400+bhp V40 T4 featured in this months PPC Magazine

[mitchyboy01]

Just read a great article on Ashoks 400+ bhp T4 in Practical Performance Car magazine. It's a great read and a good advert for Volvo tuning in general. Sell your T5's boys, T4's are the dogs danglies Mwahahaha

[t5_monkey]

That must make T5's the present

but you're right in the future... an extra cylinder will mean you own a T4 bu ha ha

Fred is pretty rapid once he gets going, quicker than a T5 up the 1/4 probably

D'you think they will be interested in my C70 when it is done?

I will stick with my gay t5 that's not so gay any more and handles better than any volvo I have owned previously thanks to ford

I've never driven a 'non ford' T5 so I wouldn't know how they handle.

What I do know is when you modify the P.2 ford platform with all the suspension mods it properly handles (I mean.. insanity level cornering).... enough to make your face look like this after a good bit of the windy schizzles.



It also makes the faces of those you follow in cars that supposedly handle great look like this:



Have to say (no offence intended lance) that the stock settings on mine (with sports suspension) were distinctly on the flobberly dobberly side till I got it modded and although stable fairly inert and didn't inspire confidence (I was running P6000's at that time mind.)

PS I'm completely drink and drugs free in case you were wondering.

I've owned an driven 850s standard and modified phase 1 and 2 7o series plus driven loads of s60s and driven old s40s and even as standard mine feels far better yes it could be better but its a road car that occasionally get used as a builders van and does a fair few speed humps. Not got 400 bhp but nearly 2/3 will do

[Wobbly Dave]

I hear good news from the Lance build - concerning the new FMIC??
