I had my 1.2 for 3 years, it was my first car and I'm really sad to see it go:

I had put a deposit down on this the week before FCS, but wanted to go to FCS in my 1.2 for one last hurrah!

So from one Capsicum to another:

Trophy #56.

Finding it very different at the moment, got a few issues that are playing on my mind but all should be sorted soon.
It needs a very good detail, passenger side front damper refurbing as it looks to have pissed out oil. I'll most likely be keeping this standard and making it into a good example.

 

[Mike...]

Wow some step up! Enjoy it mate!

 

[Stu-]

Nice upgrade fella !

 

[Knuckles]

What was the insurance change like? If you don't mind me asking?

 

[Jimbo_M]

Looks like a decent trophy dude nice one! Always sad to see the back of your first car though

 

[Gally]

Great upgrade mate!

Hero machine imo.

 

[TheEvilGiraffe]

Nice upgrade !

I bet 90% of your friends/family won't even notice the difference as they're both 'red'.

 

[Jon.G]

I'll PM you.

Yeah, I'm glad it was an epic car (to me) and I got it where I wanted it to be! I've literally got thousands of photo's so I can reminisce any time.

Nice upgrade !

Pretty much hit the nail on the head. My dad said, oh its got different seats a bigger spoiler and two exhuast's. Neighbours havn't noticed yet either, It'll be even stranger when I get my private reg put on!

Welcome to the fold <3

Get both dampers done at the same time, and get them unpinned too!

 

[Jon.G]

Yeah I will be doing. Although if I get them unpinned I'll end up lowering it stupid amounts because I cant deal with arch gaps. You had yours done?

 

[Wick]

Both lovely cars

 

[Feirny]

Not yet, was meant to be having it done this month, but cambelt got jealous.

Get a set or Sportlines in it and be done.

Yeah I heard it went ping. Bad times. It's another thing on my list of things to do eventually, cam belt, aux belt, water pump, dephaser. Its had a cambelt change on time, just want it doing again sometime for peace of mind.

 

[Feirny]

Yeah I would, then take it to some B roads.

 

[.Andy.]

Upgrade and a half! Good job mate, Enjoy and welcome to the sport side

 

[leewxm]

i was lucky enough to get a close up of your old car at the "big chester meet" & it was mint...like the trophy & probably see it if you're at any meets

 

[Hixle]

Nice one Jon, I saw your 'car' text under your avatar before and did wonder. Excellent upgrade.

If your last clio's anything to go by this will be a minter.

Have you got Eibach's on yours Greg?

Really does mean a lot to me that guys.

Yeah, I changed the car before FCS. One or two people said about it at FCS because I was being secretive about it on FB. Then started blurting it out as I'd got too excited!

 

[toomer]

Great upgrade mate, you told me at FCS when we were chatting about your mint 1.2. As said already, this will be awesome!

 

[Feirny]

Have you got Eibach's on yours Greg?

Not yet, they're sat here though.

 

[Brookie.]

Nice upgrade man!

 

[harribo66]

great upgade mate! i hope to be doing an upgrade similar, in the next year or so! :rasp:

 

[Harpham]

Very nice upgrade mate. Just spotted the photos on your facebook

 

[Y7 ADW]

Both cars are mint. I so want a Trophy next!

 

[Dunn]

Nice change

Will look good after a proper detail

 

[Vicky.]

Excellent upgrade choice Jon! Will be sad to see the 1.2 disappear but a very nice replacement .

 

[Wests Renault]

Loved your 1.2 . Enjoy the trophy

 

[Beef-Mc]

Looking good, still want one of these. Make sure to get yourself registed on cliotrophy.

 

[Rudi]

exact same upgrade i did 4 years ago:approve:

 

[Chris205]

Trophy + Eibach Sportlines + Whiteline Rear ARB = nothing better IMO

 

[Cerrone]

I went from my 1st car a black 1.2 which I loved to a RB Full fat 182!! And I love it! Just take it easyvtill u get used to the change!!

 

[Revels]

Am I allowed to say I prefer your 1.2?

 

[Jon.G]

Yes!

I'm really missing my 1.2.

Having quite a few issues with the T. Ended up sheering a wheel bolt off in the hub today whilst trying to resolve a knocking noise from the suspension.

 

[kerry-w]

Nice upgrade love the colour choice

 

[Bren Rogers]

Look forward to taking a look at this next time I see you out and about... quite an upgrade.

 

[Christopher]

Great upgrade mate!

See you at the next meet for a nosey.

 

[HartZ]

Love both of your cars mate, saw your old one at FCS and it looked very tidy!

 

[Pete.M]

Yes!

Ah finally, I've been waiting to for you to post about your new car, Oli mentioned you had a new car and photos on facebook. I am surprised I don't see you about in the car more given that we live so close!

1 photo though Jon... Poor show! Get more up!!!

Bad news on the wheel nut, have you got it out yet or is it not possible? If you need I have a pair of hubs off a 172 - not sure if they are the same.

I havn't taken many of it yet, not even cleaned it. I'm arguing with the garage and MOT centre at the moment about the wheel nut and a couple of niggles. When the weather stops being so dire and get everything out the way what with uni and work etc I'll be getting this one mint. Going to take some time but hopefully it wont cost me an arm and leg.

Don't think they are the same hubs, The trophy has the same hubs as a 182 cup IIRC.

You may want to go on the Clio Trophy forum. I think there is some useful information on no. 56 on there from past owners.
