Best of luck with the project mate, I'll pop back in from time to time to see how you're getting on.
Ps, cams are worth it no matter what the mileage, a good friend has just gained 15 bhp off a map and cams and his engine is on around 130k lol
Got an ibiza cupra tdi now chaps, been teasing myself with getting one for years and finally took the plunge. Really loved the trophy but it was becoming a session of paranoya (sp) everytime I took it somewhere, parked it and left it. It's that clean I would've murdered anyone who...
Just a word chaps, the trophy went today so I won't be on here as much, but if one of you can give me a shout when there's a meet on I'll bring whatever I've got at the time along to it.
Also if you need any help or anything just give me a shout
Me and my mate took the trophy and cup out for a blast along the stokesley/helmsley road this evening, hope you like the pics I grabbed

Been looking into getting this bad boy, would make things much easier when drying freshly cleaned cars and whilst polishing so you dont get annoying water residue on your bad and flicking it all over the car.
Also think it would make life easier when trying to hoover the car down by the sides...
Tbh mitch I always have decent plans for them but I get bored. I'm not bored of the trophy, I could just sit and look at it all day and be content.
I think I'm just going to keep it and keep it in the garage, I've just had an awesome quote off neil@greenlight and it makes no sense to get rid...
I know mate, I've wanted another for ages after 007 went belly up, however a city job and college coming up in september means I dont think I'll be able to afford to keep it or even have time to use it...properly :)
Probably hung up on everyone banging on about it has to have sachs dampers on....however that is just the fronts, the rears aren't all that and tend to fail on higher mileage examples, at £100+ per damper some owners tend to go for other alternatives such as koni's, gaz or bilstein
Just had two...
Not a problem, some people prefer to have the adjustable rears but nevermind, I'll hang on to it, I will note the rear shocks are only 2 months old :) Would've been a nice bargain at £3000
Whats with all the negativity towards this chap?
To the Op- sounds like you've had a good experience with a decent mechanic, or someone just doing his job properly.
Your radio code will be in your service book on the front page, failing that, Bonxy made a website where you can get your code...
I'd love to have a LSD in mine tbh, or atleast drive one to see how much of an improvement it will make. It would've been good if it was the only thing you were getting fitted then you could give it a true review I.e 230 bhp n/a clio without LSD vs 230 bhp N/a clio with LSD :) what tyres are you...
Wasn't a dig Fred just more of a 'holy s**t that must be an epic spec' to take so long to get everything together.
I'll pop by soon mate, fancy some nitrous on the trophy :)
I know mate, its always the case when it's getting quite a bit of work done, waiting for parts and then them arriving being wrong is a right arse pain, however you have the best renault tuner on the case so it should go well :)
When you hoping to get it mapped?
I'm glad you feel like that Dan, if you read my post I never slated you.
Well when I spoke to you and you say the coilovers have been sent to spax for inspection and ring spax to find out whats going on, I'm told they've never been sent whatsoever. This went on over 2-3 weeks and it was easy to...
I wouldn't have spax given for free tbh.
The quality of the item after very little use was appalling, I did give Dan a hard time about my coilovers and getting them sorted, so much so I ended up speaking with spax directly as they seemed to be dragging their feet/blaming Dan for not sending...
3.5 months to build this engine upto spec? Jesus lol you're very patient mate I'd be ripping my hair out by now it seems to be taking ages. I hope it's worth all the hype when you get it back :)
