Been there and done it and all that. Really loved it but got rid because a wanted the C70 that's in my avatar. Did that up then got bored of it lol. Both were running around 270bhp and to be honest they were okay in a straight line but not really sports cars but I knew that all along, both were just very fast and comfortable.
I wouldn't say my M3 is a rep mobile lol, if it was a 318 I'd agree with you lol. I was recently offered £10,000 for it and turned it down :crazy:

He wasn't giving it the full beans then, I've obviously had both and the M3 evo in standard form is 320bhp and is a lot quicker especially accelerating when your into 3 digit figures. The earlier 3.0 ltr models were 286 bhp so maybe would of been close with your remapped Volvo.

mitchyboy01
Sunday 8th April 2012, 00:10
Frankies 311bhp and heaps more torque would easily keep with an M3 evo in a straight line. With less transmission loss it would probably be putting more power to the road let alone the extra mountain of torque. Round the twisties the beemer would be far superior though as you know. My T4 with only 285bhp and 320lbft clocked 60-100 in 6.3 secs in 4th gear!

probably twice the torque of an m3 lol, probably would out pull it given enough straight road, my 60-100 was 6.6 secs

That's why i got bored of my Volvo's, great in a straight line, but just no good in the twistys. At the end of the day the Volvo T5's were never really designed to be sport cars, just really comfortable and quick in a straight line, handling never came into the equation lol. Maybe I should put a super charger on mine and see what happens :D
At least your going in the right direction dumping the V70 and getting an 850R, one day you'll get a proper one and have a T-5r manual estate which are the rarest and the most desirable ;)

I know what you mean regards handling, you can kind of make them handle better, but you def feel its something that you have to force them to do. But good engines, which work well with the manual box better, but i love my autos and manuals.

Yeah the auto's hussle, but sometimes aren't quite with you and seem to me alot slower after 80-ish on hard acceleration. But still love the lazy driving aspect of the auto especially on the motorway with cruise on and i've found hardly any diff in mpg on motorways between the two. Ideally an auto tuned abit would be a great daily driver, be interesting in seeing what you make out of it.

One thing you do notice lol, with the auto is the brakes!! shows up worse without the engine braking.

Not the home of the V's and H's lol, more roundabouts than a motherfocker!

Still feel slower than a similar turbo'd auto, but would love to see how you get on with yours after modding, you uprating the auto box oil cooler.

But i do think a good 16T exhaust airfilter would work wonders. Tell you what for comparison purposes i have a standard T5r auto estate (now brother in laws). Should take them to the pod and run side by side, see the difference, be really interesting.

Mine is very low and looks mean all blacked out windows. I really need to get it sorted, been putting it back to standard. Prob thinking about it i'lll keep the koni's on it.

With all the bits i've sold off it, it now owes me £400 or something stupid. Paid more for the BX lol with the transportation

milton keynes = Land of loads of roundabouts and where traffic lights have yet to be invented..

spent 10 months with a van round that area and went through brakes pads very quickly all that fast straights and hard braking is enough to heat up the discs quickly and then cooled on the fast straights making them crack

I agree with you on the handling for definite! I had a 328i E36 lowered and it was awesome round the bends. After my 850 t5s my t4 was a revelation and felt a lot more modern, hence me sticking with it. Not in an M3s league handing wise but not a million miles away with a few mods, great in a straight line and cheap to buy and insure.

Thanks Frankie, that's the first time I think you've complemented me on the performance of my car... Perhaps that's because you know how hard you had to work yours to achieve a slightly better 1/4 time than me, of course bearing in mind I can't launch mine and I have less WHP than you.
Still got to work on that terminal speed though as I've still pipped you to the post on that one.... :haha:


A tuned auto? i have a auto rica 304 ecu, which i use as it will fit any of my cars, does make a nice diff to the autos. Good thing about the autos is no drama getting away

I got mine standard and have modified it in stages. I started off just literally with the Rica 304 and it transformed the car making it a quick car but tbh the changes it has had since then have made it faster perhaps not 0-50 but especially after 2nd gear where the private roads and raceways allow ;)


Andys car is fast I`ve seen it go,credit to the owner.

Thanks KG, take it you liked that then ;)


Lets hope he gets it sorted and keeps it.

Oh yes, I think it would be a shame to let it go before it's time. So as the old addage goes ... bigger and better next time, just doing my research now. Hunting for the high 13's now, got to up my game against Frankie ;)

looking good what products did u use on your seats?

T5frankie

They do exist...



Thanks Frankie, that's the first time I think you've complemented me on the performance of my car... Perhaps that's because you know how hard you had to work yours to achieve a slightly better 1/4 time than me, of course bearing in mind I can't launch mine and I have less WHP than you.
Still got to work on that terminal speed though as I've still pipped you to the post on that one.... :haha:



I got mine standard and have modified it in stages. I started off just literally with the Rica 304 and it transformed the car making it a quick car but tbh the changes it has had since then have made it faster perhaps not 0-50 but especially after 2nd gear where the private roads and raceways allow ;)

Thanks KG, take it you liked that then ;)



Oh yes, I think it would be a shame to let it go before it's time. So as the old addage goes ... bigger and better next time, just doing my research now. Hunting for the high 13's now, got to up my game against Frankie ;)



Looks lovely, the colour is fantastic of course..... and I agree the oranges on the V70 just look right.

the v70r is now in retirement, it will never beat its 14.29 that i got at santa pod then avon, there was more in it, just i will never know now, i thought you'd like this one andy lol, the orange lights do look nice on the saffy, and they are made of the the newer material so no fade

Yep, feel the same way with my 850. Because the autobox leaks like the Torrycanyon (I got Qady's 850R box *kof* 'professionally fitted' by some outfit in Hull) I now can't afford to get it done since buying the V70 (which I have to admit to me is a better car).
If I was able to I'd break it but it'll just have to be sold for peanuts as I can't keep two cars running (it's sorn'd at the mo).

Anyway, your car is looking good from those pics, what ya got planned next?

Tall gearing made worse by the massive wheels, the bigger turbo will help but that'll have a lot more lag the 15g so worse off the line and in gear performance??
