I'm easily seeing 25+mpg out of my S40 so I'd say you have something wrong! lol

If it's modded, it'll be much more than 300bhp and 400nm. Thats the std figures for the V70R. Unless it's a modified T5? Either way will be nippy. Not as heavy as you'd imagine either. 1500kg max i'd have thought. It's easily 200+ bhp per tonne.

I'd be surprised if it's not more like 500+ nm of torque to be honest. My S40 is currently only 277bhp but 440nm of torque. I'm not sure what the older stuff handles like, will be pretty barge like i'd imagine. Straight line, you have NO CHANCE. you may have him off the line (if it's anything...

How do you really know you are buying a straight car though? My wifes car is only a year old and has already had 2 repairs, neither of which would show up on an HPI report. There are planty of cars on the road that have been severely damaged but not dealt with by insurance. Car buying - it's a...

They won't do no writing, they will always put the postcode on as it's the only way to keep the plate MOT friendly. Also, they have 2 eBay ads, one with GB logo, one without.

No worries mate, thanks for asking. Chris

There's an idea! i'll see if I can pick up an extra L and switch it - maybe. It's the VOLVO badge that annoys me most to be honest, I can't make my mind up over it.

Hmm, I might have to 'shop it first. Can't quite imagine what it'll look like without anything.

Sorry, yes. Would have helped if I'd put that! It's not just a sticker, it's a proper badge type thing.

Yes or no? also, should I remove the VOLVO, the S40, the T5 or all?

It's rare, but occasionally you do get the reverse. My car is low miles for it's year (2006 car with 53k on clock, less than 8k a year) but has been back to the dealer 3 times a year, a winter check, summer check and annual service! There's more in receipts than I paid for the car!

eBay: Autosounds_direct £10.99 + £1.99 P&P. Delivered the next day. That's who I used recently.

I sure do, it's been running 2 degrees above ambient recently (even with some hard driving) so seems to be doing a fairly good job

I read mixed reviews, but I can't see how the current Airbox can flow enough air. For a start the actual filter is tiny, also the ECU sits partially in the Airbox. The noise alone will be worth it though, even if I don't gain many ponies. I've gone from about 8psi to 18psi so surely a better...

I'm decatted too, milltek downpipe and decat, but then std Volvo system. I't really holding it back at the minute.

Shows as 2.0 on car check, also 2009? Did the campus run that late?

Is that a resonated or non resonated system? I'm thinking of putting a resonated system on my T5, but don't want it to be noisy.

Spotted a 182 yesterday, on a 57 plate! Thing is, I ran the plate through mycarcheck app and it's showing as a 2009 car? were there any that late? I thought the latest of that shape was the campus? :S

That's my first point of call, I think I'll buy Elevates. I want the elevate induction kit too, problem is the uk sellers are about 50% more expensive than the USA sellers. I'm going to contact elevate and see if I can buy direct.

I think it should be making more than it is now to be honest, the map that is on it is good for 310bhp and 370lb-ft torque, I suspect I've got something more than the exhaust and inlet holding it back. heres the the graph from yesterday, I've clearly got something weird going on, look at the...

Im aiming for 300bhp and 350+ lb-ft torque. Swapping the exhaust and Airbox should pretty much get me there.

Anytime you like! What spec is your new meggy?

no, I didn't see the point in filming a noisy fan for 5 minutes!

Ahh I get you. Surprisingly only just heavier than an R26.......

Is that a joke or terrible math skills? 277 / 1.4 tonnes = 197 ish per tonne?

So, not disappointed with the results however it shows just how restrictive the std intake and exhaust are! figures were 277bhp and 325lb-ft torque so just under what I predicted. It is running fairly rich at 11:1 so I'm hoping with some breathing mods and something done with the exhaust it'll...

A bit of both - lol It's running a std exhaust apart from downpipe and decat. Aye, be my guest. I should be there by 4pm.

Ahh right, thought you may have been local and were goign to pop in (then realised you're in the SW!) Do you know what mods the ST has had for 330bhp? and do you know how much torque it's producing? I'll be happy if mine makes more than std RS torque (325lb-ft) It certainly feels like a torque...

About 4pm, depends when I get out of work! Why?

I'll film it on the rollers, but pretty pointless as you won't hear anything over the fans!
