As promised i have a few photos of before and after of the dampers once shot blasted and sprayed.
If anyone else is thinking of doing this then from my own experiences i would suggest you look into building up the lost material once the rust and corrosion has been removed, the guy who done mine...
Righto, my front sachs started leaking so i've removed them from the car, sent them off to BG to be stripped, they've sent them back to me to be blasted and coated then i'm sending them back for refitting. While that's being done i'm working on the rest of the susp.
Removed the arch liners and...

I'm sure most of you attempt or have attempted to carry out work on your own car before, mechanical minded or not. I for one have very little experience working on cars but can't resist having a go with a 'how hard can it be attitude'. As of yet I haven't caused any major damage (touch wood)...
Essentially, on Saturday, somebody parked their rather clean looking Trophy in our car park next to mine, the gf noticed & said, 'that red clio's really nice'. After then explaining to her that it was a Trophy, just like mine, & that under all the dirt, they were both exactly the same colour ...

Tonight I was looking at my Trophy and something wasn't right with the stance, jacked it up to find the driver side front spring broken. Somehow it had managed to break and go under the upper half??? So the car sits higher on that side now :?
Before I phone Renault tomorrow I was considering...
Hi Guys, I know some of this has been covered in other topics but I'm trying to bring it all together and get peoples views.
As my dampers are going away soon to be rebuilt and depinned, I was wondering about the rest of the suspension setup.
What kind of things have you guys done to sharpen up...

As above.
In 205 Gti's it is something that needs to be done at some point as the trailing arms wear out where the bearings sit, as a result they pit and you get negative camber and the beam is not workign as it should.
I know the design between the 2 cars is different though as the 205...
OK, so last night i got the Geo done by a mates garage. Yes, they are a bodyshop, but when you are the authorised repairer for Lotus, Aston, Ferrari, Lamborghini & Pagani, you probably know how to set up a clio lol ...
So, effectively, since we fitted the front suspension, the Toe has been out...
Hi,
I test drove a Megane 250 Cup and Clio Sport 200 back to back today and I can't decide which is better.
The car will mainly be a daily driver with occasional trackday use.
The handling of both is great but the Megane might be a better car to live with day to day (if only it looked better)...
Hi, just bought 426, and pretty sure the drivers shock needs refurbing, bit of bounce and very crashy. will get refurbed, but my question is, I need to use the car (looking for number 2 vehicle at the mo) am I ok to use the trophy in the meantime? Or will this further add to the shock damage and...
Just got myself a Trophy which has the Mark fish springs and koni rear shocks. Have played around with the settings on the shocks and as recommended elsewhere on here have set the rears at 1 and a quarter off full soft and the fronts at 22 clicks. I do a lot of road miles and am finding the...

Am soon to be the owner of number 25 - next week! It'll be used as a daily driver and I'm looking forward to doing a few sprints and hillclimbs with it as well. Nothing too serious, it's just nice to give it some proper exercise occaisonally. Previous owner has done a great job in doing (as far...
Ok, so i dont normally whore, but thanks to James (JMS) and Mike (FailSport) last night, the TroFail is now finished. I'm sure a few of you will have read my project thread, & i'll update that with more info than in here, but chuffed isnt the word, it drives brilliantly & looks ruddy lovely imho...

Just woundered wat peoples views are on turbo trophy?
(Just to add there is nothing wrong with the...
What is a trophy worth in bits? The car in question is completely standard with engine failure
Dampers are fine, one wheel has a kerb mark that I can see and the mileage is 65-70k miles.
I'm informed the gearbox is fine and the recaro's are in mint condition, any help is appreciated
Hi all,
My partner has opted for self employment and as I have not used my car since September, I am looking to sell my Trophy to cover the everyday bills. As you will see below, the car has never gone short. I am in two minds about selling it and will be genuinely sad to see it go.
Car &...
Hi Guys,
Was looking into getting all my dampers refurbed but dont know where to go?
I hear everyone going on about "BG motorsport" but i live about 400 miles away in Dunfermline. Is there anywhere in Scotland that has the same reputation for this kind of work?
Cheers,

Hi all.
I have recently fitted some Eibach sportline springs to my trophy. Now when i am approaching or on full lock when manoeuvering the top mounts are clonking away like a good'un? It used to make the noise every now and then before i put them on but no way near as much as it is now...
