Do you want a bowl of milk to go with that? What a snide comment to make on a great project. The work Tim has done for Chris is a bit above & beyond your average home mechanic & Chris has borne the cost in in order to get himself a true monster 850. It takes more than a socket set & a haynes manual to get a car like this one. But do feel free to post up your own project thread so we can see how you get on eh?
Chris, having seen it pre- Tim at Grantham last summer you fellas have done a great job, all the best, Morgan

Awesome results Chris hopefully will get to see it one day and cannot wait to get mine mapped 2.3 vs 2.5 if it's any where near that ide be over the moon

Are you going to the Gaydon VT meet on April 12th, it would be nice to see it in the flesh and get a few pics and steal some ideas from you?
You can get 100 in third easily changing the box on some of the 6sps , plus rev raised.
That is a bang out of order post!
I for one love seeing what is happening with this car as it's my ex. The mans paying good money to see it's done right!
If I could of afforded to keep this car up to scratch like Chris has, I would have. I'm only too happy to see this progress into the car it has!

Nice work Chris this car is a real credit to you and all the hard work tim has been putting in, it's certainly paying off. Gonna have to come along and check the old girl out when your out at the meets.

Everyone's entitled top their own opinion mate. If your not a fan of how I've gone about things, then that's cool.
I don't make any apologies for not doing the mechanics myself though. It's not what I do. But to say most people do all their own work (particularly tuning work) on here is a vastly inaccurate assumption.
As for the blank cheque comment; Really?? You'd be incredibly surprised at how much the entire labour bill has been. Over 80% of the build cost so far has been parts.

Looking good chris maybe you can pop to southern meet (Pompey). I'll be doing similar with my olive 850r but 6sp.

Next sat it's only a few people and were popping to the local breakers who usually have a good stock of Volvos. Meeting on top the hill in Portsmouth (southwark hill) where burger van is.
I may try and organise a quarterly meet
I'm going to order a DO88 RIP kit. The GWE stuff doesn't fit very well at all. The GWE maf to turbo pipe I bought ended up in the bin, it was miles off fitting correctly.
