[T5RatherAmusin]

Paints not top of my list atm
Something came up the other day which I couldn't let go as I'd prob never see another one! Lol
Yet it won't delay any time to paint
What does is -next week my cars off road as engine is getting stripped and have to wait for the goodies. But trust me, you'll enjoy that update ;)
If I'm lucky and the boss allows while it off the road I'll treat it to some 356mm 8 pot brake kit :D

[iancho]

All sounds sweet Ian you have been quietly gathering goodies and keeping her clean. Love your new Tyres and looking forward to the updates :smile:

[M-R-P]

Quick question...

Why does it have the round top engine mount when iirc, they went over to square bush before the 2.4 came out?

[T5RatherAmusin]

couldnt tell ya bud. maybe it's been changed in its life :/

[T5RatherAmusin]

new front mount

http://i1036.photobucket.com/albums/a441/Ian_Armstrong/20140205_150246_zpsee28c134.jpg

[expolicev70t5]

Not sure but I think my top mount is round too from memory and mine is a 2.4 (2005)

[T5RatherAmusin]

think you get an extra 10 hp with the round ones ;)

[stribo]

Our R has a square one, but I don't think they all did, I guess theyt fitted what was to hand at the time, bloody Ford. ;)

[T5RatherAmusin]

so much more to be done here......

[T5RatherAmusin]

sorry All ready sold grae . ive got a new intake pipe coming too lol

[T5RatherAmusin]

Is it to use as a template for a drop in?
I've still got it here so I could prob make u up a cardboard template if that would be any good to u?

[graemewelch]

It was for development work. I wontnt useca template. Its ok ill get a loan one from europarts. What intake pipe you getting

[T5RatherAmusin]

what u mean a loan one? all the s60 coolers are the same, there just 2 variation of where the map is(not including R twintercooler)

This project is looking sweet Ian, those Brakes look the nuts bud... this car will be awesome by the time you have finished it! :B_thumb:

[rikcougar]

Nice work, looking good

I`m only several months behind you!

[Wobbly Dave]

For me only time black alloys work for me are with shiny BBK behind them. Otherwise I always thought the wheel design gets a bit lost. However on this occasion - Job done!

[T5RatherAmusin]

[T5RatherAmusin]

plastidipped my spark cover yesterday
24839

not sure i like it after putting it back on :/
24840
think i may do it satin to match the lower tbh

[V70 Graham]

It matches the coolant reservoir cap not the hoses, looks a nice tidy job though.

[expolicev70t5]

Looking good! As Graham said its a shame the plastidip does not match hoses

[T5RatherAmusin]

ye think im gonna peel off on go satin like the manifold cover lol

[T5RatherAmusin]

thats me sorted for a remap later this week :D
a custom dream3r map to see me around 1.45bar :D

driveshaft shoulda turned up yesterday, but no show.
just got a new ball joint and cv to go in
and aload of alcantara to play with!

[graemewelch]

A bit gloss black would look nice instead of the blue

[T5RatherAmusin]

A bit gloss black would look nice instead of the blue

ye i dont like it too looks kinda wierd lol
ye could go gloss, satin or carbon. may get the lower one carbon then...

[T5RatherAmusin]

still no driveshaft- 24hr service my arse! theyve had it over a week on not made 1 attempt to deliver
so started on the boot with some alcantara, got 2 panels done. think ill get pics up when complete...

[T5RatherAmusin]

[T5RatherAmusin]

[T5RatherAmusin]

Cheers matey!

[T5RatherAmusin]

well after almost 2 weeks wait for a driveshaft it turned up today!!
the 1st driveshaft got lost in transit somewhere. so craig(peacey) had to send me another...hes just an awsome lad!
so im back on the road! :D

[expolicev70t5]

Good stuff, you had your map done yet? if so how does it go?

[T5RatherAmusin]

Good stuff, you had your map done yet? if so how does it go?

Not quite yet matey. Just waiting for the ecu removal tool off Jon. Then will have to send it off to him. Should be sent back yo me next day I believe tho.
I also heard Jon can do backup ECUs ice you get a second ecu and hell me a copy of your std map on that...

[T5RatherAmusin]

going thru my computer ive found a few pics i thort i lost.
will up date in a mo once uploaded...

[T5RatherAmusin]

mocking up the boost gear. and finding out how naff hammerite hight heat is! you can just bout see it pitting
so had to repaint the whole thing again- i used autotek. brilliant!

[T5RatherAmusin]

how the new 3.25" maf to turbo pipe looks attached to maf
and after a spraying of how the mani cover now looks

[T5RatherAmusin]

more mock up of getting all how i wanted it
and trying out the mani cover, and adding a lil touch of polestar to it

[T5RatherAmusin]

was untill my auxillary hoses came i could be bothered to actually get the ic mounted up and slam panel back on- lights n bumper etc, but it was starting to take shape i guess.
these pics. nothing is mounted .just placed on to see lol

[T5RatherAmusin]

that just about fills the gap.
as for the blue plastidipped cover, it made me cringe when opening the bonnet so i peeled it straight off!
got new ecu lid in and a few more shiny bolts in there :)
25169

[theflyingbrick]

alcantard speedo hood

Ooh... how'd you get that done then?

[T5RatherAmusin]

its just a bit of alcantara fabric. then used spray glue (trimbond) and cut and lay it on...

[M-R-P]

Hmmmmm......


Off to ebay I go...

[T5RatherAmusin]

hereyar if it all helps

[M-R-P]

Nice one dude. What's it like for stretching? do wrinkles pull out easily?

[T5RatherAmusin]

ohh i remember looking up this a while back
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Carbon-Fibre-Fabric-Cloth-Black-Vehicle-Wrap-Sticker-500mm-x-1350mm-/200713556150?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item2ebb75d0b6
its carbon cloth/fabric, not your normal sticker type but an actual material. you might like that ;)

[M-R-P]

Nice but I'm getting bored with carbon.

[V70 Graham]

Guess it would stop some of the suns glare too, nice.

[T5RatherAmusin]

Nice one dude. What's it like for stretching? do wrinkles pull out easily?

ye mate its quite similar to narmal rap. if theres too many shapes going on tho, you could do a fold and lay if you get me.
but for most things like that hood and pillars its easy. its stretches ok. and you can pull it off and lay it again if it wasnt quite right. also you can reheat the glue and lay again...

[M-R-P]

Guess it would stop some of the suns glare too, nice.
My thoughts exactly mate. That and the dash on the Sweed has some nasty scratches.

Might have to look into this then.

Although, didn't Neal have his dash don like this and it all came off when the sun got on it?

[V70 Graham]

Although, didn't Neal have his dash don like this and it all came off when the sun got on it?

I thought that too, can't see why that happened though.

[T5RatherAmusin]

yup that glue i linked up is high heat up to 120 deg made for the use of headliners etc...

[T5RatherAmusin]

2521025211

thats it on. gonna do the pillars later....

[M-R-P]

I have the urge to stroke it...

[partsforvolvos.com]

[T5RatherAmusin]

[T5RatherAmusin]

been for a spin. although i couldnt test it properly as had kids in the car.....
i can tell you im 1 happy chappy!
taking it it really easy. the car feels alot more responsive, boost control is rediculously good!
spools up instanly, an the car is gone the moment you touch the pedal.
even tho i havnt yet had the chance to actually give it the bean i still saw 21 psi effortlessly :D
cant wait to see what else it has to offer

Sadly, being an older model, with a 16t, only one VVT and a piddly 2.3 capacity, I have a delay (less than a second) between hitting the go pedal and anything actually happening but all hell breaks loose when it goes lol.

The vortis are my favourite tyres available. Grip is unreal! And ability to throw the car around makes mucho pleasureable driving
Couldn't reccommend them enough tbh. And theyr very well priced to be fair

[expolicev70t5]

Looking good Ian. Looking forward to seeing the video,

[T5RatherAmusin]

been busy today!.....££££ it...sleep!....pics tomorrow!
