dampers

I'm sure most of you attempt or have attempted to carry out work on your own car before, mechanical minded or not. I for one have very little experience working on cars but can't resist having a go with a 'how hard can it be attitude'. As of yet I haven't caused any major damage (touch wood)...

Very reluctant sale. However need a cheap run around to commute to new job and park in the street and not mind getting parking dents etc. The Car.. absolutely no expense spared. Full Service history with Renault and Renault Specialists, only recently serviced by FRED in Birmingham. - 45k Miles...

Over the last 3/4 weeks I've been having a handling problem with the Trophy. Everything felt fine until I entered a left hand bend and I would turn the wheel but instead of turning in sharply the car would take a very wide path no matter how much I turned the wheel. I checked the tyre pressures...

Hi all now i know this has been covered many times before however i have a query that as far as i can see no one has asked. Now im getting the front dampers refurbished middle of May, im currently running standard springs but im looking into the rears. Im unhappy with how the Trophy likes to...

Good day chaps! My recent MOT revealed a leaking driver's side damper. So it's my intention to whip the shocks off, send them to BG for refurb, off which i have just emailed. Just a note, I emailed Mark Fish first, who basically said use BG as they have the market covered for this job. While...

Hi folks, I know there have been several threads on this topic and I have also looked on cliosport. I had been thinking I would get new ball joints without the wishbone and fit them to my trophy and at the same time fit uprated poly bushes to the wishbone. After reading on cliosport the...

Hi, Newbie just signing on and wanted to introduce myself. I'll be on the lookout for a Trophy or possibly a 182 with both Cup packs and recaros as a daily driver. I have a S1 Elise for the weekend, although I'm expecting that if what I read about the Tropy and 182 is right, I might be using...

As per title 4 x Springs (-15mm -20mm): Rear Koni Adjustables - (Normal not re-valved) Never fitted, still in the box and packaging as sent by Mark Just looking to get back what i paid for them, which was £464. This included the 10% group buy discount Post or PM

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...

Sadly the time has come to part company with my much loved Renaultsport Clio Trophy. It is build number 226 of the 500 that were released in the UK and has just over 54,000 miles on the clock. This will creep up as the car is in daily use It has a full service history and benefits from a very...

Hi Guys, I know some of this has been covered in other topics but I'm trying to bring it all together and get peoples views. As my dampers are going away soon to be rebuilt and depinned, I was wondering about the rest of the suspension setup. What kind of things have you guys done to sharpen up...

Used rear Sachs damper/s. Mines leaking, if anyone has one spare they could send until I get a pair of new ones it'd greatly apprechiated. Obiously would pay for it and postage :) dm me

Fitted whilst the Sachs were off being refurbished; have done approx 4k miles with no problems. Ideal if you're sending the dampers off and still need the car. Looking for £40 collected or £50 posted via Courier. Cheers, Rhod

Hi - I'm looking for a Trophy, preferably low mileage (under 50k), with dampers refurbed. I have a very low mileage (30k) 106 S2 Rallye that I could px if interested. Thanks

Just wondered is the same rubbish that was on ebay a while back? I don't think it's worth 5,500, in my opinion, what does anyone else think? Probably worth that much to someone who has never heard of a trophy. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/2005-RENAULT-CLIO ... 519wt_1139

I've recently had my dampers re-furbished with BG Motorsport and had them fitted earlier this week. I know the ride is firm, but I certainly don't remember it being this harsh; I can feel even the tiniest of bumps in the road and it's bone shaking to say the least. Another thing I've noticed...

13k miles, major service 2 weeks ago, dampers checked and are fine, immaculate condition both inside and out. completely standard no modifications. how much is it worth ??

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...

Hi, I test drove a Megane 250 Cup and Clio Sport 200 back to back today and I can't decide which is better. The car will mainly be a daily driver with occasional trackday use. The handling of both is great but the Megane might be a better car to live with day to day (if only it looked better)...

Hello one and all, Been looking into buying a Clio Trophy. Was just wondering what you guys recommend checking outside of the obvious when looking at Trophy's. I know the dampers may need refreshing. How do you know if they do? Are there any tell tale signs? Any help would be appreciated. Does...

Just got myself a Trophy which has the Mark fish springs and koni rear shocks. Have played around with the settings on the shocks and as recommended elsewhere on here have set the rears at 1 and a quarter off full soft and the fronts at 22 clicks. I do a lot of road miles and am finding the...

hi, It is with much regret that I am putting #322 Up for Sale. :( I want to pay off my student loan and get a cheap run about - I'm just not doing the Trophy justice driving it back and forward to work! Uploaded with ImageShack.us 2005/55 Renaultsport Clio Trophy - current milage is...

Drove 110 this weekend for the first time since November and its like having a new car all over again! Simply a sublime motor; handling, acceleration, sound, driver involvement, phenomenal! No real point to this post, just thought I'd share my Trophy enthusiasm! :D Now washed and tucked up...

Handling been shot lately and checked the tyres, 1 was on 7mm and the other on 2mm! Long story but had a puncture on the other 7mm and have been running a spare for a few months. Just got back from a local garage who fitted a new PS3 and did the allignment and filled the tyres with Nitrogen...
