tracking

Hi all, I've just purchased a 182 Trophy (No.382) today, rather a nice upgrade from my Fiat Seicento Sporting! It needs some work doing to make it perfect but it's brilliant to drive all the same :D However the battery light is on, as is the STOP light. At high revs this goes out so I believe...

Just noticed this recently, I've had to do a few full lock turns (or near full lock) and there's been a slight juddering. It come's through the steering wheel but feels suspension related. Anyone got any ideas? I can't remember from my previous T, but is this normal with the sachs? Cheers

Unfortunately I can't go tomorrow due to work commitments! So my ticket is spare collection from Banstead if anyone is interested? Free of charge

Hi all. Im after a pair of front Brembo HC discs, can anybody tell me the best place to get them from.? The ones on my car have worn down on the inside faces, as the pads have been binding, recently I though it was a wheel bearing issue, only to find binding DS 2500,s...:rolleyes:

Hi all New to this site, so still feeling my way around. I have been seriously considering buying a 172 CUP or 182 Cup for weekend fun use and perhaps the occasional track day, maybe!!! Every time I look at the classified it appeasers that approx: 98% of 172 & 182's are owned by the young...

Hello just got number 14. Very pleased with the car and the way it goes. It's my 1st decent fast 'new car' having always had classics. I'm 42 so not a real racer type. I think it will fit in well with some of the oldies own. Only poor areas for road driving in my opinion are: a bit of movement...

Hi all, I'm currently putting together another group buy for the Scorpion RS192 exhaust for Clio 182's / Trophy. We need 10 people in total and currently have 7. Group by discount prices currently stand at; Full System inc decat £375 including postage and packaging (£34.90 saving) Cat Back...

sooooo, i have fitted a new set of speedlines and tyres, alloys are exactly the same spec as the ones i took off.. but, something just dont feel right, its more at speed i notice it, the steering seems too accurate? if that makes sense?? feels like i turn a bit and turns alot, worth having the...

Hello, I've bought a trophy and I love it lots, but there's a couple of niggles: 1) I feel the car is slightly down on power, the car has an incomplete service history and i'm told the cambelt was changed by the previous owner, it's suggested that I get the timing checked, does anyone know how...

I've owned #207 since September 12, having owned #383 before, so its about time for an update. The car was in excellent condition when I picked it up and only needed a few bits doing! New exhaust mounts fitted and AeroTwin wipers on arrival home. I had ordered new set of Speedlines from...

Day 1 !

I'm Selling My 182 Trophy due to having a new baby and need something bigger, it's No 37/500 it has 1 previous owner, I bought it in Sept 2008 from allvehicles.co.uk it had done 55k, it's now just under 93k. Since I've had it its been well cared for garaged and used weekends, regularly cleaned...

I know this is a much discussed thread and I’ve trawled through the searches, but anyway I’m still undecided... My front pads are nearing the time to be replaced at the moment I've got the Standard Renault discs and pads. I’ve bought myself the Brembo HC Disks but I’m undecided which pad to...

Hi guys , I had thought that I would go for the Nitron Damper setup that K-Tec are developing for the Trophy but have read great things about AST. And I just wondered if anyone on here has them fitted and what they think ? Cheers Neil

I set the newly refurbed dampers to (what I thought was) 22 clicks. It was as stiff as anything, handled well but felt extremely unstable on the motorway and there was literally no body roll. I've turned them down a few times and there's a slight bit of body roll now and it feels better...

Can anyone help me? My car is staying on full lock. I accelerate and put on full lock without touching the steering it stays on full lock and drives around in circles. When I reverse the steering comes back. i have tried all the basic things such as tyre pressure, changed wheels around...

Can somebody please report back on the following: Driving straight ahead at 60+ MPH using small movements of the wheel around the centre is there much "feel/feedback"? I have had lots of work done on curing a wandering/tramlining problem which is now sorted and the handling/steering feel is now...

My Trophy is coming up for its annual service plus I have a new RS192 exhaust to be fitted. I would also like to get all the geo and tracking checked can anyone recommened someone to use ? I live in Surrey. Many thanks

I'm going for a 197 wheel conversion as I'll be tracking quite a lot, so this s coming off the car at some point during the next week its a quality retrim job, both perforated and normal leather with thumb grips in real leather too It feels and looks incredible, everyone has seen it raves about...

How much should they bounce exactly? Has anyone done a video at all ... Mine seem to move fairly easily - although they were only refurbed 13k ago lol (not by BG)

Looking to spend a little money on the Trophy now as the steering (since the 'tracking was done at Kwik Fit) has got progressively more loose/wobbly over the past few weeks - im thinking they buggered something up with too much heat? Front Sachs seem fine and have only done 15k since they were...

Hey folks new on this form I am away to buy a 182 trophy on a 55plate at the weekend I have never Owned on befour are there things to look for? It has 65k on it and full service history belts been done and Jst serviced at 61k it's in good condition a few stone chips on the bonnet and little...

I'm a bit perplexed by this, within the last month or so, i've been getting loud twanging/donging noises when maneuvering. The other weekend i checked over the complete suspension, to make sure noting was loose. I found no faults, but i tried tightening the front damper assembly top nut inside...

We hope you like the transformation. For some of you the vbulletin software will be familiar (i.e. ClioSport), but please take your time to look around. There is still some work to be done so please be patient, and report any errors or problems in this thread. 'Trophy Owner' statuses, and...

Well after running around with the dreaded Serv and TC warning lights on for the last few months I finally took it in for a brake pedal sensor change which appeared to fix the problem. That is, until yesterday when I had the MOT and a brake fluid change and now I've got one more warning light...

Trophy was handling like a bag of crap, noticed a bouncy damper so had it rebuilt at BG a few weeks ago. Also the exalto's on the front had come to their usable end so replaced them with the Pilot Sport 3's. Anyway, Trophy's feeling a bit weird in some corners, i cant really describe it, its...

Hi 1. As per title. Looking for a definitive answer on what is adjustable on a Trophy (i.e. without using camber bolts/shims etc). I have had a look around and cannot find an answer. 2. Also, does anyone know if the Trophy has the same standard alignment settings as 172/182s? I went to a...

Hi all, I've recently had the front and rear dampers replaced/rebuilt as well as the top mounts. Its going back in the shop tomorrow to have the ball joints replaced as well ready for a full geo alignment on saturday. The guy at the geo place mentioned the track rod ends can sometimes be a...
