shocks

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...

Looking for a good Trophy, so for sale is my Clio 197, details below.... 2008 - 197FF - Cup Pack (Shocks, Springs, Red Brembos etc) Black Speedline alloys with 4 good PZero tyres. Electric folding mirrors, sunglasses holder, Renault Tune point Glacier White Recaros - Re-trimmed on...

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'm after a set if anyone knows of any or if someeone can tell me where to get them new?

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'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...

Just checking on here before I buy new of Mark Fish, if anyone has any give us a shout:up:

Just got this little lot,from BG and the local dealer.Its the credit card that's gone to the max :p Note the new type fitting?no more schrader valve. Modified spring platform to allow the crud out,gone from a 6mm single hole to 3 8mm holes Those clever frenchies have put their parts...

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 all, As per title, money waiting.

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 "These will NOT be...

As above really desperate to get the car back on the road. Need a front spring asap if anyone has one spare they wish to sell to me :D

What kind of springs work best with the Sachs apart from the standard ones? Looking to go for stiffer springs but don't want to wreck the dampers in the process. Thanks.

Looking to freshen the rear end up so rear "Renault Sport" badge came off. Now with having the New "RS 200" badge im in two minds on what side to have it. Badge Off New Badge On (ONLY DSTUCK WITH MASKING TAPE FOR TESTING)

Hi guys. my n/s/r shocker has failed and lost all its fluid. would you recommend a refurb or replacement?? i recently called Renault to get one but they don't seem to be able to price me up the correct Sachs damper. the car is really bad to drive at the moment. thanks for looking

Hi all, looking to join the most discerning of hot hatchers and have £5k with which to do so. Must have had dampers and belts done and be on no more than 60, 000 miles. I'm in London but will travel.

Hi guys, Picking up #355 next week and will be my second trophy. It will be a second car for me so not a daily. I want it to be setup the best way possible. Shall I keep it standard in terms of springs etc? I've heard good things in terms of Mark fish, Cooksport, whiteline arb. Are these...

Hi, I collected my new trophy yesterday (437) and the rear dampers have been changed by one of the previous owners to the normal 182's. I am wanted to go back to the original Sachs ones. Can you still buy new rear Sachs dampers from renault or will I have to hunt else where? Thanks.

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...

Guy, Most T's have aftermarket filters, exhaust systems, braided lines & a few other bits as we all know. Now as standard im getting quotes of £600 which is fine, but declaring an air filter mod alone comes out at £900!!! Wtf!? I cannot find a standard T. What to do?

Haven't been on here for some time, had a mooch about but no signs of any new dampers around so thought i'd come right out with it. My passenger side has lost its gas for the second time after a rebuild and I remember there was someone on here selling new ones from a Renault dealer for real good...

Hi everyone, I've been thinking about getting a trophy for the past two or three months now and I'm finally in a position where I can buy one, only thing is the price seems to have risen by about a grand on average for them. I was wondering if there prices fluctuate like this normally or if...

Clio Trophy Springs complete set. £80 ono Done less than 10,000 miles in excellent condition. Rear Sachs Dampers good condition done under 30,000 miles £70 ono Collection from Chandler's Ford, Hampshire. Delivery £10-£15

Hi guys i have found 387 at a local garage, she has 70k on the the clock and is advertised at £4850, i have asked about the dampers and the garage owner has said he has no paperwork on them! disks and pads look very tired. There is a small rust spot on the bonnet but other than that she looks...

Following on from some other topics and comments regarding Sachs and rebuilds, has anyone changed the Sachs for something else, if so what are the options? I know the Sachs are the selling point of the Trophy, but as there is a lack of new stock and the refurbs do not seem to last I am...

Been looking at Trophy's for a while and think i've found a bargain only issue is it needs the dreaded front shoxs and a timing belt. I've done a little reading and can anyone clarify if new shocks are available? I know i'm looking at around 500-800 for rebuild and looking at say 400 for timing...

Bought from Renault last month for my Clio Trophy while my Sachs were being refurbed. Used for 1 tank of fuel tops, so as new! After £90 posted (Glasgow area for pick up) Will get some pics up tomorrow! Mike

Just just a heads up to say that RUK are placing orders with both sachs and speed line. Spoke to my RUK advisor today and she has told me that they have placed an order of 48 speed line wheels to be held in UK stock. I have also asked about the sachs stickers on the shocks once again and she...

Hi, my trophys on 31k and had the front dampers refurbished a few months ago by bg motorsport. The car is on mark fish springs with koni rear dampers. Ever since i got the dampers refurbished the springs creak "as if ur hearing them compress" when braking hard and then when u let off the...
