geometry

I've had a search on the forum but managed to miss this if it's already been posted. Does anyone have the 4-wheel geometry settings for the Trophy as it rolls out of the factory at Dieppe?

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...

I wonder if it's unavoidable?? - I seem to always get it at full bore acceleration, 2nd and 3rd gear, after 5 or 6k; I've got new PE2's and the geometry is all standard (today) - admittedly the roads are a bit cold but dry.... I'm doing the top mounts and camber bolts this weekend after which...

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...

Hi, My top mounts are creaking and I thought I'd have a go at replacing them (with Renault ones) myself. I've bought two top mount kits from Renault and am now after instructions/guidance on how to replace them. I searched on here and other Clio forums for details but couldn't find anything...

Hey guys, spotted a Trophy on PH for a good price that is near me and was curious what sort of MPG people are getting from theirs. I'll never get near a motorway so A & B road figures would be grand, cheers guys.

Ok, there's good news and bad news. I'll start with the good, so I can delay the inevitable lol. I LOVE these tyres. I fitted them at the beginning of December. I've used them through snow, ice, rain, you name it. They start well from cold for a track tyre. A bit of wheel spin in snow and ice...

Ok, I know my front camber and toe is out, as i had the dampers done. I haven't got round to doing it yet due to snow etc. I have noticed a knock while steering. It happens when you turn the steering wheel while stationary, or during low speed manouvering. Its not always in the same position of...

I know a few of you are into it on here, I was wondering if any one can suggest any decent routes around the Lakes. I've been to Ambleside for a walking holiday but never MTB up there... Any thoughts!? Cheers!

2005 (55) Renaultsport Clio 182 Trophy. I am the second owner of the car, which I purchased at 19,500 miles. Currently just gone past 40,000 Miles. The car has been very reliable throughout its life and has been a pleasure to own. I drive the Trophy most days and always make sure the engine...

******* 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...

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...

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...

All, Sadly the time has come for me to move on from the Trophy. It's an unfortunate casualty in a series of events and one I wish I could save, however having this and the Vee is out of the question and it'll sorely be missed: It's had: 36,000 miles - and just had BOTH belts done -...

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...

Dear All, After getting back from South Wales today, I would like to ask: what is the best technique for carrying speed into and out of a corner in a Trophy? I know all corners are different: different gears required, different braking points, different throttle pressure etc, but is there a...

PLEASE Don't hate me for asking this BUT.........I am wanting to get my dampers serviced as I have gone passed the 36k mark long ago! But also while doing this I would like to get new dampers on the rear (koni) and also get some Mark Fish springs. How much would I be looking at spending to get...

I appreciate this will of been covered before, but after spending 15 minutes searching through older threads I havn't found a definite answer. Could anyone give me what the original alignment settings on the front are? Im a bit confused by some results being in degrees and also some in "mm" and...

is there any point or are they already plenty stiff

After my recent trip to the Ring in my Trophy I felt the car was lacking outright power which is no surprise as I used to track and ring an E39 M5. I bought the car with the intention of using it as a daily hack but a have really grown fond of it especially it's capability on track. I now need...

I noticed my top mounts are not sitting right today. They were fine when I removed the Solid Top mounts a while back and since then I have had a camber adjustment, maybe this has caused it ? They are fully tightened ! Note: They do not even touch the Turrent !!! :shock: Any ideas...? ...

Thought I might put a few photos up of the first track day of the year, got a few things to do before the next one in June, anyway hope you like.

Hey just had some new tyres put on the front of my trophy and they said the old one were really worn on the outside edge of the tyre and this is due to tracking so they did the tracking! what worries me is they set it up as a 182 cup as they didnt have a clue what the standard settings for the...

what exactly is "corkscrewing" as mentioned by Harry T in this months Evo....?

Has anybody run 205 width toyo R888 tyres on a Trophy? And if so what offset wheels. Thanks

Hi, I've got a couple of questions about the clutch/gearbox on my Trophy and I wanted to see if anybody else had experienced the same things. 1. Being able to beat the synchro in 5th gear sometimes? This has only happened really occasionally, but there have been times where I've changed from...

I had read a blog from a team that races 172s and they had said that the rear wheel bearings were a consumable item and needed replacing pretty often. Yesterday i changed my rear brakes & bearings for brand new genuine renault bits, and also cleaned several tonnes of crap off the inside of my...

The Megane R26r is going to be on Fifth gear tonight (channel 5 at 8pm) Definitely worth watching as i'm sure some of us trophy owners may well move onto a R26r, well thats what i see myself owning next at the moment!! Gman

Having been snowed in two years running, I'm thinking my trophy has a profound disslike to snow. Ok, I know it is not designed for it. I love my Trophy, but this gets me down every year. My dad has a VW Passat oil burner (No I say!) and has no problems what so ever. So people, what cars are good...

Have wanted one of these for a while, but there has always been reasons stopping me getting one... until now! with the prices of used cars fallen so much of late, I found this one at too good a deal to miss... so it's goodbye to the Golf and hello to my mid-life crisis car ;)
