alignment

bit a weird one, but here goes.... many months ago i had the bonnet catch replaced by renault under warrenty (basically, went for a service, got it back, bonnet wouldnt open etc etc!) ever since this was done the bonnet doesnt quite 'sit right' - bonnet is slightly higher than the wings and...

Hi there, Big problems... I have just spent a couple of hours with my friend at his garage trying to line up this exhaust. everything is fine until we go to fit the last (right hand side) back box which the pushes everything of to the left almost touching the bumper! He does tune cars for a...

Does anyone know/have one fitted, whether there is a big difference between the Janspeed sports and supersports versions?Obviously noise but is the supersports much louder? sorry to go on.. :oops: but also would the 2.5" bore on the KTR ultra janspeed make much difference? Merci

My electric windows make a worrying noise, as they reach the top of their travel. It sounds like the glass hitting the door, maybe they are out of alignment and are being pushed too far. Sometimes when I go over a bump I can here the noise again. It sounds like the window's about to break. Any...

I appreciate this will of been covered before, but after spending 15 minutes searching through older threads I havn't found a definite answer. Could anyone give me what the original alignment settings on the front are? Im a bit confused by some results being in degrees and also some in "mm" and...

Need to get some new rear boots for the Trophy. Where's the cheapest place to pic up a pair fitted in Birmingham/West Mids or posted and I'll fit myself.

Hi chaps, thought i would share this one with you all. Had a mobile alloy refurb man to come do my trophy and my dads 197. As always my dads went smothly but as he jacked my car up it fell off the axel stand brand new front splitter first which i waited six weeks to arrive from k-tec. Also...

:( Hello again. Hope you`re all well. I`m not...422 is cornering very badly now and not being a mechanic i thought i`d see what your thoughts on this problem are. (visit to garage planned for the end of the week) The problem is,the car cuts into corners much sharper than it used to do and...

Hello all, im new to this forum and im thinking of getting a clio trophy so thought it would be a good idea to register! at the moment my daily drive is a 106 gti which has been fantastic so can anyone tell me if the clio will be just as fun do drive? and also how hard/easy would it be to tune...

Hi everyone, Yet another couple of questions...... The Trophy I bought last Saturday still has 2 months warranty remaining (the advance one), as it was bought by the last owner as a Renault used car only 10 months ago. I'm used to French cars having problems, but as I've still got this...

I know this has been asked a million times but does anyone have the Trophy workshop manual??? I have looked at all the other ones like 182 and 172cup but there must have been one made for the Trophy also?

Solid top mounts are going to be fitted to my car shortly. Im going for the KTR Solid Top Mounts which look very similar to the Compbrake ones. Those of you with Compbrake top mounts fitted I want to know whether you have experienced any movement in the mounts resulting in geometry changes...

After a pair of Camber Correcting Bolts... Thanks.

Going to have the alignment/tracking, camber settings ajusted. So many threads on here with varying opinion. I use the trophy as my daily drive and trackday toy when Im in the mood which usually involves driving to the ring lol! I need to know the factory settings if possible and please the...

Hello chaps, I had my camber and toe set up just before christmas, went for 1.5 neg camber and I was going for around the standard 12mins toe out, as per the common concensus. After speaking to the suspension expert at Northampton Motorsport, who were doing the setup I was advised to go for toe...

Hi All. I'm getting my geometry set up again this weekend, it's not been done since new, and at nearly 50k it's definitely off, what with having to hold my steering wheel a few degrees to the right to go straight! Soooooo. I'm presuming it's all trophy specific: Toe? Caster? Camber...

Right as an owner of a Trophy for the last few months we have all seen the horror stories surrounding the front dampers & the costs from the stealers involved in replacing them. Whilst looking into the dampers, you soon realise why they are 'so' good. Not your usual bolt on upgrade, but top...

Just had new exhaust fitted (Milltek)......sounds awesome :D , only issue i have found is that the right hand side tailpipe doesnt fit flush into the cut outs of the bumper. The left one is spot on. Can this be adjusted? I have had a brief look but cannot figure out how this can be moved...

Guys Been looking into upgrading my brakes, (even more so now because both front and rears are really worn), still mulling over whether i want a semi track set up and go down the Pagid blue/brembo HC set up, however I may want to just plump for a fast road use set up instead. I stumbled upon...

First phase of fixing my car after the pot hole:- Next new wheels and four wheel alignment... Flat tyre, sad, not having my car for 2 days and having to drive my dads 1.6 astra cd was a real eye opener as to just how quick our cars are, from a sign i always put my foot down at to a sign...

Tonight i went to the BP garage in shiremore, northeast, as i left i hit a pot hole on the exit of the forecourt, it felt like i had ran over a horse. Got about 300m down the road and knew a had a flat tyre, stopped and used 2 cans of tyre foam which just managed to get me home. On inspecting...

Yesterday morning i levered myself out of bed at 5.30 to make the 80 mile trip to Mark Fish to get; Goodridge Braided brake hoses, Pagid RS4-2 pads Brembo Max discs Combrake solid top mounts fitted Sachs dampers unpinned And camber (2 degrees) and alignment (10 minutes) dialed in...

Well, to start with it's amazing what you learn and quickly forget.... For about 10 minutes this morning everything to do with Suspension settings was crystal clear. Now though i can't remember anything other than the tit bit's i've spent months pondering from George, Donkey etc on here...

I went to Bedford aurodrome the other day and- In the wet morning the Clio was very tail happy and a whole lot of fun. :lol: As the track started to dry the car became amazing. As the front started to slide, a very slight lift would bring the back end gently into line with no real danger...

Just been told by a mate i was following that my offside headlamp is pointing a bit high. How do you adjust the dipped beam headlamps alignment?

Hi all, Just noticed the other day that my discs were VERY uneven. There are a lot of groves and this has made the braking squeek and braking hard very untrustworthy. My question to you knowledgeable people is whether it's simply a case of replacing the discs & pads or is there something...
