Mikeyjp's Clio 182, #037, Trophy Progress thread

[Badgerman85]

Unfortunately not to hand but last time I checked genuine trophy/v6 ones were £200+ from Renault, I got a quote for mine a couple of years back and was just shy of £500 Inc delivery, the £30 ones are just standard 172/182 ones, where did you get the quote from?

 

[Mark]

Quote was from a dealership. Hopefully someone will come along shortly to confirm the part number so I can check.

Thanks
Mark

I can guarantee they are wrong. This has been covered multiple times. The cheap ones from Renault are too long.....take it from someone whose been there and done it all already.

Renaulr Clio Trophy & V6 use the same boot spoiler and therefor need the same boot struts.
These are smaller due to the spoiler being bigger, If you where to fit standard Clio 172/182 boot struts the Trophy / V6 spoiler would hit the roof.

The OE part number for the boot spoiler & the price is below and this is "Each" and NOT for the pair.



The rear spoiler is also very expensive and this is also the OE number and price from renault.

Caliper refurb is great - mine are very rusty. Did you just brush them clean and then paint? Am tempted to give it a go. Thanks!

 

[Mikeyjp]

Ah nice will be fully fit and ready to go for the better weather I was looking in to stayin down there when i go probably use the premiere lodge or travelodge

 

[Badgerman85]

I'll be dropping off and getting the train home then picking it up Friday if all goes well! Not sure if the Sachs will be back on by then, not sure I'll get a chance to refit them before!

 

[Mikeyjp]

will give my bank account chance to recover, and then take it to Mark Fish to tweak the handling

 

[Badgerman85]

Well not sure why it posted my response in here, should of been in my thread!

 

[Miller]

i know the feeling once Sjm is done i then have the sachs rebuild to do.

 

[Badgerman85]

i know the feeling once Sjm is done i then have the sachs rebuild to do.

Both in the space of 2 months of me, my poor wallet

 

[Miller]

Will have to let me know how things go on the 12th then

 

[Mikeyjp]

i got Mobius in the post last week, made the most of a nice day and fitted it





took it out for a quick spin, looks really good, except the picture was upside down

 

[ldubl]

Looks good Mikeyjp!

 

[Mikeyjp]

So then, back from Glastonbury, and fook me am i tierd on foot for 2 1/2 days, walked to Street and back twice, walked around the abbey or whats left of it, and nearly Died walking up the Tor








and spotted a few Clios at Dans





And as for the car

all i can say WOW!!!

made more of a difference than i thought it would, had a bit of an issue with the cams all im going to say is avoid Renaparts, is also the 3rd issue i have had with them now, luckily though, the one cam that was not scrap was the cam that need, i think he said it was just the inlet cam he needed, but don't quote me on that. I forgot to ask him to do the gearbox oil doh! will get it done at my local, and the stupid 5k kick has gone, it is crazy how much better it pulls need to get it on some rollers find out what its running now, he also said that the top mounts had been built wrong, and sorted that for me, also needed a new rear exhaust mount, pocket is nearly £1400 lighter , but worth every penny

 

[marrow]

Is that Sharky's T I see lurking there?!!!

 

[Mikeyjp]

yup, i believe so

 

[markoc]

Nice update! Would be interesting to see the differences that the 197 cams make.
