Re: A Mini Adventure ... Yeah, i dont think spending the weekend with Richard and his 240bhp one is going to be helpful lol. Had to pedal the M3 a bit this time last year to keep up!! The whine is pretty amusing as it is, although with a few bits of tubing from B&Q you can build your own 'Dave...

Re: A Mini Adventure ... Ha ha, i did consider an old 5/740i or something, but I wanted low speed fun 1st and foremost, with a cheap buyprice, that was ok for work/my car allowance. Stupidly a mini is fine image wise, despite being older than the Trophy - which was deemed 'inappropriate for...

Re: A Mini Adventure ... Not really that bothered about mpg tbh, was happy enough with 28mpg doing 100 miles a day, now im doing under 10 lol.

Re: A Mini Adventure ... Oh i WANTED a Works GP, but wasnt prepared to pay an extra 9 grand for 2 less seats, 50bhp and a dodgy bodykit.

So yeah, took a deposit on the Trophy the other day, R32 will be up for sale shortly, & this will shortly be my sole mode of transport. As we're actually starting to look for a house now, cash in the bank is more important now really. '52 plate, 64k miles, full BMWSH, MOT/Tax till November...

They both use the same koni dampers, so they should be similar at a guess.

Everyone gets them from Eurocarparts as they are the UK distributor. Most car parts retailers buy their stuff from ECP so have a line with them. Hell, they even come in an ECP box from their distribution place lol. Im not gonna tell you what to do, but most people buy at one price, add...

I got from ktec, pretty much next day as well iirc. Awesome deal as well lol.

Jenveys & Omex iirc.

Well i never knew that! Thought it was just a mega boost/fuelling thingy. ShedTrophyV1 did it for a bit when something broke. Sounded cool :o

Talk to Chip_mk1 or andyrg

Not the one im getting, standard on some '05 onwards facelifts with Chili pack though iirc. Oh, & the Checkmate/Works GP.

My Ed30 was a massive disappointment & i couldnt wait to get rid of it. The R32 is awesome and i dont really want to sell it. I get the same 28mpg from both, tax is more in the R32 but it doesnt have a cambelt to change, or a turbo to worry about breaking. I also dont have to upgrade the brakes...

I love it. Needs to do that lovely big bhp thing where they idle at like 1500rpm though. Bwwwwwwwwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Think this was one of the 1st videos i watched on youtube:

Surely if its a track car it doesnt matter what it looks like? Just rip it off.

Mobile hair appointments iirc.

Would have been turning the Trophy into a trailer (or perhaps convertible/pickup) but someone has bought it now im afraid :dapprove:

I know that, but do you not think its a slightly daft view to take. They look the same. Only the owner of the wheels knows the difference, & yet is £1500 poorer. Clearly this isnt a car designed to go quickly round corners, so he wont be after the weight saving of going genuine ;) Just makes me...

Looks awesome. Although it does make me giggle that everyone loves the wheels, & yet they look exactly like Rota's, which everyone hates.

FailSport have one of those graphs as well: From our revolutionary induction kit: Takes the cold air from outside the car. Added 25bhp at Surrey Rolling Road.

Just read that page. Still have no idea why ktec still employ the remnants of GDI.

Wash your mouth out. We took delivery of something a little more special last night. Has a metal roof and everything.

Tax is only £460, not £550!! Compared to a 182 Trophy at £250, its only another £17.50 a month, so like 40 minutes work lol. 30mpg is possible on a journey if you sit at 75ish, average for me prior to moving to town was 27-28. Now sat in traffic most of the time its 25 or so. Im used to doing...

Oh rly.

You cant get Konigsports for cup packed 182's :( id also like to suggest H&Rs. Mine were epic on track. In fact, before everyone on CS decided that they haz to haz adjustables because racecar, they were THE setup to buy.

Havent really advertised it properly yet, just on here & the R32oc. Had a chap view the other day, agreed a deal, etc, promised a deposit, kept promising a deposit then bailed yesterday after his 'other car needed some work'. Cheers Rob :o you wanna buy it lol. Hopefully a house, but in the...

Deposit now paid by richjwilliams :D Recaros will be for sale shortly ...

Looks awesome, but 214bhp from a car that regularly doesn't quote its power, from just a remap & induction kit? Really?

Looks great, but cant help thinking the wheel offset is a bit corsa b on ripspeeds from halfords.

You're a muppet lol.
