I have this on good authority from a dealer I was chatting to.

its probably made up then :rasp:

 

[rory182]

dealer probably confused a cup for a trophy.

 

[S77CCP]

Renault dealer, telling the truth? Was he trying to sell you something at the time?

 

[Davey182]

nope, this is very much real... I was asking him where the Trophy they had went. He just shook his head and told me. Same person who bought it apparently has a 225 as well...

 

[Jay]

what!?

whos got the trophy suspension now???

 

[Cam]

hmmmm, cant find anything on cliotrophy.co.uk and cant be arsed looking on the RS website.

 

[Leeshez]

Shame about that and shame there are no pictures.

Its not a bad idea realy.
I'm not keen on the trophy setup for track wot leda or bilstein would be better IMO and make aofr a quicker car.

Sounds like they had a good idea get a trophy which holds it value better than a 182 Cup or Full fat make it to a track car then when you come to sell put the old stuff back on and sell it for a premium as its a trophy. A Cup 182 would have lost more money.

Dealer = Westover aka Olympian Automotive?

If so they never left a block of wood wedged between my engine and exhaust manifold either

I know of a 225 owner who bought suspension from a crashed Trophy, maybe they heard wrong?

 

[Maz]

Maybe they just don't know what they are talking about as per usual ...

 

[jayxx83]

could be anyones guess lol

 

[Turkish]

... and then changed the suspension

Someone who gets nosebleeds at high altitudes?

 

[Nik]

Oi! :rasp:

 

[ColinG]

this is the one thing that puts me off the trophy...changing the suspension..

coming from a mk1 v6 to a 182 FF that would be getting H&R's on it etc..

should i buy a trophy..fit H&R's and keep the standard suspension for when i sell??

its the standard height thats putting me off...182's look sweet on coilies..loving makavelli's and also dansta's 172 cup

help!!

Maybe, but I doubt it... dealer will be nameless to protect the innocent! :rasp:

They did comment about how they thought it was sacrilege...

Definately a trophy which was stripped and then changed the suspension... and then crashed. So one less. They could have just bought a cup instead :quiet:
