I'm tempted to buy a pair.
Even with new Febi top mounts it's loose as a wizards sleeve at top of the dampers. It's like the rubber donut thing is too small or the cap can't drop low enough to take up the slack.
I've seen some Gaz brand top mounts that are fairly affordable.
It looks like they screw together in 2 parts above and below the turrets and therefore no holes need to be drilled in turrets.
Has anyone have an opinion on these or some feedback they could share?
Thanks
So I've had a rethink.
Got some cheap copies of Renault caps size 57mm. £10.50 for 4 off a website called Onbuy.com
I've snapped all the clips off the back and trimmed down remaining plastic so they sit more flush.
I'm now going to just glue them onto the speedline caps after painting them...
Plus you need to spend lots of time and energy faffing with settings of adjustable dampers and camber settings etc.
Would love some affordable Sachs dampers I could just bolt in to make my own trophy homage.
But probably not worth money.
Renault got it pretty spot on really. Not much need to...
I've just done a suspension refresh with cup dampers and Cooksport springs.
Only reason for choosing the Cooksports was they were slightly cheaper.
Firm but totally usable on the road imho. The springs are much less thick compared to the Eibach sport lines they replaced, a bit lighter and...
I'll be looking at some steering rack bushes now too lol. I think there's also one on the column somewhere.
Maybe these plus new solid top mounts would make the car awful on the road however. And that is where 98 percent of my driving would be.
Interesting discussion. Most of it was right over my head towards the end there.
Sorry to butt in, but Is there an upgraded top mount that people generally prefer over standard?
Few years ago I replaced my original Renault top mounts with Febi ones, was barely any different.
I've now just done...
I've never been happy with the fit of my top mounts either. Mine slightly uneven also.
I was more worried about the " slack " I had causing axle tramp like sensations in the wet sometimes.
I replaced with new Febi top mounts with original Renault spacer nuts a few years ago, but the gap didn't...
Holy s**t. 30 quid per corner is too much for a tight git like me.
Would be nice to have 3d chrome Renault diamonds however.
Decals over paint it is.
Just gotta find some decent quality decals now.
I'm flexible on the style as long as it looks "nice"
I saw a picture of a lovely titanium...
Have you got a link for the caps you bought?
I contacted the guy I bought my Turini's off, they've been refurbished and he has no idea what the exact colour is, so I'm probably best off getting some colour matched paint and going DIY route.
Thanks for help.
3d printed caps would also need sanding and painting also so still a lot of faff.
I think I'm going to try what I've described. If it all goes to s**t I'll say so.
Am I right in thinking the genuine Renault trophy Turini caps are 58mm?
My speedline caps are 59mm on the outer diameter.
Maybe...
Hi all,
Long time lurker here. Really appreciate all the excellent advice given on this forum. Got a minor issue and would like to know what your chosen solution would be.
Got myself some good condition aftermarket Turini's with nearly new tyres for a decent price. I can't stand the speedline...
Some nice work there chaps.
Fancy fixing mine? Lol.
Hopefully mine aren't that rotten. But the front Jacking points are absolutely mullered. Definitely rust in rear ns jacking point.
Not looking forward to the investigation...
I've got a titanium one too. Think it suits car really well. Looks modern still.
It's the most common colour unfortunately I think.
I wanted a racing blue one but didn't find one in my price range at time.
I quite like the old phase 1 Clio's now, can't be many of them left. Never see them on...
Be careful pulling/levering the clear red plastic lamp housing out of the spoiler. Don't want to crack it obviously.
Just gently lever out on alternating sides with something that will spread the pressure a bit.
Boys , use a 300mm 12v led light strip from Toolstation.
Works a treat.
I used the spine of a dvd case to stick LEDs to, and then wedged that into original red valeo light housing. Original metal clips then hold it in place nicely. Leave the original circuit board out.
Use solder and heat...
Just fitted a cup spoiler to my 182FF.
Leading edge slightly rubs back of car roof when opening boot.
Used to cardboard to try and pack it out in direction I needed more space and then did up screws. Still rubs a touch but better.
It was resprayed at some point, so it's just a touch larger...
Cheers. 99 quid is crazy money still. I'm a tight git. I guess they are upgraded however.
I'll call Renault tomorrow to see if they sell em.
I've seen cheap ones on eBay but quality probably not the best.
Thanks for help mate.
