Picked up the trophy today!

[toonboy]

Picked up my trophy today and have been gunning it from square one up to the limiter. I have to say this car knocks spots of the clio 172 cup i used to have. It is significantly better. The steering does not give as much feedback and is maybe a little bit more vague but overall the trophy goes over the bumps soooo much better that i am glad i got rid of the 172 cup when i did. The trophy also seems faster and feels as if the rev limit is higher as i dont seem to have hit it by mistake yet and i always did in the cup. I cant believe how cheap this car is all considering how good it is. Dont think there will be many left soon.

have not taken any yet! the trophy also seems to remain so flat when cornering compared to the cup 172, there is just no body roll like its defying the laws of physics.

pah those that say run their cars in should be quiet

18k miles in my last clio, redlined from new, although allowed to warm up every time, and not one mechanical issue

its up to the owner how the car is run in, but IMHO the days of having to run engines in are long gone

Engines are far advanced now not hand built anymore,but a few hundred mile on it first would help even one of the renault tuners will tell you that,18k thrashed miles isnt alot but the engine wont last as long
