I've just suffered a broken front spring and have decided to send both front Sachs dampers down to BG Motorsport at Silverstone for a rebuild while they are off.
BG Motorsport are Eibach dealers so it would be useful if I could provide the Eibach Part No. to them rather than the Renault No...
Fitted the top mounts, camber bolts and strut brace today - geo check tomorrow, had a drive feels pretty good but who can tell on the road, track day on the 24th so that will be a good test. Thinking that the shocks might need a refurb now though, as one had a faint sign of oil mist on the base...

Hi fellas
After selling my Trophy I bought a 172 cup to build into a sprint and hillclimb car.
I may have posted this elsewhere but cant remember (must be my age!)
Heres the link to my blog.
Any questions post it here!

:D
Which one would I be best off buying? I don't do many miles as I work away so I drive mainly at weekends. So it got me thinking a diesel might probably cost more than a petrol. But the diesel cupra has sooooo much torque! But I have heard they can torque steer out of corners! Which could be a...
I'm currently having my dampers refurbished and had a snapped spring so I'm looking at getting some alternatives as replacements from Renault are a shocking price. I was recommended the Sportline Springs by Yozzasport but some other people think they will lower the car by up to 50mm?!
Has...
I am looking to get my dampers rebuilt and change the rears to konis in the nxt month or so...but Was wondering about changing my springs - which are a good buy? I used to have Eibach Sportlines on my 172 cup but they were mainly for looks, where the prolines seem to be better for the handling...
Hi All,
Well today I decided to check the rear disc pads, which I did, but ended up cleaning the inside wheels, arches and shocks. (sad muppet) :)
Decided to do the fronts and noticed the adjustable shocks still had the locking pins in !!!!
Well they don't now, couldn't help myself from...

I probably won’t have much luck selling on here, but it’s for a worthy cause. The time has come for me to sell my beloved valver :cry: a very reluctant sale but it is to help pay for my dream car, which just happens to be a trophy 8) so it's time to move on
It's a mint, Naples red, phase 2...

The ride with these springs is greatly improved, firmer but not too hard - you lose a lot of the standard body roll and it will look better too.

With great regret I have decided to sell my 182, I've owned this car for just under 2 years and am its second owner (first was the parts manager at JayBee Renault in Banbury)
Its first Mot was about a month ago and it failed on a 1mm split in a cv joint and a worn ball joint, both of which I...
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...

Wheels are as new, lovingly polished even on the inside. Tyres are 60% worn Kumho V70A soft - the only make available in the correct size. Warning, they are brilliant in the wet, but not in standing water (only have 4mm tread when new)- also being soft they pick up every little bit of grit and...

Im looking to lower the Trophy 10mm all around with a set of Eibach pro lowering springs, however, I cant find any on the internet, I saw a set on K-Tec which lowered the 182cup 20mm on the front and 15mm on the back, am I right in saying this would lower the trophy 10mm on the front and 5mm at...

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...
The weekend started with a visit to Mark Fish to have the solid top mounts fitted that I had ordered last year but had only just got round to getting fitted.
Mr Fish (for those who have never met him).
The top mount.
Sachs dampers removed.
Holes drilled.

I'm getting my geometry fine tuned within next couple of weeks. I'm yet decided if I'm going to go for -2 camber or just optimise/correct the factory settings.
Does anyone know what the factory camber/toe settings should be exactly?
Hey Guys,
I know it's a long shot trying to diagnose a problem with my 182 over the net without seeing or hearing a car, but some of you guys are very clued up & thought you may be able to help me.
I have a funny feeling I have a engine or possible gearbox mount gone or on the way out...
