When were the belts changed (date and mileage) and have the Sachs ever been refurbished or are they working perfectly and always have?

He was a no-show. Out of 8 cars that did make it, 3 were capsicum red.

I'd speak to Mike (Woodford) - he has been Stone Automotive's mapper of choice for quite a few years and has extensive knowledge of the RS2. He also worked with Chip and Dan to get Dan's RS2 with 197 cams over the 200bhp barrier. That is if you can get hold of him ;) If you can I'm sure he'll...

There is a school of thought that rear speakers are for the benefit of rear passengers. For maximum driver enjoyment you should focus on front (component) speakers, an amp and a sub and ignore rears. Don't know how true it is but it certainly works for me.

Please, can nobody else post in this thread. As has been said, let's try and keep all discussions in a single place, which will help future searches rather than returning a multitude of near-identical threads. I wonder if this thread can be deleted and the posts transferred to THE Sachs...

And you've changed your duvet cover ;)

In my experience the very best option for a daily is Eibach Sportlines. They're much more forgiving than original springs and/or Cooksports. Not enough lowz though ;)

Personally I think Mark Fish springs look superb, but I've not tried them. Sportlines are the best performing spring I've used, but I was happy to make some (very minor) compromise and currently use Cooksports.

Welcome to Trophy ownership!

Mike now works for South West Trains so he's no longer a full-time specialist, but mine was with him a few weeks back for the 15th+ time in 4 years (out of choice rather than necessity). His number is 07985 266 042. Give him a call, he's one of the good guys. He operates from the Staines area.

Couldn't agree more Mike

I bet you a Snickers you're not ;)

I definitely wouldn't limit myself to looking at just a 182 Cup, I'd also consider a regular 182 with both Cup packs specced from the factory. At the end of the day if you really want a Trophy and you settle for a regular 182 it'll be a great introduction into Renaultsport ownership, but you...

Yellow wing mirrors next? ;) I quite like it, and a yellow RARB would look class. Looking forward to seeing some pictures of the strut brace fitted.

At the end of the day there is an opinion that four pots on an N/A 1*2 are overkill. Personally, if I had the money I probably would, but it does go against keeping the car standard. If a buyer wants a standard car and an identical one to yours is up for sale but without the 'upgraded' brakes...

Black or silver for me

On top of those figures there are at least a handful that have made their way to continental Europe, plus a few track-only Trophys. It's an interesting ballpark figure though.

It just seems to be expense after expense with these cars! Maybe those people who buy them then don't drive them at all are onto a winner... except you have to buy another car to actually drive, and enjoy! Good luck getting it all sorted.

Hmmm. In that case I wonder if it's worth taking a hit on the sale price and leave it to the new buyer to select a specialist of their choosing. It would be much better if they were done but better done by a specialist than a generic local garage, in my opinion. Good luck, whichever way you...

A chap on the Clio Sport Owners Club Facebook group works at ECP in Newark and apparently offers discounted prices:

Whereabouts in the country are you and who is your local RenaultSport specialist?

I'll second that - not from personal experience but having read a lot of reviews from Dan's happy customers.

Thank you, and to Gareth too.

Yep, but I'd rather sell a set of nearly new wheels and buy a set brand new, than have mine 'modified'. I guess that's a bit of man-logic there but it just doesn't feel right to refurb pristine wheels.

A couple of pictures...

Does the RSTuner device address cold start / lumpy idle at all? I have a feeling I've read somewhere that it improves both.

Mappers include: Paul at RS Tuning in Leeds Scoff at EFI Parts in Runcorn Mike at Michael Woodford Motorsport in Staines Dan at SJM in Glastonbury K-Tec in Ringwood (nr Bournemouth) I'm sure there are more. Can anyone think of any other people that have plenty of experience mapping F4Rs?

A custom map. Whereabouts in the country are you?

New year, new colour and this summer I fancy anthracite. If I find a buyer for these I'll be buying identical wheels, no question on that front.

In mint condition having only covered a thousand miles since being bought new direct from Speedline. White with red graphics, but they're easily removed if surplus to requirements. Located in Newbury (RG14). Price & delivery negotiable.
