suspension

Hi all, I currently drive a DC5 which I'll shortly be selling. One of my reasons for selling is the suspension which, though wonderful on smooth roads, is an absolute nightmare on my daily commute due to the quality of the roads near me. After 18months of ownership I'm ready to move on. I...

Is it just a case of pulling those black rubber clip thingys out? Can I re-use them? Had a bit of a poke around but didn't try very hard to be honest, ended up cleaning up the suspension a bit, rest needs a clean though! I had a small accident (70mph motorway accident) a few weeks ago and all...

civic type R Golf GTi?? R26r (personal choice)

Hi chaps I wonder if anyone can advise me; I have my old standard exhaust, sawn off in order to be removed. It's fairly rusty, but I guess may have some life left in it.. Is it worth trying to sell, or simply worthy of scrap? Cheers

I've had my Trophy for over 3 years now and I love it, it's the longest I've kept a car out of choice (I once had a 106 diesel for a lot longer when I was a poor student). When I'm being sensible I plan on keeping it forever as I truely think it will be a special motor in years to come, I...

Ok, there's good news and bad news. I'll start with the good, so I can delay the inevitable lol. I LOVE these tyres. I fitted them at the beginning of December. I've used them through snow, ice, rain, you name it. They start well from cold for a track tyre. A bit of wheel spin in snow and ice...

is there much diffence between Mark Fish bolt in suspension mounts vs ktr top mounts

Hi everyone, looking for some advice.... My 43k trophy has been an absolute joy to own for the past year and a half although i am now beginning to wonder if something is up with it. When im driving along at normal speeds there seems to be a bit more play around the straight ahead when i wigle...

For sale my Racing Blue Gordini 182 cliosport with both cup packs, I am a cliosport enthusiast registered on the cliosport.net owners club, this colour is very rare hard to get hold of in both packs, by far the best colour to have a cliosport in, pictures do not do it justice, real head turner...

I know a few of you are into it on here, I was wondering if any one can suggest any decent routes around the Lakes. I've been to Ambleside for a walking holiday but never MTB up there... Any thoughts!? Cheers!

Been looking around for a cheap decent condition 172/182 Cup lately and this seems the best I can find so far - http://pistonheads.co.uk/sales/1405221.htm Just wondering what you guys think of the price/spec etc as i've never owned a clio before myself. It has had the belts changed recently and...

Random question... How often do you carry more then 2 people in your T? Maximum people I carry is 3 as the leg room is non existent behind the driver and I don't think anyone would want to sit in the back on top of the Orb! But I also remember seeing a photo a few years back of someones rear...

recently been to look at a black clio 182 2005, i liked the car so gave the deposit to secure the car. the dealer said it had the trophy pack added on, which he said was suspension spoiler and wheels, the car does not have the recaro sport seats. i was just wondering if it is possiable to have a...

Over on www.evo.co.uk they're running a car of the decade competition. I'm jumping the gun slightly but 2005 should be coming up (possibly on Xmas day at the current rate) and hopefully we'll get a chance to vote for the Trophy :lol:

Would it be an idea to flag up any Trophys spotted / for sale without Sachs Dampers? I've heard some cavalier views about the dampers and fitting coilovers instead. Maybe a register of Trophy horrors.

Right this is really doing my head in!!!! over the past month or so I have this knocking coming from the rear....I have removed and refitted the rear konis god knows how many times, tried different settings. Had a look at the exhaust to see if its touching anywhere, checked the bumper etc etc...

Any good?

Hi all, After picking up the Trophy about 2 weeks ago now, I've finally had time to start a Trophy #383 thread after driving with a :mrgreen: everywhere So here are some pics that I took when I first got the car home: then I gave the car a good wash/wax after coming back from Sherbourne...

:( called to ask what the deal was, and it was binned, also for sale the dampers and spolier. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/RENAULT-CLIO-182- ... _500wt_956 http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/RENAULT-CLIO-182- ... _500wt_956

To make room for this: :twisted:

The time has come for me to part company with my Trophy, No 084. It has been great fun owning it and it's certainly an absorbing car to drive. However a shiny black 350z has seduced me into the world of rwd. :D Here are the details: 2005/05 29500 miles Full service history Just had Full...

Where are the deals to be had on PE2's at the moment? Need two new fronts, definately noticed the wear today on the wet greasy surfaces!! :shock:

I've just bought a clio 182 ff with cup wheels and spoiler kit, but the previous owner did not know if it had cup suspension. Can anybody please tell me how to check or what the difference between the two are? Many Thanks

.........seems to worse when manouvreing along my road in the mornings but not 100% sure what it is! Suspension still feels tight to an extent (although paranoid shocks need refurb), thought it may be a rear bearing? Any ideas?

Hi, Has anyone fitted an LSD to there 182? or any other type of diff. Would it be worth fitting an LSD to a 182? Imagine an LSD on a trophy! putting its power down! 8)

Hey guys, im looking to buy a cliosport but cant decide whether to get a 182 Cup or pay a bit more for a Trophy. Any advice? Cheers

Which one would I be best off buying? I don't do many miles as I work away so I drive mainly at weekends. So it got me thinking a diesel might probably cost more than a petrol. But the diesel cupra has sooooo much torque! But I have heard they can torque steer out of corners! Which could be a...
