Dilemma... What to do??

[8501970]

I've done a couple of things to it since I bought it. I bought it as a standard car back in Nov' '07 and since then it's been a gradual project. Most major modifications are a turbo tuner with M.A developments custom map, JT full 3" system, Turbotechnics hybrid 15G and S60R green injectors. Performance wise I am quite happy with it so I am now concentrating on the fine details and appearance.

I have heard of MAD in the ford world i did not know he did volvos keep up the good work do you go to any meets in the car ?

Looking good Andy, I have to say that it looks just as good in the metal as it does in those pics (afterhaving seen it since the paintwork was done).

Cheers

Yes that's the one and same person, I do try to get some of the meets. I go to the Essex meets and I have been along to the 1/4 mile at Shakespeare this year.

He does, successful results too.

Thanks Kerry, I am really happy with the result and how the car looks overall now. You need to start your thread on here, it's long overdue.

I have been looking for someone to tune my volvo with a turbo tuner (not heard of one until i joined here) as i have heard great things of him how did you convince him to tune your volvo

[t5_monkey]

Here are a couple of shots of the car which I think will be best for the experiment it's been lowered and i've changed the exhaust since they were taken but it's the same otherwise do which ever you think would be easiest











Can I also be really cheeky and ask for the spoiler tip to be changed to black in this shot?



Thanks in advance

Is it wrong I just got a semi checking out all this Volvo goodness ?

He doesn't tune it himself as such, he supplies an ecu that can be linked up by a usb, so that you can take it whever you like to get it custom mapped.

Yes Mark Shead has a very good reputation for achieving superb results in the tuning world. I have been lucky enough to experience first hand the results of his work with a Sierra Cosworth, 2 Evo's and 3 Volvo's and they're all very impressive in their own rights. I had all the mechanical work on my car carried out by RT Mechanics and they then organised for Mark to tune it as Mark won't tune them directly only through RT's. If your interested in going down that route you will need to contact RT's

my 424 bhp sapphire cosworth was an M A developments car, car was nuts and nearly killed me

Thanks... I think, no seriously the car has come along way since I first bought it and it gives me great satisfaction to know that the car is being appreciated.

Yes he certainly knows his stuff. Perhaps you should get your V70R tuned by him then you can be as quick as an 850 auto down the 1/4
