Ha ha, the standard seats are much more supportive anyway!! Dont look as nice mind :(
Yah, sold the cage, buckets, steering wheel & wheels a couple of weeks back. Had intended to sell it, but with the M3 having a George Best style drinking habit, im now using this to commute in occasionally to...
Good choice Ed!! Very quick buses these.
Be prepared for single figure mpg if you drive it properly though, maybe you'll get 28 if you cruise at 50mpg for 100 miles ;)
Dont worry about modding it anymore though, seriously with cars like these you just need a couple of k in the bank for when it...
BUt i havent fitted the new wheels yet, or lowered it lol :S
Yup, they have about 15 layers of poorboys stuff on them at the moment (previous owner), so they should be fine. Probably.
Why thank you :o Yeah, next Staines meet is for www.bmwsport.net iirc ...
Meh, will do in a mo, been busy...

So, last night the Trophy got its bi-annual clean purely as Ollie got so fed up with it looking rank that I got ordered over to the bodyshop for a spruce up. Needless to say, as we are all keen detailers, we thought we should document the process we used so that others...
Well, considering that i now owe Spelthorne Council £360 having block booked 10 weeks starting 29th November (9-10pm slot), its safe to say that if the £36 each doesnt get paid, sh1t will get real, & people will get be getting CCJ's in the post ;)
Think i paid £1850 for my 106 gti when i was 21, didnt really care though as it was a car that id wanted for years. Other than than, its always been about £400-£850 per year, depending on what im driving at the time.
Although for the last 12 months, ive had two policies, ouch.
Insurance is...
Not too bad at all tbh, didnt even use the scraper i bought !! Stuff cost naff all from eBay as well. Winner.
I agree, silver looks much better than the shadow chrome. Think that with them changed & the tints removed, the colour of the car will really come alive, just need to give it a good...
Personally i also prefer the look of a standard 330ci Sport, the CSL reps, tints & black grills tend to cheapen the car a little.
EG OEM FTW, IMHO
Depos are a must though!! I need to buy some more ...
You'll reply, arrange a meeting, he wont be able to make it, then will pay you via western union & his brother in nigeria will collect it using a carriage pulled by a fleet of unicorns. I responded to one of these emails once for sh1ts & giggles, it went downhill/more obviously dodgy quite...
Cheers! Had got the point where i was actually starting to hate it lol ....
Prolines are 20mm front/10mm rear so just enough lows without it looking broken ...
Its ok, bit truck like when its cold though lol ...
Right, big update time, Sarah was ill all weekend, so i basically spent Saturday & Sunday tinkering with things :D
First things first, the EML light had been coming on sporadically over the past 2 weeks, so after a quick diagnosis with INPA...
I disagree, & iirc ive driven on this particular set of H&Rs lol ... Sachs is a better road setup, in fact theyre simply superb, hence why i still have mine :)
Driving > looks
Oh!! Didnt realise you could get MO6's in Clio fitment?
Would have had some years ago if that were the case lol ...
Looks great, although seriously, put normal wheel bolts back on, those stud things look horrific :(
To be honest, they didnt sound all that impressed that we had been diddling them out of 12 quid a week ... Think 36 will have to do ;)
Still bargaintastic compared to Goals at 60 quid an hour lol!!!
Have now refitted a standard 182 airbag wheel & 172 interior to the Trophy and the sodding SERV & AIRBAG lights wont go out.
Put the resisters in under the seats as per Boosh's guide, but still no joy
Seemed that the rear seatbelts had a wire attached to them as well, but had no idea where to...
