Will be sad to see the Golf go, but excited about its replacement.
guess what it is...... 6 pots as standard and over 300bhp. First to guess correctly gets a prize :jumpmove:
-
what make. :smiley:
-
not giving it away that easy.
next clue: its not american.
-
Edit, ordered implies new??
335i and a diff.
-
I'm with Mike (although he beat me to it).. From the BM stable and ends in 35i? I'll go with the same as me and a 135i DCT? :wink:
-
Has it landed yet, Ben?? Saw you pop up on babybmw, I was ahem just researching... *whistles..

Not yet bud :sad1: . Official delivery is w/c 2nd May, but when I called in yesterday to pay for my BMW Performance goodies, the salesman was telling me that a lot of recent deliveries were coming in a week or so early.. So fingers crossed, not long now.. :party:
Then she shall be driven straight from the showroom to the bodyshop for some powder coating treatment :evilgrin:
BabyBMW is ok, but it's mainly occupied of the sootchucker army. Some nice chaps on there though.. 1addicts is the place to go for the interesting stuff.. :wink:

Ace. I got the clutter a week early, think they make it seem worse so you upscore them on the post sale evaluation for their bonus.
Get it run in with a trip to Anglesey on the 2nd, you can witness all manner of stupidity. I think Wilko is going for the roof this time, after his reversing skills at Oulton. I'll be collecting more gravel!

will you be putting your car back to standard? can i have first dibs on the bilsteins? :party:

I'll guess at a 370Z....just to be different :grin:

Not new, but yes it is a 35i.
a 135i step auto (wanted dct but couldnt afford brand new) so got a low milage graphite gray one, collect it a week on monday.
However the modding has already started, Quaife diff bought as well as 4 new non runflat tyres. Although the looks of the car still seems to be a bit love it or hate it. I dont think they are the best looking car ever but stg1 will see circa 370hp and 380ft/lb and with decent tyres and diff it will be massive fun. Will be posting up a big 'for sale' link for the goodies from the Golf, probably towards the end of the month. No dibs on any bits yet. it will be first come, first served when the post goes up.

Great choice, great cars!
Not sure about the 'box though - keep us posted!
-
i'll be interested to see the build thread on this dave, i saw a car at birds down the road they were putting 2 big garret turbos in there a couple of months back and going for nearly 600hp! :surprised:
jason did say to me all they need is the ARB a diff and a map but then youd want a cooler an exhaust etc etc and once again it never ends lol
-
I dislike the auto box in my 335d, too soft and slow but tested a 135i auto with the newer box and it actually felt pretty good, admittedly not as good as the DCT but a hell of a lot cheaper and 90% of the fun.
Diff is ordered, non-runflat tyres ordered, exhaust is a maybe at present so have opted to order some decat front pipes from a friend of mine that tunes BM's in the USA. will make a build thread as and when I get it.
Will post up a for sale thread for my Golf later :happy2:
-
Nice choice Dave :happy2: Do I get anything for guessing? :jumpmove: :signLOL:
Has it got much spec do you know? I take it it's a N54 then? The auto box on the 135i is actually bloody quick from what I have read and seen. Alright it's no dual clutch, but I don't think it's that much slower tbh..
Check this one out for instance.. :surprised:
I'll pop in with mine and have a ganders next time i'm up in the North East Dave if that's ok?

Knowing Wilko, that doesn't surprise me at all.. Is that in the Golf or the Consortium bought, track slag, Bora?

Hi Ron, feel free to drop in. Your prize is a dyno run :drinking:
It has everything I wanted such as graphite paint colour, xenons, pro satnav, front/rear parking sensors (for the missus of course :ashamed:), alu trim, bluetooth, climate, higher spec stereo etc.... It has the black leather, tried to find dark red but gave up.
-
Sniff around some forums, You may get someone willing to swap interiors?
Ben, the Bora. We've had his golf on track though - it was mental, like trying to keep a dog in a bath tub!
-
Hmmm, not a bad idea tony, sure theres someone out there with a 1 series coupe that doesnt like red leather.
-
Nice, nice car .... I looked at a a white DCT 135i but stayed sensible and went for a black LCI 330d coupe auto ...
I wanted the power ... but needed some economy .... and couldn't find a 335d at the right price.
Annoyingly the 135i I was looking at got reduced by 3K days after I bought my 330d ... though white was a bit 'in yer face'
-
Nice one Dave :happy2:
So your plan to keep you golf lasted a whole 2 months then! I remember you syaing, you bought the exhaust as you were keeping it a while longer :stupid:
I wonder what bits you have that I havent got then :jumping: :jumping: looks like the refresh button on the for sale section is going to take to abuse :wink:
I'll have to take a gander on my way home from work to see what its like then Dave.
Does your model come with indicators by any chance :laugh:

:surprised: Nice one Dave.. :happy2:
Very much looking forward to seeing the development of your car, especially with it having the different engine to mine and all. Might have to blag a passenger run at some point.. :wink: :smiley:
