Funny you should mention that .... after much umming and ahhing as of late, i've finally gone & bought some new wheels.
I couldnt bring myself to buy reps, even if they were sexy CSL ones, so four minty fresh OEM 19's are being collected on Wednesday :cool:
Just need a couple of tyres for...
Great family car tbh!
Rather amusingly (& despite the fact i found the Ed30 boring), i still look at Gti's as a future 'sensible family man' purchase.
Black 5dr with leather, xenons & nav please :cool:
Just like yours, but with a proper engine ;OP
Nice bus, considered buying both the ST220/Tdci a few times, but the lure of the roundel was/is always too strong ...
Drive blooming nicely though, & rather surprisingly (for a Ford) hold their value pretty well!
Normally this is a question that would be asked before you get the work done lol ...
Re: the other poster, lambda's arent hugely expensive iirc, & well, try & 2nd hand cat - plenty on here for sale.
Or leave a crate of Stella on the passenger seat when you go in for the re-test ;)
So he had the TWIN vanos fixed? Thats not an engine rebuild lol ... just probably cost the same as an engine rebuild ;)
Good pics btw, i've had an RB & a Trophy, so nice to see some clean pics of them.
They're pretty much exactly the same bar the LSD surely lol ...
From memory, James' problem was that there was no drama, it drank fuel, parts were expensive & the engine sounded like a dishwasher.
Other than that it was great ;)
Yes.
Normal 182 with 65k: £3000
Turinis: £450
Ktec Coilovers: £400
Recaro's: £650
TOTAL: £4500
vs. Trophy.
To compare it to a 306 Rallye is daft, we both know the Rallye was just a cheapo version of the Gti6, no additional benefits whatsoever, just less to break. As such, they have no...
Swop :p
Nah, i bought it on 170k. Company owned till 168k, then the 2nd owner had it for 2k before flogging it to me.
Crazy mileage, but still pulls like a good 'un :D
Currently at just under 27, have been driving a bit more enthusiastically as of late though ... done 1000 miles in 10 days lol.
For reference, thats about £220 in Tesco 99
You buy a 1.2, you take sh1t.
You join Cliosport, you take more sh1t.
Your post count gets a little higher, you take less sh1t.
Till one day you're up in the rarefied atmosphere of Trophy ownership and you've forgotten what sh1t even looks like.
Welcome to the layer cake.
Right, as im awesome, football is now booked for next week.
Everyone had better turn up as i stayed up last night until 00:01 to book it lol ...
Tuesday 8th November: 9-10pm Staines Leisure Centre.

Ha ha, pulled it out of Nik's gallery. Needs updating really, amphasite is spelt wrong & the usernames listed are a bit old ...
