You'll get more grip when cornering and braking but suffer slower acceleration and less MPG, and more noise as they are heavier.

I'm sure the yellow and White dot ones are OE 172Cup springs, I can check when I get home.

Don't Helix clutches make odd rattles and squeaks as normal.

You'll have to put the cat back for the MOT regs soon anyway.

Might as well get it from ECP at least you can change it easily if the wrong part, I never a problem at my local ECP shop.

The Trophy owners would have strong words with you if you got rid of the originals, Theres only 500 made, don't you know.

Marvellous!

Should have a Sticky thread on Cliosport-----"Freds Wall of Shame"

The Trophy shockers are expensive to change or rebuild. The rest of the car has similar costs to other RS models. This thread will shock you http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?581681-182-trophy-suspension

You can't do it yourself unless you have laser eyes :D Checking and adjusting the tracking will be a half hours work and will cost about £45. Fitting cam bolts and adjusting them is another half hour. Depends how low your coilovers are really, Do they have adjustable camber bolts already...

Where in Essex are you?

If you lower the suspension then that will give you neg. camber. The more you lower the more negative camber, and that will wear the tyres on the inside, also if the toe in/out is excessive the tyres will also wear excessively. Now youve changed the ball joints that should help. You still...

Original settings will be fine mate. You will find the camber at the back will end up at about -0.5deg which is perfect. the front between 0 and 1deg. which is also good. Toe in/out should be straight + or - 0.5degree. If youve fitted the springs correctly and all the rubber bushes are good then...

dot 4 or dot 5.1 are good enough. Any decent brand such as castrol, motul etc. Hope you changing the whole system, you'll notice the difference.

I bought a Cat C Cup that had the same damage as this one and also has S/H, bills etc. The paint is not that good but bodily is ok, the engine a nd gearbox are fault free. I only use mine as a track car so was not concerned by it's history and had no problems in a year of ownership. The main...

Could gear oil or engine oil on that side. You'll have to get the jack and a torch out and and get under there to be sure.

They all make dust, except EBC type pads but I wouldn't call them brake pads.

I like the other vids that come up next to this one, especially the Nissan Independant suspension one. No Cups there! As for the Clio Cup--- It feels rather soft to me on the track after a 172 Cup.

That is oil, whats that big white thing?

File about 1 mm. each end so there is a little play in them. The shims aren't really necessary as they usually cause squealling. Give the carriers a good wire brushing to remove dust. Drive carefully after fitting them as the brake pedal will feel wooden, they do take a while to bed in.

Check the battery is not on it's last legs, if it's the original then it will be at least 5 years old now.. If it's not driven much or short journeys the battery will not be fully charged.

"Very Scratched"

Re: coments on colour scheme please Stickers! All that extra weight!

There are good ones about but not for sale.

Looking at other Renault forums, 197 gearboxes are having problems regularly with 3rd. & 4th synchros and are being changed through the Reanault warranty. So 200 gearboxes are becoming problematical as well? As Steve @rsport cars says, Renault do change them but what happens after the 3...

I also thought it was odd about the silver Megane moving over to the left to let you by as well, did it with every one.

If it's staying on the road,then a non Cup with as many options you can afford. If you are a track day ***** then a Cup with no extras, I would remove some of the standard gizmos to make it more track focused.

So Skoda splittters are bad for your car!!!!!!!!!!!! Close thread so no one else fits them.

Don't!!!!!!!

Twice unlucky, I do feel for you you. Really the only way to get anywhere with these garages is see Citizens advice or a solicitor but as you're a busy bloke sell it as it is and start again. I can only offer tea & sympathy. Good luck mate.
