You're right, they dont feel especially quick, too smooth for their own good really. But it will pull from 1k rpm in 6th, & when you spend a lot of time in rush hour, on the M3, a lazy/torquey drive is more important than outright speed tbh. And yeah, the 320d does the job very well, but i...

Oh yeah, it will be, when the Trophy gets part-ex'd for a house, ill buy an M3 as it still offers a very good blend of mile munching motorway ability/handling/speed, etc. But for the moment, whilst i can afford it, i feel that two cars are still the better option. Colour wise, i like blue 3...

Basically i was going to sell the 320d & the Trophy, so test drove a few e46 M3's with a view to buying one. Now, here are the words that i never thought would exit my mouth. Utter disappointment. Nowhere near as raw as my old Z3M, quick, but no real feeling of speed, & certainly not as fun...

Shame the steering lacks the detail of your photos. Best colour though :)

I've said this on the other forum, but meh: 1. Your tyres are not track orientated. The name 'RainSport' would suggest that they arent an awesome tyre when really hot on a trackday. Get some decent tyres. 2. You've changed all the suspension & not had it setup - for example, i changed the...

FLOL. That is all.

Looks ok. Although the Powerflow exhaust & tints would suggest its owned by a poor person, who probably hasnt maintained it properly. For that reason. Im out.

Quite an interesting review in Evo actually ... e92 M3 always wins the road tests as at 9/10 of effort it offers just that little bit more, but .... on long-term test, its the TT RS keys that are desired the most. To be honest, having been out in a road test in one, i was very impressed. The...

911's always look the same. But Shirley that is the whole point?

I've considered this on a number of occasions tbh, but my main concern was that nobody would pay the full price of the tools to borrow them, even if they will get a refund upon return. Its simply too much wonga i reckon. In addition, as the owner of the tools, i would be concerned about how...

Without wishing to take this off topic. Yes. Gti6 caliper & pads, along with clio 1*2 DS2500 pads is quite ridiculous on a saxo.

Mmmm, 4 pots .... I bought some Tarox 6 Pots for my old saxo as it happened, but decided it might be slight overkill seeing as the Gti6 setup would lock the front wheels at 70mph :o

Tee hee :rasp: Great thread btw, i do something similar on Pistonheads with their calculator. For comparison, the Trophy has cost me just under £5500 exc. fuel since last September - thats including buying it, a 2 grand service, all modifications, tax & insurance ;)

Nah, whilst they both drive like a playstation, the R32 at least sounds nice & is a pretty colour. Ed30 is utter junk by comparison.

Nice shed ;) With cams & ITB's, that should be a genuine 165bhp or so. Which in a stripped Rallye, will be pretty obscene, like 230bhp per ton lol.

Ditto. RIP. The crash looked uterly horrific as well tbh, i'm not posting those types of picture on here.

He sold it i think, for £100k + .... also sold one of the e30 M3's he bought for £80k. After buying both of them for £80k .... Win win.

Looking good so far!! The question is? Who has the ponciest race car, you, or JMS ....

Most fun hot hatch ever imho. Preferable even to the 205 gti. Looks a very nice example, might i suggest Bilstein B8's/Faulkner 155lb -35mm springs, Raceland 4-2-1 manifold & induction kit, a SaxSport exhaust & Gti6 brakes if you ever do decide to play with it. Nothing more needed.
