I wouldnt be so sure of that, shame I've got no service history or MOT's to back it up though :( Is genuine, honest. Not sure if the cambelt has ever been done, has a big crack in it, but ive bought some coilovers instead. Priorities.

Well yes, i currently have some clocks from a 52k mile 182 under my desk at work. 30 mins and some fiddling with dashbard and the Trophy (which currently has 185k on it), would have 52k miles and be worth about 3 grand more ... OP - does this clio have any history? I've asked before, but was...

Nope. Tbh, the car isnt that bad, would look rather splendid with some 19" spiders in fact, but the attitude in here is lol'able.

A 2003 520i se is worth £4-5k btw.

He failed as soon as he said 535i. I picked up on that pages ago.

Not sure how they compare yet, i couldnt get my Sachs refurbed at a sensible price in time for Llandow, so i bought the H&R's instead ... At the end of the day though, up until about 2009, when everyone on CS became an expert in suspension and needed full adjustment of every variable via the...

Not bad, although looking at the pictures, it is a non-cup pack pack silver 182, ie the least desirable out of the lot. It is also waaaay overdue a cambelt service, so yeah, its a pretty decent deal, but it will end up costing you £3.5k all in really. What service history does it have just...

So these arrived on Monday morning, so we're going to have a crack at fitting them on Friday evening. Actually fitting them shouldnt be too much of a concern, but im quite interested to hear people's thoughts on height, etc. My current plan to to drop the the car about 10mm further down than...

E60 535i? Didnt even realise we got that engine/spec in the UK ...

De-chromed, with a black rear splitter & 19" Spiders that would great. Like this in fact: At the moment, it unfortunately looks a bit 'Cat D' due to the e90 wheels and Silver bits.

Yeah, Sarah hates it, she prefers that i pick her up from places in the Trophy lol. Despite its facelifted, xenon wearing, heated seat clad epicness. She keeps telling me to buy another coupe, or a convertible. FFS. Women. 'Pressure' Washer was from here...

Same tbh, the dashboard/interior is terrible on both, so as long as it has Recaros i see no reason not to look at a Cup. In fact, the benefit of buying a cup is that it will have the revised box, whereas an R27 might not. Looking at the prices Steve's quoting, im not entirely how sure i...

Ok, so i'll go against the grain completely here. Personally, i wouldnt spend all your money on a 'mint' one, in fact, i never do. I'd buy a cheap one, but factor in the price getting the work done yourself, either via a specialist on here, or via your own hardwork, prior to buying. Then you...

Funny you should say that ... On Saturday, it was time to swop over the front wheel bearing, so after a quick exchange of £75 (down from £100 via 25% off code) at ECP for my premium quality 'FAG' wheel bearing, i got down to business. Having not done one before, i used the following guide...

£430 for standard refurb £700 for refurb + shafts £820 for refurb, shafts + adjusters As said above though, im currently in the process of getting some refurbed, for half what BG charge, so ill be postings my findings over the coming weeks. In addition, ive just bought some H&R coilovers to...

Was looking epic until i noticed that someone had stolen your Recaros ;)

I've currently got a set being assessed, so dont make any decisions until ive got some feedback lol ...

Yeah, good little cars, & cost 9/10 of bugger all to run :)

Depends entirely what you need tbh. I personally drive a 330i Sport Touring which owes me less than 3 grand, but covers pretty much all bases. Its quick, well built, spacious, has nice handling and is fairly cheap to run. Its also at the bottom of its depreciation curve, so in 3 years, when...

I see absolutely no reason to buy a Vauxhall when a slightly older BMW is the same money.

Partly to improve areas that i feel need attention, partly to stop me getting bored. Trophy is the only car that gets tinkered with though, im too old/sensible to mess with my main car.

Yup, price has dropped about 15 a side over the past month or so, bargaintastic now!!

Re: Sir_Dave's Trophy. The 182 on (nearly) 182k ... Ah yes, forgot, bought one of those Richbrook slant ones as well ...

Re: Sir_Dave's Trophy. The 182 on (nearly) 182k ... I said i was getting coilovers, not that i'd be slammin it in de weeds yo ;) I quite like how it sits on the Sportlines, so i cant imagine ill have it that much lower in all seriousness - i also enjoy B road blasts too much to compromise bump...

Nope

Re: Sir_Dave's Trophy. The 182 on (nearly) 182k ... Oh for sure. They're much more likely to see a race track on my car as well :rasp: Yanoo stiff shift & brass bushes - just arrived Vibrateyourfoillingsout engine/gearbox mounts - in the post And the piece de resistance, something which i...

Ah, thats better :cool: Just the wheel bearing to change tomorrow now.

Urgh. Would have gone for anthracite again!! Personally, i like the standard finish against Nimbus ...

Sod the Ferraris, why has Sam got a sodding Macca GT3 car in his garage?

Trophy tax ;) Just like ///M tax, but for Renaults.
