Back and a new car D5

[graemewelch]

Yes been pricing up getting the standard shocks uprated to the 30mm drop on standard shocks with the ones on parts for volvo with IPD top mounts and IPD HD drop links then poly bush the hell out of it that is next months play but stage 0 this month then maybe a intecooler and remap wondering whether to get an exhaust made as 534 quid is alot of money for not being turbo back.

is there anyway to get a t5r induction kit to fit the D5

when you live just up the road from me it makes it very easy to make things fit. who quoted £534 for a exhaust. i build them for £300. 2.5" straight through silencer and i only use mandrel bends not the cheap crush bends.

Unfortunately not....wasn't available on the D5 I believe.

So why have you got an R badge on it?

[M-R-P]

well just looking at the plan of things would love about 240 bhp but that maybe optimistic ha

With a DTi tuning box, chavboy's D5 163 made 177bhp and 341ft/lb on the rollers so I imagine a proper remap would fetch a fair bit more. However, you're intercooler will go pop pretty quickly so it'll be a good idea to go for an aftermarket one that can cope with at least 30 psi.

It'd be a good idea to have the car dyno'd now and done again after the mods to see the gains.

A few of my friends with gay clio 182's are having a dyno day so I am going to bring some class as I want to see what it can do before I start. I have found this intercooler as I no they deal with a lot of hi powered diesels http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Darkside-U...08620431&rt=nc

Yer I have been wondering wtf it's there it even has the screws for the number plate in the bumper just waiting on my log book so I can transfer my plate over and will put it in the correct place

[Plodmonkey]

Well after a few weeks of owning the car I have done a few bits and bobs after spending 6hrs cleaning the exterior of the car came up rather nice till it rained.


few little mods so far.


Ordering these at end of month for OPTIONS AUTOS cant wait to have them on.



Have a few ideas in the pipe line getting my R wheels hydro dipped in carbon fibre.



also found out why my standard strut brace rocked so much ha, ordered a new uprated polly bush so should be here soon.

[M-R-P]

That brace is supposed to wobble about but I see you've bought the tensioning kit too. That'll keep a lot of the vibration from the poly top mount out of the cabin

[stephenevans99]

Car's looking awesome mate....

I've had parts dipped with these guys - highly recommended:

Looking at your last pic, that Top Mount looks like the older rounded housing type, the new ones were far more square and less likely to fail. Even with a Brand New mount, the stabiliser bar will move. Fitting the Powerflex bushes either end will limit this movement quite a bit.

I don't think it's wise installing a Powerflex bush in top engine mount on a D5 - a few have done this and reported far too much noise and vibrations resulting in loose teeth lol
