suspension

Hi all My Trophy came with a spare pair of Koni rear dampers which are obviously used, but seem in fair enough condition. I want to go about fitting them in the next week or so, but have realised that they are slightly different to eachother and wanted to get the group's thoughts on how to move...

Shame about the incorrect photo........

Hello all, I'm slowly bit by bit getting round to all the things I wanted to check/change on the T. My question today is about bushes and mounts. I'm sure one of them (at least) needs changing but I have no idea what types there are. Bushes, engine mounts, dogbone etc. Any good guide on what...

Sachs Rear Shocks I have done the following work (All pictures below) but i need to know is when you buy the sach you get the rubber mount at the bottom of the shock where the bolt goes through and also does the bump stop with the metal cap at the top come with the shock ?

Just started to notice this more recently. It's not really apparent at speed, only occasionally showing itself but at low speed going over speed bumps and the like there's an obvious creak/crash from the front left of the car. It's definitely the left as I've made sure to go over speed bumps...

Just noticed this recently, I've had to do a few full lock turns (or near full lock) and there's been a slight juddering. It come's through the steering wheel but feels suspension related. Anyone got any ideas? I can't remember from my previous T, but is this normal with the sachs? Cheers

Hi Guys, Picked up #126 just the other week. Previously owned a 172 PH2 in Oz before with mild mods, and now that i'm in the UK thought i'd go back to where it all started. Always wanted a Trophy and now the dream has been realised. As far as modifications previous owner installed a...

Hi, I have an annoying low droning sound that seems to be coming from the rear of the car. It is linked to roadspeed not engine speed, and raises in pitch with speed, but then beyond 40mph seems to stay at the same level. Everything you read about suggests rear wheel bearings, but there is...

Hi - probably a dumb question, but if I want to get #478 feeling as "new" as I can, and i'm already all-in for a BG damper refurb, assume it makes sense to do the rears as well. Original sachs rears seem to be £105 as well - questions are: - Just the shocks, or make sense for Springs as well...

Hi - my dampers due to go in at BG on October 31st. Getting the struts power coated too. It's expensive enough already (and have been happily buying other bits for my new car without keeping an eye on what i'm spending!) - and adds another £170 to the bill. Has anyone done this, and if you...

So, my dampers are well and truly in need of a refurb :( Whilst they're off the car, I thought I might as well collect some bits to give the suspension a bit of an overhaul / refresh. I'll be replacing the steering rack bushes, ARB bushes, track rod arms and boots, track rod ends, lower...

when i got my trophy i had rear cup suspension on mines and thinking of changing to koni's would i benefit from these on the road if i was to put these on. probs never going to track it so just a thought of putting them on. thanks in advance

Ok its silly question time.. Do the Trophys come with Xenon lights as standard. If not, how easy is it to change them over .? Ta.

Hi. Im just wondering a few things. On my car I have a set of Mark Fish springs. The car came with them fitted. I also got the standard springs as part of the deal. Without changing them around, can somebody tell me,, Are the MF springs shorter an stiffer than he standard ones.? If so, how...

Since I withdrew from sale in 2011 (previous thread here with further details), #167 has done another 10K quick and reliable miles. Still puts a smile on my face with every drive and I hope it goes to a good home. Selling because we now have 2 other cars and the Trophy is not getting used...

Just been to Mark Fish to investigate a noise i had on the car. Turns out it was worn diff bearings. Cue engine and gearbox out, suspension off exhaust off. rebuild diff and gearbox. new clutch, new belts and pulleys etc. im gonna be brassic this month. any spare change?

Hi, this is what i currently run with some thoughts on changes; JMS RS2 with upgraded engine mounts ( probably replace with standard and get updated map ) upgraded dogbone and gearbox mounts. fully polybushed all round. whiteline rear arb. standard suspension all round with refurbed front sachs...

Ok on the front suspension there's a red dial you can twist what is this for?

new to the forum and currently driving/selling my beloved mk5 golf gti edition 30 fully built by REVO to stage 2 334hp 341ftlb, I would post a link to my build thread but not if it doesn't comply with forum rules and I don't want to annoy the admin/mods just yet Cut a long story short me and...

Hi guys, sad to say its time to sell the Trophy as new job means I need a more economical car for motorway driving. I have plenty of garage space so I'm in no rush to sell. The car is in mint condition with Wheels refurbed, front bumper and bonet being resprayed early this year. The Belts were...

Hey! New to this site, I got referred from Cliosport.net. I have been looking for a Trophy for a while now unfortunately I have missed a few good ones. I want to find a nice example that I can add to a collection, it will eventually end up on display in our showroom. Therefore I want a car...

Hi, Does anyone know this car...

Hey. I'm a previous Trophy owner (#488) but sold that in order to help fund wedding/house purchase etc. I'm now in the position that I would like to buy another. I currently have a BMW 1 Series diesel for my commute to work however my plan maybe to get rid of that and use the Trophy as a daily...

Hi guys, My name is Vincent and I'm from France (Toulouse for people who knows). I have no RenaultSport Clio for the moment but I am born with the Renault Sport virus. In fact, my father owns a Super 5 GT Turbo and also a R5 Turbo 2 ;) Me, I drive a Megane 2.0 16V and I refurbish a R11 Turbo...

looks tidy, accept it has 0 seats and cup pack and cup suspension :S http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2005-RENAULT-CLIO-2-0-16V-Renaultsport-182-Trophy-3dr-/231244852699?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item35d7446ddb

Hi Guys I infected with the Trophy-virus since the T came out. As you know buying a T was impossible in Germany. So since I purchased my full fat and cup packed 182 in 2008 with 15.000miles on the clock I was looking for a proper T-Sachs-Suspension. I bought one in December 2013 and sent it...

RenaultSport 182 Trophy, 248/500 £5250 Currently on 54K but as it is my daily will probably increase by about 300 miles each week. This is my main reason for selling, can no longer justify the fuel costs versus the enjoyment factor as it is now purely an A to B car for me. Comes with...
