    Tyres - PE2's vs Parada Spec 2's

    I've stretched another couple of months use out of my tyres since I first started considering replacement but I need to get them done now. It's come down to a choice between the standard Michelins or Yoko's at about a tenner a wheel less... Has anyone put Parada's on their Trophy and what did...

    Hullo!

    Now don't shoot me, but I'm a Civic Type R driver, had one for 4 years and looking for a change. Been considering a cup for a while, and now that Trophies are starting to 'possibly' fall into my price range, I thought I'd do some research! Now there's no doubting the looks, performance...

    Puncture repaired tyre on a trackday - is it safe?

    Got a puncture repair in one of my tyres, and I am not sure whether or not to trust the repair on track? The tyre place that fitted said that they are rated to 220mph and it should therefore be fine on track, but I'm worried that the increased heat and pressure and the increased movement in the...

    Anyone got a spare Michelin Pilot Exalto 2 for sale?

    As per the subject, anyone got one for sale? Must be original Trophy size 205/45/16, any mileage and wear considered as I only need it for a trackday - cash waiting and I will collect. Cheers! :D

    Happy Birthday ClioTrophy.co.uk!

    I just realised the website was one year old on the 7th July. No prizes for guessing why there wasn't a big celebration that day. Nik, you're obviously not from London to launch a website on that day. Who's got the oldest Trophy on here? And who has done the most miles?

    ESP on or off - how do you do it!

    Taking over from Pete G's post in the number plate thread, how does everyone use their ESP? (no responses about extra sensory perception please! :wink: ) Day to day driving, I just leave it on, you never know when you may need it's assitance (oil on the roads etc). When I'm driving hard...

    Track time for the Trophy

    I think it will interesting to see how many owners have taken their Trophy's on track, or are planning to, this may be organised track days, airfields, private tracks, drag strips, race events or the Nurburgring. I'm going to be taking mine soon, so at the moment it's a track virgin... Edit -...

    Understeer anyone?

    Just how fast can you corner with these things? I think i'm having to re-learn my entry speeds into corners. I entered a roundabout today with no drop in my approach speed and flung it out the same road I came in with nothing more than a bit of squeaking from the tyres. It really is quite...

    Considering selling mine (90/500)

    Hi all, I seem to be increasing the number of miles that I am now doing and am cosidering a mile cruncher (read: 320d) as my daily driver. I feel I am not doing the Trophy any justice :( Just as a guide my car gets equal if not better treatment than my girlfriend including: - Washer...

    Kumho V70A Ecsta tyres.

    So Oliie's post about trackday rims and tyres got me thinking that I should probably do the same thing and get a set of trackday tyres to stop me killing a set of road tyres every other trackday. The tyres that I have read the most about on this forum are the Kumho V70A's, and I just want to see...

    brake upgrade

    At the moment I'm running standard discs and pads with up-rated fluid and hoses. I'm looking to upgrade the front pads for my trip to Abbeville in France with easytrack next month and have pretty much decided on the Ferodo DS2500. Is it also worth changing the discs at the same time for...

    maintenance after a trackday

    For those of you that have tracked your trophy's what did you have to replace after the trackday. Obviously i'm thinking tyres, brake pads etc but did you actually have to replace them? or were they still ok?

    Gadgets and Gismos!

    I thought it might be an idea to see what little gadgets etc people have added to their Trophy's. The kinda things that are slightly less expensive than new exhaust systems ( :wink: ) but are nonetheless fun and could be useful to some people! I've added a Dension Ice Kit to mine so now I...

    Trackday insurance

    How many people pay for it? If not why not? Does your normal policy cover you? Are you so rich it doesn't matter? I'm interested because I would never consider going out on the track with cover, but some people seem to be very blase. From various people I've heard it suggested that all you...
