Cheeky sod. Looks lovely from 10 foot away, just like the Trophy :rasp:
Vein - re: the Depo's, i seem to have lost them somewhere lol. So will be buying another set this weekend - as such, if you do like mine & want some, dont buy any until i have turned the house inside out. I might have 2...
Right, am on the verge of block booking this for 10 weeks.
Price is now at £3.60 per hour, per person as they've realised that James' Student card ran out a year ago ...
Obviously, with this costing me £360 on day one, i'll need £36 each from all regulars (below) on the 1st day of playing, for...
Probably about 900 quid so far on bits & bobs to make it mint. Once the old bits have sold, it'll end up being 700 or so.
Had budgeted for a grand on top of what i paid for it - so anything less than that is a bonus ...
As above. Tuition/driving ability will make you enjoy it far more than Raceland coilovers or Silvervisions. I once attended a session at Castle Coombe in a friends TT & after being laughed out of the car park, we proceeded to lap everything there. Including a couple of M3's ;)
Ability = more...
Ha ha, yeah, have to get it out my system before i buy a house next year lol .... & Nick just gave into peer pressure ;)
Knowing me, about 5 minutes!! Then they'll stay dirty for about 6 months ...
Floor was checked by Cooper Thames Ditton last Thursday - all fine :D
Had a good over it whilst it was up in the air as well, pleased to report that its not two cars stuck together ...
Collected these s3xy things last night as well, seller was a lover of detailing, so its safe to say that they...
Considering my track car is FWD ....
I enjoy both, but feel that with that power, 4WD/RWD would be a more suitable transmission for pleasurable progress.
R26's are quick (albeit souless) busses on track though, so this must be a weapon.
Re: 'Sir_Dave's Caged, Cleaned & Toyed-with Shed Trophy Paedo Wagon
Ha ha, as Ollie mentions, there's a strong possibility that a similar conversation was had at the weekend ... :o
Not that ill let her take the credit for it of course ;)
Very impressive figures tbh, BUT, i simply dont see the point in putting that much power through the front wheels.
Diff/sticky tyres or not, it simply wont have the handling characteristics to make the most of it in a cornering situation.
Straight line (yawn) possibly, but meh, where's the...
Re: My first sport - Ph1 172
Looks good Ryan. Also very impressed that you've got from one french heap with a duff box to another ;)
Not to worry though, FailSport have the parts/fitting ability.
NB. No warranty given or implied. Ever.
Re: 'Sir_Dave's Caged, Cleaned & Toyed-with Shed Trophy Paedo Wagon
Having fitted some s3xy sheep wheels recently, i decided that the CL pads would have to come off, asap, to ensure that they didnt get f*cked by brake dust. Upon inspection, it would seem that the pads had eaten my discs in...
We do yeah. At the moment, Staines is the only option due to James' student card - meaning we pay £22 per hour.
Elsewhere, without such a card its £38-45 per hour!!
Now, id quite happily pay a fiver a week for footy if it meant i could actually play regularly, but not sure whether anyone else...

Unfortunately though, i went online at 12:10 last night & some f*cker had already booked next week.
Can people remind me to get a block booking form tonight please.
Yeah, mines not doing so many miles anymore, although i've still done 9k miles in the past 14 months ...
Did 18k in 5 months in my first 182, 23k in 11 months in my 172 cup, 10k in 5 months in the last Trophy :)
Ha ha, nope not made of money!! The OEM forged 19's are about £600 each from BMW :S
Apparently these ones were only fitted to the car for about 3 months when new, before he upgraded to genuine CSL's.
Decided that i'm going to split the commute between the M3 & Trophy as well - partly because...
Ah bugger, completely forgot to have a look at that for you!! Try wanging a bit of hose pipe in the rear exhaust mount to hold it up a bit higher ... Glad you like the seats!! I now feel like im sat on the clio, rather that in it, comfy though! Need to retrofit the cruise into your old steering...
Any idea's on how easy these are to adjust, on the Trophy i just maxxed them out & they are running -2.8 degrees, now i want -1.75.
Is that like 'half a turn' less or do i need to pay someone to set them up for me ....
