Tonight I was looking at my Trophy and something wasn't right with the stance, jacked it up to find the driver side front spring broken. Somehow it had managed to break and go under the upper half??? So the car sits higher on that side now :?
Before I phone Renault tomorrow I was considering...
As above.
In 205 Gti's it is something that needs to be done at some point as the trailing arms wear out where the bearings sit, as a result they pit and you get negative camber and the beam is not workign as it should.
I know the design between the 2 cars is different though as the 205...
OK, so last night i got the Geo done by a mates garage. Yes, they are a bodyshop, but when you are the authorised repairer for Lotus, Aston, Ferrari, Lamborghini & Pagani, you probably know how to set up a clio lol ...
So, effectively, since we fitted the front suspension, the Toe has been out...
I've seen another racecar for sale so am breaking my unfinished racer. Pics of most things can be seen on my site HERE Anything specific just ask and i can get you pics and more details. Also i can fit any of the parts, just ask for a quote. Collection preferred from Carlisle for the big stuff...

Got koni rear dampers with mark fish springs and the rear ride is pretty 'crashy' just from the rear when going over bumps as if its bottoming out.Are u ment to use different shorter bump stops ? or is anyone else finding this ? put the dampers on the softest setting are the probs still there...
I have an issue with my trophy's suspension set up. I adore the sash dampers they are very well build and have a good amount of adjustability but are lacking adjustable spring seat platforms. I feel when the car is on track it needs to be lower at the front and the back but mostly the back.
My...

Right ho,
Currently in a bit of a weird place re: the suspension on my Trophy. Front dampers have been refurbed, & the rears are also only 18 months old, so its a great setup, with plenty of life left in it ...
However, on track, its not quite low/stiff/adjustable enough, so my plan is/was to...

Looks like the MSA are trying to ban STM's from the Production Class. I know that Shiftspark has already run into this problem, but this seems to be a concerted effort. The proposed rule changes are badly written, so any of you licence holders who would like to join the objections, there is a...
Just got a call from BG and they have no adjustors in stock and won't have any for 6 weeks. My refurb is booked for the 11th of August :(
To add to the matters, I've just bought the Mark Fish stuff and have a track day on the 31 of August.
I'm also moving to Aberdeen in 2 months for a year...

Was at the 'ring at the weekend, had a fantastic time in the Trophy, definitely the most fun I've had there yet :D
Was hugely impressed with the Pagid Blues, they really did give incredible stopping power.
Got a clip of the last lap of the day, but wasn't the fastest. My best was a 9:08 with...

Spoke to Mark yesterday as i'm keen to purchase some of his stuff in the next couple of months.
Whilst i was on the phone i thought it would be best to ask about a group buy - he seemed to think that 10% off would be ok for 10 confirmed orders. But im sure we could get something for 5 as well...
Hi everyone, i have recently been getting a squeeking sound from what i think is the passenger top mount / all the way down to the wheel ( i cannot pin point where the noise is).
It happens when its dry as when its raining the noise goes away so all i can presume is that something needs...

So i thought i'd finally sign up here, some of you may remember this car:
was the one there was a thread on here advising people not to buy it.
However i did work for A/C at the and decided to take the risk to get it brought into my garage to have a good look at it and decide whether i wanted...
Anyone have them on their Trophies? I'm tempted to get some rear ARB's. Hopefully going to go with the Mark Fish sus set up at the end of the summer also. If anyone has that total combination would be good to hear your thoughts.
I've had a search on the forum but managed to miss this if it's already been posted.
Does anyone have the 4-wheel geometry settings for the Trophy as it rolls out of the factory at Dieppe?
The time has come to put the Clio up for sale. I'm selling up because I'm trying to scrape together the money to buy my first place. So the luxury of a fast car has to go. Will be really sad to see it go.
