1st owner paid £14,235 for mine in September 2005, 5 years (& 170k later lol) i paid £2675, so £11,560 in depreciation. Now, i've spent a good 2 grand on making it perfect mechanically, but its worth what i paid for it all day long.
As such, i could never sell the thing, what else could i get...
Hi there,
Yeah they are a straight swop for the standard Trophy ones :) And match the Recaro's perectly.
And yes, i stil have them sat in the garage!
Cheers

None planned at the moment, will be spending all my money on fueling an M3 for 2k miles a month no doubt :oops:
Plan is to put the Trophy back to standard(ish), then put it into hibernation in my parents barn. Hopefully, in a few years time i will rediscover it, & my 2 owner, FSH, minter will...
I bought an '03 M3 recently for under 9 grand. Its list price when new was just below £50k.
The Trophy is simply a 182 cup with fancy dampers, the general public have now realised this, & the prices are tumbling. Well, that & the fact that they are all 6 years old now lol!! Mines worth more in...
I would imagine that its fairly easy to remove the RS2, you'd just need a standard 182 inlet etc in order to swop back over. All the OE sensors, etc are retained. You'll then be able to sell the kit fairly easily on ClioSport for £1200 or so.
If you didnt have it mapped again with the RS2, it...
So many things came into my mind, but im not going to say anything nasty ...
Simply refurb the front dampers, & buy a pair of proper Trophy dampers for the back.
Will cost you about £650 all in. Which is roughly what you will pay for an average set of coilovers.
To be fair, with the number of spambots & scam websites on here at the moment, there is no way in hell i'd click on a link in a post. Dont want computer AIDs lol ... have a look around, you'll know what i mean, hence the swearing :wink:
Agency transmissions (in Gloucester iirc) will refurb the box for between £250-£500 depending on the work required.
And swopping the box, well depends if you know anyone handy with a spanner.
Fred @ BTM Performance is probably your closest specialist.
I would imagine that as the PMS strut brace is attached directly to the STM's that it would be the best solution out there in terms of chassis stiffness & bracing, whether that is what you want on the car is entirely up to you though i guess.
FYI, for those that have been around the french car...
FYI - All remaining orders, etc will be satisfied don't worry.

Commencing on the 26/8/11 JMS Automotive Limited will cease trading.
Due to changing personal circumstances over recent weeks amongst other reasons, James and I have made the decision to shut the business and pursue other interests.
We are pleased too be able to introduce Michael and Jack...
