Good to see the bodywork being appropriately being cared for to your usual high standards ;)

Why can't Renault get any meaningful torque out of this engine? Even with the 'overboost' function (available in 4th and 5th gear only) the 280nm is shy of what the ST produces as standard - and after Mountune MP215 the ST has over 320nm. Compared to the non-overboost 240nm this new more...

+ the all important 'Trophy' embroidered head rests. For me, so long as the 'box is a bit more responsive, I think they've done enough. For the community en masse though I think they've failed.

It is according to Jeremy Townsend on the RS forum. Just after the Clio EDC was released he chipped into a conversation to say that the Trophy brand is reserved for the more dedicated, track focused, versions of their cars. As for the Megane -R being the track brand... that's a Trophy -R is it not?

No Brembos! Shock horror! Has to be power and 'box (and diff hopefully) if its to warrant the hardcore 'track focused' Trophy name. If it's just the name and some sticky tyres it would appear that RS have given up on the UK market. 12 hrs and we'll know for sure :smiley:

Sadly the R.S. in the centre of that wheel will most probably be a dealer chargeable extra and then still come in the wrong colour for the wheels. I hope they have done something proper with the Trophy, all it needs is a small increase in power, a big increase in torque, a manual 'box, and...

Day to day mine's no quicker...but it is easier to drive.

I thought I'd never see you with it running properly LOL

Oops, fixed.

...I was quite surprised by this given the pitlane at Goodwood had just had a fresh sprinkling of drizzle. A couple of quicker gear changes and with solid traction all the way through 2nd I should better Lord 'arris' figure of 15.4.

Look at what they've recently done with Megane and the Trophy/R versions. Jeremy separately has confirmed that the 'Trophy' moniker was to be reserved for the hardcore models only. They've done it with the Megane, it's the Clio's turn next...so given what they did to the Megane it should be...

The diff accounting for that margin makes sense to me. If it's the West circuit there's loads of places an LSD equipped car would just rip away from the ST. Impressive for the 208 GTi though!

Nice...but thread disappoints on so many levels. It promised so much too.

Exactly this. I repositioned my front and rear stuck on mounts yesterday and changed over to 'No More Nails' double sided tape. Stuck directly to the glass there's no chance they're ever coming off unless I want them to.

4WD AWD FWD There's no lieing [sic] going on.

I predict colour, stickers, manual 'box, Nismo-ish power. Should be good.

I can vouch for these too. Had one for six years now, bought from eBay for £45, for trackday use and occasional wheel removal/swapping at the weekend it's been faultless. I actually used it to swap my wheels around yesterday and was thinking what a great but of kit it was.

Colour? Pics? Spec? Enjoy!

Whoa. Threads like this make me feel warm inside.

Also consider the G1WH, my review of it... http://www.cliosport.net/threads/g1wh-dashboard-camera-review.747884/ I have two, front and rear, they're now £41 delivered including a suction and a clamp mount along with a 16gb SD card. I've been running mine now for 9 months and, left permanently...

I've always heeded running in advice, my 172 Cup was very strong compared to others, the ST is the same as all the rest. It doesn't do any harm...and I enjoy building it up, getting miles on it, anticipating being able to absolutely wring it's neck.

Same for me on my N5.

That's pad material transferred to the disc surface, not from overheating...but from how pads are meant to work best. Why do drag racers lay down rubber at the start line? Aside from heating their tyres up they're creating a rubber surface for their tyres to bite into. Rubber grips rubber...

Oooh

It had its first trackday.

It's soon to be two years since I started this thread, I'm a third of the way into my planned five year ownership, and at 31,000 miles it's holding together well. Haven't driven it much recently due to my neck surgery...the hard ride is very tough compared to the Scenic. Haven't cleaned it...

This was me using cheap nasty Demon snow foam...I've not filmed a session with Magifoam but the foam thickness and how long it clings is night and day different. With a good foam solution the Karcher lance works more than well enough...

Wow. Wow. F*** me. Wow.

Did @Goodj not accept in an earlier post that a pricier lance is better than the more basic standard Karcher lance? Your post seems to be arguing about exactly how much better the pricier one may be? Which is wholly subjective, no? ...and that makes him a 'sad little troll'? LOL

I'm exactly one of the people he described so, yes, we do exist...and guess what...the Karcher lance works fine for me too. It produces a clingy foam, clingy enough to hang on long enough to soften and loosen what's caked onto the car...and as @Goodj says, it's all about what 'foam' you use...
