The Flying Moose - Project 855 T5-R (Attempt 2!)

[The Flying Moose]

Time for a quick project log.

Purchased 3rd of July from Hemihusky Black 855 T5-R.

After a good look around the car is a testament to its previous ownership, the interior is one of the best I have seen in any 850. Externally there are a few grazes here and there, light damage to the lower front splitter and both wings could do with replacement due to small rust bubbles but neither are so bad as need immediate replacement and alloys need a refurb.

Stacks of history, alot of the work is already done thanks to Husky so no cambelt and only minor parts on the stage 0 as ignition components are all done, just vacuum hoses to change.

Plans?

Tidy up the bodywork, refurbish the alloys... aside from that I'd like to fit a larger turbo probably a 19T but might stick with a 16T, larger injectors, strut brace, 3" Throttle, map and when money permits some juicy brakes up front.

Luckily its comes with some nice bits too, BSR Exhaust cat-back which has a lovely burble but not intrusive, Koni Yellow Adjustables, IPD Air intake Kit and polly lower gearbox and top mount bushes.
