TFM's - V70 T5

[The Flying Moose]

Well I managed to last all of a day without buying another T5... infact the problem was more so that such a good deal came my way it couldnt be missed.

Not only that Woody T5 seems always to persuade me that I ought to be chasing his cars performance and that certainly cant be achieved in a D5! As such that will be for sale soon but thats another issue!

So the purchase... a Turquoise (although strangly also looks Lazer blueish in the right light) V70 T5. Previous owner you'll be pleased to know another forum member "godlikegary".

The car...

Just hit 212k, stacks of history and its clearly been cared for in its time... I have never seen a car of this age and mileage run so well and to be truthful appear to be alot newer/lower mileage. For starters not a puff of smoke after idling, off boost, on boost and the dipstick doesnt puff either... a first for me!

The decent Stuff... Spec:

-16T Turbo
-350cc Injectors
-BSR Performance Induction Kit
-Bailey Dump valve
-Full samco Vacuum hoses
-Ferrita Cat Back Exhaust
-Koni FSD Shocks
-Eibach Pro 40mm Lowering Springs
-Genuine Volvo 17" Pegasus aloys refurbed very recently in Gunmetal

So fairly well spec'd to start with, however there are a few bad points:

-Radiator Leaks and Requires Replacement
-Brakes Require Bleeding
-Needs N/S/F Wheel Bearing
-ABS ECU requires repair

Other that that a good clean and it will be a decent car.

Plans:

-Fit newer 2005 16T/19T with 3" Angled Outlet
-Larger Injectors
-3" Intake
-3" Thottle Body
-Reversed Intercooler pipework
-Racecat/Decat
-ME7/Jap Manifold
-Larger IC
-Blitz Boost Controller
-Remap
-Replace Beige interior with dark interior
-V70R Front Bumper
-M56L Gearbox
-850R Clutch
-Gripper Diff
-Poly Bushes

Thanks for the offer mate but picked up one from Dean last night...

However I am after some other bits if you have any Frankie, set of headlights as these are rubbish and any bits of black interior like door cards you might have.

Well little update... already begun work today.

Paid a visit to my local scrappies and agreed on an price for an entire Black leather interior, carpets, plastics, dash and centre console... so starting stripping it today and fitting a few of the bits I got off.

Will be returning to finish removing the rest tomorrow and hopefully have it all fitted in the V70 by the end of the weekend.

[V70 Graham]

Interior looks in good condition, will look great when fitted.
