@Sir_Dave - Thanks for the info. I think I'll do a ghetto fit also, for that kind of money! I've managed to get a dealer to commit to a walnut blast for £100 so will be itching to get some form of setup on there afterwards.

Have you looked at Catch Can's for these @Sir_Dave ? I've been looking around the interwebs tonight and I appear to be finding alot of mixed messages. Seems the Saikou Michi dual catch can is the overall winner, albeit no UK supplier?!

Lovely car, lovely colour, not too sure on the number plate however. Why everyone is having a complex over BMW Coupe's at the moment?

@Steve @Addicted How are you guys getting along with these? Still liking them?

Just got a response my end on a JCW for myself; Moonwalk Grey Chili Pack 18" Cup Wheels Dinamica Carbon Back Heated Seats Variable Damper Control MINI Tech Pack 3 Years TLC £2000 down and £300 P/M Going to work on those figures some more :smile:

Having spent the last few days at head office, I love these things! The maths isn't too bad, its just a case of justifying a car that I do not really need 😅

Being a niche model with the mileage, I think being a little more thorough with the service history (Cambelt, Waterpump etc?) would be of benefit. Mix and match tyres, wheels needing a refurb, no xenons or nav etc.. I know of a very well specced ED30 locally with similar mileage for £8500 and...

Oh I can certainly imagine. I hated my EP3 within days of owning it - Genuinely felt like it had the dynamics of a brick. An old friend of mine many years ago had a fettled DC5 and some serious balls to go with it... I'd never been so terrified/impressed with how capable it was, in the right hands.

Stunning car. Its such a shame I can't justify the prices these fetch, I'd love to try one for while.

I'm glad Vodafail have finally been stung - b******s left a few marks on my Credit Report. I'd been with them for 8+ years and at the start of the year decided enough was enough with the shocking coverage. I'd agreed and paid up the cancellation fee, attained my PUK code and moved over to EE =...

If there is something your specifically after, I could probably help?

OK I've done some digging on XYB. The current seller bought it off the lad from Ipswich a few months ago for the grand sum of £500... Sounds about right.

Well thats my thought and I've seen his cars previously on facebook, maybe he lent it to one of them when It got spotted 😅😅

Yeah Scott bought it from me and a few people spotted it shortly after being ragged everywhere 😂 I had a chap called Thomas from Ipswich contact me on facebook in April.. He wanted to try restore it, which lasted about a month before he punted it on.

That would be awesome, however.. Its not worth anywhere near its current asking price. I paid £800 for it the 2nd time round (2013) and it looks like its been nicely battered since.. undoing all the work I'd put into it.

Scott? I keep in touch with him now and then. He has/had a Trophy that he hasn't gelled with compared to X459DYB :sweat:

I poked a couple questions towards the seller. Bugs me when people suggest the mileage the belts were done and not the time. I was interested until I found it the belts are due on this one.. Doubtful negotiation on the price also.

I thought you may see this!

Its a massive shame mate. I can only assume once the owner after me abused it and sold it, it was raped for parts and left like it is now. £1350? Pff! I sold it like the above condition for £2000!

Well, I've owned this twice over the years and it was an absolute belter of a car, I'd spent a fortune on it (Twice) getting it up to the standard I like and every now and then I spot it up for sale..in different states of tune/form. Everytime I see it, It's been fiddled with again and again...

Got this over the weekend, loving it so far. Dazzachezza - If anyone is up for an online piss about.

Hmm a test drive would sort my concerns although the car isn't local lol. If you had an option to switch to a proper manual and traffic wasn't a concern, what would you take?

Whats the box like? Is it fairly reactive or like an old school slug?

That sounds quite loud, in a good way. I'm liking these at the moment and have spotted a nice one but... I've never had an Auto and that worries me that I'll hate it.

@Sir_Dave Are these much bigger than the R53 inside? They look much fresher than the R53, better built? Less rattles? :imp::imp:

Cracking pictures, almost broke my computer trying to load them all!

I know what you mean 10000% but its much the point @MarkCup made after that is the issue. I'd look at it come selling time (if owned) and know that people would be expecting Audi and only Audi stamps. I remember getting the ST serviced by Ford last year - £119 all in which was Oil, Filter &...

I'm not sure if I bought a brand new car, an RS3 at that, that I'd want to take it to a specialist at this point of its life. For just an Oil & Filter, Audi's pricing is a joke but thats part and parcel with having an RS model I suppose. I'm sure you could barter off a couple dealers off...

I know their a little mundane in a game like this but no new Civic Type R? Focus RS? Megane RS275? Seems like a Gran Turismo scenario with the odd new model included?
