    I'm Clean!

    Managed to get all the cars cleaned! Not polished unfortunately!








    I did clean the Zafira as well, but didn't think you'd be interested in the family bus!

    Slow progress mate. It's finding the time. Bought a 940 hpt for the engine, and slowly been buying bits and bobs for it. It'll get there. I'd like to see 200bhp+, I think it'd be a fun car!

    The atr is an awesome machine mate. My first experience of Vtec Yo! I would bet in a straight line it's faster than the average remapped 850. I need to get it back on a dyno. It was last dyno'd at 230bhp, with typhoon induction kit, and full (decat) exhaust system. Since then it's had a ported cylinder head fitted, so should be good for another 15bhp ish! Once your in Vtec its a nippy little thing! Had a drag race with a 2005 S60T5 (circa 300bhp give or take) and there was nothing in it up 100+ish (GENUINELY on a private runway!!! after a track day at Abingdon airfield)! So it's certainly not slow! And will out handle pretty much any volvo that anyone is likely to build on these forums!

    Yeah i know. One came up for sale a little while ago, that someone had already put a 940 turbo engine in. I almost bought it, and abandoned this project, but I like the car, its a good one. There's not many decent 240's left really!

    Is a standard 850 T5 a slow car in your opinion? It would jizz on a standard T5 even in a straight line.

    Someone was selling a complete kit on the atr forum a while back. Engine, ecu, turbo etc etc everything you need for around £1500. I considered it, but tbh it doesn't need anymore power. I thought when I got it, it would feel slow, as I've been used to 300+bhp for so many years, but it genuinely doesn't!

    a 340bhp accord type r will be a proper machine, if i had the time money and space i would go for it, sooner have my cossie though

    Oh yeah I don't doubt it. A friend of mine has a DC5 running 270bhp. Which is absolutely as far as you can go until you start supercharging or turbocharging. And that thing is seriously rapid!
