Trophy 147

[JamesT87]

Hi all,

I purchased his Clio trophy from Steve at R-Sport cars. As soon as I had driven it and the reputation Steve has created on the CS forum I knew that this was the car although it wasnt perfect mainly because it was factory spec. 6 months down the line and I have dialed out a fair few of the little niggles however there are a few parts I wish to purchase and fit before the ring trip in June.

Spec as it stands
Engine
Standard Trophy Spec
Genuine HKS air filter
Mandrel 90degree bend + samco 90dgree bend
JMS remap + Pops and Bangs
Ktec Ultra Exhaust
Ktec Baffled Decat
GMC Lambda Sleeve

Brakes
Brembo HC discs
DS2500 Pads
5.1 Fluid

Suspension
Standard Trophy Sachs dampers unpinned
Eibach Proline springs
AST Top Mounts
Eibach Camber bolts
Geo by RAT developments

Styling
Yellow Foglights
Ktec Carbon Splitter
Ktec Exhaust Surrounds
Streamline Carbon Number plates

So far I am very happy with it and it handles a treat however it still isnt perfect, so intend on doing the following:
Future Additions
RD Wheel Studs
Blox Racing Chromoly Lug Nuts
JMS Spacers
Ktec Rear toe / Camber shims
Whiteline ARB
Polybushings
Rear Bearing Kit
Nardi deep dish steering wheel
Takata Harness
1 Bride or Recaro SPG seat + Recaro Rail
MSV Bolt In Cage + Harness Bar in Capsicum red
888's

Possible if a set of front dampers come up cheap conversion to a coilover spring 2.5 ID

Some pictures of how it stands after a hella clean today!

Looks great mate.

Not a fan off the yellow fogs, bit of a colour clash, have you considered led fog bulbs?

 

[Bramley]

what air intake is that mate?

 

[Soulless]

I remember that Saxo! Didnt you sell it for the Honda?

I did lol. I got bored with the stance game and decided to go back to having a car that could take a corner quicker than 30mph lol.

Were you on the saxosportsclub?

 

[Davis]

trophy looks great and a good spec.

Not keen on the yellow fogs though
Im also going to the ring in june!

 

[JamesT87]

[ch!ppen]

Ah, i remember you lol. Met you at a SaxP meet once iirc?

Car looks tasty, not a fan of the fog's though!

 

[leewxm]

[Chris205]

how does the handling feel with the sportlines fitted mate? Have you thought of upgrading the rear shocks to fully adjustable?

Sounds a similar spec to what mine will be apart from mine is a bit more of a luxury car inside

p.s I also remember the saxo, think I wanted to buy the tailgate off it at one point when you were busting it

 

[Chris205]

Also have you got any side on pics just so I can guage the drop from the eibach springs

There the prolines mate so hardly a drop over standard. It has got more of an aggressive stance so I would envisage around a 10mm drop? good upgrade though!
I will be going for the MF koni shocks at some point chap.

Its a HKS mushroom Evo filter with a hard pipe bend, samco bend and a alu heatshield

 

[paulmcmillen]

Nice trophy, only thing I'm not sure on are the number plates...

Nice coupe too, BYS front bumper?

How do you find it compared to standard air box?

 

[Keith185]

Looks awesome.

Love the yellow fogs and black details

 

[JamesT87]

It has free'd it up no end up top however some of the low down grunt will have been lost. It is worth it for the sound alone.
