Well i'm new to here, Just wanted to say Hi.
I must be one of the luckiest people in the world. i'm an Engineer by trade but Currently work for the Home office - Police research and developement section.
Basically i test Volvo's, Jag's and Suburu's to destruction. and see which tuning developements will be the best application for the traffic departments.
I'm a huge T5 fan and drive an 850R myself. last of the proper turbo actions!!!

Well, my 850R is red, estate, Manual gearbox, 185,000miles. but brand new Police spec engine fitted at 150,000. Loads and Loads of mods to engine, chasis, susp and gearbox.
The best mod to it has got to be the Ohlins coil over shocks. fully adjustable for every aspect but bloody expensive to maintain.
I'll post the full spec of mine and the police ones when i get a touch more time. All the different constabularies use a different spec of T5, dependant on what they want it for and how long they want it to last. but very few are totally standard.
See ya's soon
