Dazab's V70 project manual & t5 conversion

The more that I look at your motor now , the more I can imagine how it will look lowered with graphite Titans- and I think it will be very nice mate.

newest updat, many thanks to foammanmark for the titans, could not wait to get them on and must say, the difference in ride is awesome! lower profile tyres etc makes it just that bit better for cornering etc, just on the look out for a full set of 4 tyres, going 215/40/17, instead of the 215/45/17 that are on, really liked the look of the tyres that TFM has, prada 2 i think, unless someone can give me some suggestions of what tyres to go for, its more the all weather grip factor im after, anyways here is a pic or two with them on,







i think lowering is going to be one of the next jobs as it seem to sit very high, and also full refurb on the wheels too, either staying the colour they are or colour match them to the car? suggestions there too please

the engine rebuilb should be underway in the next couple of weeks so keep an eye out for that too

Lowering is a deffo needed! Also, bigger brakes. Put the ones off the T5 on? They look tiny compared to the ones mine had and I wouldn't of described them as sufficiant when you hit a good driving road, pulled up many a time with them on fire... Don't know if you've decided on this yet cos' not followed the thread that closely, but gun metal grey on the wheels is the way I would go with them.

And the obvious external requirements such as a spoiler, v70R grille/front bumper

Well got a couple more bits done today, changed the 2 doors with dints in lol







feel much better knowing that is done now as its been bugging me for weeks lol
also got the interior lights working as they should, so hopefully i wont go to it and find the battery dead again, also be able to see what im doing when i get in the car lol, next jobs are to change the bonnet as the old one has lacquer peel and its annoying me and then im gonna start on the R bumpers ready to go on
