Like most people I'm on the case to try and find where the dust covers come from, If they are a reanult item with renault part number or what. So as i have spoke to Renault dealerships with no joy and RUK i thought i would message a RUK Guru on the renault sport forum (Jeremy Townsend) who seems...
Basically I'm thinking of upgrading my car in the near future to one with a bit more power while maintaing good handling. I've got a few questions I'm hoping you'll answer and I'm sure this forum will be a bit biased but I look forward to your comments.
If i do decide to buy it trophy, it will...

Hi all,
Has anyone fitted a proper track suspension setup i.e. AST etc... i'm talking 600lb+ springs at front. If yes, what do you have and how is it? Went out in a full track AST car and it was amazeballs:cool:. I want it on my car now. Ps. don't tell me not to as its a trophy, heard it all...
As title,
Went down to see Nick at PureMotorsport today to have one of his nice new 182 manifold back systems fitted.
I chose to decat instead of use his option of a race cat, purely to keep costs down.
The system gave a proven 6.6 hp gain on the rolling road, back to back over stock on his...
Has anyone found a way of perhaps trying to prolong the life of the Sachs? We know that they can suffer with road salt/dirt so just wonder if anyone else has come up with a solution to protect them. I'm not sure where the failure occurs, whether it leaks at the top of the body of the main tube...

Hi All,
Thought it was time to introduced myself......
I registerded in November 2011, after acquiring my first Clio V6 255 (Phase 2), my first Renault, with the intention of buying a 182 Trophy, but the purchase never happened.
Now, a couple of other acquisitions later, I believe I have...
About 1 1/2 years ago I had my shocks reconditioned and the are fine, but recently there had been horrible noises and clunking coming from the drivers side. After much hassle finding the problem we noticed that it is the lac of lubrication on the top of the shock. Can any one help me and tell me...
Clio 182 Trophy No. 108
After 4 years of ownership I am reluctantly selling my much loved Trophy. It has received nothing but the best treatment in its life, and is a truly superb example of the car. I have had to purchase a smart fortwo to get me around the streets of London, and the Clio...
Hi
I've just refitted my Sachs after CF serviced them and like at least one other person on here they seem incredibly firm. Now I've owned my T for about 5 years and I've driven lots of other Ts so I have a pretty good idea of what's normal, and quite frankly my Sachs dampers currently feel...
For sale here is Clio Trophy #181 of 500 , the car was first registered in 2005 and is on a 55 plate, it has currently done approx 95k miles.

Hello
Selling my sachs front dampers due to selling my 182, they are in very good condition for what they are, no score marks and are both rock solid. Was intending to get them powder coated and check over at cornering force, and if needed a quick refurb.

Hi everyone.
I sadly have to sell 224 to free up a bit more money towards a house deposit. I’m the 3rd owner and I will miss this car hugely. I’ve owned it since October 2009, have done quite a lot of mileage in it and it’s never let me down once.
HPI clear.
The car has a full service...
I've managed to source Yoki 195/50R15 for £62.30+ each, now I believe this to be a good price is there any others I brands I should consider before shelling out?

RenaultSport Clio 182 Trophy #196 For Sale
Sadly, the time has come to sell my Trophy. I've been offered a company car and it's makes too much financial sense to accept and I can't justify keeping the Trophy as well.
It's currently just ticked over 61,000 miles and it's probably one of the...
Hi guys, looking for someone around the area who knows there stuff, rather than letting my old grease monkey play with my car. It will only be for future maintenance not tuning, but I would rather let a specialist do it. Any recommendations? Be grateful if you could help.
Thanks, Luke.
My T is on Cup dampers and crappy lowering springs and I'm considering what's the best plan.
I don't think the price of new Sachs will ever be reflected in the car's value, so what's the general consensus - fit a decent set of coilovers, or leave it on the Cup dampers but swap the crappy...
