337 bhp M3 (b)eater...

Nice! would look mint without the bump strips. If only I'd be able to get insurance

Quinten · 15-01-2008, 18:59

As promised, insurers who quoted me:

Adrian Flux (SPECIALIST CAR INSURANCE & CHEAP CAR INSURANCE UK FROM ADRIAN FLUX - 08000 838833): £713 with £300 excess underwritten by highway - would not reduce further when told them about cheaper quotes received

The Policy Shop (Cheap Insurance brought to you by the Policy Shop Insurance Services - 0800 0644404): £665 with £350 excess underwritten by ensign - reduced quote to £645 when told them that Chris Knott matched their £665.

Chriss Knott (chrisknott.co.uk - 0800 9172274): renewal £759.99 but matched £665 with all mods listed - reduced quote to £640 when I told them about The Policy Shop's quote.

Most so called performance/modified insurers wouldn't quote though due to the amount of bhp increase

KentStu · 16-01-2008, 09:21

Q - sorry to have raised your hopes but following "discussions" with the wife last night she blankly refuses to change her car

For others info I got a quote for insurance for Q's car from Chris Knott which was £660 fully comp with £350 excess which I thought was very reasonable for a heavily modded car.

Good luck with the sale and sorry.

like this alot and is one of the reasons i signed up the other day as i seen it on the bay and you mentioned you used to be a staff member.

if my 4motion sells or the folk that are buying my house finally get the finger out and part with there cash we will be talking.i just hope you still have it by then as i dont think this will hang around long.

Quinten · 19-01-2008, 19:40

Good to hear that there are still people interested in this... I have almost given up hope

Weeblu, if you are serious, why not come around for a test drive and bring a small deposit to secure it if you like it?

Quinten, Its a stunning car & ridiculously cheap, I think January is just a bad time to sell. I know people in the trade & they are having a horrendous month although things are starting to move a bit now so dont despair

Someone is going to get an absolute bargain

Johnny50 · 22-01-2008, 14:31

Really cant beleive this hasn't sold.
The mods alone would cost that much, so it's a free car really !

Bloody hell Q, can't believe you still have this!

Offer of a swap for a 2003 PD130 SE Passat Estate still stands

You know you want it Tom!!

If you are going to jump into the pond you may as well go in feet first and do it properly.

speednut · 26-01-2008, 20:35

Hi
Whats the average mpg your getting on this motor and how does the traction gizmos rein in all those horses off the line?

Oh free bump for a top motor

Steve

Quinten · 26-01-2008, 20:46

How about

?

The fuel consumption has not suffered at all from the work done, it's probably slightly better over a standard one. So 40mpg on a motorway, 30-ish in and out of town and about 10mpg if you push it

Traction control is your right foot. It's not a simple on/off switch, so you learn to dose the amount of power you send through the front wheels.

speednut · 26-01-2008, 20:58

Hi

Thats awesome i had a Mk1 which was Jabbered to 240bhp and i loved it,am considering going for a mk 1 again could be the car for me but have to sell my Accord tourer diesal first, Spent a fortune on my first baby but yours has all goodies fitted

Steve

**GAFF** · 26-01-2008, 22:51

I hope this gets a good home

Tom_vRS · 27-01-2008, 00:38

Well pending an insurance quote on Monday, I hope me and Q can come to an arrangement

Cheers
Stu

Get it! Would be great to see it in such good hands and around the area

Edit : oops
