One of the coil springs has broken at the front of the 182 Trophy and i was punching my head with what i was going to do as the OE Renault ones are £150 a spring.
Just called Mark Fish and ordered a full spring kit for the 182 Trophy.
Has anyone got this spring kit on there car and if so what...
I've got a yozza decat fitted, and for the last few weeks its been sounding abit rough; a fizzy blowing noise underneath the gear stick area. Only really happenens when the exhaust is under load, i.e in fith gear, going slow and foot to the floor.
Just had it serviced and they have adivised me...
Hi guys
I have got some Eibach Sportlines on mine but it seems more people are changing the springs on the Trophy. Anyone got any good recommendations? .. I have even heard the soft dare i say Apex have even had good reviews on the Trophy dampers.
Cheers for spring or damper related info...
Okay so I decided not to renew the tax on my T at the end of October as i'm anticipating another horrendous winter with bucket loads of salt being spread on the roads. Not a great thing to have plastered all over my lovely refurbished sachs dampers :)
So I SORN'd my T online and it's kept off...
I am soon to fit some eibach sportlines to the Trophy. I know that this will affect the geometry somewhat so i was going to book it in to have a wheel alignment, but do i need camber correcting bolts as it is being lowered?
Cheers

I recently bought some port matched inlets butbefore fitting I spent hours polishing up the out side before fitting. I complemented this with a polished strut brace that really doesn't offer much in way of performance increase but unlike the way it looks.
Also did my own tacho change by buying...
I have an issue with my trophy's suspension set up. I adore the sash dampers they are very well build and have a good amount of adjustability but are lacking adjustable spring seat platforms. I feel when the car is on track it needs to be lower at the front and the back but mostly the back.

Due to a change in financial circumstances :( I'm taking the rather hard decision to suspend my insurance policy (a huge cost for me being 20) and lay #110 up until maybe spring or early summer next year. That way I'll be saved from renewing my insurance again in June as I can potentially...
Hi, I'm in need of a standard Trophy rear spring for my car ASAP. I'll buy a pair at the right price as I doubt anyone selling them would want one odd one left.
Also after either a good standard cat back exhaust section or possibly a used s/s system.
If you can help, give me a ring on...
Guys, your thoughts on the below please..

Right ho,
Currently in a bit of a weird place re: the suspension on my Trophy. Front dampers have been refurbed, & the rears are also only 18 months old, so its a great setup, with plenty of life left in it ...
However, on track, its not quite low/stiff/adjustable enough, so my plan is/was to...
just taken the T for its MOT and was gutted to realise it had failed on a broken rear spring :( just the point on the end of the bottom coil. Rang my local Renault dealer up for a price and was told that my car had the 'Extreme Pack' on it, and it would be £138+vat #-o . Now i have 2 questions...
Fitted new springs the other day and noticed that the top and bottom rubber mounts on the rear were quite worn.
Is there any other option available apart from rubber?
If not is there any cheaper alternative other than renault? (quoted £52 each from stealers!!!)
I assume if these are worn that...
Only purchased last week. Was going to fit them at the time my dampers were off for the refurb but had to get the car back on the road quicker then planned meaning I decided not to fit these.
As the photo shows, slight mark to the top of one of the mounts but it's only light. That was from a...
The joint at the back of my cat (towards the rear) has cracked. :(
Is this an easy fix or new cat jobby?
ALso there is no clamp on this joint, it looks like there should be one there? :idea:
I'm just after numbers here of people who want the Eibach Sportline springs which I have spoken directly to Eibach in Germany about and they are exactly what Mark Fish supplies.
I've had these fitted to my Clio Trophy demo car along with our rear camber shims and custom rear Koni's and if you...
Trophy went for a MOT test yesterday. It passed but i got an advisory on one of the front dampers. Tester said there is slight misting from top of damper/bottom of spring, running part way down the damper and dust is sticking to it!
Hasn't affected the ride or handling so may have only...
Looks like the MSA are trying to ban STM's from the Production Class. I know that Shiftspark has already run into this problem, but this seems to be a concerted effort. The proposed rule changes are badly written, so any of you licence holders who would like to join the objections, there is a...
HEllo...
Just need some help on a spring choice for the trophy... I have just sent my dampers off for a refurb And got some new rear dampers to. During all this I noticed I had a snapped spring, so before the dampers come back I need to get some springs... After Reading loads of threads I'm...
Evening, my dampers were serviced and re-gased in June last year on 22,000 miles. I have now done 28,000.
Recently i have been noticing that when i go over speed bumps or any tiny pot-hole I am getting a knocking sound when the suspension compresses on the left hand side front.
I have just had...

My 04 182 is going in for MOT work tomorrow and one of the rear coil springs is broken, renault asked if it has the cup suspenton or not? how do i tell??? as the 182 spring is £85 and the cup spring is £160 my car is a straight 182 as far as i know, no stripes, half leather. headlight washers...
Over the last few weeks I've noticed a noise coming from the front right of the car when I'm turning in to the left. I wouldn't describe it as a 'knock', it's more of a 'whump-whump-whump' if that makes any sense (it does in my head at least).
My first instinct was a wheel bearing on it's way...
