Let me know if they have what I'm after. Cheers Steve.
Will do I think they have 2 850s in and a few mk1 v70s, plus others obviously
A good tail gate no spoiler, v70 p1 or 850 both good tail gates
850 drivers wing no rust but a little damage (light)
Don't ditch the old wing once you've replaced it for a good one Chris. It's 10x better than the one on mine :D
The Volans have been sent off to the powder coaters for some love. So it's currently sat on it's track wheels and R888's.
Don't want to go too mad as it's going for paint soon, so gave it a rinse off and a quick detail. Also fitted some new number plates.

Might have only been a quick detail but it looks stonking!
Holly cow what a car! You have an eye for detail
Looks lovely Chris, but the front bumper doesn't look as if it's lined up properly on the drivers side corner . Passenger side looks spot on and flush.
Good spot Mike. Looking back at the earlier pictures, before the bumper was resprayed, it sat as it should, so hopefully just an adjustment required. I'll get the bodyshop guy to look at it when he paints the sides.
lush :)
I don't like white cars... But that is nice!!
Great looking car Chris, you must be pleased.
Car looking stunning as expected Chris, are you going to the Ring with the others this year and if so are you going in this?
Looking at the pictures will you pop a pair of LEDs in the number plate lights?
Cracking looking car Chris it's turned out really nice!!
What profile are the R888's I can never find any in right sizes when I look for them.
I am going to the ring but taking the accord, I haven't taken that to the ring yet, and I'm pretty certain it'll be awesome! If we do another trip later on in the year the chances are I'll take this with me. The yearly t5d5 castle combe track and MRG weekend is in June, I think I'll be taking this to that. So that will be its first outing on track.
Good shout on the LEDs. Got any links to what I'd need?
Cheers Jim, it's coming on mate. The pictures are kind, it still needs a lot of work to get anywhere near the standard of yours or andys, but it'll get there!
The r888's are 215/45/17. I got them from oponeo online, £121 a tyre delivered which was a Stonking deal. So I bought 6 for the 850 and 6 for the atr! Lol!
I've got eagle f1's for the road wheels once they come back from the powder coaters.
Love the work that's gone into this car, especially nice in white. The embedded video show it's quick too!
After reading the above post, I went out to try and record a hold at 40mph (I've just re-read and seen it was from 30mph oops) then plant the throttle video, obviously it was not on a public road and I wasn't holding the camera phone in my hand, that could not be condoned...
Mine went something like this:

Camera work report says 'must try harder'... I only had one attempt, with quite a big crashy airfield pothole at 90mph :o
This is a remapped ECU by Oblark with white injectors and around 15psi of progressive boost, cat back stainless and an ITG filter element. Goes OK.
This is a good point, on the original ECU the stock guage on my car only ever went just over half way on full boost and just touched into the white part, so unless I have a very consistent boost leak I've considered the dash guage is inaccurate from the start.
No play in the turbo, no oil leaks or smoke on full boost, all pipes checked over (but I am considering a refresh). The boost is held on the 15G virtually all the way to the red line.
Dash guage went from 50% to 80% (looks slightly less from a right handheld angle) on full boost and performance hike was huge when the remapped ECU went in.
Although any other suggestions of things to check, are always welcome.
PS - Also apologies for the thread invasion, maybe I should start a thread of my own :)
