rotary polisher, unsure of make. paid £20 for it from netto about 7 year ago. menzerna 203 compound with a orange lake country ht pad. sent a lot of pics and email back and forth to polishedbliss and thats what they recomended i use. do a small test on my bonnet. masked a square of about 18" and got to say its racking gear. breaks down nice and easy and leaves it pin sharp. seems to make the stone chips stand out even more

Im pretty sure that Turkish's stage 2, S60 T5 (2.4) made a little under 350hp...

im trying to find the thread on this.

Interesting that I arrived independantly at a very similar conclusion. Lake Country/ Menzerna IP. I tend to use the Yellow pad. Depending on colour I can recommend the poorboys glazes.

got some poorboys black hole glaze. very impressed with it. decieded to try all of the blackfire range on this one. hope its worth it, its cost me a fortune

I used the PB Black Hole on our royal blue S40. I really rate it.

I hear great things about the BF range on dark colours. I hope all goes well.

bit of a update cause im board. car has changed a bit since last update. now on nebs. leather has been refurbed. calipers are going to be powder coated soon.

engine is going to shimmed and port and flowed cylinder head fitted.

maybe a few other little mods to fit to.

good idea getting the head ported and flowed but what's the logic behind shimming.?

ExternalError
Monday 7th April 2014, 19:09
Shimming reduces the expansion gap of the liners which have been known to split when running higher boost. Normally its the S60R 2.5 litre engine that is more likely but it has been know to happen on the T5's 2.4 litre engine so if your porting and flowing the head you may as well do it while the head is off.

sounds like a good idea then for future big turbo upgrades.

yes I agree wise move. just flowing the head and some porting will help.
