suspension

My Sachs have now been rebuilt at a cost of £583.20 (inc VAT) by BG Motorsport. A brilliant service, very quick turnaround and smiles all round. However, I am a little frustrated with Renault. Clearly, when deciding how to see off the 182 they saw 1000 or so Sachs suspension units and...

Are they any good in the corners compared to the T? I was all over him just pootling really and he was having a hard time going straight (was damp/wet). So much so I thought I would leave him to it.

Finally got around to fitting this after having it stashed away for 20 months :oops: What a fecking fag, more of a wrestling match to be honest. Anyway it's now wedged in but I'd appreciate a look at anybody who's got one fitted at the ND as I'm not totally happy with it's position. Pretty...

Hello Guys joined up after seeing the sticker in the back of my new trophy i picked up from Ely just over a week and a half ago. Who ever used to have it must be on here and must have looked after it , its tip top and i love it , i have had lots of cards , turbo non turbo vxr's and this is well...

Hi, has anyone got any pointers on what I may need to look out for since the car is now in its mid years, I've owned my 440 since Sept 2006, 44k miles, always looked after by a renault dealer, all standard apart from the footwell mats, next big thing will be the cam & aux belts to do next...

Well after much deliberation I have decided not to sell my car and can't see me ever doing so........... http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2 ... =806060124 Hope the links to these pics show you how much I've been having with him. LOL :)

I'm currently having my dampers refurbished and had a snapped spring so I'm looking at getting some alternatives as replacements from Renault are a shocking price. I was recommended the Sportline Springs by Yozzasport but some other people think they will lower the car by up to 50mm?! Has...

A couple of people have had a look at my car,as they believe that the drop-link/anti-roll bar? bush has perished on the driver's side. and as a result when the car is driven, there is a loud creaking noise whenever the steering wheel is turned. We've had a feel around, and where the anti-roll...

Hiya all, am looking for a set of these as my next compromise road tyre. I am having a hard time finding them in Trophy size, any tips? Camskills do them but are out of stock ATM. Cheers,

Hi all, Needin to get ma Sachs re-furbed but need car every day for work so am lookin for replacement suspension for it while i get this done. Cant seem to find Koni's to fit.... Bilstein quoted me £1000 and told me that the trophy had a megane front axle which i've not heard before :? :? ...

I'm thinking of getting something RWD to replace my Trophy perhaps an Elise or VX220 but can anyone make any other suggestions or have they had any experience with either car? Thanks. :)

Curiosity got the better of me so I decided to strip down my spare damper to see the inner workings and also see if I could find out why it had gone ‘soft’. I really had no idea what to expect as ive never seen the insides of a Remote Reservoir Damper before but I did have a picture in my head...

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170371809467&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT wondering if anyone on here bought these...? obivously hes coppied the pictures from the french "extras" catalogue for the 182, where we already know the trophy suspension was offered as an extra. i sent...

Two cracking results for Renault, Trophy came joint 7th with Ferrari F50 and R26.R 4th! One bug-bear i have though is they talk about a 'layer of squidge' in the Trophy's suspension leading to it not feeling very honed and taught, and i quote 'ooldes of pitch and roll'... WTF!! I put it to them...

Dealers seem to be heavily discounting the 200 CUP... Lookers Chelmsford have a new one with 1mile on the clock in blue, reduced from £15750 to £12,995. This might be of particular interest to you Rich :wink:

PLEASE Don't hate me for asking this BUT.........I am wanting to get my dampers serviced as I have gone passed the 36k mark long ago! But also while doing this I would like to get new dampers on the rear (koni) and also get some Mark Fish springs. How much would I be looking at spending to get...

time may be up for #356 just recently got married and possibly 356 may now be a little to small for our needs. The wife has her heart set on me getting a 330CI or 330 convertible, cos it looks "posh", and i was thinking of going for a 230 R26. BUT....... the question I want to throw out there...

Hi everyone, Just thought I'd come on and say Hi while I'm looking at 182's and Trophys as my next car. I'm a regular on the RenaultSport forum so i'm sure some of you will know me from there. Andy

Hi guys im in need of some advice, my trophy suspension is causing me some concern, on the o/s front of the car the suspension seems to be have a lot more play then the n/s , i've had a look and can't see any fluid but does this sound like the shock could be shot? the car has only done 23,000 so...

i was having a chat with some of the lads at work about cars and one of the new guys at work is getting picked up from his brother who has an evo vi tommi makinen in silver, i asked if he could take us out in it as i was thinking of getting one so me mate a work rang up his bro and asked for me...

Ive put together some theory questions, see how well you do... :) Ill be honest, when I was reading through the book there was one or two of the following questions I didnt know. (1) A pelican crossing that crosses the road in a STRAIGHT line and has a central island MUST be treated as…...

HI all, It's the for me that we all hate and that's insurance renewal time :( Also i need some new front tyres as mine are just over the legal limit. I wanted to know who everyone recommends for insurance, i'm not using the car for track days or anything and it doesn't have any...

Please can someone explain to me why the Bilstein B14 Coilovers wont fit the 182 Cup/Trophy. I may be reading this wrong but the site reads: 'Renault Clio 172 (inc. Cup) and 182 (non-Cup/Trophy)' That to me says they will not fit the Trophy, but why ...

Hi all Thought I would get registered on hereas i am looking for a Clio Trophy I currenty drive a Mountune performance tuned Fiesta ST500 (even though it didnt stay looking likea ST500 for long) Are ther eany certain things I shoud be looking out for if I actually find a minter for sale? I...

I have a week of work soon, so I was thinking of getting the front dampers refurbished. However, having seen a new suspension setup on another car (more in a minute), I want to do some suspension mods at the same time. Ok, in my opinion, The car is far too soft, more so at the rear. This is...

Looks like KTR have designed some new STM's http://www.k-tecracing.com/show_product.asp?id=2847&pic=1 Similar to the other ones they used to sell but actually bolt through the turrent. They should be a good improvement over the others. However, I think if I was going to buy STM's which...

Short story, my clio has bankrupt me and i need to fix it before i sell it in order to sort out my finances. Damn i miss driving it though, this is the first time i've not driven it for more than 2 days since i got it 13k miles ago :( Long story: I loved trophies when they were released but was...

Hey All, Looking to get another set of wheels for the Trophy and surprised at the range of offset's used for the Clio, using this site for reference: http://www.alloyguide.com/Renault.php it looks like any offset from 35 - 38, but the standard Trophy rims being 45 does that mean we can use any...
