I did the same but went from old Toyo t1r which have lots of tread left to Yokohama AD08R. I did consider the PS3 but the AD08r is just a next level tyre.
Someone get a price on Ohlins for a Clio Trophy. I think 2-3k is reasonable. Anything between 3-5k i'd think twice about. For that money AST's valved to suit would be my next best bet.
I found this shop via google search. They have some example Recaro seats that they have retrimmed in tweed and the quailty and craftsmanship looks spot on. http://www.edgeautomotive.co.uk
Yes they are difficult and time consuming to powdercoat, easy to do just the top caliper brace abc that’s it. I’d guess time and effort would be a pita. Easier to spray paint yourself with some rattle cans from halfords and clear coat on top.
I decided to go with the adjustable Koni yellows. I'd suggest the same. The seals on an old unit like that may go and your left with a cumbersome paper weight 400 quid later.
Good point above ^ i'm curious whether anyone has thought about a machined adaptor mount you could bolt up to the front there and the rear where the current jack mounts are to give additional rigidity and width for a normal floor jack to contact to?
In my humble opinion i hold the PMS system as the best of the best for exhaust systems out there for the Trophy. The quality is second to none and in combination with the mounting system and weld quality on the flanges makes it #1.
Great source of inspiration. I also have an inferno orange clio 182 cup which was released as an F1 edition here in Australia. I am building it up to my ultimate daily driven street spec car as well there is a thread of it on OzRenaultSport.
I am refurbing my entire setup with freshly rebuilt Sachs from BG with new Koni adjustable rear dampers alongside the Eibach Sportlines. I think that look with the Sportlines are bang on great. never been a real fan of the 4x4 look on the trophy on stilts. So happy compromise.
