Ha. You made me look at EK9's. This, whilst looking like a shed, is my type of car: http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/573123.htm

That looked buggered lol. Although, i honestly cant remember the last time i hit the limiter, in any car!!

With only 40k miles?

Could you have not just subtely understeered into it to remove the stickers? You drive an A3, so it could easily happen ;)

I'm no mechanical genius, but surely if a bit of the gearbox was lying in the road, that would require there to be a ruddy great big hole in the gearbox?! Personally, id ask to see said hole in the box, just to ensure that the garage isnt shafting you for a box/as opposed to a driveshaft!

Personally, i dont see anything wrong with buying a 182 Cup, in fact, id say it was preferable. Why? No climate - the dash panel will break anyway No Leather Steering wheel - it rips/falls apart, retrim if your that bothered No Xenons - cheaper bulbs/less expensive to fix No leather seats...

Sod paying an extra £2-3k for a diff colour & heated seats!!

Have spoken to owner at length about this, he is also on M3Cutters so easy to search his posts etc. Was planning on part-exing the derv plus a couple of grand for it, but he sorted an A4 derv out instead. If i was a cash buyer & wanted SMG, id be all over it like a rash.

lol, you numpty. Iirc, you need driveshafts, wishbones & hubs btw. Could be wrong though mind. Trophy's are epic though ;)

lol ... thought you got the FK's setup at JMS like 2 weeks ago ?

Car looks sublime!! Bet its a right animal to drive. The car the V6 wishes it was iirc. EFA

Lol, really dont think that lot have to worry about not having enough polish on their cars ;) The forums a subsidiary of detailingworld iirc ...

lol, i've only wased it once. Ollie/JMS have twice though. Used the 2 bucket method iirc. In all seriousness, for a track car, i find that mud/dirt/grime protect the car better than anything else. The stones on track just bounce off, & the sun cant get through the much to damage the paint...

Im out as getting jabs for Thailand.

You buy a 1.2, you take s**t. You join Cliosport, you take more s**t. Your post count gets a little higher, you take less s**t. Till one day you're up in the rarefied atmosphere of Trophy ownership and you've forgotten what s**t even looks like. Welcome to the layer cake. Good choice of car...

This. Even on track im more than happy with my setup tbh, the only reason id change it now is to go lower, for cosmetic reasons, which is a stupid way to spend £1500. If i was chasing lap times, my answer might be different, but im not.

Now on just under 112k (June 20th), so done just over 9k in 4 months. Averaging 45-48mpg depending on how much traffic i have to sit in, giving a tank range of about 650 miles. Still very pleased with it, tempted to upgrade to a 330cd Sport at some point in fact. Really is a perfect daily.

EFA

lol, guess what that is?

I think you'll both find my post was slightly ironic. You are aware of what i drive no? FLOL.

I cant see how thats an ethical dilema in the slightest. Its not like you're planning on modifying the Trophy, which iirc was made by 18 yr old female French virgins fed only on a diet of unicorn blood & fillet steak. Playing with one is similar to f*cking your mum tbh.

1. Jamesstone 2. Sir_Dave (possibly)

Looks like i'll have to bodge something then :o

Essentially, my CL pads are moving around within the calipers and rattling like buggery. Do i need to find some shims for them? I had removed them for my DS2500's so assumed it would be the same for these! Perhaps not?

1000bhp, ATW. In an M3. Win.

The only clio that u can insure as a classic is the Trophy ;)

Nope, full day with Easytrack. I dont like RS days anymore :(

Excellent, be interesting see how much quicker a race car is than a 'quickish' road/track car!! With you driving of course, my 320d would quicker with Tom at the wheel ;)

Personally id also put the heater back in, i can imagine a heated screen being great, but it doesnt demist ure side windows in the rain ... We also have a spare uch/lockset etc if u need it. Not sure about loom, ask mike.

lol. C*nts. Had to make the most of the posh sh1tter at the northeners campsite ... didnt want to do a 'TomLewis' now did i ;)
