I love my trophy but will be going RWD next!

From another recent post they are available from Renault at £105 + vat per side. Not a big deal. The fronts are a different matter. viewtopic.php?f=25&t=7021&p=61607#p61607

I think its only the fronts which are pricey. I wouldn't be overly concerned.

I have the same feeling as Cue. My car seems to pick up earlier in the rev range. Depends how you feel about spending the money.

Has anyone had to replace their alternator yet. The bearing has gone in mine and I've tried getting a replacement from a motor factors and from Renault. Despite giving them the serial number both have been different to the original 182. The electrical connections are further forward and won't...

Have a look on here... http://www.readyforthetrack.co.uk/2008/ ... ne-mounts/

Thanks for your comments. I'm hoping they will just add an admin charge as Hoolio said. I'd better give them a call before I book it in. Cheers.

Has anyone got any idea of the cost implications on my insurance if I have the Mark Fish suspension setup? So far Greenlight haven't added anything for brakes, ARB etc. Just wondered if anyone has done this already. Thanks :D

Well worth changing if you really don't like them. I bought a 182 rear seat off here recently and I'm very happy with it as I do take rear passangers. You can easily take them out for a trackday if you want.

Re: Koni Adjustable rear Shocks Hopefully we'll get some decent weather soon... :? I went to FCS last year but found it was a bit frustrating. Too much traffic!! It would be usefull for trying damper settings though.

Ollie, this sounds like the temperature sensor connection coming loose as Scott mentioned. viewtopic.php?f=2&t=4865&p=43543&hilit=temperature+sensor#p43529 The limited revs problem is something else I think. I had it once in very wet conditions. I guess it's down to another quality Renault...

Re: Koni Adjustable rear Shocks Really looking forward to hearing what you think of these fitted. As soon as I turn my fronts past about 26 clicks they start to feel unbalanced with the rear! I've been considering changing mine recently. :D

Glad you both have your cars back as they should be. Thanks for the advice Ajr, I'm sure sorting the tracking will get mine back as it was a couple of weeks ago. :D

AJR, Did you get around to adjusting your toe from toe in to toe out? Did it make any difference? I'm wondering as my tracking seems to have been put out recently and it does seem less stable. Need to get it sorted asap!

Damn, I just fitted a standard one at the weekend. Stupidly tight with the Maxogen and pretty heavy too!

I think it's worth taking a look at either and judging for yourself by the condition of the car. Many people will change the exhaust because the original has rusted / sounds pathetic / looks like a pair of pea shooters! I think to replace an original exhaust is also really expensive compared to...

I'm thinking about getting my cambelt done early at 60,000. Does anyone know if Mark Fish would be a good place to go for this or would it be best to go to Rentech? If I go to Mark Fish I wont have to take time off work, but I might get carried away while I'm there :D

I think those running more negative camber on the front (many of the regulars on here) can get away with pressures a couple of psi lower than those running standard. I remember 7MAT's suggestions for tyre pressures didn't work at all for me when I had the standard setup at Abbeville.

Looks great in my Trophy. Thanks Again. :D

Hi Kam, Have a nose around. There's a 'sticky' thread in clio trophy discussion which lists many common faults. viewtopic.php?f=2&t=534 The car should have the Aux belt changed at 3 years / 36000 miles. Be sure to have a good look at the dampers for damage or leaks. I don't...

Scott, I think you need someone to sort out your camber settings at the front at least. Your average alignment place probably wouldn't do this. So far they have sorted your front toe, but thats not going far enough in my opinion. I had this done by Mark Fish and it made a big difference...

I have 2 degrees negative camber and 10 minutes toe out. I do lots of miles and the tyres have warn evenly and not excessively either. It does follow cambers more than it did though. I'm happy to follow tried and tested advice. :D Likewise, it's important that you use a trusted company to...

I had this happen once in really wet weather. Nothing since (touch wood). :D

Well, etyres phoned me this morning to say that they didn't have any PE2's in stock in my area. What a surprise! I would have assumed they would check this before taking my money :? I spoke to camskill ( 01946 518202 ) and ordered 2 from them today. You have to give them a call as they're...

Yeah, I think that title was for the sake of Spitfire and me. Cheers Cue! :D I'd rather buy 2 expensive tyres than have to try 4 of a different brand at the moment though.

Thanks for the information Spitfire. I've just booked myself in for 2. Luke.

Ok, I'm not sure my PM has worked. I'm in Swansea on Saturday, so I could collect it from Abbergavenny in the afternoon if possible and give you the cash. If not my brother is at uni in Swansea anyway, so we could sort something out. I'm assuming you can include any fixings I wouldn't have with...

Hi Guppy, If you still have them then I'll buy them off you. I'll PM you on here as I'm not a cliosport member. :D

Re: clio 182 trophy for sale. fsh. mint. £6795 I agree, but he obviously doesn't know any better :?

Re: clio 182 trophy for sale. fsh. mint. £6795 Having a bad day lads. Give the guy a break!
