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...

Hello, I've bought a trophy and I love it lots, but there's a couple of niggles: 1) I feel the car is slightly down on power, the car has an incomplete service history and i'm told the cambelt was changed by the previous owner, it's suggested that I get the timing checked, does anyone know how...

Had 248 for over a year now and just realised i have no decent photos. after a quick wash and buff i took these photos up the road at my favourite photo location... MOTed this week (only 880 miles this year) 38500 in total.

Hi, I've just had my dampers back from Simon at Cornering Force and don't hesitate to fully recommend his service. They are now 'unpinned' and so I want to try and understand what the adjuster actually does and to what degree. Does anyone have a damper curve for the Sachs at different levels...

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?

At guy at work said you park in Station Road most days?

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...

Whats there to say really, BigDave popped round Saturday morning as a mate of ours was fitting ktr/vibratechnics uprated engine + gearbox mounts and a powerflex dogbone so while they were doing that i cracked on with getting the sachs back on the trophy and fitting the sportlines, turned the...

spotted this. £10k though!! :eek: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/230969091091?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649

I'm looking to buy a set of 2118's as my turini's are shagged. But is it going to look like a moon buggy with the 15" wheels without lowering it? Or will I need lowering springs to avoid the puddle jumper look? Has anyone got a picture with the, on without the car being lowered? Thanks.

i took these front pads off the car last month to put new discs and pads on the car. i was going to include in sale price for the car but no interest in the car means I'll sell these separately and reduce the price of the car. there is 9mm - 10mm left on each pad, front pads are circa 17mm...

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...

As above, I've purchased a set of Koni Yellow adjustable rear dampers and was wondering what is the best setting for road use whilst still maintaining decent handling.

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?

Location: Edinburgh OK, here goes. No 125 up for sale. I bought this car in 2011, have had great fun and am in two minds as to whether or not to keep her for life! I have steadily added/renewed parts as I've gone along sorting out the usual clio issues and have receipts for all new parts and...

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...

Has a similar problem as someone else did on here, going down a hill, nothing i could do :(

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...

Hi guys, title says it all. It's only a thought in the pipeline as I've just stumbled on what looks like a bargain at snetterton, £49 for the day, 15 may. Thing is, my car is absolutely standard, and I don't plan on modding, but I just want to see what the trophy can do in a safe environment. I...

What rare cars have you seen on the road? 1. I spotted a debadged camouflaged BMW i8 last Friday on M25 2. Veyron on the M40 3. 26 Trophys at Gaydon 2 years ago ;)

Wahey, first one I've seen driving since I've had mine :) looked nice, it's good seeing another one on the road. I didn't flash as I only caught a 2second glimpse and the central reservation was in the way. Anyone on here??

So I've been doing a few more miles in the T recently and this morning after being on the receiving end of some serious road rage AGAIN and tbh not being your stereotypical boyracer hoonhoodlum I'm beginning to wonder if it's the car that attracts a little bit of extra unwanted attention or is...

Dust on the T is from our road crumbling after the icy weather:mad:

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
