Seeing as my Trophy is slowly getting tweeked here and there thought I’d start a project thread here. Will have owned the car 5 years this summer. I’ll start with a write up from the previous years up to how little red stands now.

Having had a ride in a mate’s-mate’s Trophy I knew...
Finished off fitting my Pure Motorsport top mounts and brace today. Awesome quality kit, very surprised as to how well it rides not as harsh as I had expected. Unfortunately the camber is out atm so will need to get that set up so wasn't able to see how it felt properly, very impressed at 1st...
Am I right in saying the below setting are correct for a Cup 182/Trophy?
FRONT
Camber: -0.45'
Caster: 3.00'
Toe: -0.06' (Total: -0.12')
Steer ahead: 0.00'
REAR
Camber: -1.30'
Toe: -0.10' (Total -0.20')
Thrust Angle: 0.00'
From above printout. Obviously I run more front -ve camber but am I...
Handling on my Trophy doesn’t feel right at all. One of the camber bolts moved when I went over a bad hole last year and knowing I needed new tyres I held back getting it re-alligned. Fitted 4 new tyres (went from Exalto’s to Pilot Sport 3’s) but has never felt right. Seems to be nervous and...
Been meaning to put this thread up since last May xD
Front Dampers were due to be refurbished (had been weeping oil for a good few months from bottom of reservoir, which as I found out later I should have not ran on them) and had been collecting parts for that work, One day while fixing the...

Just got mine from the Demon Tweeks group buy. Was looking at all the metal fittings and wondering how these have coped with rust etc from people who have them fitted?
They look to only be plated and judging by the state of my exhaust clamps I replaced recently I'm wondering if it'd be worth...
Some of my pictures from yesterday. Awesome day, faultlessly ran and organized, awesome new facilities and met some awesome people. Very wet but good fun even on semi slicks...
Looking at getting new wheel bolts, anybody have any experience with coloured/coated ones?

Anybody know or have experience with splined headed ones?
Seeing as I had a nice 11 day weekend, thought I'd tidy up the rear of my Trophy. Heres what I got up to today
The Number plates had been bugging me for ages (well 4years almost lol) with the large garage logo and border, seeing as they had started to fade aswell decide to change them for some...
Got these two faults up;
O2 Sensor Front,
Front O2 Heater Front
Is it solely a lambda sensor fault? Had the top fault come up before and replaced the sensor.
Will be getting new front wheel bearings fitted so the hubs will be coming off, are there anything that needs to be replaced when refitting the hubs?
Driveshaft nut, splitpin, other nuts . . . etc?
Thanks

Got woken up this morning to my Clios alarm going on off ever 5sec or so. Only the sounder and no indicator flashing.
Open and closed on key then was ok.
Anyone else had this happen or know what's been set off on alarm circuit to do this?

Will be sending the dampers away to be refurbished soon, while car is off road looking to give front and rear end a refresh. Plan atm is:-
Front damper refurbishment,
Cleaning up front hubs and fitting new bearings,
Replacing rear dampers,
Replacing suspension top mounts,
various rust...
Can any improvements be done in the rear allignment on a Clio?
Front is setup at -1.5 deg camber.
with rear at -1.3deg camber (no shims) with approx 10 min toe in.
Or can anyone recomend a good setup that would be decent for both road/track keeping in mind that front camber will be no more...
I'm looking to change the dash strips, gear knob and steering insert. Plan is to just respray them in fresh silver paint atm to give them an as new look.
Having other thoughts recently so thought if anyone that has them done a bit differently to normal silver please post them up e.g. diff...
Anyone have a paint code or a brand etc thats a match for the Standard clio sport silver dash parts (dash strips, steering wheel badge and gear knob insert)
Have tried a can of silver I had, but it's not right shade, any ideas?
These are the standard silver/light grey ones not the carbon...
Does anyone have experience of the exact colout match for the dash strips/gear knob/steering wheel badge? The plain silver ones not the carbon look style.
I know it's silver but tried a few different silvers I have but seem to be different shade. Does anyone have an exact make of spray...
First track day of 2010, little red clio did well. Only problem was the cv boot clip broke at end of day :( and covered inside the wheel in grease, cable tie sorted it out.
