suspension

Got a couple of issues regarding the handling on my Trophy, i need to have a poke about on the ramp just haven't had a chance yet. Basically the steering feels a little sticky just either side of straight ahead, also seems to have very little self centering action, as in if you're on full lock...

http://www.k-tecracing.com/news.asp •Clio 182 Trophy for Gaz suspension kit Anyone on here? Is this the first to ditch the Sachs dampers?

Just picked it up yestersday, it involved a lift to the airport from my dad at an unholy hour, a flight from newcastle to gatwick, my mate picked me up from the airport and gave me a lift to brighton then i drove the 376 miles home in it! If you'd seen it up for sale you'll have seen it had...

So i thought i'd finally sign up here, some of you may remember this car: was the one there was a thread on here advising people not to buy it. However i did work for A/C at the and decided to take the risk to get it brought into my garage to have a good look at it and decide whether i wanted...

Anyone have them on their Trophies? I'm tempted to get some rear ARB's. Hopefully going to go with the Mark Fish sus set up at the end of the summer also. If anyone has that total combination would be good to hear your thoughts.

Sadly, due to personal circumstance No 435 is now for sale. It has done 38 200 miles and is in lovely condition, with 5 months MOT and 6 months road tax. Good bits: full service history, with auxiliary belt done at 32 000 front dampers refurbed and professionally unpinned 2000 miles ago...

Interesting article in the June magazine comparing the 200 cup and the 172 cup; 200 was 1.5 secs a lap quicker due to its "trick front suspension system and brakes" but the 172 was "more fun" ( I paraphrase). I believe Mr Metcalfe, who has some standing within said mag, owns a Trophy; I wonder...

Hi, Having just completed a 1,000 miles since buying Trophy 383 from pm_air I thought it about time I shared my initial thoughts: Having wanted a Trophy since they first came out I have to say the car is great fun and lives up to the hype. I came close to buying one new to replace my Elise...

I've had a search on the forum but managed to miss this if it's already been posted. Does anyone have the 4-wheel geometry settings for the Trophy as it rolls out of the factory at Dieppe?

I have just taken my Trophy into renault and got told my front shock drivers side has gone, now is it best to get a replacement from them or buy some new shocks? The replacement wil cost just under £1500. :(

so who's throttle bodies there T ? this is the next mod, but ill be saving the pennies for a while.

Currently thinking about buying a Clio 200. Whats the best way to know if it has the cup chassis option or not? Am I right in thinking that if it's got the anthracite wheels and the red brake calipers than it's got the sportier suspension??

Hi, Ive been reading about air filters for clio sports on web and threads on here but not sure which is best one. I currently have a itg panel filter in standard reno box. Its good and has made slight increase in engine response. But now noise. Does anyone know which is best air filter which...

Hey, Does anyone know where the cheapest place to get rear suspension for trophy part number 8200 519 954. I am finding it difficult to find someone that stocks them. jsthomson

Hi, I need both of these rear axle and front sachs passenger shock. does anyone know where to get hold of them. The shock is bent so cant send it off to bg motorsport and ben g said he could sell me a shock but needs rebuilding. Would be easier if i could get a shock which doesnt need...

After selling my Trophy back in 2009 i bought myself a Megane R26 as a replacement, from day one i never found it as exciting as the Trophy, i wasn't even excited the night before i went to pick it up! After 6 months of owning the Megane and going from days of loving the torque and the sheer...

Hi, I need new dampers on my trophy and was thinking to replace them with coil overs. I have had a look at k tec and there are a few different ones. Can anyone advise which is best replacement to sachs. I wont the car to feel same or better if possible. Ive been reading about all the problems...

Could anyone help me with this one please. What Clio Sport dampers will fit onto a Trophy. I know the 182 cup dampers will go as they have same hubs and 60mm spacing but do any other clios have same hub/damper spacing? (172, 172 cup, 182 cup suspension pack?) Before anyone asks, it's not a...

Hi, Would anyone be interested in part exchanging a Trophy for a 2006 Forester Sti? The Trophy must have low mileage, FSH and be in mint condition. The Forester has done 22k miles, FSH, has just had the 3 year service in December (all fluids, spark plugs replaced etc) and needs nothing doing. It...

Hi I am new on here and currently own trophy 128. Does anyone know what susension is on rear of the trophy. Ive heard some people say the dampers are same as clio 182 Just with different stickers. Any ideas? Joe

Think its time to sell my pride and joy and move up and on it the car world. Anyone who knows me will know this car is absolutely mint condition and if anything needed done, it was done! I drive the Trophy most days and always make sure the engine has completely warmed up before taken past...

Fitted the top mounts, camber bolts and strut brace today - geo check tomorrow, had a drive feels pretty good but who can tell on the road, track day on the 24th so that will be a good test. Thinking that the shocks might need a refurb now though, as one had a faint sign of oil mist on the base...

Hi All, Have just registered on the site and thought i'd introduce myself. I don't have a Trophy just yet but I'm looking to get one in the next few months. I'm currently driving a JDM FD2 Honda Civic Type R which I imported approx 18 months ago. The car's an absolute cracker but unfortunately...

Hi. After having my dampers done by ben at BG last month, today i noticed that there is a 5mm gap between the rubber seal/absorber? and the turret that the strut is bolted to. Pop the bonnet and the bolts are there on the top of your suspension system (not mechanically minded so bear with me!)...

So I’m sat at a junction behind a Nissan Navara who decides it would be a great idea to start reversing. Despite having my horn held on for a good few seconds he still managed to crunch the front of my Trophy... =D> Needless to say a new bonnet and bumper are required. Then to add insult to...

Took off the AV today and took some pics of the brake update (new discs, goodridge and pads - the front carbon lorraines are unreal!!). Camber bolts next, and I'm going to change the plugs I think. It's still chilly by the way..... :D

I have my 123d for sale on pistonheads and would be interested in taking a trophy as part exchange if anyone is interested in my car. Link - http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/1510085.htm Thanks guys :)
