    182 steering wheel

    I tried to buy it, ended up reporting the post as they came across as a scammer.

    182 steering wheel

    In my continuing quest to restore the trophy I'm after a spare steering wheel that I can send off for restoration. Does anyone have one going spare. Mike

    Wow, that's amazing Marc. I'm not in a massive rush. When you find them just send me a PM.

    Heater control panel

    I bought one from France, when it turned up the breaker had written over the front in white marker. It's now ruined 😒 Happy to pay the extra and make sure it's pristine.

    Heater control panel

    I'm looking for a good (ideally pristine) condition heater control panel. I know it's a long shot but does anymore have a spare they're willing to part with before I take a gamble on ebay. Mike

    Powder coat or wet paint on suspension parts

    That looks lovely. Making me want to get the springs redone at the same time. Going to stick with the plan to powdercoat the big bits and paint the smaller bits that will get knocked.

    Powder coat or wet paint on suspension parts

    I'm about to send the knuckles, wishbones, anti roll bar and rear axle off for blasting, primer etching and painting. Would people go for paint or powder coating on the parts. Currently I'm leaning towards paint on the wishbones and knuckles so I can patch any chips that happen and powder...

    Alternatives for the rear sachs

    Mark put a set on here for sale recently along with his phone number. I've gone with Mark fish springs as one of my rears has lost the pig tail. The front oem springs were available from France when I looked a month or two ago for €200

    The Saturday Ramble #1: The 100k mile question.

    For a long time I use to only buy diesel cars that had over 100k miles on them as the allure of a full service history, mainly motorway miles, a new clutch, flywheel and probably a new timing belt meant I could do another 100k miles before worrying about anything big going. On the whole I'm not...

    Are things getting a bit silly?

    It happens quite a lot with Japanese specialist cars. People just seem to invent prices for rare items and add scene tax to it. Saying that I have a spare bootlid already painted in Capsicum red, yours for £400.

    Drivers side xenon light

    Not sure if there's going to be much interest but wanted to offer it on here before I put it on Facebook. Drivers side headlight with a cracked front plastic lens. Was still working when it got removed and still has the bulbs and ballasts. Will be a good headlight again if the front lend is...

    Alternatives for the rear sachs

    Hopefully the wife doesn't see this. I ordered the cup dampers today and decided the car needed a few more bits with the money I saved compared to buying koni dampers. So I bought new dust cover bump stops for the fronts, a spare set of springs and a full set of powerflex bushes.

    Alternatives for the rear sachs

    Thanks for everyone's help. From doing some price checking Kam racing sell oem cup dampers for £70 each and larkspeed sell koni's for £133 each.

    Alternatives for the rear sachs

    Looks like the koni's will work. I'll have a look at renault oem dampers as well

    Alternatives for the rear sachs

    The koni part number is 8010-1048SPORT I've not see the renault v2 sachs yet but will try and hunt down a set

    Alternatives for the rear sachs

    My rear sachs are reaching the point were there's more oil on the outside than the inside. It doesn't look like you can get them rebuilt so what is a good alternative. I looked at koni adjustables but they marked as not for the cup models.

    SACHS DAMPERS REBUILDS

    That's amazing news and a great turn around from when I called last week. I need to learn your super power Marc.

    SACHS DAMPERS REBUILDS

    That is what they said to me yesterday when I rang them. Hopefully another shop maybe able to restore them going forwards

    SACHS DAMPERS REBUILDS

    That's a real shame. There's a spare set of fronts for sale but I may reconsider and buy some highend coilovers for day to day use instead & the sachs come out for events.

    SACHS DAMPERS REBUILDS

    Sachs have stopped making the rebuild parts.

    SACHS DAMPERS REBUILDS

    Does anyone rebuild the rears dampers? I spoke with BG Motorsport yesterday and they don't rebuild the rears but they also informed me they can no longer get spare parts from Sachs for the fronts.

    Centre cap part number

    https://en.oreca-store.com/clio-ii-r-s-trophy-center-cap.html Bought a replacement set recently from oreca, from what I've been told they're cheaper than buying from Renault UK.

    Wanted - Front/rear spring

    Before going down the aftermarket route I wanted to try my luck to see if anyone is willing to part with a set of oem unused or near new springs. I know it's a long shot so will take some advice on suitable alternatives if none exist.

    Is this too good to strip

    Personally I would strip anything I needed so I could refresh my trophy and then look for cheap second hand parts to rebuild the dynamic so it remains on the road.
