    Protecting the Dampers

    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...

    Missing Gatwick car parkers thread

    So why was this thread deleted? I'm guessing that his visits last night were to fire off some threatening PM's. Pretty lame that the forum folded so easily, disappointing.

    Need help with important decision

    Just brought a trophy and one of my front sachs has gone :( plus I have snapped a spring. Been advised by bg that its best to get both done at the same drive in and out cost around £700(without springs) I've read some people are switching them out for h&r's/spax rsx kits and I'm swaying...

    15" Track rubber

    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?

    Damper choice

    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...

    195 vs 205 Tyres

    I am in need of 4 new tyres and looking at prices for premium brand 205/45/16 tyres are £100+ each including P&P/fitting. I used to run a ph2 172 and they ran on 195/45/16. I remember with Conti Sport on the 172 the handling was more playful than the Trophy. Has anyone considered or are...

    New battery advice

    Hi I need a new battery and wonder if it's worth paying a little more than what Renault sell? A Bosch Silver HSB063 (£90) gets very good reviews on Halfords website the main - the main comment is it's very powerful. It also comes with a 5 yr warranty. One from Renault is £65. They are all...

    Trophy on Coilovers. Slammed Yo.

    Or perhaps not. This is a Trophy afterall ... Handling > Lowz:up: On Sachs / Sportlines On H&R's Very pleased so far, ride is lovely, far better than the Sachs in fact, which would imply that they are probably a little softer. Havent really pushed it particularly hard as the camber/toe...

    Taking the plunge

    Hi all, I'm a long time lurker on here, but have never posted anything. Having read the first Trophy reviews years and years ago, I knew I had to have one. A combination of uni, city living, finances and getting married have all slowed down the process. Until now. Money went down on a new T...

    What Faults Have You Had During Ownership?

    I know Renault seem to get bad reviews amongst people regarding the reliability but during my ownership I have found the Trophy really reliable. I've owned it 3 years and 4 months and had the following issues... Failed Coolant Termperature Sensor Failed Damper Seal Failed CV Boot Clip Thats...

    handling problem

    Trophy was handling like a bag of crap, noticed a bouncy damper so had it rebuilt at BG a few weeks ago. Also the exalto's on the front had come to their usable end so replaced them with the Pilot Sport 3's. Anyway, Trophy's feeling a bit weird in some corners, i cant really describe it, its...

    Dilemma of which Renault sport, post your experiences

    Hi, I test drove a Megane 250 Cup and Clio Sport 200 back to back today and I can't decide which is better. The car will mainly be a daily driver with occasional trackday use. The handling of both is great but the Megane might be a better car to live with day to day (if only it looked better)...

    Trackday Tyres

    Anyone tried Federal 595 RS-R's : semi slicks like R888's - they are significantly cheaper than Toyo's and seem to get good write up's elsewhere. I'm need a new set of track only rubber (was on 888's) and might try them ????

    hankook Rs2's

    Anybody running them and whats the verdict over the Exalto's? I read somewhere the exalto's are being stopped and replaced by something else so was thinking RS2's may do the trick How do they perform in wet/dry conditions, cold/hot days etc. I've heard they're similar to a track day tyre for...
