To go full circle, I've just today refitted the refurbished Sachs dampers. Given I've been driving on the cup dampers and springs for a while now I feel like I can give my input, albeit I've only had a short drive on the fresh Sachs I know the roads well and was pushing on. A 20 minute blast...

Very slow, from max to min on the expansion tank in around 1600 miles. Recently replaced the cap with an original Renault one to no avail. Thread here at cliosport- http://www.cliosport.net/threads/182-expansion-tank-cap.809050/ Pressure tested the system with no drop or signs of leaks but the...

Just refitted my springs to the shocks today. Around 75-80cm is the length you want to cut the tubing, this gives you the coverage as in the picture of mine. You'll want a tub of very hot water to soak it in and a penetrating oil of some description. Don't worry if it gets stuck a couple of...

Come to think of it, there are 2 windows. This is an unacceptable oversight on my part.

My girlfriend said the same. I haven't let her out the shed since.

I've just recently bought the tubing mentioned and should be fitting it imminently, you'll need 2 metres- https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00OEZ7R1C/?tag=ctphy-21

If you spent that on a regular 182 to make it into a Trophy you'd still never get close to the same back when selling. I think you'd have to be mental personally.

How much did you get for it? Mine is on a similar mileage and I'm curious as if it's anywhere near the asking price then it's good evidence these really have gone up noticeably in value. It's one thing seeing higher asking prices and another thing what they're actually selling for.

A 'no show' is the height of discourtesy and warrants capital punishment.

I may consider selling mine later this year, if you happen to still be looking around then FYI.

The 3M headlight kit is your friend and a no brainer compared to replacing them.

What pressures do you run at?

I've got cup dampers on mine at the minute, could do a back to back passenger ride in each other's cars if you wanted? I'm in Carnoustie but could meet half way. I'm curious myself to see the difference as I'll be getting Rik to do my dampers in June.

Is that the XL rated PS3's?

I'll be going with Rik too.

I've only ever heard Ruislip mentioned once in my life and it was quite memorable- Back to the car, maybe an idea to stick a fresh MOT on it? Should make it easier to sell, can't hurt anyway.

Quite short in comparison to most, a short journey of 75 miles or so. Unfortunately for me, it was on the weekend of major Forth Road Bridge works that I was unaware of so rather than a 1.5 hour journey it was a 3.5 hour disaster, predominately spent stationary. I've never been so grateful to...

Tend to agree. The sort of person who'll buy this probably misses the entire point of the car in the first place.

I've just sorted mine and for 100% clarification the part number you want for the MM ones is 430719067000. I got mine from Mister Auto-...

V6 must feel like far more of an event. The Trophy is obviously brilliant but you do have to delve deeper for the pay-off.

If, for some highly unlikely reason, the exhaust trim suddenly becomes available again, I'll have them.

Being completely unselfish here, I think you should ;)

I know that first hand, it's what I'm driving at the minute mind. ;) It's whether the Trophy still shines through in road driving alone as the only back to back experience I have between Trophy and Cup (effectively) is with my sachs in need of a refurb.

Was that for road use too where driving isn't as hard? I should have clarified as I don't do track days. I suppose even if I did get them done and didn't notice a big enough difference it'd still be easier to sell the car and recoup the cost vs. selling with the dampers needing done. If it...

The reason I'm asking is my Trophy is on cup springs and dampers at the minute (front) because one of the sachs dampers was leaking slightly and needs a refurb. They were previously done in 2013 by Cornering Force. Now I didn't notice an issue in driving the car hard while on the sachs dampers...

For sure with the fronts but I'm wondering if it'd be worth it if the rears are so similar. Unless our esteemed Rik Perry is putting everyone off the Trophy rears so he can stockpile them and make a killing in years to come...:wink:

Can't leave us in suspense like that!

Glad to hear. How much did you get if you don't mind me asking? Handy to know for reference!

Didn't even realise there were bushes to worry about too, the expense is never ending. What are the going rates for front springs just now? Not sure when I'll get the front shocks refurbed but the springs are a bit rusty and likely original.

Looks like it's best to stick with the ebay link!
