    Tidy Racing blue

    172 Cup Track/Fast Road car.

    Looking great Phil! Although that loom brings back nightmares lol. Think it looks weirder than when in Guppy's due to the lack of battery ... Can you not refit the sunvisors? I still had mine in the saxo even when it was all stripped out.

    Ollie82's 172 Cup Year by Year Documentary Thread.

    I'm not gonna lie Ollie, my eyes hurt looking at that thing. Although to be fair, you need a flat bottom wheel to fit your gangly limbs in behind it :race:

    Flogging ECU's to numpties on saxp is obviously good business ;)

    182 - spare tyre?

    Renault told me i needed to change the sparewheel on my 182 as the tread was illegal :rolleyes: Needless to say, i asked them to show me before parting with any cash ...

    Ollie82's 172 Cup Year by Year Documentary Thread.

    I can safely say that i've been waiting for this thread for 3 years. Doesnt disappoint so far either!! Although i am slightly disappointed that you had a life before FailSport, i thought we completed you :o Anyways, enough sentiment, more pics & story required, i need something to read at...

    Nick172Cup's Arctic Blue Clio 182 FF Comfy Daily/Trackcar.

    Yup, the rear Sachs are pretty soft in comparison, hence the addition of the Whiteline is such a good mod on the Trophy - really helps tighten up the rear. In addition, if you have rear adjustables, you can also start to play with the damping on the front to suit your own handling...

    Trophy. Detailed.

    Not sure if we used the right rotary though, seemed to be quite abrasive :o Oh, & it sparked.

    ITB's, Turbo'd or SC'd?

    No no no. Buy an e36 M3. Weld a clio bodyshell on top. Instant ITBs, 300bhp & RWD. Win.

    ITB's, Turbo'd or SC'd?

    Same. Hence why i still have the clio !! In addition, when you find yourself owning a much much faster/better car than the clio, you soon realise why the clio is so awesome in the 1st place. Its not massively quick, but it is massively fun at lowish speeds, so actually the enjoyment is...

    ITB's, Turbo'd or SC'd?

    Is it though? Really. You forget, i've been there, done that & got the T-Shirt, hence the advice. In fact, i had a wail of a time scraping the doorhandles off your cup at the 'ring, with just a set of DS2500's ;) A standard one for £1500, £500 of new brakes/tyres & £6000 worth of track days.

    Ha ha, probably the best maintained/loved one on the site !! Just not the cleanest lol ;)

    Trophy. Detailed.

    With all these pictures of clean Trophy's all over the forum i though i had better do something about mine!!! So i also took some snaps, of what it looks like after 3 months of dirt :slap: Need to do it again really, struggling to see out the side windows now ...

    ITB's, Turbo'd or SC'd?

    Why dont you just go to a trackday in it as standard, then see what you want to change? Bear in mind, that you wont get much change from 400 quid all in per day ...
  16. Sir_Dave

    ITB's, Turbo'd or SC'd?

    I try ... Seriously though, unless you are completely minted & have more money than sense, i see absolutely no point spending 3 grand on fitting ITB's to a clio. Do some track days, see what is wrong with the car, then spend money on what you want to improve imho. Want less understeer/more...

    All these Trophy threads make me really want to clean mine properly. Then attack it with the clay bar & DAS-6 :o

    Finally fitted the 8X15 Rota Grid V's

    Bought one of the best handling FWD hatches ever. Check. Fitted stupidly wide wheels that ruin the handling & make it drive like a VAG. Check. Not sure if i understand your thought process?

    Trophy's look awesome!! R32 looks like it needs some adjustable rear tie bars lol ...

    Trophy on Auto Trader... any good?

    Why not lol. Makes bugger all difference its in been looked after! My 181k mile Trophy drives exactly the same as my old 50k mile one. In fact, it has more power ...

    Yellowstuffs knackered - how long do DS2500s last on average?

    I've done about 40k miles including 5 trackdays & 10 laps of the ring on my DS2500s's ...

    trophy nr1

    I dont see why paying 10k for a Trophy with 16k on it is madness, but if you were to pay £10k for a 200 with 16k on it, that would be fine?
  25. Sir_Dave

    trophy nr1

    Oh rly. My sachs did 168k before needing a rebuild. Which was easily sorted. The H&R coilovers i had that were buggered after 55k, & trying to get them rebuilt was nigh on impossible, so i gave up.

    My MK1 Audi titty 1.8t Quattro (apparently boring content)

    I bought a mint set last year, with Michelin tyres (on 6mm) for £395 off eBay - Just wait a little while & pick up a bargain. Unless your 'cheap/bargain' 3 grand TT needs four tyres as well as the major service, cambelt & steering rack?
  27. Sir_Dave

    trophy nr1

    I'm aware of how much you can get one for you berk, i own one ... Would quite happily pay £10k for that. In fact, if i didnt already have one (& the M3), id probably be tempted to buy that one. With only 16k miles on it, it would last me for years.

    Nah, the bottom two are both facelift. Highroller edition iirc.
