    Barn Find ? 31k Trophy on EBay

    It’s epic it’s got to this price within a day. Anyone managed to get a response from the seller of the car yet on eBay? Trying to understand if it’s their car they’re selling as it would be great to understand the history etc..

    Clio Trophy - One owner, 29k, yours for £23,000 of your finest British pounds sir.

    That's ultimately like saying you would be disappointed that your pension pot / investment portfolio is increasing in value? That's how I see it, feel free to educate me if i'm not understanding their point of view :) Mine hasn't been bought for investment purposes and I use it no matter the...

    They're new shocks from Renault, not from a different car. Completely built ready to fit with genuine Trophy Eibach springs!

    Clio Trophy - One owner, 29k, yours for £23,000 of your finest British pounds sir.

    I'm always happy to! Often I find it important to help people understand the behind the scenes of the business. I'd hate for people to think I'm a generic car dealer and not an enthusiast who sells cars! Also, if anyone is local in Kent and want's to pop by and see our stock and see the...

    Clio Trophy - One owner, 29k, yours for £23,000 of your finest British pounds sir.

    Hello everyone, just thought as I run Pitlane Performance i'd respond to a few bits on here! Glad to see the majority of people see the potential of Hot Hatchbacks, interesting to see some people not enjoying the rise in value of these cars even though they own them! But there we are, everyone...

    Car Throttle 1*2 Project Car Coming Soon.

    The Trophy in the video has had one owner in the last 10 years! Full Renault history & is in total original form from factory. I bought it and put it in my garage to spend a bit of money on once I had sorted my other projects. 2 months later they contacted me about a video with it & totally...

    Sam's BG 182 Project

    So the Clio is pretty much done for the meantime! Just fitted EPAS as well. Found that no pas at all was extremely heavy to use. Had the car corner weighted and aligned before its trackday on Tuesday. The car Weighs 964KG with 1/2 Tank. Some photos Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Who's using Gaz GHA coilovers? What damping are you using?

    I took the helper springs out the rear.. it stopped the rattling / clanging. Looking to order new spring rates tonight. Does anyone know the front and rear spring sizes on the Gaz GHA's?? Was going to remove the springs tonight and measure them but plans have changed :(!

    Sam's Clio 172 Cup Daily Project

    I feel the same way! I turned a lovely 182 with immaculate interior into a track car [emoji23] They are getting a lot rarer. Especially in standard form. It will be kept OEM. I may change a few little bits but nothing too major. It will be nice to clean it up! Hello, I bought my last coolant...

    race car abs removal

    Ahh right, no worries. I probably will end up making up the braided lines and running them through the interior via bias valve and hydraulic handbrake. Would be a lot easier buying them already made ready to fit!

    Sam's Clio 172 Cup Daily Project

    Thanks, The cleanest part is the interior.. It is crazy how clean it has been kept. Got a few little bits that need attention but nothing major :smile: Going to replace the coolant bottle and flush the Coolant system at the same time! Made such a nice visual difference in the engine bay on my 182.

    Sam's Clio 172 Cup Daily Project

    Thank you, I'm extremely happy with it. Over this month I will be doing the typical Clio aesthetic mods, 3/4 Front plate, Silvertec Indicator bulbs etc.. I would like the engine bay immaculate. So will spend a lot of time there. At the end of the day I have my track car project which is where...

    Sam's Clio 172 Cup Daily Project

    After turning my Black Gold Clio 182 into a track car (which is not practical on the road) I was on the hunt for a new daily. On Halloween I saw a post on the Clio Sport Facebook page with a 'particularly' clean 172 cup.. As soon as I saw it I knew that I was going to buy it. Travelled up to...

    Sam's BG 182 Project

    Brand new Renault non power steering rack arrived today! Going to run it without epas initially to see how it drives. If it's not too great I shall just do the conversion. Managed to drop the subframe with all the suspension/brakes/wishbones/arb at the same time. Going to most of it...

    Sam's BG 182 Project

    So its been 5 months since my last update.. Never planned on being this long since updating my "project". Luckily I have now been able to take the Clio off the road. So the decision has been made, which is that I am going to make it an ultimate track toy for myself. Since the last update I...

    Speedometer issues. Not the usual!!!

    But nothing works? Fuel gauge, temperature gauge, Rev or speedo. It's really odd! Tried pretty much everything with no luck :(

    Speedometer issues. Not the usual!!!

    Hi there, the other day I bump started my Clio as my starter motor has given up. When we bumped it the speedometer just died and hasn't worked since. It still lights up at night, but the needles do not move and the mileage doesn't show and stays blank. Anyone had this? I'm stumped!
