First post - is this the right place!?!??!

[chiefsilverback]

I couldn't see a 'new members'/first post area so I figured I'd say "Hi" in here!!

I've just joined the Renault Sport would by switching from a SEAT Leon Cupra R to a Clio Trophy!!

I drove past my local Renault dealership yesterday, and they had a Trophy on the forecourt, so I went up there at 10am today, test drove it and put my deposit down!!!

I should hopefully be picking it up either tomorrow or Tuesday!!!!

So there we are, hello everyone, and let the Trophy fun begin!!!

Nice one mate. Welcome to ClioSport.

There's a lot on here who really like the Seat, but for out and out grin factor I think the Clio has it licked.

Enjoy the new motor.

Thanks Lee.

I've had LCRs for 15 months and it was too good an offer to refuse!

A couple of friends drive 172s and I think they may be a little jealous now!?!?!

Once I've got it on the drive I'll make sure I get it's number on my details....

Get over to www.cliotrophy.co.uk also and add yourself to the list on there. I think they are now up to 100 registered Trophy owners.

I expect to see you at some track days this year too. Worth checking the ones Renault Sport run, as well as the ones on here.

[rcp]

Welcome. Nice choice and enjoy.

 

[chiefsilverback]

make sure they put your splitter on the trophy!!

Thanks for all the welcomes guys/girls(?), now for my first question, what splitter?

 

[gazcaddy]

Nice choice mate and welcome to cliosport, what made you swap from the LCR? as some would say its a step down, just curious

 

[chiefsilverback]

I've had an LCR for 15 months and I just happened to see the Trophy on the forecourt as I drove past on Saturday morning. I took it for a test drive on Sunday and they offered me quite a good deal, so I went for it.

It's definately a step down in physical size and raw power, but the power to weight ratios are very similar (LCR - 161BHP/tonne, Trophy 169BHP/tonne), and the Trophy has far better handling.

Also, I had to find out what evo et all are raving about....

Cool, when it comes to fun the 182 has the LCR beaten hand down, hope you enjoy it
