Thought I'd post here as well as CS because it seems a lot of Trophy owners have this system.
NB: the first graph is power, the second is torque.
A couple of months ago after being fed up of the standard tail pipes, no noise, and a general sense of being slightly resitricted at higher revs...
One of the coil springs has broken at the front of the 182 Trophy and i was punching my head with what i was going to do as the OE Renault ones are £150 a spring.
Just called Mark Fish and ordered a full spring kit for the 182 Trophy.
Has anyone got this spring kit on there car and if so what...
Hi all,
Last year I was looking for a Trophy as a trackday-toy, in the end I went for a modified VX220, now though the Clio-itch is back.
I've always been drawn towards the Trophy, rather than the Cup, but is it worth the premium if the car is to be used as a trackday-toy/daily driver? Is a...
Hi guys
I have got some Eibach Sportlines on mine but it seems more people are changing the springs on the Trophy. Anyone got any good recommendations? .. I have even heard the soft dare i say Apex have even had good reviews on the Trophy dampers.
Cheers for spring or damper related info...
Trophy #461
No clean shots in here detailing freaks.
It gets driven, & it gets driven hard. 172k miles & counting.
Mud is courtesy of the field at Haynes, which was perfect for handbrake turns ;)
Trophy # 433 (now owned by Luke_89)
On its holidays in August...
Trying to track down the cause, hoping someone else can offer a potential cause. For the last year I would say my T has handled slightly off. The positive feel to the steering has gone and I want to try and get this back.
So far I have had the following done on the car:
- Lower suspension...
Anyone have them on their Trophies? I'm tempted to get some rear ARB's. Hopefully going to go with the Mark Fish sus set up at the end of the summer also. If anyone has that total combination would be good to hear your thoughts.
OK a few things have changed and my Anniversary is up for sale.
We bought the car from a Fireman who got it from his local VW Dealership with just over 1K Miles on the clock and kept it for the next 6 years,The car has only ever been serviced from the same VW Main dealer he got the car from and...
I've reduced my car fleet to just the trophy now, and an impending company car.
So i've decided to allow myself to start modifying again!
What have you all done to your trophies, and were the mods worth it?
So far i've just fitted decent bulbs and a great stereo system.
Just ordered a 172...
I followed you this morning. Have you fitted an anti-roll bar on the rear suspension? How much difference does it make? It looks quite low to the ground!
Luke.
Quite keen to try a Whiteline rear ARB on the Trophy, mostly read good reports. Any thoughts from anyone?
Also note there is the start of a group buy over on the cliochav forum, sorry I mean cliosport. :wink:
Has anybody had any faults with their rear suspension? I've noticed my back drivers side is leaking :?
Its booking in to dealers on monday to hopefully get it changed under warrenty

Thought i'd put a few pic's up because i've just washed it today...
I bought it with a full magnex system

Whiteline rear anti roll bar
Whiteline front bottom strutbrace

I've test drove a couple of trophy's and a friend used to own one, i've...
A few questions on these as I don't really know much about them!
can you just buy a set of camber bolts i.e. h&r and get them fitted?
any need for lowering springs or anything?
how much are they and how much are they fitted/set-up?
do they drastically improve handling on their own...
Hey guys,
I have a rear anti roll bar and a front lower brace for sale. I bought it for my brother and he sold his liquid illusion yellow clio so this is spare, I have the rear anti roll bar on my trophy and it improved my handing so much it also got rid of the under steer on my...
All,
Sometime ago I started a thread on suspension settings, and I've been very slow at getting round to the chassis setup I'd promised myself (& the car!).
Question is, and Ive seen a thread on this, Will I need camber bolts to get 2 (or nearly 2) degrees of front negative camber?
Is...
I was looking through a broucher at work the other day and noticed a nice Sparco front and rear Red strut brace. Got me thinking should i or shouldt I fit them to the car.
I know the rear is only for looks but I am very tempted.
What the rest of you think????
