Nice purchase, certain looks like a good one. I'm sure you'll find it hard once driving it about to not play around with it lol.

Thanks to James for selling me a lovely car.
I have never driven another modified 850 other than my own, and am very pleased that it seems very tame in comparison, it did pull well and boosted to 1.2 bar but just didn't have the urgency of the T5K.

No, I'm more than happy the way it goes, I'm even happier that the other one is in a different league (even as it is)

Don't need to prove it to anyone else, as long as I like the way it goes, plus anyone who has had a passenger ride in it knows how it goes.

Over the moon with it, needs tidying up a little around the edges but overall it's a great car with no rattles or shakes, but I've got to put the short shift back on pretty damn quick..lol

**smithy** · Sunday 26th January 2014, 15:34

Glad you liked your new car mate .now enjoy

**Jamest5r** · Sunday 26th January 2014, 21:23

Glad your happy with it, gone to a good home

**AndysR** · Sunday 26th January 2014, 21:26

Sounds like you're over the moon with it indeed! Like you said if it's that different to your T-5K then it makes the current mods all the more worthwhile especially when you consider a T5 powered 850 with 1.2 bar isn't exactly what would be classed as slow... Be good to see it at the RR event

Yep, I'm looking forward to seeing what it does on the rollers, I have a couple of little tweaks I want to do before then, even though it has new suspension on it, I was again amazed at how poor the standard handling is on these, after gradually modifying the other car over 4 years, you don't notice the improvements until you drive another one, there is absolutely nothing wrong with this car, but the other one is in a different league.

**WOODY T5** · Sunday 26th January 2014, 22:23

It feels about the same as the other car did about two years ago when I fitted the first t28 turbo.
