The Big Red Machine

[MVR]

Bought my S40 back in 2013 as a standard 1.8 sport


This is how she started off!

I won't bore you too much as most people will know how it started its life off with me and to how it looks now.

I've done plenty of work to her with plenty more to come.


This is how she stands at the moment......












Spec so far......

Gloss black roof
Tinted windows
6000k hid dipped beam
Led full beam
Led sidelights
Led side markers
Full led conversation rear lights
Led interior lights
Led dash lights
Heko wind deflectors
Black plastic dip bumper trims and rub strips
Black plastic dip craters
Red brake calipers
Ph1 rear bumper spats
T4 engine bay trim
Carbon fibre sealed induction kit
Rear sun blind

I think that's everything?!

Still to come in the near future





Can you guess what it is yet???

Target is 300bhp forged engine

It's called an IOBD2 by xtools. Ye just plugs into the OBD port. It works on iPhones, iPads and android phones. It's a pretty cool but of kit.
It can read fault codes. Does live data everything from revs to co2 reading
