What pressures do you run at?

I've got cup dampers on mine at the minute, could do a back to back passenger ride in each other's cars if you wanted? I'm in Carnoustie but could meet half way. I'm curious myself to see the difference as I'll be getting Rik to do my dampers in June.

Is that the XL rated PS3's?

I'll be going with Rik too.

I've only ever heard Ruislip mentioned once in my life and it was quite memorable- Back to the car, maybe an idea to stick a fresh MOT on it? Should make it easier to sell, can't hurt anyway.

Quite short in comparison to most, a short journey of 75 miles or so. Unfortunately for me, it was on the weekend of major Forth Road Bridge works that I was unaware of so rather than a 1.5 hour journey it was a 3.5 hour disaster, predominately spent stationary. I've never been so grateful to...

Tend to agree. The sort of person who'll buy this probably misses the entire point of the car in the first place.

I've just sorted mine and for 100% clarification the part number you want for the MM ones is 430719067000. I got mine from Mister Auto-...

V6 must feel like far more of an event. The Trophy is obviously brilliant but you do have to delve deeper for the pay-off.

If, for some highly unlikely reason, the exhaust trim suddenly becomes available again, I'll have them.

Being completely unselfish here, I think you should ;)

I know that first hand, it's what I'm driving at the minute mind. ;) It's whether the Trophy still shines through in road driving alone as the only back to back experience I have between Trophy and Cup (effectively) is with my sachs in need of a refurb.

Was that for road use too where driving isn't as hard? I should have clarified as I don't do track days. I suppose even if I did get them done and didn't notice a big enough difference it'd still be easier to sell the car and recoup the cost vs. selling with the dampers needing done. If it...

The reason I'm asking is my Trophy is on cup springs and dampers at the minute (front) because one of the sachs dampers was leaking slightly and needs a refurb. They were previously done in 2013 by Cornering Force. Now I didn't notice an issue in driving the car hard while on the sachs dampers...

For sure with the fronts but I'm wondering if it'd be worth it if the rears are so similar. Unless our esteemed Rik Perry is putting everyone off the Trophy rears so he can stockpile them and make a killing in years to come...:wink:

Can't leave us in suspense like that!

Glad to hear. How much did you get if you don't mind me asking? Handy to know for reference!

Didn't even realise there were bushes to worry about too, the expense is never ending. What are the going rates for front springs just now? Not sure when I'll get the front shocks refurbed but the springs are a bit rusty and likely original.

Looks like it's best to stick with the ebay link!

How long are the replacements people are using? I've just realised mine are allowing the spoiler to foul the aerial and the roof. Never noticed this before until replacing the crap aftermarket radio today with an original one and having no reception meant I did some digging. Looking through...

Your rear top mounts were that bad? What were the fronts like?

Not noticing a difference is making me think to leave it for a while. They don't seem to be too difficult to change out and money is already tight for car related spending this summer so would be easy enough to do whenever.

I have this Michelin one- https://amzn.to/3r8lvp4 Pricey but it's served me well for a few years.

So much is made of the front shocks for good reason but I was curious to see how many people have replaced the rears. My fronts are in need of a refurb so, when I get round to it, contemplating getting the rears done too given they're on over 92k miles.

The cups aren't new but I can't say the sachs are notably under-performing despite one of them being a bit damp. Certainly couldn't say I've noticed a difference when driving hard.

Cheers. Curious to see how different they'll feel, hear a lot but always wondered if I'd notice myself.

Sachs are needing to come off for a refurb and I have cup parts ready to swap on. My question is should I swap out the rear ones as well to match or is it fine to just put the front cup ones on and leave the original rears in place? I'll still be properly driving the car in this time and not...

Looks like I'll be needing these done in the nearish future, garage says the front right is very slightly damp. That along with about £1500 to spend on the bloody Boxster in the next 3 months. Aaarggghhh.

Belts are only a £600-700 cost if you're including the dephaser and water pump otherwise you're paying way too much.

Using the car is what needs to be done. The thought of someone keeping a Trophy wrapped in cotton wool and doing a few hundred miles in a year is depressing. It's like when you see someone that's done high miles in something like a Ferrari, they get it.
