Basically my Drivers-side Sachs has gone and wanted to know if you can fit the springs from the Sachs into Cup Dampers while the Sachs are off the car?? While i contemplate a refurb or see how much longer this new Damper Saga rumbles on for!!
Any information appreciated, Many Thanks!
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...
I have my Clio 182 Trophy No.440 for sale; I have owned thisfor the past 2 years and will be sad to see it go.
Genuine reason for sale as I needed something bigger that Icould get tools and bits in.
Due to me being a full time mechanic the Trophy has beenmaintained to the highest standard and...
Well, after fitting them last week, setting the front camber to -2 degrees negative on Friday and doing the Llandow trackday with CS yesterday, i can safely say that the H&R's are very worthy replacement to the Sachs.
Handling is nigh on exactly the same as the Sachs/Sportline combo that i had...
Or perhaps not.
This is a Trophy afterall ... Handling > Lowz:up:
On Sachs / Sportlines
On H&R's
Very pleased so far, ride is lovely, far better than the Sachs in fact, which would imply that they are probably a little softer. Havent really pushed it particularly hard as the camber/toe...
Interested to know how many low mileage cars are left out there.
Saw Asim's on here (25k) in the for sale section, just wondering how many more there are! and what current guise they are in (100% standard, lightly modded, highly modded?)
Seem to be a very rare breed, I keep an eye on the for...

Hey guys!
Not posted in a while, some of you know me off other forums (Probably mostly CS) I did have this black Ph1 172:

Well, it's time to clear out all of the stuff I’ve got kicking about (1 double length garage and 2x sheds worth). If you need it, chances are i've got it kicking about.
All parts are from either a Titanium Ph1 172 with 85k, a Monaco Blue Ph2 172 with 72k, a or a Titanium Silver 182 with 58k on...
The dampers came off the car to get the stock springs replaced with Sportilines and found out the right side damper wept some oil.
About 36k old, the left side one s in rock hard/perfect working order, right one s on its way to die and would definitely need a refurb.
I'm not going for a rebuilt...
Having been looking for another trophy for around a month now and there seems to be quite a few that still havent had the dampers re furbed yet.
Just wondering how many on here are still running their cars without problems?

Hi guys,
I was wondering how many of you would recommend Sportlines over the stock trophy Eibach springs.
I' d love to get some low but I'd never compromise handling for look.
cheers

i think i will be in need of some rear shocks soon.
what's your thoughts on replacements?
i was going to go for koni or original trophy sachs.
i've been quoted £113 inc vat + postage for the trophy sachs
and £93 inc vat + postage for Koni's.
i am tempted by the £40 saving from the trophy...

How much for the complete trophy suspension? Thinking of putting it on my 182 as the coilovers I have are so bad I would rather have carved my own from wood. I had a browse on the forum but was unsure what the prices are or even if anyone has a setup secondhand if they have been...
Guys,
I need your help on where to get a new coil spring for my Trophy as it has collapsed.
The MOT was last week and it failed and trying to find a coil spring is like trying to find a DoDo!!
Where can I get one? A standard one will be fine just now until I look for coilovers.
Any help...

Hi :D
Im new to the forum and have joined to gain a little knowledge from trophy owners about the car. Hope to be purchasing a Trophy at the weekend which seems like a good one but I have a few questions. How often should the dampers be refurbed? I hear £400 is the going rate? The ones done...
Well, after getting loud donging noises when maneuvering, and people on here saying the top mounts would cause it, the garage I use also confirmed this. Ktec said to use engine oil to lubricate the top mounts last week, which i did, from within the engine bay, but it made no difference. I was...
Hi , I need some help, I am just starting the refurb on 131 and actually bought it without a bloody front splitter!
Are the reno ones very expensive?
Are the skoda ones actually ok?
What do you recommend or advise?

I've two front springs 'gathering dust'. Done around 5k, been sitting in the garage for 18 months and I need to clear some space. Open to decent offers above the £100 mark, will be going on ebay in the next day or two so you've got a heads up.
Brand new, each one will set you back over £100...
Bored today and even although they seemed fine decided to take off the sach dampers to get them refurbed.
Going to drop them off to get shot blasted this week then get them painted etc then get them sent to BG motorsport.
Will put up more pics as they progress.
I'm a bit perplexed by this, within the last month or so, i've been getting loud twanging/donging noises when maneuvering. The other weekend i checked over the complete suspension, to make sure noting was loose. I found no faults, but i tried tightening the front damper assembly top nut inside...
Hi everyone,
I've just bought a Trophy with what I think are eibach proline springs fitted. Had a bit of a search but can't find a definitive answer to how these differ from the standard springs. I am tempted to revert back to the original spec.
Does anyone know the difference in specs...
Just thought I would do an update from a myself, a new owner member of a trophy re 131. Picked T up from Wales last Wednesday , first to see did buy! Great price but as always there is a snag, not deliberate by the seller more like the things to do when you get a second hand performance car! On...
