if i do say myself that looks nice and red

[LiamT4]

just an idea.

[The Flying Moose]

Only Jealous because its faster than yours eh??? ;)

[smithy]

[leet5r]

[Jamest5r]

Hi Dean, where did you get the pipework for the catch tank from and what diameter is it? 15mm?.

Ps glad your running a catchtank now.....more weight :), thinking i need some of that new suspension stuff on mine :)

[WOODY T5]

ha ha more weight or could i now have less weight????/ yeah its 15mm of tbay cost 8.48 for 2meters mate

[AndysR]

Nice one, thinking about putting a catch tank on mine at some point. Does yours vent to atmosphere or does it recirculate back into the inlet?

[WOODY T5]

it vents to the atmosphere mate dont want that dirty stuff back in my car?

[Jamest5r]

Nice one, thinking about putting a catch tank on mine at some point. Does yours vent to atmosphere or does it recirculate back into the inlet?


To atmosphere mate thats the point of it so your not putting the crap back into the system, i run the out pipe to about half way down my car and it vents there but you will be amazed at the gunk that is collected in the tank.

[AndysR]

To atmosphere mate thats the point of it so your not putting the crap back into the system, i run the out pipe to about half way down my car and it vents there but you will be amazed at the gunk that is collected in the tank.

Yeah the only problem with that is I hate the smell when your sitting in traffic plus technically it's illegal, I'd probably go for an oil seperator and plumb it back into the system that way the bulk of it is collected in the seperator with the minor stuff being re-absorbed.

[WOODY T5]

got me new oil cooler kit today 19row should keep the oil temp down a bit so job for 2moz also got a 2.5 radiator to fit hence now having oil cooler kit >>>>>

[leet5r]

Another top mod m8. Coming along nicely now bud. Where you going to put the oil cooler then.

[T4Rick]

got me new oil cooler kit today 19row should keep the oil temp down a bit so job for 2moz also got a 2.5 radiator to fit hence now having oil cooler kit >>>>>

Hi mate what did you pay for your oil cooler

[Dan850r]

What kind of engine oil temps are you running now?

[WOODY T5]

Hi mate what did you pay for your oil coolerhi rick got the full kit off tbay for 140 ad to mod my oil pipes to fit it.

[WOODY T5]

What kind of engine oil temps are you running now?dont know yet mate just fitted it to day not drove it yet only run it up.

[WOODY T5]

well a few more jobs done today both engine mounts on and oil cooler fitted just a few jobs to do now then then back on road to test it
e.g set coilovers up check afr gauge due to 3"maf mod

[T5RPete]

Like that Dean, loads of stuff happened since I saw it last! Very impressive

[The Flying Moose]

Looking good Dean, although I have to say I did chuckle! That massive intercooler and a huge oil cooler... it looks an absolute machine.

The question is though... all the gear no idea??? Look forward to seeing her on the track mate.

[smithy]

well a few more jobs done today both engine mounts on and oil cooler fitted just a few jobs to do now then then back on road to test it
e.g set coilovers up check afr gauge due to 3"maf mod

that was a nice idea putting an external oil cooler on an 850 i should do that on my 940 .thanks for the idea and your car looks the nuts now mate now lets see how she performs.

[Jim S70R]

Looking good, as said above that intercooler is massive. Looking forward to seeing this monster in action too.

[p fandango]

looks a very good kit, can i be cheeky & ask for a link. My concern would be the unions coming from underneath & being so low look vulnerable to knocks

[WOODY T5]

ebay 190478354393 is a nice kit mate

[BlackBeast]

Be very careful with cheap oil coolers. You get what you pay for. Two words - pressure drop.

[AndysR]

Smart looking cooler, with the bumper on is there any direct air feed to the cooler or will it rely on surrounding air flow?

[WOODY T5]

looks a very good kit, can i be cheeky & ask for a link. My concern would be the unions coming from underneath & being so low look vulnerable to knocksyeah mate think u was right about it being a bit low so have now moved it up a bit. also get more air to it.

[WOODY T5]

well not much left to do now just waiting on getting my bumper back from my paint guy but did buy some nice seats for it

[Jim S70R]

They should keep you put under heavy cornering ;)

[AndysR]

Nice seats :)

[martybelfastt5]

mmm,they are nice always fancied some recaros myself

[WOODY T5]

well got me car finished tonite and is back on road and feels great with the mods i have done must say these bc coilovers feel very good over bumps and in corners to the koni yellows i did have on 3" maf housing feels much better pulls very nice .cars also looks a lot better with its new body panel and a fresh coat of paint on the front bumper wiper hole pluged to tidy the front up as for the oilcooler just got it in the right place gets lots of air.
have also got me corba buckets in was a bit dark for a pic of them but will upload soon.

just glad to get out of this ££££ing rover and back in to a real car will got some good pics when its ad wash and wax

[Dan850r]

Fornt end looks tidy, looks a lot neater without the wipers

[LiamT4]

Looking good, can't wait to see it at WD40.

I definatly prefer cars with the headlight wipers removed.

[martybelfastt5]

looks smart,,,,tho i want full car pics not teasers lol

[leet5r]

lookin well m8 , just get the coilovers wound down to get the stance right , have to get some more pics up m8

[Jamest5r]

Looking nice dean :)

All Looks very nice Woody Enjoy!!!!all i know mate is there the bc v1`s but like i say it feels good on the road could give u the part number if that helps greg

[GregE102]

all i know mate is there the bc v1`s but like i say it feels good on the road could give u the part number if that helps greg


LOL thanks mate!

I was the first person to have them fitted to an 850 in the UK and i did not get on with them? I think my spring rates where to high and the rear set up was different then! i managed to dislocate the rear spring barrel set on track and went trough loads of trial on the settings and could not get them to work for me?

In the end i sent them back but like i say since then they have revised the rear set up and changed the spring rates!

Hope they serve you well! and by the sounds of it they are!

Cheers Greg

[WOODY T5]

been out for a run to york today car feels very good and as for the bc`s coilovers feel very good on the road as i said before ride quality and grip is spot on to.

Really like the seats too, unlike many bucket seats they dont look out of place in your motor.

The seats suit the car well and proper sports seats are supposed to help a lot when on a track.

Sweet - When I did Ian's grille, the pattern on the slash matched the pattern on the surround purely by fluke - this time it was deliberate (and a PITA lol)

Wanna see it with the splitter... ;)
