suspension

Have been saving up for a while and buying parts on the cheap when they became available. Today is the day the car has gone into the garage for a front end 'refresh'. Have opted for Lemforder ball joints (last ones were cheaper alternatives), new genuine front bearings, complete top mount kits...

Hi everyone, I've just bought a Trophy with what I think are eibach proline springs fitted. Had a bit of a search but can't find a definitive answer to how these differ from the standard springs. I am tempted to revert back to the original spec. Does anyone know the difference in specs...

Well what a bloody find. Please read carefully and then read at the bottom of the pictures !! It states in the letter that this is a one off but dont worry as im on teh case to get a pile of stickers for a few people as even on the phone a RUK manager has told me that...

Mark Fish springs/rear Koni owners What’s yours like on the road? Is it way to bumpy? Rear wanting to skip out? To firm? I have the setup and its firm but not crashy, but wont to see other peoples views?

Now this may seem daft but anyone know for a fact if there is any difference between the mk1 hubs from say 1.2-1.4 - 1.8(16v) or 1.9D as i have put the 1.8 16v brakes on my 1.2hub with no problems but as i needed to replace the other side could only get hold of a 1.9D hub now the only difference...

I am selling a full Trophy suspension set up, with recently refurbished front dampers. This set up will fit a 182 Cup, a 182 with Cup Packs and the Trophy. I bought the dampers off a guy on Cliosport last July. I have not even fitted these to my car as I have been preoccupied with another...

Just curious really. Heading towards 3 years of ownership and still trying to keep mine as standard as possible, have a bit of a fetish for replacing parts all genuine Renault! Still running original springs front and back, and have had the front dampers refurbed at BG with new Sachs rear...

With sadness my Trophy is up for sale! She has just been serviced new cam belt etc and only done 8,000 since the suspension was serviced. The mileage is nearly 48,000 but will go up slighty as using the car to go to work! The car is all standard apart from and Alpine head unit with ipod...

Hi folks. My first post on here. Im brand new to clio,s, Im looking at buying a trophy [ in the next few months], and as such i could do with some help in what to look for.? IE a buyers guide. What goes wrong. etc etc Does one exist on this forum.? If so would somebody be kind enough to point...

I have for sale 2 Front SACHS dampers. They are in need of a refurb. looking for £300 collected (Based in cheshire) or I can sort out a courier at a price. Please get in touch. cheers. .

Just had my renewal quote on my bike, bearing in mind I paid £106 last year with no experience and no no-claims bonus. My renewal quote was £360 now I have a years no-claims! General searching on the web was struggling to get below £200. After 6 hours of insurance quotes, got it down to £110...

It's approaching insurance renewal time so I thought I'd start an honesty thread. If I was being up front about modifications to the T I'd declare: - Filter upgrade (ITG panel) - Suspension upgrade without lowering (Koni rear dampers) - Brake upgrade (Ferodo/Brembo) - Exhaust upgrade...

I have had two Trophys both which have done this. When parking and wheels near full lock the steering wheel becomes light and wants to go onto full lock its self as if the wheels are tilted over. Also if the road is wet the T front tires slip very easily when turning. It never bothered me as i...

Ideally front and rear. Will consider with or without springs (I'm after some MF items). Cash waiting.

Hello all, Does anyone know where I can get hold of the genuine Renault/Sachs stickers that are found at the bottom of every Sachs damper on a Trophy? Rhys

Don't if it has been mentioned but today I noticed while looking up a few things for my 'T' ( yes I work in Renault parts ) that I have noticed a massive price drop in Sachs prices about bloody time as well. New prices are as follows though available through France which I have checked. N/S...

As above :) Thanks

Hi all, been a while since i've been on here as i sold my T over two years ago now, a sad day that was too! The Trophy has been by far my favourite car, for the year/12k miles i owned it i loved every second and done my best to keep it in perfect condition and it was just that 'perfect...

Well got some work done to the car the last month or so. Redone the engine bay with painted plenums both upper and lower, new gaskets, painted engine cover with stickers. Powder coated dogbone mount and poly bushed, powder coated subframe brackets. Inside I have got new RS floor mats, new...

Performance French Cars Nov 2011 issue is rammed to the brim and the new look magazine is selling extremely well. This is the final issue of the year but we have loads of plans, shoots, meets and technical experts lined up for 2012. To subscribe it’s still only £2.33 an issue so that’s only...

I've decided to just sell the car after all the sh1t I've been through with that Tom. He's made me so Sick of it all that I just don't want the dam car any longer which I've babied for almost six years. It currently has the POS RS2 manifold fitted and would need to be removed as it's not working...

Afternoon all. I would like to know what else I can look at to solve my problem. At the moment where I live ishaving a new metrolink installed so the roads are a disgrace with pot holes, tram lines and general bumps!! When I'm driving on these roads, the car just makes all kind of noises from...

Apologies for bringing this up again but the recent spate of comments on suspension has prompted me to post. As I see it there are three options for replacing Trophy rear dampers: a) 182 Cup dampers (£65ish) b) Renault/Sachs Trophy-specific dampers (£115ish) c) Koni adjustable dampers...

Hi Guys, My front right shock is abit bouncy so think I might need a refurb soon, so planning on taking both the front sachs off and selling them. The other two are amazing, however my brother got the back left SACHs replaced with a standard shock. So I have 3 of the sachs left. Was planning on...

My trophy's recently started making a creaking noise which looks to be coming from the drivers side suspension. You can hear it when driving over any slight bumps in the road and especially over speed bump. Also today noticed what must be a slow puncture as the pressure on this tyre was down to...

In two minds whether to do this or not but i just dont use the car at all and my house renovation has to take priority over racing at the moment. Only been out once this year at Oulton for a test/track day and last raced last year. It was previously owned and run by Alex Schooledge of Outpace...
