Yea I must agree they do look good in LY. Renault have unveiled the facelift MK3 now at the Geneva motor show so maybe the price of the pre facelift will drop.
Thanks mate, yea photos don't really do them justice tbf!
Not sure how much they actually cost but I do have some Renault spec sheets for the car so I'll have a look and see if it's written anywhere, but I would guesstimate somewhere in the region of 2k?
Yea your dead right! Just haven't had...
Unfortunately decided to sell my Trophy after two years of ownership, was sad to let it go but thankfully it went on to another enthusiast!
And this is it's replacement, a Glacier White Megane RS250 Cup:
Have owned it a week and so far I love it! Much quicker and nicer to drive than...

Personally I would get that. Even less hassle getting the bushes and metal collar out of the old one, and looks a nice bit of kit.
Thanks :) hoping to get some more of the bits fitted soon which I have laying around the house! And then maybe get another track day done before the end of the year :)
Hi mate. There not made specifically for the trophy. Any 172/182 rear Koni will fit there all the same. Here is a link for where I bought them from.

Cheers mate :) wasn't sure whether I would like the vibratechnics mounts but I actually do, definitely worthwhile.
Next I need some track wheels and tyres!
Small update.
The Sachs have been sent off to cornering force for refurbishing and powder coating, and I also picked up some vibratechnics engine mounts off a friend and got them fitted.
Before:
After:
Bit more vibration on idle. Not massive amounts more when driving. But overall...
Thanks mate :) can't wait to fit all of it and get back on the track!
got them off a group buy on here, not sure if its still going on! They look decent though
Havent updated in about a month so thought I would do one.
Started fitting some of the suspension components but havent really had the time to do all of them so they are slowly getting done!
Fitted the new centre exhaust mount whilst i was refitting my cat

I also took a trip over to Adam at Renault Wolverhampton parts this afternoon...
You wouldn't expect anything to be bent then? I'm planning to replace arb bushes, rack bushes, tie rods, ball joints, wishbone bushes (can't decide between brand new Renault wishbones or powerflex bushes) refurb the Sachs, and think I'm going for PMS top mounts and strut brace.
That was my main concern. What do you think would cause that? Bush wear or something bent?
The car is currently on 182 cup shocks as the Sachs need refurbing would that affect it?
Yea I know do you think the rear beam could have had a knock ? Is it worth replacing it? Or could beam bushes cause this?
Not currently but I have some waiting to go on, but want to make sure there isn't an underlying issue causing the difference.
Went to have my alignment checked today before I do a suspension refresh, and here are the results.

what do you guys think about these results? Rear camber and toe seem to differ a fair amount from side to side, but also the front camber is very...
