Regular stalker of this forum but never time to post T450 is all well (apart from CV boot clip fail) currently on 41k.
Anyway, whilst changing the front discs today I realised the T needed some TLC on her, so I plan to refurb the front dampers, new springs on front, lower wishbones, powerflex...
I know theres plenty of threads on exhaust choices here but it's time for me to invest in a new one as mine is starting to look and sound pretty tired, slight rattle and movement under center section. I don't want it to be loud so it seems like either of these is the choice, is any one quieter...
Hi there,
new to this forum but looking to buy trophy reg BJ55 FWR. Can see it is a previous members car so any info would be massively appreciated on it.
Got a clio v6 and renault 5 gt turbo so the trophy will complement them well.
Cheers in advance,
matt
got these for the clio after suffering 2 winters with poor grip on the michelins. 4x 15" pirelli snow control tyres and genuine Oz F1 wheels. the tyres give increased grip over the michelins in anything below 8 degrees. in retrospect, well worth the investment to get better grip over winter...
I've owned #207 since September 12, having owned #383 before, so its about time for an update.
The car was in excellent condition when I picked it up and only needed a few bits doing!
New exhaust mounts fitted and AeroTwin wipers on arrival home.
I had ordered new set of Speedlines from...
Brand new Renault trucks mens medium size jacket made by regatta top quality waterproof fleece lined water proof still in oe packaging hood in collar.

In the market for a pair of new front springs since I have discovered that the right hand one is cracked.
I am looking to go for the original spec springs (Renault part number 8200514730) but have seen various threads quoting a variety of different prices from different Renault dealerships...
Hi All

I've read that taking the spoiler off is a pain but I can't fix the brake light without doing so as far as I know. Does anybody have any experience I can take advice from to avoid breaking anything on the spoiler.

Having owned 259 for 6 weeks or so but spent 4 weeks of that abroad working, it was time to sort out the front end of the car. The fog lights were missing and the splitter a mess.
I fitted some new Fog Lights and a Seat Splitter to refresh the front end. I am happy with the result...
For sale I have one Trophy Turini in good condition (pic to follow) with brand new budget tyre on it (205/45/16). Wheel and tyre does not include centre cap which are about £17 from Renault.
Ideal as a spare - £120. Price does not include postage/freight.
Happy to post - but at your cost.
I got a letter saying all clio 182's including the cups etc all have a recall about the bonnet catch ceasing and then the bonnet opening as you come down the road and smashing everything to bits?
Firstly, apologies if this is covered in a thread I haven't found - I have searched the damper threads but couldn't locate the answer to this specific question.
Basically, has anyone had their Sachs dampers unpinned and compared the car's ride on the softest setting against the hardest? If so...
Perhaps we don't need to worry about Renault going in a different direction with the new Clio!

The front of my T has quite a lot of stone chips. I read over on cliosport.net that red is the worst for stone chips as the paint is softer, any truth in this?
Anyway, it seems to be true for mine so I've had a quote for a front end respray.
The quote is to remove and refit the front bumper...
Having a browse on the very addictive 'How Many Left' website the other day and thought I'd look at how the Trophy is getting on:
http://www.howmanyleft.co.uk/?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=clio+trophy
Only 411 left registered on the road as of third quarter 2012, and 32 more tucked away on SORN. So...

Well eventually I have gotten round to fitting my new Yokohama Advan Neova AD08 tyres to go alongside the K-Tec exhaust and induction kit already fitted.
So on Thursday I am paying a visit to Dan at 519 Automotive to sort suspension and brakes.
On the list is a set of Spax RSX fully adjustable...
Hi, my trophy is away to get a major service. So was it the best brake fluid, coolant and gearbox oil to use? I already have the Titan race engine oil so I have that covered.
thanks.
Hi all,
Just wondering if anyone knows if OHLINS do a front shock for the trophy/cup ?
As im contemplating changing from Sachs due to costs of new units
Cheers
Just an update for all you trophy owners on the holy grail of the sachs stickers that go on the shocks and the trophy decal that goes on the side skirt.
I will start with the sachs stickers and once again i have tried and tried to get more from my contact at RUK and i quote
