damper

I've snaped my nearside front spring. :( Does anyone have an original one, with the correct number on it: 8200514730 I doubt the sides are different, but just in case they are then it is the nearside one I need. Thanks Calum

well i have been a throphy owner for 2 days now and today its been dry enough to test the car on a few twisty sections i know like the back of my hand, i have found the trophy to feel a bit odd to be honest, on turn in it feels as tho the backend sways out but at the same time it stays planted...

Hi, I need new dampers on my trophy and was thinking to replace them with coil overs. I have had a look at k tec and there are a few different ones. Can anyone advise which is best replacement to sachs. I wont the car to feel same or better if possible. Ive been reading about all the problems...

hey peeps... was washin the motor the other day and noticed the gap between the tyre and arch are different with the drivers side lower by 1 inch.... any adeas wat it could mean...thers no difference in the cars handlin.

Hi all, My car has felt a little "different" lately especially on the front passenger side. Doesn't seem to handle as confidently as it did and the front seems a little "bouncy". I can push the passenger side down and get it to bounce quite easily whereas the driver's side is solid and will...

Hi all, Can't quite believe i am doing this, but 007 and i will very very sadly have to part company. Reason being that the Mrs and i are saving for a new house, she has sold her Mini and is saving like mad and truth be told me keeping a 2.0 hot hatch isn't going down all that well. I also have...

I have a problem with it. When I go round a corner it feels quite light and tends to understeer and feel light at the front end. Furthermore if I push even slightly more the back end comes round. At first I thought I had it wrong but as daft as it sounds I went out to see if I did and provoke...

Hi guys, 1st post so go easy. Im currently in the middle of stripping my supercharged fiesta st to fund a trophy and to pay my loan off. If i can ask for some advise from you guys that would be great. Mainly in terms of what i should be looking for, i.e, comman problems etc etc. Many thanks...

Hi all, I currently drive a DC5 which I'll shortly be selling. One of my reasons for selling is the suspension which, though wonderful on smooth roads, is an absolute nightmare on my daily commute due to the quality of the roads near me. After 18months of ownership I'm ready to move on. I...

Am considering getting my Dampers refirbed on the Trophy and want some 182 cup dampers to put on the car for while they are sent away. Please let me know there condition and how many miles they have done, as may use them for a while or at least till they fix the roads near me Would be best if...

Hi everyone, looking for some advice.... My 43k trophy has been an absolute joy to own for the past year and a half although i am now beginning to wonder if something is up with it. When im driving along at normal speeds there seems to be a bit more play around the straight ahead when i wigle...

I bought these last year from 480bhp but after lots of you can, you cant use them with rule changes for the sprint class I will be in they are up for sale. These are around £360 now and are THE best top mounts. I want £200 for them.

Hi Guys, Not sure if this is the correct term, boot strut or the damper that holds up the tailgate? But they need replacing on my Trophy as now they cant hold up the boot at all. Wondered if anyone had a part number for these, as I know they are shorter to accommodate the V6 spoiler? Any idea...

Renault / Sachs Race Engineering front dampers brand new in Renault box. Not refurbed ones. Selling them since I finally decided to buy a full Trophy kit (front + back dampers package) for my car. Looking for £1000 for the 2 front dampers, given that they sell around £1200 each new from...

Hey, bought and picked up my trophy last night from 'son of solo'. What a great car it is!! Probably the worst sort of weather you could ever pick a car up in, especially picking it up from Newcastle!!! The car is now living in Manchester. Are there any other trophy owners in or around...

Right this is really doing my head in!!!! over the past month or so I have this knocking coming from the rear....I have removed and refitted the rear konis god knows how many times, tried different settings. Had a look at the exhaust to see if its touching anywhere, checked the bumper etc etc...

******* I hope this doesn't contravene any CT rules ******* Hi Guys, I'm from ClioSport and we're desperately trying to get 30 people on board to get a cheap Top Mount deal from Kam Racing. The GB spans a few owner's sites: - ClioSport - Williamsclio - Clio16valver These are the items...

A suitable upgrade for the track orientated Trophy owner or just any road driver that wants the extra adjustability these dampers offer. These are the Sportline II's not the cheaper sportline I's that most people fit, the main difference is the 45mm diameter front piston, enables more precise...

SM55 FUV???? I am looking to buy this car next weekend from 'Newcastle upon tyne'. I asked the salesman whether he knew the unique number of the car but he must of been looking in the wrong place as he said he couldnt find it. I am wondering whether anybody knows any history of the car or has...

Just recently my T has started making a few knocks and bangs, I have (what sounds like) the exhaust banging against the bumper when I go over any uneven road surface - but I don't think it is this due to the exhaust not moving much when you push it. Will have to investigate more! But I was...

Hi, Just got my sachs back from being refurbished and I would like to repaint them as they have a couple spots of surface rust (unsuprising really). Anybody done this themselves? if so what did you use and and how did you do it? Cheers

While I was writing a piece about the Clio Sport phase 3 I stumbled across your board so I thought I'd better introduce myself. My name is Tijmen (32 of age) and I live in Amersfoort, Holland. I'm very active within the Club Renault Sportives in Holland where all owners of a fast small Renault...

The time has come for me to part company with my Trophy, No 084. It has been great fun owning it and it's certainly an absorbing car to drive. However a shiny black 350z has seduced me into the world of rwd. :D Here are the details: 2005/05 29500 miles Full service history Just had Full...

Sash front dampers all look ok currently on my T , looking for around 600.00 ono , all look ok no leaks etc any questions please pm me. :)

I have Trophy Number 162 advertised pretty much everywhere, so if anyone is looking for a very clean throughout Trophy, with up-specced 182 interior please give me a call. Former keeper and enthusiast Mike from here spent plenty on servicing, brakes and early cambelt. Plus new Speedlines and...

Thy hallowed day will be Thursday 19th November. He will be removing and refitting too. Apparently the quickest turn around he can do is the following afternoon, as he has to spray loctite over it and let it sit overnight. I'm having new adjusters too, as when the pin is removed, the shaft the...

Hi all, I am completely new to Renaults full stop, I have only ever had fords/vauxhalls in the past so i'm out of my depth but as you will see I couldn't pass this up!. Not sure where to start really, I was offered a clio as an ex company car (who I work for) and was told it had high mileage...

Just got the Trophy back with my newly refurbished Sachs front dampers which had failed at 22.5k, wow what a difference :D After spending a while looking for someone i could trust to remove and store the car while the dampers were away a friend recommended this place... JPS (Jude Performance...

My Sachs have now been rebuilt at a cost of £583.20 (inc VAT) by BG Motorsport. A brilliant service, very quick turnaround and smiles all round. However, I am a little frustrated with Renault. Clearly, when deciding how to see off the 182 they saw 1000 or so Sachs suspension units and...

Are they any good in the corners compared to the T? I was all over him just pootling really and he was having a hard time going straight (was damp/wet). So much so I thought I would leave him to it.
