you can get valvers for under a grand easy, 5 turbos for half that, no more than 1500 tops. you dont do this conversion to make money, just have a look at people who have tried to sell um. dont get me wrong, you wont regret it, but i only did it to piss off the local williams boys. works a...

if you had turned left there and carried on for a few hundred meters, youd have seen mine. doh.

sold mine for 450.00

mine has this and has no problems with an mot, the only thing you need is a manual entry point to the car in case of power faliure. this is why i still have a boot lock in place. the way to get round this if you are removing the boot lock as well, is to wind down you electric windows, if you...

play in the steering is the coloum, bulbs are easy to change should take half hour from start to finish, as for the -30 thing on the dash, its doing it because the sensor has been removed due to the mirrors changing. you can stop it by removing the relay for it in the inside fuse box, on the...

thanks for all your nice comments, glad to know people like it, makes it all worth while. steve.

it is easier to just put a new rack in, its what i did, didnt take long.

there is a pic of my engine bay, in the media bit under braintree freeport meet, you cant miss it. as for insurance it cost me another 30.00 to change it over on my policy, on paper 5 turbos put out less power than valvers etc, in reality they stuff um!.

more expensive to insure than a 5 turbo conversion, and you get fuel injection with it, but the 5 turbo is a lot more tunable, and imho faster than the volvo.

could be bad earth somewhere, or a duff cell in the battery, before i got the optima one, i had a similar thing, but as the battery got warmer it stopped, when it cooled down went funny, may be worth checking out.

try calling samco sport, they built mine to order without any problems, and normally keep blue in stock, (most common colour), just do a quick search on the interweb.

and for me.

hi spec kit was crap, ie 4pots & 325mm discs, that may been down to the greens stuff pads tbh.

i had greenstuff pads in mine, that made them utter crap, go for the mintex or pagid ones, do not get the ebc greenstuff or red stuff.

ive got a friend putting a mitsubishi evo engine in a mk1 shell. you can put pretty much anything in there, just depends if you have enough cash

thing is i wasnt hammering it, just pulling off, went to second and bang, see you later, will phone bb tommorrow and see what they say.

just a quick update, since it was stuffed, ive had i back 4 days, went to southend in it, came home on a transporter, with a blown clutch again. so much for cheap clutch. so im with out transport again. p.s. when i say cheap clutch is the one bb tuning sell, as thats where i bought it, just...

wish i could get 19mpg, i think my turbo has a drink problem! hehe

black v6 in the car park in the town centre, next to royal mail. anyones?

is that last post in english, got my dictonary out and everything but , nah, dont understand a bloody word!

look, i understand that some people dont like bodykits, fair enough, i personally think standard cars are boring, but thats me. if the fella who started this post wants to do it, good luck to him, he or she doesnt need people rippping the sh*t out of them because he wants to change the look of...

dont worry fella, they are all keyboard warriors, and i have a modified mynheer kit on mine, and everyone at the french car show seemed to like it, including at least one person on this thread!. good luck with it.

bit that gets me is he stuffed a triple plate kevlar race clutch inside 20 miles! how? i mean how did he do it? these things are supposed to be indestuctable. any way, id lend it any of my mates, as posted above, as long as they are insured on it, i trust them, as i know i could borrow...

i need to get a clutch from bb tuning today, re other thread, and im in need of the discount code from cliosport. im still waiting for the new membership stuff to turn up, can anyone post it to me, many thanks in advance. steve.

well ive got his valver, till mine fixed, as long as its done for the rtoc bash at the pod i dont really care, p.s. forgot what valvers are like, may be its just his one, but no brakes, and slower than my nan.

yeh hes insured, anyway its only a car, thats what i kept telling myself while i had my hands round his throat.

hes only young, he has plenty of time to save up to fix it, seeing as i now have his valver until mine s fixed.

a young mate of mine, phoned me today, and asked to borrow my car to go pulling birds. no problem i said, he came round collected it after i turned the boost down. get a phone call an hour later, he d blown the effing clutch to bits and is stuck in a car park, can i go get him. muppet!.

reg was l***lno, looked okay apart from the dent in the front that ended at the windscreen, by parsonage lane, sawbridgeworth.

as far as im aware the 172 turbo has never run, that was from pgti as they have been waiting 6 months for ktec to go up against bbs turbo. i think they are in contact with fastchip to try to get it to work!.
