the new R

[leet5r]

the t3 will struggle to make anything over 350bhp so its about the same size as the 16t smithy , a t3 has a .48 housing not the .63 lol.

needs a set up to get the most from it like , dean al be taking it to motorscope for a power run and set up in a few weeks a reckon if your game for a power run

[smithy]

You won't get 350 bhp out of a 16t ether and I said I had a .63 exhaust housing on my t4 hybrid and yes the .48 exhaust may be small but very good for fast spool up though. But don't get me wrong i always have liked the cossie but the rs500 and escort are my fav

[leet5r]

Sorry to hear this Lee, but you sound exactly like me. I'm running a V70 R and C70 T5 for my 25-30k a year business miles. However, by driving them carefully, I'm getting 30 in the R and 34-35 in the C70, so can just about afford to carry on with them. When it's a weekend though, I put my foot down and drive them like they should be driven.

Having the darker interior is far more desirable than that horrible light interior. Keep the wheels the standard colour so the car looks stock on the outside and just make it go faster. Will be the best 850r on the forum then in my opinion.
