If anybody has any info on this car i would be very greatfull.
Bought this off Quaddy (i think) in 2012 and has been a great drive.

Anyway, things to do for MOT

1. new cat
2. new rear o2 sensor
3. new tyre.

That's it really.

fixed a few problems myself.

Can you spot the difference.
Tools used, 4 foot crowbar.
For all you suspension heads, this is non Nivomat right?

Sorry, photos out of sync.
Look up.

Also had to bodge rear bumper as you can see.
This is only temporary mind.
But might go for the RAT look on the outside to ease cost.

That's an S60R exhaust, that's why it's too short for the car.

Those are standard shocks, nivomat have a rubber boot covering the bottom half.

I've put a shout over on T5D5, see what replies I get.

Thanks for the exhaust info.
Will keep a look out for a V70R one.

Right, I just got a response from Tim on T5D5.

Your car wasn't mapped, nor was it tuned in any way other than the intercooler and a set of coilovers.

I'd recommend getting some extensions for your exhaust tips to bring them out another 4 inches :)

Good luck in getting it all sorted


The vulture in me is saying if it doesn't make it through not and you break it, how much for front bumper?

Hopefully it won't come to that but will keep you all informed if it comes to breaking it.
I actually like the look of the exhaust tip recessed slightly. I just need to lower it a little before I change the bumper.

Nice bumper. Is this a bumper off and 'R' or a custom made one?

Ooooow I want one! I wonder how much they cost to buy at the Main Stealer because I bet scrap ones are virtually unheard of.

so if i cut them off i just replace the two bolts or are they welded in?

once cut youll have to knock the studs out. try and use some heat to get them out first. carful you dont bend the flanges when knocking the studs out. they can be stuburn.i just m10 bolts when i bolt my systems together but i dont think the holes are big enough on the down pipe so you might need m8 if you plan to refit them both

Christ on a stick.
The cars still in the garage.
All they picked up was a tyre and the handbrake not efficient even though it holds
On my 45 degree drive?
It had a pre mot and they didn't even notice the bulge in the tyre.
