200 cup & 106 GTi
No way i'm messing with the suspension on it, the standard dampers cost more than a few sets of coilovers, they are valved specifically for standard springs which tbh i think are spot on for road use! This is just my daily driver!
I have a specific track car for messing about with...
185bhp, 800kg(ish), cage, R888s, uprated torsion bars, gravel spec front suspension, quaife diff etc etc. Makes a clio 182 seem very pedestrian.

I tried to keep it looking sensible from the outside but under the skin everything has been changed. There is no stereo, there is no heater, no heated rear screen, no screen washer system, all unused wiring removed throughout loom, engine build comes to £8k and it'll happily rev to 9k rpm, a lot of parts are bespoke or very rare! Colour change and new engine spec planned for over the winter before next years track action.
Edit:
I do love the seats too

WTF, people suggesting lowering springs and coilovers! Lol, amazing that people on here haven't heard of a Trophy before.

Very nice
Do i know you? :rasp:

Warren, i was wondering lol
Agreed totally about the back seats, and the front door cards. I am going to be putting leather and alcantara rear seats in and either trimming doorcards or fitting mk2 172 alcantara ones. I have patience so will keep waiting till i find the right bits.

I'm fcuking sorry? That had better be a wind-up.
Sachs remote reservoir dampers and perfectly tuned springs... and you want to slam it.
I love Cliosport.
They have, they just think their mate Dave, a spanner and a set of coilovers can come up with a better setup than Jean Ragnotti. Everyone on here thinks coilovers are gods gift to suspension setup, yet have no idea about spring and damping rates, just as long as the car looks slammed. You know, because you've driven both. The Trophy really is a cut above. :approve:
All these sodding Trophy threads are actually making me start to miss 007 a bit.
I guess it's because I've not seen my car for over a week now.LOL! Agree'd! Piss off!

Haha it's weird how few people have heard of the trophy, sure most people who see my car probably think it's a chav'd up 1.2 clio or something. Doesn't bother me really, i know what the car is and that's what matters
Drove a 197 for 8 laps of the ring in july and quite enjoyed it, was considering a white cup as a daily driver but thought my wallet would prefer a trophy, and then there's the fact the 197 feels slower, suspension is a bit soft although probably better for road, and i broke one of the 197s so my faith in the build on them wasn't great. Maybe get an R27 next up though in a few years.

lol at the coilover comments on the trophy, however the sachs have been made precicely, for the perfect balance between a road dailY driver and track, whereas surely the top end of the range coilovers have been designed specifically for track use and so can only improve the overall handleing. After all, how many track cars do you see on stilts?:quiet:

Coilovers could be better on track, possibly. BUT This is a road only car, i don't intend upon tracking it and i live in the countryside(10 miles to nearest town) and drive 50 miles on mainly B roads every day. As posted earlier in this thread i have a track car that is suitably uncomfy and not that great on the road but immense on track. Best of both worlds.
