I sold one with 60k on it, to buy one with 170k on it. The latter was quicker, more powerful & generally in better condition. It also cost a third of the price.

Age is a big issue for the subframe goodwill!!! Bedtime now, but ill have a looky for you tomorrow :)

Massively expensive!!!! Id say £2k over. You'll take a right bath on that if you want rid in 6 months time Poobah, id be wanting an '05 for that sort of cash tbh. £8k max for an '03 imho, especially as ull only have 9 months left on the 10year subframe 'warranty' from BMW.

As said, you can have my 52k clocks for free so that you can buy a proper car, ie Jon's Trophy.

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.

Also, i have some clocks with 52k on if your that bothered about miles, then you can buy Jon's mint Trophy.

Buy a Trophy, all other 1*2s are for paupers.

My 1st one, which Luke then killed :dapprove: The 2nd one, now owned by Kelv: Have plenty of track pics, but these make a nice change.

Nah, was nothing wrong with it, dyno'd at 240bhp on SRR iirc. Most of my mileage (well up until this week) was sat at 80-90 mph on my private motorway, & i never got more than 29mpg out of the ed30, similar to the R32. Big turbo on the Ed30 didnt help at those speeds/revs, the Gti ive borrowed...

I get exactly the same mpg out of my R32 than i did in the Ed30. You want fast, buy an M3.

You need as well btw. They look epic in the Gti tartan.

Part of the reason why i just went for the R32, all the good bits are standard ;) By the time you've specced up the Golf, you might as well just pay the extra fuel on the proper engined one.

Ha ha, clios are 99% awesome, we can certainly agree on that :race:

You never driven a 911 i assume? Where all the weight is out over the back wheels? Tbh, the clio is fun whether its working perfectly well or knackered. The Trophy does suffer from understeer on the limit, so with additional weight in the boot and/or more camber on the front/stiffer rear end...

Just out of interest, why is mild oversteer a bad thing in a FWD car exactly? I look forwards to your response.

Looks lovely, does need an RNS510 though ... oh, and a remap ;) Also, it might be worth your while pulling one of the wheels of the check the part numbers, they dont look genuine to me, offset seems slightly wrong and the colouring is way off (unless they've been refurbed). The Goodride tyres...

Is it wrong that i used to drive the Trophy around with 1 knackered rear damper, 3 ton of tools in the boot & whiteline set to 'f*cking stiff' all the time just to get this wonderful effect?

Was on 187k when i sold it to Nick iirc.

About the same as an M3 tbh, circa 27-29mpg on the motorway at a real 75-80mph - bear in mind that the Golf speedo overreads by 10%, the e46 less than 5%, so you always think that you are going faster than you actually are in the Golf. My average over 10k miles is 28.3mpg, although it will drop...

More than likely ;)

Can you not just add it as a tempporary car to your main insurance policy? Thats what ive always done in the past - usually up to 28 days at a time. I've also noticed that you can have a taxed, but uninsured car on your driveway for over a month without getting any letters about it, so i...

You'll forgive me if i carry on calling this one the 'RaceCup' instead of the 'TrackCup', otherwise ill just get confused with Ollies. Looks good though Nicholarse, bet it runs better with an air filter on it as well ;)

7 times lol.

You want me to check? Just need your date of manufacture or last 7 seven digits of your VIN number.

Swirl flaps removed i hope? Otherwise you'll have another engine sh1tting itself lol ...

What engine did you go for in the end?

Herospec. Loved mine bar the slushbox, although i do prefer the MV1's.

Proper car that whilst dated is still just blooming awesome. Amazing how the e39 just shrinks around you when driving as well!! Something special about an ///M. Made me look at breadvans again ffs.

EFA. Sorry, but i cant stand it, although there is a nice car under there waiting to get out.

Love it!! Best one so far lol ...
