Nah, was nothing wrong with it, dyno'd at 240bhp on SRR iirc. Most of my mileage (well up until this week) was sat at 80-90 mph on my private motorway, & i never got more than 29mpg out of the ed30, similar to the R32. Big turbo on the Ed30 didnt help at those speeds/revs, the Gti ive borrowed...

I get exactly the same mpg out of my R32 than i did in the Ed30. You want fast, buy an M3.

You need as well btw. They look epic in the Gti tartan.

Part of the reason why i just went for the R32, all the good bits are standard ;) By the time you've specced up the Golf, you might as well just pay the extra fuel on the proper engined one.

Ha ha, clios are 99% awesome, we can certainly agree on that :race:

You never driven a 911 i assume? Where all the weight is out over the back wheels? Tbh, the clio is fun whether its working perfectly well or knackered. The Trophy does suffer from understeer on the limit, so with additional weight in the boot and/or more camber on the front/stiffer rear end...

Just out of interest, why is mild oversteer a bad thing in a FWD car exactly? I look forwards to your response.

Looks lovely, does need an RNS510 though ... oh, and a remap ;) Also, it might be worth your while pulling one of the wheels of the check the part numbers, they dont look genuine to me, offset seems slightly wrong and the colouring is way off (unless they've been refurbed). The Goodride tyres...

Is it wrong that i used to drive the Trophy around with 1 knackered rear damper, 3 ton of tools in the boot & whiteline set to 'f*cking stiff' all the time just to get this wonderful effect?

Was on 187k when i sold it to Nick iirc.

About the same as an M3 tbh, circa 27-29mpg on the motorway at a real 75-80mph - bear in mind that the Golf speedo overreads by 10%, the e46 less than 5%, so you always think that you are going faster than you actually are in the Golf. My average over 10k miles is 28.3mpg, although it will drop...

More than likely ;)

Can you not just add it as a tempporary car to your main insurance policy? Thats what ive always done in the past - usually up to 28 days at a time. I've also noticed that you can have a taxed, but uninsured car on your driveway for over a month without getting any letters about it, so i...

You'll forgive me if i carry on calling this one the 'RaceCup' instead of the 'TrackCup', otherwise ill just get confused with Ollies. Looks good though Nicholarse, bet it runs better with an air filter on it as well ;)

7 times lol.

You want me to check? Just need your date of manufacture or last 7 seven digits of your VIN number.

Swirl flaps removed i hope? Otherwise you'll have another engine sh1tting itself lol ...

What engine did you go for in the end?

Herospec. Loved mine bar the slushbox, although i do prefer the MV1's.

Proper car that whilst dated is still just blooming awesome. Amazing how the e39 just shrinks around you when driving as well!! Something special about an ///M. Made me look at breadvans again ffs.
