Have the earlier T1-S's fitted to my S60 T5 and they have always been good, wet or dry. Having recently bought the V70 D5, fitted with Pirelli P6000's, the handling and grip was less than confidence...
IMHO, the only sensible option with around 5k to spend will be the D5 163BHP. I bought mine a few weeks ago and am very happy with it. I did contemplate going for the later 185BHP model, but they...
Have a S60 T5 (Geartronic) which has the RICA remap, and a V70 D5 (163 bhp manual) also with a RICA remap. The two are chalk and cheese, but it is very difficult to choose between them as they have...
Did my S60 about two years ago, but made new brackets from aluminium to the same dimensions as the original cast aluminium ones. Not really noticed any difference in engine noise being transmitted to...
Grill on an S60 and V70 are not the same. Size, shape and fixings are all different. Can't help with the exhaust, but gut feeling is that is is totally different too.
Have got the Brembo discs and Ferodo DS2500 pads, all fitted by VT and have to say the results are superb. Did some gentle bedding in over about 500 miles, and they really haul the car in from some...
Here is a pic of my S60 with Alessio 18" F1 alloys

Really is a matter of personal choice, but the TME sports exhaust fitted to my T5 by VT has attracted many positive comments, and is not obtrusively loud. Big bonus is no body mods required which you...
My advice would be an ITG panel filter from VT. Fitted one to my S60 T5 and it made a world of difference over the standard paper filter. Cone filters are good for noise, but thats all. Cold, dense...
Just got back from VT, and a big thanks to Hamish, Adam and Natalie for the warm welcome, great service and in-depth explanations.
The drive home has put a huge smile on my face, and my advice to...
Really looking forward to next week, and a visit to VT. Mods to be performed are RICA 310 with sports cat-back exhaust, suspension upgrade with new shocks and lowered coils, and Brembo discs, Ferodo...
Bought my T5 from Hylton Gott in Downham Market, they are a main dealer, and had looked after the car from new. Since then have used an independent, Kings of Witcham, near Ely. Could recommend either...
