[t5_monkey]

wow... nice

[afzalmj]

Thanks Had fun modding it to death, will hopefully enjoy it next year when the weather gets better!

[gmain1967]

Loving everything - except the lack of pic!!! And those have to be the most serious specced brakes I've ever seen on a T4! Out of interest, what tyres are you running?

You running an open Diff ?

[mitchyboy01]

Hi Mo! Already familiar with your car lol. Welcome mate. I hope to see it in the flesh soon!!

Btw I found a used JT exhaust in the end and had it modded for the Holset similar to what you did. Saved a fortune over the custom one I was quoted for.

[M-R-P]

Been registered for a while? 6 years lol
You've been a busy bunny in that time too! Liking the mods, looking forward to seeing it in action.

[S70T5Chris]

You've been a busy bunny in that time too!

That's the understatement of the century!! Ask him what list of cars & mods to those cars he's had in the last 6 years...

It's weird, I flick through the members list and see names who joined in 2006, 2005 etc. and have had only a few posts and think they'd have been like me, sign up to get help fixing something, then never heard of again (although, I've hung about for 5 months now, got nout better to do I suppose ) but recently, lots of names have started reappearing on the "whose online" list.
afzalmj seems to have reappeared with a monster! so, what else have you been playing with?

I bought the T4 about 8 months ago, completely standard with 49k miles on the clock. It was 1/2 mile down the road from me!

Not in any particular order, but in the last few years, I've owned

2008 Honda Civic Type-R FD2 (Jap 4-door saloon) - best car I've ever owned without a second thought. Just a bit too hardcore for the UK roads.

2007 Audi RS4 4.2 B7 saloon - bit of a let down IMO - way too heavy in the corners, though the 4wd will pull you out. You simply point and shoot!

2005 Leon Cupra R modded to 270bhp - very nice car, few choice mods make them go very well indeed.

3 Accord Type-Rs, one modded to death, fantastic handling car, always went back to them!

Volvo 850R - manual, 18T, MTE stage 2, ...

A couple more, but those are the most recent ones.

This is my second T4 - the first one I bought about 5 years ago and it had a Upsolute Stage 1 remap. I think thats where my modding fetish started! It really needs to stop now, and it's quite ironic that I ended back with a T4 with the exception of a few mods

Gripper/Quaiffe diff will be put in once the clutch goes....

Looking forward to any localish meets!

Hi. You don't know anyone wanting to sell a hybrid turbo for a t4 do you? Thanks, Matt.

[afzalmj]

Hi. You don't know anyone wanting to sell a hybrid turbo for a t4 do you? Thanks, Matt.

Yes, my old 14T/16G hybrid turbo (direct bolt on) might be up for sale. Contact Tim Williams on T5D5 as he currently has it.

[Slomo]

mmm what sort of price?

[lurchio2]

Hi. I'm not sure how to contact him on t5d5. I'm interested if he's selling it. Any thoughts how I can get in touch.

[lurchio2]

Sorted it. I've sent him a message.
