What's the long-term plan for this car now the R26 is back? Is it a keeper or are you going to get rid?

Lovely stuff mate, it's a shame but also a great opportunity to really get stuck in. Good luck with it all, and with the new job :)

In the last couple of weeks I've installed a Möbius dash cam. I picked it up from Joovuu and after a bit of tweaking with the settings I'm pretty happy with the output. It's such a small device and I've gone for a standard suction mount rather than try and conceal it, but it's not a daily anyway...

Welsh Weekender next year - everyone invited! CS does Wales. Tidy, boyo.

I imagine responses will depend on what your 90% road use consists of. Is that a commute of 100 motorway miles each day, or 5,000 miles a year mainly blasting along A and B roads?

@TimR26

Good vid, enjoyed that. What a caaaant!

Who got time in the passenger seat?

I totally agree with what you and basket491 are saying, but not everyone buys a Trophy to keep it standard in order to protect its resale value and make it as easy to sell as possible. Sure, the man who supercharges a v6 is brave, but if he has a handful of other cars, is never going to sell...

Better? You mean slower, and the same as all other Trophys? I know what you're saying but shouldn't we praise people for doing something different? Maybe if the price was £5.5k you'd think differently? How come? At the end of the day it's just a cheap, French hot hatch. I know the Trophy is a...

Good effort, I half expected you to say 1,000 ;) It's such a fantastic combination of practicality and brutal performance. A great looking (and sounding), uncommon car. Kudos.

How many miles have you done in that year?

There's a chap near Bicester Village by Oxford, that's an RS specialist. There's also a chap in Newbury who I've heard good things about - another specialist.

This x1,000,000 It's hard to think of another car on the forum that has been mechanically modified to such a high standard with top quality parts, while retaining a near standard look. The perfect BG?

The gun on my Nilfisk E1*0 (G4 gun, I think) has just failed - water just shoots out from the trigger. Not used all that much in the last few years so I'm quite disappointed. Anyone else experienced similar? Is the solution new o-rings or just buy a new gun for £30?

Those damn ice road truckers

Personal preference - nobody can tell you what your opinion should be, you either like it or you don't.

Are you doing the belts yourself or getting someone else to do them for you?

Aren't they less than £100 each from Larkspeed, who also offer lifetime warranty.

I assume your premium next year will be significantly more than this year due to your non-fault accident?

I can't make this anymore - it's the same weekend as the Clio Trophy Welsh Weekender.

Congratulations! I don't know about Rob's setup but I just bought a roll of car carpet on eBay, used a cardboard template and cut it to size. Cheap solution, fits perfectly and looks very clean.

And not a Clio in sight! At least the Rallye is French...

Did he admit full liability? Were there any witnesses? What was he driving and what was the extent of his damage?

Personally it's a Quaife for me, purely for the 'fit & forget' aspect. I appreciate Gripper now have a much longer period between servicing, but the Quaife fits my needs best.

Buy one get one free?

Group buy?

I spent ages trawling Amazon for what I was looking for but with no joy - turns out I just wasn't using the right search terminology. 2 minutes on the Halfords site and I've found what I want, and Amazon does better and cheaper ones! Result. Thanks chap
