drove the new clio trophy yesterday
tons of grip, minimal body roll, very competant car and much improved from the standard 200t IMO
the gearbox is still horrible though IMO
well, the problem was that it's near impossible to remove the existing gearknob!
I had to hacksaw it apart to get the b*****d thing off!
but it was easy to fit once it'd been removed :)
current spec + pics:
Brakes:
Clio 197 front 4 pot 300mm brembos

the rs4-2's warped the discs, the standard ones were crap and the 2500's...

This is a question very much on my mind at the moment.
Putting some Cooksports on the Trophy next week, which runs on RSR's on track.
Thinking about starting with -2.5 degrees camber on the front and leaving the rears as they are (at around -1.5 degrees)
Maybe a small amount of toe out (5...
