Re: 'Sir_Dave's Caged, Cleaned & Toyed-with Shed Trophy Paedo Wagon
Ah yes, mucho thanks to Ollie, who took the day off specially to collect my car from work & go get it MOT'd ...
Hero ;)
Re: 'Sir_Dave's Caged, Cleaned & Toyed-with Shed Trophy Paedo Wagon
Another year, another MOT.
Passed, 1st time, with no advisories.
Didnt even have to buy the tester any Stella.
<3 my Trophy.
Angry Nick is angry ;)
Basically, over the years, ive ended up a wee bit short, & as everyone tends tends to scoot off at the end, sometimes its difficult to work out whose paid etc.
To be honest the main culprit is now farming carrots somewhere in inbred land near snetterton, but having...
Easy to get 40mpg out the R53 tbh. Just fit cams, smaller pulley, intercooler, new injectors, etc, then map it & the trip computer doesnt work properly any more.
In reality, the standard one i borrowed struggled to get 30 on my commute. Which is poor.
I would imagine that if the injectors have been changed, & the car rempapped, that the original values in the trip computer need to be changed via VAG-COM in order for it to work properly ;)
Either that, or you travel everywhere at 50mph lol
Quick reminder that our 10 week block booking starts tomorrow night 9-10pm.
Those that have already confirmed their interest are as follows - i will need £36 each prior to playing (ive paid £360):
1. Dave - confirmed (+ paid)
2. Ollie - confirmed
3. Mike - confirmed
4. Nick - confirmed (+...
Judging by this thread, if i did actually decat my Trophy id be able to actually overtake the M3's that held me up at Bedford, instead of just getting munched by them on the straights, then swarming all over them again in the corners.
Correct?
Personally, i could never be bothered with the extra noise & hassle of a de-cat for an extra 1-2bhp (maybe), which lets be honest, you wont notice anyway.
A good friend stayed there last year, was tempted to be honest, but much prefer being up the other end in Houx.
The walk from Tetra Rouge to Arnage is a killer once, let alone everytime you want to do anything lol ...
Nope, what makes a Trophy a 'Trophy' is the Sachs suspension & pink paint ;)
If i want another set of Recaro's ill buy the alcantara ones out of the later Evo 8. Nom nom nom.
I'd say the following were bare minimum breaking prices:
PH1: 1250
PH2 Cup: 1650
PH2 172: 1650
PH2 182: 1850
Thats for a standard one, main items, not bothering with all the interior plastics & other sh1t that add up over time.
Dont have a shed :(
Currently have the following in the spare room at home:
4 x 19" M3 alloys, 2 x 19" tyres, Depo indicators, e46 satnav unit, Pollen filter, 20 litres of oil, 4 x standard Trophy doorcards, 182 steering wheel, various tools, trolley jack, half a clio in random parts & spares...
