I've been thinking about this Dave. It's hard to advise anything without having a poke at your car. My tensioner is also fairly close to the power steering pump pulley but this is normal, however, my aux tensioner looks to be in a different position to yours, the pully wheel is more inline with...

I was going to look at one in Scotland but I cancelled as the one in Warrington came up. There was one in Surrey that I liked and the guy selling it basically interviewed me on the phone, questioning my knowledge about the Trophy before I was deemed worthy enough to buy it.

I picked mine up from Warrington, not that far from the South of Cumbria, about a 200 mile round trip. It was 2 weeks before my 21st birthday, I waited 2 weeks before insuring it so it would be cheaper, it was a long 2 weeks. 9 years later and I've still got it.

Another happy Trophy owner. I'll take better care of them this time :blush:

I was actually looking around for it today at one point.

It's been bugging me ever since I saw this post and it's not even anything to do with me.

You need to fit an indicator stalk from a non sport model, I forget which one but it has the horn button on the end. You need a boss also.

I have one of the Sabelt RenaultSport wheels fitted, 330mm I think. Absolutely love it.

Love the V6. I tagged along on a V6 meet once. I'll always remember driving through Hawes and seeing a whole crowd of heads turn and watch in awe as 20 or so V6's paraded through the village, followed by 2 Trophy's. Good times.

Yes, a ramp would definitely make it much easier. I did mine before I installed the lift so I just used axle stands and rolled around on the floor which made the job 10x harder. At the time I wished I'd just paid someone to do it but once you've took the old ones off you're pretty much committed.

They're a total pain to fit as the access is very limited. The bracket that clamps over the bush needs to be mechanically clamped so that the securing nut and bolt can be fastened. I had a very small set of G-clamps that I used to clamp it but I also had to use some pipe grips that I could lock...

I'll take them. I'll send you a PM.

My DS2500's are wearing thin. Not sure if I can stretch to RS4-2's, how much are you asking for them?

I fitted Mintex 1155's first of all. They were spot on for spirited road driving, certainly an improvement over OEM and at a reasonable price. I don't recall them being any different when cold, in that they still had plenty of bite, they performed well and most importantly I never suffered any...

That looks really smart. I no longer have any of the original inlet manifold fitted but my cam cover is looking rather dull and could do with the same treatment. I though about doing it when I fitted the timing belt last year but I couldn't be bothered. Now you've made me regret it. Did you...

I only paid £9500 for mine with 19,000 miles. Got myself a bargain back in the day ;-).

The brake pads were the first modification I made to the Trophy. I suffered brake fade whilst descending a long steep hill after a spirited drive through the back roads, I made an immediate decision to change them, along with my underpants. I changed my driving style after that, alongside the...

Bloody hell that's bad luck mate. If you need the use of a workshop or car lift I'll be happy to help you out if you need it. I can set the timing on an F4R no problem. Looks like you have it all in hand though.

Has anyone fitted a new one and can confirm the part number? 7711134267 is the one I've listed in the part number list. http://www.cliotrophy.co.uk/threads/clio-trophy-part-numbers.53897/

A few years back, when I had my dampers serviced for the first time, I noticed a dramatic improvement in handling. The dampers would have only been 4 years old at that point and visually they looked fine. I haven't owned a 182 cup, however, I have been in a few. I always remember doing a track...

So the only thing that's unique about them is the price tag, the lack of bushes and plastic covers. Nice one.

I can't help becoming drawn to the Landy in the picture above. Looks very nice, lovely colour.

I'd imagine that if Renault supplied the rear damper bushes they would be around £20/£30. If you add in the price of the plastic covers then you wouldn't get much change from the £80 you would pay for the cup rear dampers, i guess that would make sense. I just think that the majority of OEM...

My mind can't comprehend buying a set of cup dampers just for the OEM bushes, however, I can appreciate the painstaking task and cost involved for anyone looking to keep it original. May I ask why it's considered necessary for some people to fit OEM bushes? Is it just a matter of keeping...

Yep, they've had a hard life! One give up on life as I was removing it from the damper, bless it.

I bought 2 not long ago. They're brand new Trophy rear Sachs. Nothing wrong with them. The bushes are not included, you will need to source them separately. The rule is that only Trophy owners are allowed to buy them so as to not use up all our stock for future maintenance so that we can keep...

All ready for the RP treatment. I wondered where that knocking sound was coming from.

I'm fitting some new Sachs rear dampers next week. I have off-the-shelf Koni dampers fitted currently but I'm reverting back to Sachs. No particular reason. These will be the 4th set fitted to the car during its life.

I've put the wrong mileage. #266 is on 72k not 79k.

It looks stunning with or without the stripes. The stripes appeal to me because I'm still a spring chicken. I probably wouldn't consider removing them until I reached 40, then I'd start questioning whether or not I'm too old to be driving a Clio with racing stripes. Seriously though, I don't...
