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...
Hello all! After a flirtation with a 182 some time ago I have decided it is time to investigate the best of the breed and have just become the new owner of Trophy #051.
Seemingly the first item I will need to attend to is a refurb of the distinctly tired Sachs dampers and have already spoken...
My boot lid keeps dropping when open so I ordered some replacement gas struts.
I ordered using my reg number but seem to have received just standard 182 struts as they are too long.
The supplier says they are correct for the car but if I give him a part number he will look at it. Can anyone...
I'm Selling My 182 Trophy due to having a new baby and need something bigger, it's No 37/500 it has 1 previous owner, I bought it in Sept 2008 from allvehicles.co.uk it had done 55k, it's now just under 93k. Since I've had it its been well cared for garaged and used weekends, regularly cleaned...
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.
Hi all,
Took my car for a power run today to see where the clio was at. I know you need to take the results with a pinch of salt but would appreciate anybodys view on whether or not the car is there or there abouts where it should be given its age and milage.
Right the car has done 81000...
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...
I'm due to be changing my rear discs. I have bought standard ones with the abs ring and bearing already attached. Are these still just a simple swap like the front ones would be, or is there a little more to it when the bearing and abs ring is involved?
Thanks.
Hi, I recently purchased my trophy and it came with a scorpion 192 exhaust on it, however it seemed a bit squint so I had a play around under the car and the centre section mount has gone and there is only one on the rear. I bought new ones the same as 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.
Hi guys.
I'm contemplating some decent coilovers for my RS Twingo but have a question or two...
The Twingo is based on the Mk2 Clio platform, with the rear beam axle having the usual clio style seperate springs and dampers. Front suspension is set to similar angles as the Trophy and shares...
Hi all
Looking at getting an RS Tuner but a bit boggled by which one to go for given all the options that are available!
I think I’d only need the 98 RON map, the diagnostic/code clearer function and possibly the ability to purchase a couple of future maps in the future.
Could anyone steer...
Hi, I'll be taking home my trophy very shortly. The one I'm buying has cloth rear seats that don't match the fabric of the rest of the car what so ever. However I've noticed in pictures on here that some people have some that match the recaros. Just wondered if it is meant to have matching rear...
Hi all I'm about to swap my standard inlet upper and lower manifolds for all the hunky dorey port polished etc and enlarged throttle body but was just wondering how much work is involved in the lower manifold to swap? I know the upper one is easy as I do plugs alot, also if I'd need any new...

Sadly, the time has come to sell my Trophy. I've been offered a company car and it's makes too much financial sense to accept and I can't justify keeping the Trophy as well.
It's currently just ticked over 61,000 miles and it's probably one of the...
I know this is a much discussed thread and I’ve trawled through the searches, but anyway I’m still undecided...
My front pads are nearing the time to be replaced at the moment I've got the Standard Renault discs and pads.

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!?
