damper

Hey guys im after front sachs dampers in working order preferably let me know thanks stef ;)

Well last week was the dreaded mot date. I refitted the cat and new lambda sensor ready for the emissions test, and threw the good o/s/f damper in the boot so my mate could fit it before the mot. The damper that was on was soft and made a horrible knocking nois over any bumps it was ridden...

Since we now know that Renault UK are now supplying Sachs Twingo R1 dampers (p/n: 77 111 67 414 and 77 111 67 413) as a replacement for the Trophy and are now charging £1400 each, I thought I would contact the official RenaultSport UK rally parts supplier to see how much they would supply these...

Is there anyway I can check the effectiveness of the dampners once they are off the car? Obviously I know to check for misting on the units, though should they be pretty solid if I try to move them by hand?

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...

I'm in the market for another Clio Trophy. Having had one before I know what there all about and think it would make a great weekend toy. I'm in no made rush but clearly wanna get the best one for my money. Ie dampers done if poss as well as good service history. Is it worth looming for one with...

The trackday forum looks pretty quiet, do any of you guys get out on track in Trophys?

Knowing the illustration is wrong,will these be the correct Koni damper to replace my rear sach? Thanks Rich http://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/performance/shock-absorbers/car/renault/clio-98-05-182/koni-adjustable-sport-shock-absorber-top-adjustable-rear

Could someone tell me if the 182 cup dampers fit with the standard Trophy springs. I'm looking for definite answers here not , I think so.

Front ones yellow, rears black is this right?

Been looking at Trophy's for a while and think i've found a bargain only issue is it needs the dreaded front shoxs and a timing belt. I've done a little reading and can anyone clarify if new shocks are available? I know i'm looking at around 500-800 for rebuild and looking at say 400 for timing...

Basically my Drivers-side Sachs has gone and wanted to know if you can fit the springs from the Sachs into Cup Dampers while the Sachs are off the car?? While i contemplate a refurb or see how much longer this new Damper Saga rumbles on for!! Any information appreciated, Many Thanks!

I have been doing nothing all night except trying to find a contact number or e-mail address for the Renaultsport factory in dieppe as I'm sick of deaing with trumpets in the UK. I want to speak direct to the horses mouth but the only info i can find is below. Renault 36 Rue Saint-Jean, 76200...

Hi, my trophys on 31k and had the front dampers refurbished a few months ago by bg motorsport. The car is on mark fish springs with koni rear dampers. Ever since i got the dampers refurbished the springs creak "as if ur hearing them compress" when braking hard and then when u let off the...

Hi Everyone, Im currently looking to buy a trophy and over the past few weeks I've noticed more and more coming up for sale but rarely selling. Then last night 3 came up for sale within the space of 2 hours on Pistonheads. Is this a coincidence or am I missing something here? Is there an...

Hello everyone. It's been a while but this still is the best car enthusiast forum IMO. Good to be on here again and may well be back in a Clio subject to job situation. I'll be selling my 5.5 AMG merc as it's not very economical as you can imagine. So, my question is, in a nut shell, what are...

Hi,I have missed a call today from Ben at BG as he has my dampers in for refurb. Just a bit of a heads up really,but he says that one shaft needs replacing due to being scored and the other one is borderline,due to scoring! I certainly don't mind spending if necessary,but was wondering the...

Are the Turini's that bad?? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Renault-Clio-2-0-16V-RENAULTSPORT-182-TROPHY-3DR-/320929355713?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item4ab8e157c1#ht_1136wt_1270 :eek:

Decided on a price. Thats a lot of car for the money ! Usual Trophy spec plus Clio sport 200 steering wheel fitted by Renault with red centre stripe. 82,000 miles, cambelt just done, just had its big service. 6 months tax, new front tyres very nearly new rear tyres. Very good condition...

Hi guys, well after signing up as member 3 years ago with the intention of buying i finally picked up a Trophy on Monday....got there in the end!:D Now the confusion.... I have been looking at old posts about the Sachs suspesion for the last few days now but still have some questions that i am...

Has anybody got these on their trophy? I was wondering what people thought and if they changed anything else when putting these on IE damper settings. I'm thinking of getting some because top mounts are knocking over bumps (not the usual knocking on full lock either) I've worked it out to be...

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)

Hey guys, names Tim and im toying with the idea of an upgrade. currently driving a williams and have owned several mk1 1.8 16vs and hybrids but i think its time for a change. Are there any key points i should look out for when viewing? ive noticed alot of the trophys on the market have had...

Having been looking for another trophy for around a month now and there seems to be quite a few that still havent had the dampers re furbed yet. Just wondering how many on here are still running their cars without problems?

Hi all, Was thinking about buying a different car but now considering refreshing the Trophy and 205. Sachs damper refurb, tyres, brakes, remap and rs192 exhaust for the T. This month's Evo features a Pug1off 205 Gti which looks amazing. 195bhp 6 speed with brakes, suspension etc would cost...

Guys, I need your help on where to get a new coil spring for my Trophy as it has collapsed. The MOT was last week and it failed and trying to find a coil spring is like trying to find a DoDo!! Where can I get one? A standard one will be fine just now until I look for coilovers. Any help...

Well, after getting loud donging noises when maneuvering, and people on here saying the top mounts would cause it, the garage I use also confirmed this. Ktec said to use engine oil to lubricate the top mounts last week, which i did, from within the engine bay, but it made no difference. I was...

Allo people, in the quest to solve my suspension issues i'm replacing my passenger side drive shaft amongst other things. The motor spares shop ordered what we believed to be the correct item, but it appears different from the original. The first obvious thing is the width of the abs toothed...
