I know this is not trophy related but, if this gos the trophy (clio) gets to stop, as i have a new trophy on order (megane) and 3 cars for me is to many according the wife? I am sure we all have friends who have other classic cars that might like this...

It pains me to do this and I know I'll regret it but #167 is going up for sale. Its been a very short romance but a change in work location and a newly acquired diesel daily means its now a 3rd car and prob won't get used. I hope the previous owner doesn't mind me robbing the particulars...

So, long story short, hit pothole, killed Sachs, killed PMS top mount, send Sachs off for rebuild courier managed to bend the spring cup, BG are going to try repair but needs repowder coating, expensive week!! On the plus side booked in with Dan @ SJM for his bargain cam deal he has going with...

Decided to change the gearbox oil in #302 as there is no evidence in the service history of it ever being done. Car has covered 63k. I went to the local Renault garage and they wanted £52+VAT for 3L of Elf 75-80 (after checking i found that you can get it for about £35 off ebay). Then checked...

Right I have just spent over 40mins on the phone and spoke to Mark @mark fish Motorsport. He is happy to do a group buy for the rear Koni dampers providing there is enought people. The dampers are standard rear Koni adjustables and they are sold at £100.vat Each + shipping. renault OE Sachs...

Hi All, I'm in need of some rear shocks for my trophy, everywhere I ring they are on back order or have no ETA, Renault are useless and keep giving me normal 172/182 parts... my local dealers aren't any better. But my options seem to be MF revalved Koni's, standard Koni's or still try seek the...

At Finishline UK we're in the process of repairing and transforming this Renault Clio 200 Renaultsport into a track car! So far managed to get into it (the doors were locked, the battery was dead and the lock on the passenger side was ruined), strip out the interior and now we can get started on...

The other thread currently running about the stolen car has got me thinking. How easy is it to get your insurance co to put an agreed value on the car.? I had one on Porsche 968 I owned, but that was on "classic" limited mileage policy..

Hi guys, sorry not really a trophy problem but I'm getting nothing from renaultspot forum, What I want to do is remove my struts from my 182 which are 60mm and put on my 172 struts on it which are 54mm can I just change over the hubs as well, will this change anything else? all I can find is I...

Im contemplating doing a track day soon in my T, and just wondering what settings to have the front dampers set to for it. Its got un-pinned dampers up font with MF springs all round and on the standard rear shocks. Cheers...

2005/05 Renaultsport Clio Trophy 182. Regrettably I'm putting my Clio Trophy up for sale, I have owned the car for 6 years. The reason for the sale is that I'm emigrating to Canada at the end of November and as much as I'd love to take it with me I need the money and it just wouldn't be...

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 - 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...

Hi there - after a very very long sales process, I am from last Wednesday the proud owner of Trophy #478. The register has more details, but quick summary is got the car, found a number of issues I should have spotted myself - the dealer agreed to take them on and the whole thing took 7 weeks...

Here we have my Renault Clio hill climber that ive used for the past 3 years with great success. This car has been developed throughout my ownership to be a competitive car and the quickest Clio in class winning both my class and overall championship in 2013. Throughout 2014 ive spent time...

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

Hi, i have a mk1 clio 1.2i 1998. I encountered a slight rattle whilst i was driving along and has persistantley got louder, it happens all the time wether hot or cold. I assumed it was the drivers side cv so i changed the driveshaft, it seemed like it hushed it down abit but the noise is still...

My car came to me with a poly bushed dog bone mount. Can these cause some extra "unwanted" noise/vibration in the car.? Mine seems to have this at tickover. Im just working my way through the car and getting it just how i like it...:up: Its NOT going to be a track toy, i have something else for...

Anyone got any 15" wheels to sell. I need a set for track tyres to go on. If not. Where can I get some.. Thanks

It is finally time to say goodbye to my Clio, need to make room for a new arrival (Lotus Elise:up:). I'm sure there is a good home for my Clio out there. Car has full service history from Renault dealer all up to date, recently replaced gearbox has only done 400 miles, 12 months MOT all fine...

Hi chaps. Can somebody tell me what difference the Whiteline rear arb will make to the handling of the trophy. Is it worth fitting. My car has got the Mark Fish spring set fitted. Thanks.

Hi folks. Im contemplating taking my T on a Track day or 2 and would like to fit a set of 15" wheels. [ i have a supply of lightly used 15" R888,s that need using up]. Can anybody let me know the offset thats needed for the 15" wheel to fit the trophy. Thanks.

so next year will be the big 10! must be worth organizing some sort of meet? maybe at another car show, something like Origine RS or prescothill climb, basicly one of less chavy shows :D
