    Mini JCW

    They're arch liners, under the f*cking car you bunch of weirdos. Let them get dirty 😂 If you want to clean/polish something until you can lick your dinner off it, take the head off & do the valves.

    182 vs Trophy- can you tell the difference on the road?

    Personally, i found it fairly easy to notice the difference between a normal 1*2, the Trophy and the Trophy on H&R coilovers. I did a brief write-up on the latter two options here: Sir_Dave's Trophy. 1 x Miley Shed. The beauty of the T is that it was 100% OEM from the manufacturer, you can...

    182 Cat C- sell, keep or track?

    Keep the car, do track days, dont bother about the cambelt. If/when it eventually blows up (probably wont), break it & make more money than you would selling it as a whole anyway.

    Another MCS. The track day toy.

    So with a deposit now placed on the R56, i swopped the Turinis/AD08R's back onto the R53 yesterday afternoon. With it being nice & sunny, i also decided to fit the Aero front bumper that's also been clogging up the shed for aaaaaages .... Before: After: Now, here is the slightly off-kilter...

    106 GTi, ten thousand pounds.

    Hai. £10k is a lot for a 106 gti that they havent even prepped properly. But considering Clio V6's are now £25-45k, are no quicker than a 1*2 and handle like a broken 911, anything is possible 😂

    My R32

    Yup, i was more than happy with my AP coilovers, although i would also recommend fitting a Whiteline/Superpro Anti-Lift kit whilst its all apart. The combination of the two made for a far sweeter handling car imho!
  7. Sir_Dave

    My friend's modified ED30 (Love/Hate)

    Same. Although if the spoilers/diffuser have been added with the intention of reducing lift, which naturally, i assume they have, i cant see that having the exhaust sticking out one side of the car will help with airflow. Surely it would create a pressure area meaning that the car would turn...

    Mini JCW

    Now that, is very nice, lovely spec!! Coupple of suggestions for you though: Bilstein Coilovers - Dont bother, they rattle on the GP2's. If you want premium, buy Ohlins, for £800 buy Meister R/ST XTA/BC Racing Mich Supersport 4s - yup, perfect choice Drilled front discs with EBC yellowstuff pads...

    Trophy 220- Opinions...

    Can i suggest that you pm which dealer it is to @The Boosh! - considering he works for Renault & runs this site, i'm sure he'd love to know which utterly inept dealer it is.

    My R32

    Looks absolutely lovely!!!

    Weekend toy, what you got?

    Like my Mini, that's because you never actually drive it though 😂

    Weekend toy, what you got?

    Thanks! Full project thread is here: http://www.cliosport.net/threads/another-mcs-the-track-day-toy.755737/ but brief spec is: JCW airbox, newman cam, 450 injectors, GRS I/C, remap (225bhp), bigger R56 brakes, coilovers, ARB, adjustable front/rear camber, bucket seats, etc etc etc. It goes...

    Haven't driven it since last May, but this will be going back on the road soon i imagine:

    JoeyD's MX5 NC Recaro

    Absolutely love this car!!

    E91 Alpina D3 Bi-Turbo - A slight downgrade

    You need Birch like in my old e46 really, maximum Jewlevels.

    Cookie's Golf R32

    Same. Those rear springs pretty much fall out when you jack the car up from memory!! Maybe one bolt to drop the rear sub-frame thingy. These are my coilovers, but similar.
  17. Sir_Dave

    Cookie's Golf R32

    Ah you should have fitted some H&R springs!!! They look great on them ... and less likely to fail again than the OEM ones. The OEM dampers are Bilstein iirc, so springs work fine.

    Audi RS3

    That's what i did initially, but it just made the car feel a little slow at town speeds - will probably take a lot of messing around to find something i'm happy with. Would prefer to have an "RS" button like the "M" button in the e90 that holds the best personal settings, is a bit of a faff...

    Audi RS3

    Ha ha, they are massively Bradford i do agree, but seeing that i live in a nice part of Surrey, sans badmaz, its not so much an issue. I haven't actually seen another one down here, its Golf R's that are everywhere 🙈 Price wise, i paid £30.5k, so hopefully a fairly good deal ... Sorry...

    Audi RS3

    No chance lol. I cant imagine even PS4S' can stop 1750 kgs of Audi understeering through a corner at 130 😂 With our wedding next year & pre-booked holidays, i actually have no holiday available for 2017-18 anyways lol, so after the day at Goodwood on the bank holiday, i cant imagine...

    Audi RS3

    I know exactly what you mean, but i guess i fancied something a little more "adult" & comfortable for my 1 hour morning traffic jam commute, hence i was looking at DSG Golf's initially. Being brutally honest, i only bought it because i've (hopefully) bought it at a price whereby it wont lose any...

    Audi RS3

    @ForceIndia I might just put R888's on the front, Wanli's on the back, instant oversteer despite Audi. Also, if you like our collection, I have a number of mini's you can purchase if you would like :tonguewink:😂
  23. Sir_Dave

    Audi RS3

    Nah, is just the standard one, no "interconnecting pipe", already checked. First owner was a doctor, so they just specced the nice ride, not the badmanz exhaust unfortunately 😞

    Mini R56 JCW

    Ha ha :kissingheart:
  25. Sir_Dave

    Audi RS3

    Firstly, this wasn't an intentional purchase, i was perfectly happy with my green Mini and obviously Audi's are for people that like to understeer everywhere, xenons blazing. Especially the faux by faux ones with auto boxes. The Golf Gti/R however, had my interest, so i was looking at them...

    Mini R56 JCW

    Nah, he wanted too much money. And his probably smelt of pigs. Wasn't planning on buying one at all (i was looking at Golf Gti/R's), but a work associate was looking to trade this in, so i said id have it. lol. First attempt at parking, definitely longer than than a Mini 😂
  27. Sir_Dave

    Mini R56 JCW

    Perhaps. I'll see if anyone wants it as it is first though ... The sad time has now come however, as i picked up a nice sensible automatic Audi on Thursday With that in mind, the R56 is now definitely up for sale...

    Kahn design, Bradford

    Yes, id imagine that compared to N. Ireland, the prices over here are quite ridiculous!! Considering your current occupation & the work that you've done on that e-type recently, one of my customers might be worth a look: Crosthwaite & Gardiner...

    Kahn design, Bradford

    Bradford is a complete & utter sh1thole. Mind you, it makes Birmingham, your last choice, seem positively radiant. On the flipside, if you are looking to buy a badly repaired/bodykitted/tinted/badmanz spec Cat C M3/RS3/AMG there are a multitude of garages that will be able to service your...
