S60 Mods planned

**s60gjb** · Thursday 5th October 2006, 15:46

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 pads, Goodridge hoses and Donax fluid.
Also on order are a set of 18" Alessio F1 alloys shod with Toyo Proxes T1-S rubber.
PFS are supplying rear spoiler, Heico front spoiler flaps, chrome/mesh grille and chrome wheelbolts.
Will put up some pics when all the mods when completed.

Haha - just been on the phone to them to book mine in too. The nice lady said she'd only just booked in an almost identical order to mine for next week - I guess that was you.

Mine's booked in for Wednesday.

I'm just going for the 310, Koni/Eibach, Brembo/Ferodo/hoses/fluid combination.

Edit: I've just found out the BnB I'm staying in on Tuesday night has free wireless broadband! W00t!

With 10% vpcuk discount, just under £1,600.

Edit: That excludes VAT, though

Plus there's the day off work (I'm a contractor), plus petrol and overnight stay, and however much I spend during the day's shopping in Brum.....

Lol, I too am a contractor, been thinking of similar mods at VT, they certainly seem to know there stuff, trouble is me car was/is still under warranty, so I will have to wait a couple more months

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 anyone considering it is "have it done soon". Driveability and smoothness are much improved, and pick-up is so impressive. Handling has been transformed to that of a sports car, and even rides the speed humps much better.
Too early to give an estimate on MPG figures, but first impressions are good.
Once again many thanks to all at VT, and hope to visit you all again in the future.
