:D yeah they did, if you look closely at the wheels you may see a faint outline there, they seem to fade off really quickly. Mine were barelly visible when I got it 2yrs/old.
There was someone selling replacment decals on here, original were painted iirc
Don't know if they sell them seperately Ben. Surely they do.
But yeah new rear Sachs dampers come in a big box with just the damper. Brand new rear cup damper comes in small box with everything needed to replace one (except bottom bolt) :lol:
Not too sure Ben. I know 182 cup dampers come with all the mounts and nuts etc on them. Top mounts are the same as 182 cup (probably all 182's)
Think I've got one rear damper top mount if you need one, and renault can't supply them. Obviously only solves 1/2 your problem :lol:
If you want the rear dampers stiffer one option you mentioned are the Mark Fish re-valed konis. There was recently a group buy over on cliosport.net for whiteline rear antirollbars, but the lead time is 12 weeks iirc. The latter will be my favoured option with standard setup, they way I'm going...
Seeing as I had a nice 11 day weekend, thought I'd tidy up the rear of my Trophy. Heres a quick writeup of what I got up to today
The Number plates had been bugging me for ages (well 4years almost lol) with the large garage logo and border, seeing as they had started to fade aswell decide to...
Had a call this morning from Lookers renault dealership saying my rear sachs dampers have arrived. Hopefully they'll be right ones lol, will post up on tuesday when I go pick them up :)
1. In my case one was weeping oil out of the base of the resevoir. Also it didn't feel right (difficult to tell if you haven't own the car long)
2. If they're not leaking they are most likely ok. Although they could loose gas pressure that might not be evident from visual inspections.
3. It took...
Using bilt-hamber hydrate 80 on the rust then hammerite smooth silver, apparently it's a close match to the original colour, I'll let you know how close on monday :)
Got new springs at home waiting to be fitted once I've painted the dampers. Would have been around £500 but one of the shafts was slightly scored, Ben said he'd cleaned it up but couldn't guarantee how long seals would last then so got new shaft fitted which with delivery pushed it up to £650...
Just got mine back from BG motorsport, awesome service from them. Ben was very friendly and kept me informed on the progress and explained everything they did even down to the fact that the new adjusters are slighly different and that the original settings are at 20 clicks now from soft :)
