sachs

Hello Trophy owners, Compared to the standard 182/cup how do the trophies running costs compare? Are the dampers the biggest expense for the trophy? Is it worth just getting a standard 182 or cup. Do they other the same fun for the shake or not having the Sachs...

Sash front dampers all look ok currently on my T , looking for around 600.00 ono , all look ok no leaks etc any questions please pm me. :)

Hey guys, im looking to buy a cliosport but cant decide whether to get a 182 Cup or pay a bit more for a Trophy. Any advice? Cheers

Which one would I be best off buying? I don't do many miles as I work away so I drive mainly at weekends. So it got me thinking a diesel might probably cost more than a petrol. But the diesel cupra has sooooo much torque! But I have heard they can torque steer out of corners! Which could be a...

Just got the Trophy back with my newly refurbished Sachs front dampers which had failed at 22.5k, wow what a difference :D After spending a while looking for someone i could trust to remove and store the car while the dampers were away a friend recommended this place... JPS (Jude Performance...

My Sachs have now been rebuilt at a cost of £583.20 (inc VAT) by BG Motorsport. A brilliant service, very quick turnaround and smiles all round. However, I am a little frustrated with Renault. Clearly, when deciding how to see off the 182 they saw 1000 or so Sachs suspension units and...

Hello Guys joined up after seeing the sticker in the back of my new trophy i picked up from Ely just over a week and a half ago. Who ever used to have it must be on here and must have looked after it , its tip top and i love it , i have had lots of cards , turbo non turbo vxr's and this is well...

Just a quick query - anyone who's had this done -have you declared it as a mod for insurance/should it be? Thanks!

I'm currently having my dampers refurbished and had a snapped spring so I'm looking at getting some alternatives as replacements from Renault are a shocking price. I was recommended the Sportline Springs by Yozzasport but some other people think they will lower the car by up to 50mm?! Has...

Hi, After months of trying I have finally persuaded my Wife that a Trophy would be a great move away from her doom blue Clio Dynamique. :D I am looking for a mostly unmolested car (brake upgrade welcome!) at a reasonable price with upto average miles (48kish) with good history. Anyone...

First post. Some of you may recognise the PB part of my username. It's me PBCUP PB.F1 etc. Anyway my 225 F1 was stolen so if it aint recovered I'm in the market for a Trophy. I want one under 30k and it must have the following Good service history (dealer or specialist) Still be on PE2s...

Hi all, Needin to get ma Sachs re-furbed but need car every day for work so am lookin for replacement suspension for it while i get this done. Cant seem to find Koni's to fit.... Bilstein quoted me £1000 and told me that the trophy had a megane front axle which i've not heard before :? :? ...

Curiosity got the better of me so I decided to strip down my spare damper to see the inner workings and also see if I could find out why it had gone ‘soft’. I really had no idea what to expect as ive never seen the insides of a Remote Reservoir Damper before but I did have a picture in my head...

Ok seeing as the car will just be track orientated once finished i've decided to sell the stock dampers. 2 Fully refurb'd and unpinned Trophy Dampers, when refurb'd they were cleaned up and primed with acid etch, re-sprayed in silver and also laquered. The top hole has also been modified to...

Has anyone fitted 182 Cup Shocks to a Trophy while they have been getting there refurbished? Does andone know the part numbers for these?

I just got my car back from the dealer after the following work: -new gearbox -new clutch -new flywheel -new driveshafts -back to standard sachs dampers (original ones at the front, brand new at the rear) This little lot was the result of accidentally clocking 2nd rather than fourth from the...

have the trophies got a 6 speed gearbox?

I don't know if anyone has posted this before but here is how Harry got on with the Sachs refurbs. http://www.evo.co.uk/carreviews/evolong ... rophy.html

I'm playing with a few ideas for the winter rebuild, and one of which maybe the Sachs dampers making way for some coilovers. What kind of price have used dampers been going for? Also these have been refurb'd 1000 miles ago so please bear this in mind :wink: Any thought welcome. Chris

Ive put together some theory questions, see how well you do... :) Ill be honest, when I was reading through the book there was one or two of the following questions I didnt know. (1) A pelican crossing that crosses the road in a STRAIGHT line and has a central island MUST be treated as…...

Hi all Thought I would get registered on hereas i am looking for a Clio Trophy I currenty drive a Mountune performance tuned Fiesta ST500 (even though it didnt stay looking likea ST500 for long) Are ther eany certain things I shoud be looking out for if I actually find a minter for sale? I...

I have a week of work soon, so I was thinking of getting the front dampers refurbished. However, having seen a new suspension setup on another car (more in a minute), I want to do some suspension mods at the same time. Ok, in my opinion, The car is far too soft, more so at the rear. This is...

Hi all I have only had the Trophy a few weeks (1500 miles) but the PE2's on the front are in need of a change. I have tryed quite a few tyres in the past on my Ph1 172 but have never tryed R888's... so I thought I'd get a set and see how they do on a day to day basis through the summer. I have...

Hey All, Looking to get another set of wheels for the Trophy and surprised at the range of offset's used for the Clio, using this site for reference: http://www.alloyguide.com/Renault.php it looks like any offset from 35 - 38, but the standard Trophy rims being 45 does that mean we can use any...

looking for the thread with the pictures to see if my sachs need refurb

I'm somewhat concerned by the cost of maintenance for the Trophy, but the question is how often does it need work doing? Do you folks find them to be reliable enough to not worry for a while or is there often an niggling worry that something could go wrong at any minute? Given that I won't have...

2003/03 Clio 172 Cup in Mondial Blue. 93000m with FSH, a folder full of invoices including servicing, discs and pads, KTEC cat back exhaust, braided lines, cam belt and aux belt change at 72000m. Just had new coil pack at a cost of £250+VAT. Only two owners. Refurbished alloys and good tyres...

If you buy this mag, you'll soon read that Harry's T has had re-furbed front shocks. Seems the front as "corkscrewing". One had lost it's gas the other had a slight oil leak. His cars only done 16000 miles. Am guessing a lot of those were hard miles?!

It's not what your thinking [-X [-X [-X A Crash Diet......... Seeing as it's only a track car (still drives to the tracks though) i decided that anything that could be removed was removed, i suppose i should have posted a pic, but the garage is full so most of the panels ete are just...
