Apex=shite. Ride is awful, turns the car into a pogo-stick on bumpy b-roads. Eibach's or coilovers.

Yes mate, but can't get rid of my 172, and I can't have 2 cars! I also want to do some more tuning (cams etc) and strip the car out, use it for track and day to day to use, and I feel stripping the Trophy would ruin it. TBH if the 172 sells 1st, I'll keep the Trophy, it's such a great car.

If I can sell my car(s) I'd take it off you in that condition. I'll be getting a full respray anyway, so wouldn't bother me.

Best car I've ever driven, bar none. The ride is slightly firmer than a 1*2, but more than acceptable. I've had 4 RS Clio's, and touch wood never had any major issues. I wouldn't be selling if I had a choice, but only bought the car about a month ago, stupidly without selling my other car. Can't...

LOL, the plug was mine, the thread is my for sale ad, selling my Trophy (#498) at the moment!!!

There you go mate http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/567356.htm

See my post above bud.

Shameless plug http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=334922 Great cars to drive, blows the vRs into the weeds (I drive my brothers vRs regularly). The major issue to look out for is the condition of the dampers. You'll get people telling you it's £1400 per front corner if they fail...

Aqua wax is good for a quick top up, did mine 3weeks ago, still beading nicely.

Yep, get a mod on the case. Prices are cack at the moment, mines a 53 on 48kmiles and mines up at £5200, no interest.

pics?

Looks good, but I think I'd leave the side strips black to break it up a bit.

Can anyone do me a big favour. Thinking of getting a ph1 172, then getting a respray to viper green with black wheels, anyone able to do a photoshop for me?? Cheers

Nope, the 182cup wheel is a smaller diameter, I thought it was, no got my tape measure out. Can't remember by how much, but def smaller. Can't be the same wheel, as the thumbgrip bracket is part of the 1*2 wheel IIRC.

ABS too, must be ltd edition ;)

182cup wheel is the Dynamique wheel IIRC. Doesn't look as nice, but the smaller diameter and slightly thinner rim make it nicer to use in practice. Plus, as it doesn't have that nasty 'leather that melts', it doesn't get that horrible sticky feeling.

Same wheel bar the buttons. Controversial, but get a 182cup wheel. It's more basic (no thumb grips or fake leather) but it's slightly smaller, and nicer to use IMO.

Current plan. Sell the Trophy and the 172. Buy a ph1 172, ph2 rear end. Coilover's, exhaust, respray (viper green), black 15" f1's. Done.

Would cause vibration on braking though.

Why do people skimp on such important things? It's like any rotating mass, if it's not balanced it will cause vibrations.

As long as your handy with tools, go for a decat for the extra throttle response. But, bear in mind it voids your insurance, so if you have a big prang and they look, you're not covered.

Tell me about it. Tourist looked the wrong way coming out of a junction, drove strainght into my path, hit the side of her car at about 40-45. We were hugely lucky, the guy that took it away said it was the highest speed mini crash he'd seen where the subframe/engine didn't go back into the...

Shouldn't, but I love that.

Awesome fella. Had a mini as my first car. And my first crash, which put me off them for life, but still the most fun I've had driving.

How can it be standard if not from Renault?

+1 As much as I appreciate the effort that goes into the cleaning, just a little bit of effort in taking pics would be nice. It's basically spam to constantly put the same pics up over and over again.

You are THE pic ***** of CS, some variety please, constant exhaust pics are uber boring.

Not that you're biased;)

Looks great. If it had a 182cup style spoiler (not the nasty stick on one you can get), and colour coded door handles, would look perfect IMO.
