Just brought a trophy and one of my front sachs has gone :( plus I have snapped a spring.
Been advised by bg that its best to get both done at the same drive in and out cost around £700(without springs)
I've read some people are switching them out for h&r's/spax rsx kits and I'm swaying...
Hi All,
Just a couple of quick questions on wheels;
1. what is the ET of the standard speedline wheel ?
2. if i use 182 cup wheels as a set of track wheels which have a ET of 45 would they make the track narrower ?
if so i guess i can use a spacer and longer wheel bolts ?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
I've just had my dampers back from Simon at Cornering Force and don't hesitate to fully recommend his service.
They are now 'unpinned' and so I want to try and understand what the adjuster actually does and to what degree.
Does anyone have a damper curve for the Sachs at different levels...

I've managed to source Yoki 195/50R15 for £62.30+ each, now I believe this to be a good price is there any others I brands I should consider before shelling out?
Whats there to say really, BigDave popped round Saturday morning as a mate of ours was fitting ktr/vibratechnics uprated engine + gearbox mounts and a powerflex dogbone so while they were doing that i cracked on with getting the sachs back on the trophy and fitting the sportlines, turned the...

Its 3 months to Adrian Flux French Car Show in association with LASSA tyres and we have this afternoon launched our all new 2013 website.
This year we have also introduced camping but...
got these for the clio after suffering 2 winters with poor grip on the michelins. 4x 15" pirelli snow control tyres and genuine Oz F1 wheels. the tyres give increased grip over the michelins in anything below 8 degrees. in retrospect, well worth the investment to get better grip over winter...
i took these front pads off the car last month to put new discs and pads on the car. i was going to include in sale price for the car but no interest in the car means I'll sell these separately and reduce the price of the car.
there is 9mm - 10mm left on each pad, front pads are circa 17mm...
Hi All
I am trying to become a proper member by getting hold of a Trophy and Ive got a few options.
There is one with 68k for £3800 timing belt done at 48k and another with less miles 40k for £5500.. Which would you go for if condition is not much different.. Not seen either but looking for...
As above, I've purchased a set of Koni Yellow adjustable rear dampers and was wondering what is the best setting for road use whilst still maintaining decent handling.
I have a Clio trophy on PX-
This car has a LONG SOLID service history inc suspension refurb @ BG motorsport
Cambelt service also done & Stamped in 2010-
Only 60k-
Has desirable TPHY Number plate
Has YOZZAsport exhaust & the car is generally in excellent condition.

Firstly, apologies if this is covered in a thread I haven't found - I have searched the damper threads but couldn't locate the answer to this specific question.
Basically, has anyone had their Sachs dampers unpinned and compared the car's ride on the softest setting against the hardest? If so...

Hi guys, title says it all. It's only a thought in the pipeline as I've just stumbled on what looks like a bargain at snetterton, £49 for the day, 15 may. Thing is, my car is absolutely standard, and I don't plan on modding, but I just want to see what the trophy can do in a safe environment. I...
Well eventually I have gotten round to fitting my new Yokohama Advan Neova AD08 tyres to go alongside the K-Tec exhaust and induction kit already fitted.
So on Thursday I am paying a visit to Dan at 519 Automotive to sort suspension and brakes.
On the list is a set of Spax RSX fully adjustable...
Time for a change :(
Best car i've ever had.
Soon to be for sale (2-3 weeks). Delay is because I'm getting a track rod end replaced which was highlighted on a recent health check and also fitting a re-trimmed steering wheel. Pictures to follow.

Hello all! After a flirtation with a 182 some time ago I have decided it is time to investigate the best of the breed and have just become the new owner of Trophy #051.
Seemingly the first item I will need to attend to is a refurb of the distinctly tired Sachs dampers and have already spoken...
Hi guys.
im thinking off the idea of getting front and rear strut braces for the trophy.
but do they actually need them.
does anybody think they improve the handling??
I'd like some input from people who have fitted them.
thanks for looking
Absolutely gutted! After 7.5 years and 80k miles, I've had a coming together with a very solid old stone wall, and come off second best. Stuffed the NSF into the wall, no metal panel damage, airbags didn't go off, but the assessor stopped counting the damage at £3.5k without getting stuck into...
Hi all,
Took my car for a power run today to see where the clio was at. I know you need to take the results with a pinch of salt but would appreciate anybodys view on whether or not the car is there or there abouts where it should be given its age and milage.
Right the car has done 81000...
Hi guys,
Picking up #355 next week and will be my second trophy.
It will be a second car for me so not a daily.
I want it to be setup the best way possible.
Shall I keep it standard in terms of springs etc?
I've heard good things in terms of Mark fish, Cooksport, whiteline arb.
Are these...
Hi all just in my garage this afternoon and noticed i have two of my old PE2's in there. Not measured the tread depth but id definatly say there worth having off me if your close by. Definatly do you for a track day which would save your current tyres. I have another PE2 behind the shed with a...
