At work rite now car up on the ramp I have bought two new renault 182 "extreme package" front shockers and am swapping them over cause trophy ones are going for refurb So the go staint on having little trouble with lenth and struttop mount

93000 Looks to have full history Overall good condition. Alcantara door cards And xenons. ?

So, after a few months of owning my T I have fallen in love with it. I cant think of anything that comes close for the money. Im going to get mine booked in for a service soon and wondered what if anything would be good to get replaced/refreshed?Dont have to worry about dampers as they have...

Looking to spend a little money on the Trophy now as the steering (since the 'tracking was done at Kwik Fit) has got progressively more loose/wobbly over the past few weeks - im thinking they buggered something up with too much heat? Front Sachs seem fine and have only done 15k since they were...

I re-discovered Evo magazine’s raison d’être last weekend – the thrill of driving. I bought my Trophy (#23/500) in early December. Its one previous owner had serviced it regularly but in most other respects it needed a dose of TLC including: refurbished front dampers; new exhaust; rear...

The dampers came off the car to get the stock springs replaced with Sportilines and found out the right side damper wept some oil. About 36k old, the left side one s in rock hard/perfect working order, right one s on its way to die and would definitely need a refurb. I'm not going for a rebuilt...

Hi everyone can't believe i've only just registered on here after having my trophy for 7 years! (sorry! lol) please can you help? been told by my garage I need full new suspension front & rear. Not concerend about the rear but the cost of the front ones gave me a fright! last year i got a...

It is with great regret I am putting up for sale my Renault Sport Clio 182 Trophy #248, due to a change in work circumstances and an increase in my commuting mileage. The car has served me faultlessly, it has been looked after and maintained with no expense spared, washed and waxed weekly...

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?

Hi guys, I was wondering how many of you would recommend Sportlines over the stock trophy Eibach springs. I' d love to get some low but I'd never compromise handling for look. cheers Al

Page 132 bottom of 2nd column. Suggests Mini's engineers should have driven a Clio Trophy and fitted Sach dampers if they were serious about the Coupe's sporting credentials...

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...

For Sale: Renault Clio Trophy Sachs dampers. Description: I bought these dampers as I was going to get them rebuilt by BG motorsport. Unfortunately the top seal is weak and has caused them to weep. I had a quote from these of 320+VAT to rebuild them. making a mint set of £1500 dampers for...

Hi all, I'm a long time lurker on here, but have never posted anything. Having read the first Trophy reviews years and years ago, I knew I had to have one. A combination of uni, city living, finances and getting married have all slowed down the process. Until now. Money went down on a new T...

Guys, I need your help on where to get a new coil spring for my Trophy as it has collapsed. The MOT was last week and it failed and trying to find a coil spring is like trying to find a DoDo!! Where can I get one? A standard one will be fine just now until I look for coilovers. Any help...

After owning my trophy for over half a year i am very strongly leaning towards an r26 megane. the trophy is deffo the best car iv ever had and the r26 will have a hard act to follow. A swap would be ideal but i am looking for around 5.5k for mine. really well looked after, as pretty much all...

Hi, Looking for a set of front sachs dampers for a trophy. Either new or recently refurbed. Cheers, Steve

Hi, need some help, just got dampers refurbed at BG's and thought i would renew all the other bits i.e top mount/rubbers and brgs but i cannot source the bump stop/gator which reno say are now NOT available!!!! Help i dont want to put the old ones back , there a bit bent and worn, but i will if...

Hi :D Im new to the forum and have joined to gain a little knowledge from trophy owners about the car. Hope to be purchasing a Trophy at the weekend which seems like a good one but I have a few questions. How often should the dampers be refurbed? I hear £400 is the going rate? The ones done...

Well, after getting loud donging noises when maneuvering, and people on here saying the top mounts would cause it, the garage I use also confirmed this. Ktec said to use engine oil to lubricate the top mounts last week, which i did, from within the engine bay, but it made no difference. I was...

Hey folks new on this form I am away to buy a 182 trophy on a 55plate at the weekend I have never Owned on befour are there things to look for? It has 65k on it and full service history belts been done and Jst serviced at 61k it's in good condition a few stone chips on the bonnet and little...

Must be in good condition with no leaks and nice gap near reservoir (message me if you need details about this!). Missed 2 sets over the weekend and think this may be my best option to avoid a potential hefty second refurb! Let me know what you've got, cash waiting. Thanks

I got these a few months back from a trophy that had been rear ended. Didnt catch its number, however the mileage was just below 20,000 miles. I purchased the shocks from it to trasform my cup into a trophy wanabe :) Anyhow plans have since changed and I now own a set of bilstein b14...

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...

Have been saving up for a while and buying parts on the cheap when they became available. Today is the day the car has gone into the garage for a front end 'refresh'. Have opted for Lemforder ball joints (last ones were cheaper alternatives), new genuine front bearings, complete top mount kits...

Hi All I'm viewing a Trophy in the morning! is there anything I should be looking out for apart from the obvious things that are discussed on here! any help would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks Ps Cup

Well what a bloody find. Please read carefully and then read at the bottom of the pictures !! It states in the letter that this is a one off but dont worry as im on teh case to get a pile of stickers for a few people as even on the phone a RUK manager has told me that...

Being new to the forum and a trophy virgin i thught i would ask some questions with the people that Know. 1.what is the best source for service parts i.e. sparks/brembo discs and pagid or ferrodo pads? 2.the rear wheel brgs are shot on my 131, so are being replaced, question is they are noisey...
