springs

where should i place the axel stands to take my wheels off to clean them. A picture would be most helpful

Just recently my T has started making a few knocks and bangs, I have (what sounds like) the exhaust banging against the bumper when I go over any uneven road surface - but I don't think it is this due to the exhaust not moving much when you push it. Will have to investigate more! But I was...

Or is it ok or is higher octane ron best?

Hello all, Just registered with the forum to do a little research on the Trophy. I currently need to free up a little cash for a new house so need to sell my car. I love driving and trackdays so want something fun and exciting to park in the garage for when the mood takes me. I don't do many...

Hello everyone, Just wondering how the trophy compares to the civy type r ep3. Sat in a ep3 yesterday and I was really impressed. I went on fast laps to compare the two and the pre facelift ep3 was faster than a T round Rockingham by 0.4 seconds. But Iknow that fast laps...

...........unsure if it is my imagination but my Trophy appears to be lower on the front than the back when parked and thinking the worst about front dampers. Had recent MOT and no problems whatsoever, no leaks from the dampers and the 'gap' on both sides feel ok. Is it just my paranoya (sorry...

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, Does the trophy have the cup chassis that the 182 cup has? And my final question is would it be possible to mod a standard or cup 182 to a trophy? Or would that be a waste of time and money? Thanks

does anyone know the length of the dampers ? (with springs if that makes any difference), i need to send mine off for a refurb next week and i'm looking for a good box at work to put them in? cheers/

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...

.........this is going to be my first 'hands on' job on the T. Any idea if this is a relatively straight forward job? Out of interest, does anyone know if the calipers are slide in/out or twist in /out? Looking for the best setup for fast road use and 'occasional' track use. Many Thanks

All parts covered approx 40k miles. 2 x front springs: offers 1x rear spring £60 1 x rear damper £50

Hi I have for sale the above parts. These have been on the car since april this year and are like new. If you are looking to improve the car these are fantastic , combine these with -2' negative camber and its the best mod you can do to the Trophy! These cost £411 will accept £365 collected or...

Hiya all, am looking for a set of these as my next compromise road tyre. I am having a hard time finding them in Trophy size, any tips? Camskills do them but are out of stock ATM. Cheers,

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 :? :? ...

Anyone know what the coulour of the standard springs were for the trophy when they were new? cheers phillip

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...

Two cracking results for Renault, Trophy came joint 7th with Ferrari F50 and R26.R 4th! One bug-bear i have though is they talk about a 'layer of squidge' in the Trophy's suspension leading to it not feeling very honed and taught, and i quote 'ooldes of pitch and roll'... WTF!! I put it to them...

Parked up outside tenpin bowling in Chelmsford with reg HV55N**. I was a bit drunk so i got quite excited :? It definately looked like it had been lowered too 8)

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

PLEASE Don't hate me for asking this BUT.........I am wanting to get my dampers serviced as I have gone passed the 36k mark long ago! But also while doing this I would like to get new dampers on the rear (koni) and also get some Mark Fish springs. How much would I be looking at spending to get...

Hi everyone, Just thought I'd come on and say Hi while I'm looking at 182's and Trophys as my next car. I'm a regular on the RenaultSport forum so i'm sure some of you will know me from there. Andy

Hi all Ive just recently fitted a cat-back RS192 and ever since the engine doesnt run properly when cold. At 1000-2000 revs when gently accelerating i.e. 10-20% throttle it pops and farts and doesnt want to go at all, but when the revs get up to 3ishk and above it springs back into life. this...

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, It's the for me that we all hate and that's insurance renewal time :( Also i need some new front tyres as mine are just over the legal limit. I wanted to know who everyone recommends for insurance, i'm not using the car for track days or anything and it doesn't have any...

Please can someone explain to me why the Bilstein B14 Coilovers wont fit the 182 Cup/Trophy. I may be reading this wrong but the site reads: 'Renault Clio 172 (inc. Cup) and 182 (non-Cup/Trophy)' That to me says they will not fit the Trophy, but why ...

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...
