lol ... i spend more time looking at 545i's though if im honest ... V8 yo.

So then, whats the mpg like so far .... I keep find myself looking at manual 530d's ;)

My Trophy does roughly 35mpg to each & every tank - will do more, but i cant be bothered with sitting at 65mph to save a quid. Roughly 300 miles until the light comes on iirc.

Running 175bhp ATW according to the owners forum :) Reputedly has a forged bottom end as well ...

It'll be fine, as long as its not shaped like a banana of course.

Just had the cambelt etc done by a well known trader/breaker on the Gti6 forum (he's selling it). Much cheapness: http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/3535285.htm Tempted myself, but dont need 3 cars lol ... Nom nom nom

Yup :quiet:

1. Dave 2. Couzens 3. Mike 4. Bigman 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. Hallam is out as Mike broke his foot last week in the 'epic' challenge ...

Looks mint Nick, as ever!! You do need silver grilles and a 318i badge though ;)

Absolute bargain! Surely its about £1-1.5k too cheap?

For tomorrow: 1. Dave 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.

Nice cage. If you sell it, let me know & ill probably have it back ;)

This. Although perhaps its god's punishment for not hpi'ing it yourself?

Got the special cam timing as well iirc ;) Jokes. Looks lovely, nothing better than a slightly lowered Trophy imho :D

:rofl: Looks great! Do very much have a soft spot for the silvery grey ones, was what i was looking for originally, before i found the Cadburys Dairy Milk edition ... bet you missed the rasp the most didnt you? Followed by the sound of six ITB's at nearly 8 thousand revs.

Re: 'Sir_Dave's Caged, Cleaned & Toyed-with Shed Trophy Paedo Wagon No real updates on the Trophy front at the moment, as its just been quietly doing its commuting job as & when for the past few months. FailSport did clean it in November, but that was detailed in this thread...

I know :( Thats why i sold all the bits, now looks like a dirty standard Trophy, like yours ;)

Epic wheels imho.

Bit of a bargain imho. Would make a great base for a track car!!!!

Was your engine off at the time lol?

Nah, not that bad actually!! Have spent just over a grand so far but still have the old wheels & nav to sell, which should realise 300 quid or so. I do keep a rainy day fund for it though, for when it bites me in the ass lol. I dunno, whereas i wanted to modify the clio's, i've always wanted to...

Another update, not very exciting, but meh, i like to keep it all noted down ... Took the M3 home to Cornwall for Christmas, averaged 31 mpg there & back which i was pleased with, especially seeing as i wasnt really hanging around ... still got through 100 quid in VPower, but hey ho, Christmas...

1. Dave 2. Ollie 3. Nick 4. Budgie 5. Vish 6. Tom? 7. Bigman? 8. Hallam? 9. JJS1979? 10. JJS1979? 11. JJS1979? 12. JJS1979? 13. JJS1979? I'd suggest bringing a few of the troops John, neither Tom, Bigman or Hallam are confirmed.

18" reps, standard suspension. Keep the barge Vish, other than petrol, its pretty cheap to run!

Looks awesome!!! If you think it sounds good now, try fitting a Devil de-cat as well ;)

Lol. Personally, i always heel & toe, whether it be on track, or on the daily 100 mile commute. Not only for mechanical sympathy, but for additional smoothness and control over the vehicle. Not all techniques will be used in every corner of course, but being skilled at them all will give you...

I'd be fine selling it to him tbh, very well known in the RSport 2nd hand market. Has sold about 100 Trophy's iirc. Like Steve Murr on here basically.
