Looks awesome. Congrats!
Always nice to hear your input on the SMF/clutch Lee :)
I will need to replace the clutch in the near future. In fact, it was supposed to be done by now if it wasn't for COVID... Can you believe...
I use distilled water on mine (50/50 mix) ;)
I saw on your signature that you are running Brembo calipers with S60R brake discs. Did you post any photos of that here? I have a friend doing that at the moment - Brembo but with 350mm disks and...
Nice updates Lee. I had no idea of the existence of the air guide splash protectors.
The DSG gearboxes (not sure if your friends has one of these) make the cars so much faster. It's like +100 hp difference ehehehehe
Yeah, getting the A arms poly bushed made the steering have a lot of road feedback.
I didnt pay any import fees to Portugal. They are inside the EU market.
I bought from here last time. They don-t have the NGK Iridium but these are also one step colder and will be good on your car/engine. I-ve been running these but two step colder and work really well....
You can fit a plastic one until you are able to find a metallic one.
There are plenty of plastic ones here:

Don't know that info Lee.
I´ve been running non-OEM plugs for a few years and had no issues. In fact, you should run colder plugs (properly gapped) because it will help with knock prevention.
I recommend you use the NGK...
The >05 T5's don't have it also.
Thanks!
Lee,
While replacing my battery a couple of days ago, I noticed that the fan on my subwoofer was a bit noisier. I did remember reading about this mod on your thread :) .
Are you still happy today...
Have you tried reaching out to a different tuner and ask for their feedback?
Have you tried installing the OEM TCV and see if it changes anything?
I had a Forge actuator when I had a MTE tune....
Lee,
I completely forgot about the SMF... I'm still on the original clutch so I'm using the stock oils.
I have a friend with a M56 gearbox that has fitted a SMF. Can he use the 75W140NS oil also?
I have used Castrol and Red Line oils on my gearbox. I find that Castrol works better when cold.
Got it!
The unpainted bumper trim could have been a downgrade LOL
It's weird because the rear lights are from >2005 model and the same for the rear wiper.
Is the R center console the same as your XC70?
Nice.
Are you sure your R is from 2004?
I´m runing 25psi on my k24 between 2.8k and 5.5k rpms and no issues at all. About the B5244T5 head, I would keep it and use a Vast ECU with VVT control. ;)
There is an ideal world and he does wonders :)
