Leeroy's Clio 182 Trophy 25/500

[leeroybrown]

Lets just cut straight to the chase

I have wanted this model ever since it was released in 2005.

Just got back from collecting and without doubt its the best handling car I have ever owned, its pure epic!

Spec list/info and more pics to follow, once I have had some food and a shower, its been a long day!

 

[Gaz_]

WTF??, I thought Joe was buying this?

Lovely btw

 

[leeroybrown]

I will let JP explain that one buddy, but your right its mint Even my Grandma was smiling on the way home lol

 

[Gaz_]

Fair play, i'd love one.

It is mint, even though i'd feel iffy over the timing, but thats just me :/

 

[leeroybrown]

Drives spot on and pull's well pal

 

[Hodgins]

if anything were to happen to my LY (touch wood it doesnt)
A trophy would be my replacement

looks immaculate

 

[Jimbo_M]

Like i said on saxp dude it looks like a nice example (which is becoming rarer all the time) and i even miss my bro's T.

Look forward to seeing it in the flesh.

Enjoy it dude!...and let me know if you want that number for the belts

 

[Sir_Dave]

Looks great - makes me want to clean mine & buy some more Recaro's...

Maybe I will listen next time sunshine lol, you should be ashamed to have a dirty trophy you southern monkey

Pah I have Megane Trophy over a year Jason.

 

[ashwrx]

thats stunning

 

[leeds_182]

Nice.

 

[Bobby.]

Good stuff, I love a clean T. What's all these whispers about timing :/

 

[Conlon]

why the change Lee? bored of the megane?

 

[leeroybrown]

Yeah kinda Nikki son, not as fun as an agile trophy

 

[leeroybrown]

Little update

Had the car a week now and I must its fringing awesome to drive, during the daylight the car gets a good bit of attention due to its stance and bright red colour ( I assume).

The suspension is so confidence inspiring its rather dangerous ha ha, its very egger, agile and would I dare say pin sharp! You point it and it goes, its bloody marvellous.

Only thing its lacking at present is a decent noise coming from the rear, so when eventually the standard exhausts rots (and it will) I will be on the hunt for something decent.

 

[Chris205]

Knew you'd like it Lee, will meet up with you next week sometime when I've got the cup back on the road.

 

[leeroybrown]

Or its good, Evo's struggled on the corners at the weekend

 

[Chris205]

Thought they would mate, my old one would easily out handle johnny's evo 5.

Once you get the whiteline anti-roll bar on you'll realise how exploitable the trophy chassis is

 

[leeroybrown]

I honest dont think I need it, suspension set up at present is class, back end is mega planted, you will see once we meet up.

 

[Chris205]

Lol you need to try one mate honestly, you know it makes sense

 

[leeroybrown]

You need to see how well its planted pal

 

[Feirny]

You need to see how well its planted pal

I thought that, then added an ARB. Infinitely better.

Welcome to the elite.

 

[Hixle]

Looks lovely mate! Really need to give mine a clean after seeing this.

I need to try an ARB too.

I think someone told you that yesterday...

 

[leeroybrown]

Gally I need some Prima stuff I think, stuff your ranting and raving about lol

 

[Chris205]

lol I had the same set up leeroy with an ARB

 

[Gally]

So do everyone in the world by the bloody looks of it! I'm lucky enough to have a friend who bought a few bottles before xmas.

Unpin'd dampers, Mark fish Springs, koin revalved rears and camber adjusted, you had that?

Can you not source me a bottle>?

 

[jordan101]

lovely mate would love a trophy however budget doesnt strecth anywhere near it with wedding funds.

 

[Chris205]

<BR><BR>Didnt have unpinned dampers but everything else, how stiff the front is wont have a big effect on the rear anyway unless its super stiff.<BR><BR>Try the whiteline, you wont be disapointed, I've had 3 of them

 

[Hixle]

Does the MF setup make that much of a difference? Hmmm.

 

[Chris205]

Whiteline makes the most difference on any Clio, including the trophy, trust me

 

[leeroybrown]

You need a go of proper Mark Fish set up Chris

 

[Hixle]

You two make me want to go and spend money.

Birthday next week, may treat myself to an ARB.

 

[Chris205]

Eibach sportlines are apparently very similar anyhow. You will realise I know best when you bolt the whiteline on and take your first roundabout

 

[T.Trophy]

There's only two mods worth doing to a trophy, a whiteline ARB and a GT28RS

 

[leeroybrown]

Steve! We aint all robbed a bank lol

 

[Sir_Dave]

You two make me want to go and spend money.

Same. Think i'm gonna buy some rear koni's now .... havent driven the T for a couple of weeks and i'm starting to miss it
