Has anybody got these on their trophy? I was wondering what people thought and if they changed anything else when putting these on IE damper settings.
I'm thinking of getting some because top mounts are knocking over bumps (not the usual knocking on full lock either) I've worked it out to be...
Hi peeps, need some info and advice
going to the ring in july with the trophy and i need to ask anyone whos taken theirs what i should know, what set up did they use and did anything break while on the trip.
All advice would be greatly appreciated, i have a MarkFish set up at mo running 2Deg at...
Well, it's time to clear out all of the stuff I’ve got kicking about (1 double length garage and 2x sheds worth). If you need it, chances are i've got it kicking about.
All parts are from either a Titanium Ph1 172 with 85k, a Monaco Blue Ph2 172 with 72k, a or a Titanium Silver 182 with 58k on...
Having been looking for another trophy for around a month now and there seems to be quite a few that still havent had the dampers re furbed yet.
Just wondering how many on here are still running their cars without problems?

i think i will be in need of some rear shocks soon.
what's your thoughts on replacements?
i was going to go for koni or original trophy sachs.
i've been quoted £113 inc vat + postage for the trophy sachs
and £93 inc vat + postage for Koni's.
i am tempted by the £40 saving from the trophy...

Just given 038 a polish and some new pics. Would come with a new MOT.
If you know about these, and most here do, all the maintenance and new parts on this add up to a fortune. I'm on the fence about selling it as it owes me more, but it is a stock car, I have an R26.R I'd like to keep and how...
Bored today and even although they seemed fine decided to take off the sach dampers to get them refurbed.
Going to drop them off to get shot blasted this week then get them painted etc then get them sent to BG motorsport.
Will put up more pics as they progress.
I'm a bit perplexed by this, within the last month or so, i've been getting loud twanging/donging noises when maneuvering. The other weekend i checked over the complete suspension, to make sure noting was loose. I found no faults, but i tried tightening the front damper assembly top nut inside...
Just curious really.
Heading towards 3 years of ownership and still trying to keep mine as standard as possible, have a bit of a fetish for replacing parts all genuine Renault!
Still running original springs front and back, and have had the front dampers refurbed at BG with new Sachs rear...
Back again for sale and this time it's for certain. I need a much larger car and four doors.
One owner, low milage car. First registered on 24/12/2005. Number 487. Always garaged and extremely well looked after. Full service history including initial oil change after running in period. The...
Apologies for bringing this up again but the recent spate of comments on suspension has prompted me to post.
As I see it there are three options for replacing Trophy rear dampers:
a) 182 Cup dampers (£65ish)
b) Renault/Sachs Trophy-specific dampers (£115ish)
c) Koni adjustable dampers...
Hi Guys,
My front right shock is abit bouncy so think I might need a refurb soon, so planning on taking both the front sachs off and selling them. The other two are amazing, however my brother got the back left SACHs replaced with a standard shock. So I have 3 of the sachs left. Was planning on...
I'm getting really irritated by the seat position in the T. The recaro's are not height adjustable like my 1.2 seats were. The steering wheel is as high as it will go and still my hand bashes my leg and gets in the way during sharp cornering.
Has anybody come across a way to lower the seat...
Hi, I have owned a Cup packed 182 for over 4 years now, determined to keep it as long as possible.
Always kind of wished for the Trophy set up so I have just invested in a full set of Trophy dampers.
I was wondering what you guys could recommend to get the set up correct. Lots of advice already...
Hi chaps, wonder if anyone can help with my issue. I've been doing quite some work to my T the last month: Front sachs refurb, fitted Ktec solid top mounts, Poly bushes fitted to lower wishbones and anti roll bar, new track rod ends, lower balljoints, koni adjustable rear dampers, mark fish...
Hi
1. As per title. Looking for a definitive answer on what is adjustable on a Trophy (i.e. without using camber bolts/shims etc). I have had a look around and cannot find an answer.
2. Also, does anyone know if the Trophy has the same standard alignment settings as 172/182s?
I went to a...
I've managed to get the ball joint from the hub despite the thread spinning with the nut, grr! But now i can't shift the rod from the bar. I'm using a 21mm spanner on the rod and 13mm spanner on the bar...i could do with more leverage and will try and think of something. I'm spraying wd40 but in...
I've been trauling through suspension threads for the last hour and can't find an answer.
Where does everyone buy them from?
And,
What is 'revalving'? Is it just matching the damping settings to OE spec or is it something specialist that the likes of MF would do?
Thanks
Hi all,
I've recently had the front and rear dampers replaced/rebuilt as well as the top mounts. Its going back in the shop tomorrow to have the ball joints replaced as well ready for a full geo alignment on saturday.
The guy at the geo place mentioned the track rod ends can sometimes be a...
As I was moving cars about & an opportunity to take a quick pic presented itself.
The Trophy next to my Lancia integrale EVO & our recently purchased EP3 Civic Type-R Premier Edition.
Hi all now i know this has been covered many times before however i have a query that as far as i can see no one has asked.
Now im getting the front dampers refurbished middle of May, im currently running standard springs but im looking into the rears.
Im unhappy with how the Trophy likes to...
Hi, I'm looking to buy a Clio Trophy but wanted to know whether the drivers seat is actually height adjustable? Ive looked up on various guides and they all state is it but looking on previous post on here it seems the recaro seats arent adjustable? I figured this is the best place to ask seeing...
Good day chaps!
My recent MOT revealed a leaking driver's side damper. So it's my intention to whip the shocks off, send them to BG for refurb, off which i have just emailed. Just a note, I emailed Mark Fish first, who basically said use BG as they have the market covered for this job.

Hi folks,
I know there have been several threads on this topic and I have also looked on cliosport. I had been thinking I would get new ball joints without the wishbone and fit them to my trophy and at the same time fit uprated poly bushes to the wishbone. After reading on cliosport the...
