With the S60 D5 now taking over as the daily runner and pretty much behaving itself (it's saving me some serious cash on fuel by the way!), the T5 is now officially a 'Project' for a while with a view for sorting out all of the performance issues and eventually getting it mapped etc. This will be a long project, so don't expect too much too quickly as I'll be doing a bit as and when I can. That said, it should be a good project and I'm looking forward to the challenge.
My plan is to sort out the basics first, stuff like the air leaks, surface rust, worn shock mounts etc. Then I can get down to work 'tarting it up', remapping and so and so forth. Should be good fun so watch this space over the next few months and you will no doubt see the transformation little by little.
