handling

For sale is my fabulous Clio Trophy, number 323 of 500 made for the uk as a special run-out model of the brilliant 182. Unique features for the Trophy over and above a 182 Cup include Capsicum Red paintwork, V6 rear spoiler, special Sachs Racing dampers and eibach springs, Grey Speedline Turini...

Hey guys, The Sachs are coming off '380' later as they're booked in with Ben on the 8th. I've noticed a lot of people saying that they've had the struts un-pinned to allow adjustment to the damping. I've had a quote of £25.00 each + vat, is it worth me getting this done while they're away?

What is there that should be replaced on the front suspension assembly same time when getting the dampers refurbished? Rubber mounts etc. Anyone got renault part numbers?

Ive just has new spring put on my trophy as one of the front has gone, I was wondering if anyone wanted one front (left) and the two back?? Please PM

Hey all I own a clio 182 and i have done the below mods. As i am sure you all know we get used to the speed, power and well we end up wanting more :D . Is there any advice you can give me ? Please note that i am in south africa so really looking for suggestions like cams ect and i will find...

Got a couple of issues regarding the handling on my Trophy, i need to have a poke about on the ramp just haven't had a chance yet. Basically the steering feels a little sticky just either side of straight ahead, also seems to have very little self centering action, as in if you're on full lock...

hey ok so i have a question, the trophy has great handling no? that was the point. so why is the 'logo' picture in the top corner got a whole load of body role would another pic not be more appropriate ? tell me to shut up if im wrong, it just seems a bit odd thats all. only food for thought...

Anyone have them on their Trophies? I'm tempted to get some rear ARB's. Hopefully going to go with the Mark Fish sus set up at the end of the summer also. If anyone has that total combination would be good to hear your thoughts.

Well have to say I'm truely blown away by how good it is compared to my old 197. The steering is sharper, the handling is fantastic, gear box is the best renault gearbox I've experienced so far and the performance is superb. Don't have a bad word to say about it tbh and its deffinately in line...

Hey 8) I had my first track day on Monday and loved it! :D :D I was terrified at first but soon settled in after a couple of laps. BRAKES: When I first went out I managed 4 laps and had to pull into the pits as I was experiencing a little brake fade and wanted to check tyre pressures...

Hi, Ive been reading about air filters for clio sports on web and threads on here but not sure which is best one. I currently have a itg panel filter in standard reno box. Its good and has made slight increase in engine response. But now noise. Does anyone know which is best air filter which...

Hey, Does anyone know where the cheapest place to get rear suspension for trophy part number 8200 519 954. I am finding it difficult to find someone that stocks them. jsthomson

.................well managed to replace 1 ball joint and it took me hours! The holding nut was rather tight to say the least. Similar subject, looking to replace the top mounts with solid ones but wondering if there are any options where the chassis is not drilled? I have sourced...

I have my dampers booked in for a refurb on Tuesday as the passenger side is very soft and bouncy. So today I took the dampers off ready to clean and send to BG motorosport. Once I got the passenger one off I discovered the following... ... looks as if the spring is fubar! You can't...

My auntie and uncle came down yesterday for some easter dinner and my uncle was saying how nice the trophy looked how shiny it was :lol: My cousin has a focus ST 07/57 totally standard. Bought it brand new - ......... well my uncle was going on about that he is wanting to sell it to buy a...

After selling my Trophy back in 2009 i bought myself a Megane R26 as a replacement, from day one i never found it as exciting as the Trophy, i wasn't even excited the night before i went to pick it up! After 6 months of owning the Megane and going from days of loving the torque and the sheer...

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...

After much consideration about what I could do with the Trophy, I have decided to sell. The trophy has been great and nothing has gone wrong since I've brought it off 'johnnytheboy' off here (he's looked after it wonderfully during his ownership) Clio Trophy 182 -Number 383/500 -2005 '55'...

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, Have just registered on the site and thought i'd introduce myself. I don't have a Trophy just yet but I'm looking to get one in the next few months. I'm currently driving a JDM FD2 Honda Civic Type R which I imported approx 18 months ago. The car's an absolute cracker but unfortunately...

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...

This old nugget again. What have been peoples quotes been like this year? Just got mine through and am pretty disappointed that it's gone up so much considering 9 years no claims, I'm an old fart, low miles, off street parking under cover in a safe area. Gone up about £50 to £388 with Greenlight.

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...

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 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.

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...

Random question... How often do you carry more then 2 people in your T? Maximum people I carry is 3 as the leg room is non existent behind the driver and I don't think anyone would want to sit in the back on top of the Orb! But I also remember seeing a photo a few years back of someones rear...

recently been to look at a black clio 182 2005, i liked the car so gave the deposit to secure the car. the dealer said it had the trophy pack added on, which he said was suspension spoiler and wheels, the car does not have the recaro sport seats. i was just wondering if it is possiable to have a...
