2005 (55) Renaultsport Clio 182 Trophy. I am the second owner of the car, which I purchased at 19,500 miles. Currently just gone past 40,000 Miles. The car has been very reliable throughout its life and has been a pleasure to own. I drive the Trophy most days and always make sure the engine...

Hi Guys, Not sure if this is the correct term, boot strut or the damper that holds up the tailgate? But they need replacing on my Trophy as now they cant hold up the boot at all. Wondered if anyone had a part number for these, as I know they are shorter to accommodate the V6 spoiler? Any idea...

Hi there, I recently bought myself a 2002 Clio 172, and it seems to have a bit of a problem with condensation. It seems to get quite steamed up in there, and takes longer than I would expect to clear even with the fans on max. From what I have read, and a bit of common sense, I think that the...

A suitable upgrade for the track orientated Trophy owner or just any road driver that wants the extra adjustability these dampers offer. These are the Sportline II's not the cheaper sportline I's that most people fit, the main difference is the 45mm diameter front piston, enables more precise...

Just recently my T has started making a few knocks and bangs, I have (what sounds like) the exhaust banging against the bumper when I go over any uneven road surface - but I don't think it is this due to the exhaust not moving much when you push it. Will have to investigate more! But I was...

I can think of 100 reasons why I love winter, in alot of ways its my favourite season. I love the cold, crisp, early mornings, I love paddling the calm waters of the Lakes in a canoe, I love climbing the snow topped mountains at the crack of dawn armed with an ice pick and crampons, I love the...

After the credit crunch slump its nice to see a good selection of Trophy's back up at the £8k mark. I'm just waiting for the 197 values to drop below! To put a smile on my face. :D This is from a man who had an E30 M3 when it was worth less than an E36 & E46 M3. Maybe I should have kept that...

Thy hallowed day will be Thursday 19th November. He will be removing and refitting too. Apparently the quickest turn around he can do is the following afternoon, as he has to spray loctite over it and let it sit overnight. I'm having new adjusters too, as when the pin is removed, the shaft the...

I'm currently having my dampers refurbished and had a snapped spring so I'm looking at getting some alternatives as replacements from Renault are a shocking price. I was recommended the Sportline Springs by Yozzasport but some other people think they will lower the car by up to 50mm?! Has...

Curiosity got the better of me so I decided to strip down my spare damper to see the inner workings and also see if I could find out why it had gone ‘soft’. I really had no idea what to expect as ive never seen the insides of a Remote Reservoir Damper before but I did have a picture in my head...

Anyone know what the coulour of the standard springs were for the trophy when they were new? cheers phillip

Afternoon chaps, After taking the motor out for a spin this afternoon, i noticed after, a squeaking noise coming from what sounds like the steering rack etc... leading down to the wheels. Almost like the same creaking noise as when a bed goes. I then stopped, and turned the wheel when i was...

Two cracking results for Renault, Trophy came joint 7th with Ferrari F50 and R26.R 4th! One bug-bear i have though is they talk about a 'layer of squidge' in the Trophy's suspension leading to it not feeling very honed and taught, and i quote 'ooldes of pitch and roll'... WTF!! I put it to them...

literally just de-pinned 264, while im putting it back together can people tell me... how many clicks are factory how many is advised for road use and how many for track .... and anything else. thanks guys

Has anyone fitted 182 Cup Shocks to a Trophy while they have been getting there refurbished? Does andone know the part numbers for these?

PLEASE Don't hate me for asking this BUT.........I am wanting to get my dampers serviced as I have gone passed the 36k mark long ago! But also while doing this I would like to get new dampers on the rear (koni) and also get some Mark Fish springs. How much would I be looking at spending to get...

Some years ago, Paddy married an attractive woman, Maggie, half his age, in a small coastal Irish community. After several months, Maggie complained that she had never climaxed during sex and according to her Grandmother all Irish women are entitled to a climax once in a while.. So, to resolve...

I have a week of work soon, so I was thinking of getting the front dampers refurbished. However, having seen a new suspension setup on another car (more in a minute), I want to do some suspension mods at the same time. Ok, in my opinion, The car is far too soft, more so at the rear. This is...

Short story, my clio has bankrupt me and i need to fix it before i sell it in order to sort out my finances. Damn i miss driving it though, this is the first time i've not driven it for more than 2 days since i got it 13k miles ago :( Long story: I loved trophies when they were released but was...

Hello all, My Recaros have always needed a bit of a whack to get the back down after they have been tipped forward to let someone in or out of th eback seats, but this morning I was trying to get the passenger seat back and when it finally went I realised that the seat is now loose on the rails...

Should the manifold to cat connection have a nut on either side of the spring thing? This is what I mean Am I missing anything? reason being i'm trying to sort a metallic rattle when accelerating hard out.. I think its exhaust related but just trying to narrow it down :(

interested in changing my rear,s on my T ?

Has anyone had problems with the paint on the trophy fading due to the sun, ?

I noticed my top mounts are not sitting right today. They were fine when I removed the Solid Top mounts a while back and since then I have had a camber adjustment, maybe this has caused it ? They are fully tightened ! Note: They do not even touch the Turrent !!! :shock: Any ideas...? ...

Well the day arrived today where I px'ed 193 against my new shiny toy. Sorry to see the little fella go but hopefully the next person to buy it will get as much enjoyment out of it as I have. Can a mod sort out the changing to former owner. Anyway, onwards and upwards literally... Here is the...

I'm going to lower the CoG and stiffen up the car and it seems Mark Fish is recommended as the best supplier of new springs for the trophy. Can anyone tell me what options he offers and the prices, i gather a few on here already have them fitted. I've tried emailing him twice this week but so...

I recently saw a few people on here saying that, now the weather is warmer, they have adjusted their dampers to a stiffer setting. I was puzzled by this. Well, maybe sceptical is the word. I could see that it would improve the T's handling, but I thought that it would feel harsh and be a...

Hi fella's I know this has been covered many times but does anyone have any clear pictures of the thumb wheel preferably with it removed if not any close ups would be good. Also the strut top mount bearings, how much if any play should there be in them as the ones on mine look like they have...
