Great update again, Ed - thanks! It's a shame the conditions weren't on your side this round but still a great experience nonetheless!

Hold on... I dispute the bit that states a full service, including cambelt and dephaser, costs around 600 quid! Maybe 10 years ago! I was talking to Mick at Diamond earlier this evening and we often talk prices and parts.... you're looking well north of a grand these days for genuine and...

You'll soon get used to them, @chip2257 - not everyone can be young and hip like other moderators on here... 🤫:ROFLMAO:

I would agree - look for an enthusiast-owned example as close to stock as possible. And maybe consider something like a Quaife in the future if needs be. Whilst I am all for stock/standard (honestly, guv!) the LSD does add "driver value" if not monetary value! I won't derail your thread talking...

Something like a Quaife LSD on the Trophy is a worthwhile upgrade and probably one of the very few modifications I would recommend. Any jobs going, Chris? :ROFLMAO:

Ooft (sucks through teeth)... that's going to need a lot, Jules. Probably get written off. I have 500 quid here with your name on it if that helps. Hold out your hand. :ROFLMAO: It's good to see 307 getting some love. :cool:

"A" is for "Awesome" - so it's plenty good enough!

Ah - thanks Ed. I think I was thrown a little by the apparent positioning of the jack in relation to the subframe mounting point. I do actually jack and axle-stand in the same way with #165. I get somewhat paranoid and fidgety when it comes to having the car jacked up and I am not the one doing...

Looking good, mate! At Harewood, I would grab a doggie bag so that you can walk the track and not miss breakfast... :ROFLMAO: Ed, a quick question for you... the jacking point. Where are you jacking up against on the Cup's underside? I can't quite work it out from the photo...(y)

I knew it! I always thought this myself, but never had the wheels without tyres on to weigh and compare! My current track wheels (on the Trophy) are Cup Turinis and I always thought they felt heavier! :ROFLMAO:

No luck so far in hunting down the number... 🔎

Sounds like you've done yourself proud and set yourself up nicely for what comes next... congratulations, Ed! Enjoy the experience!

I thought it was Nick's....! :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:

I had new trim when my replacement windscreen went in last year. Unfortunately, it appeared not to have been fitted correctly and started pulling away from the glass and flapping about! :ROFLMAO: I couldn't for the life of me get it to stick down, but Mick (Diamond Motors) must have done...

I have been really impressed by the PS5s on the Trophy. It's too early to say what the wear rate is like but they are definitely a step up over anything I've used before - PE2, PS3.

Second-breakfast left-overs, am I right? :ROFLMAO:

Hi Paul, As far as I am aware, the Facebook pages are "owned/run" by different folks who are not related to this site and forums.

I was out and about in my Trophy earlier... but certainly didn't have a bike on the roof. Well, not when I left home and then returned a few hours later! :ROFLMAO: We need to grab a coffee sometime!

Hold on a minute... I'm not comfortable with dropping the second breakfasts. You're taking this far too seriously! :ROFLMAO: (y)

It's a "yes" from me. :ROFLMAO:

Is that the "Slophy" that I spy in the background... :ROFLMAO: (y)

Well, the insomnia has kicked-in worse than usual so I decided to add a new feature overnight (it has just gone live). There is a new option on the menu to view brief details of retired (scrapped) Trophys. (y)

Update... As TrophyTracker 2.0 is still some way off, I have given the existing version a bit of a refresh. Some of the changes include: A revamped user interface - not too different from the old version Removed obsolete features Lots of minor tweaks to improve presentation (especially on...

I'm still using the Trophy as the daily. However, with a bit of decent weather today, I managed to get the other daily out. :ROFLMAO: In all seriousness, I might have to consider getting a real daily depending on where my next job role takes me. Mind you, I'm more than happy to use the Trophy...

Thank you Mr. Ed! :cool:(y)

Thanks again, Ed - tremendous work! Payment sent!

"SLOPHY"... :ROFLMAO: (y)

A+, Ed. :cool: (y) A lovely narrative as always. I have to confess, I do enjoy the B4407... it's a bit of a gem and, as you say, was fairly recently given a fresh layer of tarmac. I have friends who live in Denbighshire and we often take a steady jaunt over the Evo Triangle, join the A5...

I'm not familiar with this "daily driver" concept... :ROFLMAO:

Thanks for your help/contributions over the years, @MarcB - good luck and best wishes with whatever comes next. (y)
