I defo need a 5 pot then as I am seriously spread out around the middle
No offence to T4 owners, but coming from a long line of audi 20v 5 pots both turbo and non turbo, it's the 5 pot volvo only for me
The plan I'm hatching consits of the following and in this order:
1. Full service and cam belt change plus all the checks as advised by you all (cheers) Poweflo exhaust and new air fiter. RICA remap to 300bhp - need to ask about this. Will check suspension and install new disks and green stuff pads.
2. Full valet and plenty of G3 + spit and polish...
3. Source R model front bumper with fogs and - if it doesn't have one - roof line rear spoiler
4. Source 17" R type alloys for summer and shows (16" for winter) might go for lowering springs depending on how high the car rides on 17" - don't want to spoil the ride due to my back issue (its a slipped disk one) Do they do coilovers for these?
5. Will probably tint rear windows (subtle grade not limo black) when funds allow.
Of course the above is based on the car I'm hoping to buy - but I have an idea of where to go once/if I g4t it (or another one)
I hope I'm not driving you all to drink yet.....
sorry to hear that pal.....you have my sympathies.....
fancy posting in parts wanted section for new disks.....maybe we could do a group buy lol....but I;m sure theres a law against that.
same here, all mods and improvements all dependent on spare dosh and cost of mods...tough times
lol, i had to read it twice pmsl, hope your back is on the mend bud.

With a few of us owning both T5's and T4's I am of the impression that the T4 is a much more rewarding car to race, but have all the characteristics of a 4cyl, twitchy, engine sounds like all the other 4cyl cars around.
The 5cyl has much more of a....'whoooooosh' factor. But sometimes it just doesn't feel that intense(then you realise your doing three figures es in a 30zone!!!
