Torque is for towing caravans Tim ;)

Re: Sachs unpin’d, Koni rears and Mark Fish Springs Have you got the 'normal' rear koni's Ben or the Mark Fish super special 1 million pound ones?

So do i :rasp: Have you got a graph for yours Laine? Would be interesting to see how yours compares to Chips once they are both done :)

Re: Sachs unpin’d, Koni rears and Mark Fish Springs The MF'd Trophy i drove was waaaaay too stiff for road use, felt like the rear end was bobbing around all over the place lol ... Mine is still pinned at Renault settings which i find perfect for road driving (& never wanted to change it on...

Perhaps you could have tried an RS2 on your 'healthy' 186bhp engine, kept the goodness sealed in & got over 200bhp? Instead of pulling it all apart, fitting some cams and only gaining 5bhp ... which seemed like an utter waste of money lol.

This chap on M3cutters does VMR reps: http://forums.m3cutters.co.uk/showthread.php?t=33306 Apparently they come from the same factory as the real ones ...

It is a lovely colour isnt it! As you say, i love the way it looks different in pretty much every photo/lighting - got a real depth to it even at the moment as well, so god knows how it would look if a proper detailer got their hands on it ... instead of a pleb with a bucket & sponge like myself...

Would be rude not too really ... lol. Evil man!! We have the 7th & 14th left of the block booking - im assuming that everyone wants me to book it again?

Oh Luke doesnt mind, he just likes the attention to his thread ;) I have Turinis yo:

Just to clarify guys, there is no football on tomorrow night as the hall has been hired out for a charity event. Continues as per normal from the 7th Feb.

You had best get a hat ready then ;) Its actually mint under all the dirt lol.

Personally, id get the cam timing checked as well, might as well - only 50 quid or so, but removes that as the possibility of the power loss. If thats fine, then get the mapped looked into i guess? Timing is easier to check than a map though - i would have thought?

Cheeky fook. I'm gonna clean it at the weekend, gonna get the claybar out & everything.

Yeah, ATR ones. Sod spending 850 quid on the Trophy ones lol.

Thought i'd stick a couple of pictures up now the outside of the car is finished, & in the latter photos ... clean. First up a weekend away to Cardiff for Sarah's dads birthday a couple of weeks back. As Richard (her bro) lives quite close to the Brecons it made sense for us to take two cars...

Great picture Luke!! Strangely enough, all the recent threads have made me want to bring mine out of hibernation ... Might have bought it some Recaro's again yesterday actually :o

Smoooooth power curve :D Convoy ...

Probably the silver cup with the unmapped RS2 inlet .... i'll let him post up the graph though lol.

Surprise of the day? Mike's rustbucket lol ... Good day for Zee Germans: My M3 - 100k miles - 333bhp (just about there) Nicks M3 - 150k miles - 326bhp (should be 321, most do 305-310 max) Vishs 330 - 160k miles - 221bhp (just about there) Mikes 328 - 175k miles - 204bhp (should be 193!) Saners...

Shamelessly stolen from Pistonheads, but nevermind: Full article here Wahoo

I might even clean the car.

lol, i went in August FFS: Great roadtrip by the looks of things, San Bernadino, Furka & Stelvio are also good fun for next time ...

Some good work done here!! Fancy painting mine & removing the rust if i send you some Haribo?

Ive personally cleaned the Trophy once in 14 months ... Its a filthy shed. Mechanically however, its looked after money no object. Very much driven/tracked/enjoyed. The M3 is my commuting bus.

Blooming lucky not to be more seriously injured!! Fair play to the guys that stopped as well, natural instinct to go & help another i suppose - proper gentlemanly.

Personally, i would have preferred to see it on some 18" 5 spoke S-Line wheels like so: Looks like its trying a little hard now, especially without lowz.

lol, god knows, its a clio with 200 odd bhp - which in the grand scheme of things, isnt overly quick. Will be interesting to see how the project turns out though :)

Re: Clio Bargins. lol, i could be here all day ... Best one is probably buying a cheapo ITB'd clio, then breaking it, which subsequently payed for the Trophy.

Would prefer the wheels if they were silver! Also, your rear camber would suggest the need for adjustable tie bars lol ...
