Welcome! Look forward to seeing your new steed!

Exactly this, even with a TCR I also have the same feeling, so that was putting me off looking into it. It's a 290bhp Golf at the end of the day, not far off the R. A friend of mine at work has one and it hasn't been targeted... yet. I feel it's only a matter of time. In that respect, a PP 7.5...

What a great situation to be in @ashtons99 You can’t compare the Golf to the 220 Trophy, though - they are two very different cars. I have test driven the Megane 280 and 300 Trophy, as well as the i30N and are all in the next level of hot hatch compared to the Clio. Until recently I was going to...

That looks absolutely fantastic! Just so you know, a lot of parts Renault have put into their RS Performance shop can be found cheaper by the original manufacturer. If you want the RS logo that's fine and entirely your choice :)

Cheers Ben! I moved from a Mk3 to a 220 Trophy. Taken the Trophy on track plenty, the Mk3 is more fun but flappy paddles is not be sniffed at! The Mk4 has made my driving experience ‘off track’ ten times better though. No more worrying about the ball joints, manifold, road tax, a/c condenser...

Welcome back, glad you're enjoying it!

Sold them to a guy down the road with a pre-facelift Trophy. With not doing any track days this year, and a likely departure it didn't make sense to hold onto them. Were pristine though!

Not yet Nick. I had a buyer lined up and was all looking good till the end of last week. Am waiting for a reply so we'll see.

Good to read a post from you Colin, though sorry for what you’ve been through this year. I’m glad to see you’ll be using the R27 more, and couldn’t agree more with @Cossers reply - quite sobering. Certainly given me something to think about as I hit 40 next year. Great to see a bit of a...

Welcome! Loads of info and owner threads on here to learn from. I’d set aside a week to read up on everything before you make a purchase :tongueout:

Is it the one offset to the left or right of the front grille? If so, they’re not on all of them. Costs about £35 to replace.

I know of a nice 220 Trophy in Glacier White for sale if you miss the colour that much ;)

Was good to meet you Matt, and thanks for taking me out in yours. The Akra is awesome! You drive really well and it is already a great setup you have. Wheels, tyres and coilies and you’ll have an even bigger grin on your face! Just realised how I remembered your plate - I was training at Sage...

Does the car feel flat at all when giving it some beans? Mine had a similar fault, albeit a road version Mk3 200. Turned out to be a faulty dephaser. I remember the Tech looking into it tried the solenoid by removing it and running a current through it. Helped him identify it was indeed the...

Lovely Nick, nice to have all the goodies on there now, should give you peace of mind when hammering it around the Nurburgring! Did you also have the air blades fitted to direct the airflow to the rad? When you say Paul left the AC on, you mean the condenser was left in place? If so, then yeah...

I didn't get anything done last weekend, as some bits weren't arriving in time for Bedford. As I'm only doing one track day this year, I'm going to put the rad and blades up for sale if you're after one still? Still in the bubble wrap, no idea what it looks like!

Unlikely it would fit the Mk3 https://www.renaultpartsdirect.co.uk/parts/accessories/renault-shark-antenna-various-models/

I'd seriously do it if you're taking it on track, you don't really want to back off halfway round the ring for fear of warping the engine if it's a warm day. 3 laps at Donington in the summer sent temps up to 114 degrees and makes me shudder every time I think about it.

Hopefully Sunday Nick, @Big Ben stole all the limelight last time with his Albi nail :P
