Its for the v70 mate, i balled the other one up getting a bit happy with the sharp knife, well i lost me temper with it and stabbed through the board lol

[stribo]

So glad you've sorted this Wayne, hope 'taking it up with the relevant person' gets the results you want.

Although I would never compare my pathetic embarrassing mechanical efforts to yours, I too have a t5pete I rely on.....they don't half come in handy sometimes lol

You have 2.

Just realised how long its been since I updated this.
I got a refurbed ABS ecu from Niles and once fitted it has been faultless. Also got my money back from the initial bodged refurb from the other party so it didn't cost me too much. Car has been faultless, never misses a beat and so glad its a good un'
Took the car out today for little run and a clean up. Eventually managed to get it into its newly built garage home about 4 weeks ago. As soon as we built it, my lovely wife managed to fill it with furniture and its taken months to get it empty again.
Then it was full of V40's having an engine swap, then a turbo change and so today it was clean out and fettle.
I had been using the S70R as a daily for a couple of weeks during the engine change so its been enjoyable having it out and as tax is due at the end of March its been a quick 6 months. Have put about 1000 miles on it, and enjoyed the gay gold beast in the main lol

Was toying with selling the car, but where would I get another like this?? Kinda liked the look of C30Don's silver S70 t5 but having washed the car today and put it away under its car cover Im feeling the love all over again. I sold the Grandad mobile, which was a great car and was lucky to drop on a quality car again. Better the devil you know???

It's about time! My S70 thread was looking a bit lonely in here don't sell it!! Unless you want to sell it to me.......... Are you still looking for an egg crate grill? I don't think I want to fit mine now.

Nah mate, I'm not selling it. I got impatient waiting for an egg crate grill and bought a brand new one from Rufe last year. It was an extravagance but hell to it.
As I found the new found love again for the Saffy, I treat it to a new present this week.
Had been looking for a set of chrystal headlights and indicators for a while, but whenever a set came up for sale they were an arm and a leg and Im a true Yorkshireman and tight
Managed to get hold of a set this week, did a swap plus cash so on they went on Saturday morning.





Also bought a Grippr diff, had wanted one for ages but they never come up. Luckily for me the Ogre being an exemplary wing man spotted it and jumped on it for me. Also got the RIP kit, 3 in throttle body and intercooler to fit so its been an expensive month lol.
One day might even get the brand new 850R rear spoiler painted and fitted, lots to do and an empty wallet now

[AndysR]

Good to see you've found new love for the car , certainly paying off, it's looking lovely

[deathrider311271]

Wayne your car looks really nice with those headlamps, i was looking for some crystal headlamps for my S70 but then Frankie decided to sell me his projectors at decent money so got them instead. Anyway keep up the good work mate and i still have this angled flange if you still want it?? If not i will use it on the S70 lol

[martybelfastt5]

[merc85]

[AcidicDavey]

Best choice on a Saffy; Eggcrate and crystals!

[munster732]

Just a quick update, ive done nowt but spend my hard earned lately and in the coming weeks hopefully the next stage will be happening.....if there is enough hours in the day.
With Pete's help ( leave this space for his pee taking) we are going to drop the engine and box out of the car.
M59 gearbox will be coming off and an M56 with brand new Grippr diff will be installed plus an 850R clutch. new cv joints
ME-7 Japanifold, angled flange and 3 in downpipe and sports cat going on
PCV kit change and cambelt change
TNS custom built intercooler and RIP kit fitted, GWE intake pipe
AFR gauge and boost gauge fitting, double din stereo coming out and single din going in to make space for gauges.

Not much to do then, definitely not possible without the help of the big man.
Everyone should have a t5Pete in their life, its the way forward

[AndysR]

What's wrong with the M59 then Munster or are you just swapping to have a more hardcore diff?
