Hi I acquired these when I bought my Trophy, with the intention of using them for trackdays. I never got round to doing any. The wheels could do with a good clean / tidy up / refurb, depending on what they're to be used for. Also, unfortunately one of the renault centre caps is missing. All...

If a head-to-head test was conducted to assess Cup, Sachs and say H&R Coilover dampers, I wonder if we are able to say what the results would be on the road and track? I like the idea of the Cup dampers because they are so cheap (circa £100/pair) and must be pretty good. I like the Sachs...

Can somebody please report back on the following: Driving straight ahead at 60+ MPH using small movements of the wheel around the centre is there much "feel/feedback"? I have had lots of work done on curing a wandering/tramlining problem which is now sorted and the handling/steering feel is now...

just recently bought a 55 plate 182 can anyone tell me where the pollen filter is located please.

Hi guys i have found 387 at a local garage, she has 70k on the the clock and is advertised at £4850, i have asked about the dampers and the garage owner has said he has no paperwork on them! disks and pads look very tired. There is a small rust spot on the bonnet but other than that she looks...

apart from your own when was the last time you actually saw a trophy on the road. I have not seen one since when I was christmas shopping!! simon

ET 43 or 45??? i hear about the palmersport ones??....whats the best to fit the trophy. hoping to order tomorrow...pe2s are on their way, should be here fri.

Well, after fitting them last week, setting the front camber to -2 degrees negative on Friday and doing the Llandow trackday with CS yesterday, i can safely say that the H&R's are very worthy replacement to the Sachs. Handling is nigh on exactly the same as the Sachs/Sportline combo that i had...

I noticed a random electrical connector loose near the driver's side seat belt pretensioner, does anyone know what it is or where it should be connected if at all, doesn't seem to be one on the passenger side.

Guys, General thoughts on tyres. I noticed the other day my rear tyres are seriously cracked, I think they look like the orginal PE2. They still have plenty of tread on them, but doubt very much they will pass the MOT in June ? I know there is a sticky on tyre choice on here. Getting hold of...

Spotted a trophy on the bugle horn corner going towards stone around 1ish. Then spotted again at around half 5 near the college traffic light. I was in the missus bmw so you wouldnt of seen me. Although she did beep both time we saw you

how much difference to the handling does dropping down to say....15 inch williams rims on 19/50/15s on do??? they are pretty much the same rolling radius just a little less width. i know quite a few people drop down a size in trackday wheel/tyre for cost reasons...but how much diff would they...

I am one of the people that mourn the loss of Pilot Exalto 2s. I know they do them in 195 50 15 V (at half the bloody price of 16s!) so wondered whether it might be an idea to run 15" wheels and have the benefit of cheaper (better?) tyres? Could there be other advantages such as lower weight...

So within the next few weeks the Trophy will have reached the point where it needs 4 new tyres, after trawling through a few of the posts on here i can't seem to get anywhere... Has anyone had experience with running other brands of tyre on their Trophy? if so any recommendations? If not and i...

hi all. new to trophy/182 ownership. iv been in clios for the last 14-15 years or so and loved every minute of it so far. 1 thing i miss tho.....the adjustability of the car mid corner playing with the throttle. iv been told the whiteline arb will go some way to help correct this. whats the...

Ok I clearly took that bend a little too tight! P1000416 by julzatthepub, on Flickr It actually gave me no drama whatsoever and luckily was not far from home.

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...

Spotted as i left after swimming, mine was tucked away in the corner

about 8am this morning at the woodbank park tight corner, i was in the silver 182 =)

Took my car into a local garage today to try and get my brakes working properly and he hooked it up to the diag. machine that come up with a steering angle sensor fault. Which explains why i have an ABS, Traction and SERV light on the dash. This has occured because i disconnected the steering...

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...

It may just be me being worried or the road angle or something, but i seem to feel my front n/s bounces more than the o/s on flat full road width speed bumps where i can feel both rebound at the same time more or less, and there is a little knocking noise every now and then, i know the knocking...

hi all havent been on here for a while thought il just post some pics of my new car to replace my 200, its been 7 years having renaults and the trophy was the best of the lot :D. i wanted something abit faster and lighter what do you think? http://flic.kr/p/9UhA4n

when i pull away i get a knock from the front, when i change low gear i get the knock aswell like something is moving backwards as i pull away. after driving about 60 for a few mins the service trac light comes on. i know my suspension needs rebuilt but this wouldnt be the cause of it i dont...

Swapped my rears to the front as treads heading towards 3mm. That way I can replace them ASAP and put the new ones back on the back for winter. Wondering if this was wise as car feels very odd! Had balancing done on them but since then car still seems to wander more. Wondering if the tyres...

So I only just bought my 182 on saturday, it has just passed its MOT earlier this month and the problem that I am encountering is when im going round a corner at around 25 to 30 mph and I turn the wheel quite sharply it seems that the ABS turns on and slows the car right down untill I turn out...
