I remember the days of Roland at GT Tuning, i think they held the 1/4 mile record at one point.

Did you buy the mats with the red piping on the edges?

Awesome thread, when I saw an X85 Cup shell in the classifieds my immediate thought was to Meg engine it. Would love to do this, top work Russ.

Just out of interest do you fill up with a particular brand of fuel or just go for the higher octane (98-99Ron) Sounds well on the launch control vid :cool:

Pretty sure they're now Engine Dynamics. BB Tuning were known back in the days for working on R5 GT turbos. They're the same people.

I have the OE Dunlop Sport Maxx RT tyres on my 200T and to be fair on a recent trackday in France was pleasantly surprised how well they performed in the damp to wet conditions. I think the chassis helped too but the tyres felt grippy when putting the power going through the long corners and...

I did yes, they spoke to the technicians and others and said that if it's not ticked on the options from new then it doesn't have the loom and software. The costs involved to then retrofit becomes too much.

Are you referring to the pre facelift Trophy?

I looked into have the RS Monitor retrofitted at Renault and its not possible

Good call on the silver, I think the anthracite with the style of the wheel would be lost in the darker Mondial colour.

They're such a cool wheel, with the right drop.

Maybe he spent the first night sleeping in it, must be amazing to have that new car feeling. The buzz of ordering, waiting, then finally picking it up.

Quite refreshing to see what looks like a standard 16V with turbines on, awesome.

While in France it's rude not to visit Circuit de Reims, an amazing slice of motorsport history

Had a long weekend in France between last Friday and Monday, in between that was an organised trackday with a club called Picardie Renault Sport in the Saturday. Just a few photos of some of the cars at the show

Maybe, the facelift ECUs are apparently heavily encrypted. The pre facelift 220 Trophy still hasn't been broken in yet

Renault quoted me £1290, the parts guy I go to is trying to sort out the silver ones

It's an option but one near the bottom of the list. It would have to be minimal, like adding 0.5 or something. I don't know what that equates to in terms of wheel tuck but yeah ideally I'd like to keep it as std in looks as possible.

At the top I'd say it's in by approx 15mm, my concern is the radius of the wing to front bumper falls away to expose the tyre tread.

There's more to play with, not much though. The 8J ET48 JUST about works, literally. It's the rear I'm having mares with, I'll take a photo of the front.

@NorthloopCup I took a photo of the rear wheel and arch, bar getting a tape measure I think it shows how close it already is with the ET55 and 7.5J. An 8J instantly pushes it out 12.5mm

The facelift models can't be mapped...

Typical, I'll be in France this weekend :smile:

Same as mine but diamond cut, I want something different. Also the white Trophys already look outdated compared to the Liquid Yellow 220 facelift IMO.

R26 is Mk2, which means 5x108

Was an amazing Clio to own, better when I supercharged it. I miss all the Clios I've worked on

It sits outside of the wheelarch and will rub. I don't want a car that looks like it's had the wheels 'spacered' big time. Either flush or literally just inside.
