Your excused Mine's still on LPG, so shouldn't be too bad, thought I wonder what my Garrett is going to think of it?

You will fly like the wind with a Garrett i should think?

Thanks Greg

I have never been in a 850 with KONI FSD Dampers, but I did have Koni Yellow Adjustables on my old 855. I thought these offered a good setup.

Have you considered the FK Highsport/Silverline Coilovers?

Im considering the latter for my upgraded suspension in a few months, the KW's are just too expensive and I dont need the adjustability of bound/re-bound rates, personally.

A lot of people have said the Yellows where a good set up! with coilover's if i was going to get them it would be the KW 2's Barnsly Bill has just bought a set of coil over and they look very good for the money so we will see?

I also intend to do track days as well, but saying that Tim dose just fine with his Yellows

Thanks Greg

[GregE102]

Update & New pants required!!!!!

Big Thanks To The Williams Again for having my car for so long again!

Car is Now Complete! Apart from A Custom map!

Now To Add to the List
BC V1 Race Coilover's, MRG 4 wheel Alignment
Porsche Cayenne Rear Calipers and S60R rear disks
DS2500's all round
Oil Temp/Pressure Gauge
470cc Injectors
Water Injection + Tank in Boot
Walbro Fuel Pump

Plus lots of little things that he has done that will improve the car which i can't even remember

End result?

Well the handling is now sorted Thanks to Tim spending a long time at MRG getting the 4 wheel wobbly bit done, he managed to get 1.5 deg camber from the bottom of the suspension with out touching the top mount at zero and then done it again and made it so it has 2.5 deg of camber with the top mount pushed full over! So for road driving 1.5 deg Camber zero on the top mount, And turn up to track and set them to full over for 2.5 deg camber for track.
With all the IPD ARB's, Diff, Bushes and links I am over whelmed by how well it goes round Corners it leaves the FSD & Eibach combo for dead

Power is amazing, now with the new fuel pump, WI. and injectors seems to have sorted the fueling Issues and it pulls like a train with no sign of letting up its fast very fast!

That little 16t with the different core is amazing! With 3 big guys in the car and some bits and bobs in the boot it was still pulling like a train! And from low revs as well it a very usable turbo, and it still pulled with increasing boost all the way to the red line! boost comes in at about 1800 rpm @ 1 bar and climbs with the RPM to 1.5 bar. I can't see the need to go any bigger with regards to turbo's, Having driven cars with GT28's and 30's personally they where both to much for me lol plus i am **** at Driving

Again!
Thanks Tim Williams you Genius! you have made a very special little car

And Thanks all who helped get parts and shared there tuning tips

PS if you want a car built Go to Tim! He is your man

Still Left to do












Start doing track days & Enjoy! & Just a full respray next year

Sounds like alot of fun very nice

[GregE102]

Well It dose not look any Different! But it sure as hell drives and goes like totally different car!

And as for that Pump Hidden away under the Air filter I can't believe it dose that?

The new methanol tank is all hidden away nicely with enough room for the spear wheel as well!

Also you will notice the high density foam around the spear wheel as well, which has raised the level of the boot floor so the 8j wheel is now totally hidden away and looks normal with the carpet down!
It's a shame that Tim Has put so much work in to the car and I can't show any of it to you lol
The handeling is brilliant to say the least, After all the suspension I have been through with my 850 and there has been quite a bit! lol I just wish I had gone KW in the very beginning and saved my self a small fortune lol It so far seems to soak up all the bumps like a Normal new standard car but chuck it in to a bend and it just seems to firm up and feel great as you come out the other side! And I have not even firmed it up yet!
The Gearbox has taken a little bit of getting used to, but is super smooth, when i came back from Tims Yesterday I cruised at an average of 80 still under 3000rpm and it used a smidgen over 5 gallons to cover the 155 miles, not sure if that has anything to do with Tim & Bens Mapping though?
As for speed it so much faster than with the 5 speed box with out trying?
The Diff is now nearly totally silent after adding the friction Modifier, It has lost a Little bit of its pull but is easier to control I tested it out of a roundabout earlier and it still dose what it says on the Tin So top Tip if you want a diff Get a gripper and put Modifier in it and forget the Queef! as in the bends its about as much use as one in comparison! lol

Can't wait for my first Track day!

Thanks to Tim Again for all his hard work!
Thanks to Tim & Ben for Mapping it! Ben i know you went out of your way a few times whilst busy as well! so Thanks!
Thanks to Qady for Parts And Thanks to Gary the wise old owl for his advise as always!

Now where is Uncle Tez?

[WOODY T5]

looks very nice greg wots next then?

[AndysR]

Sounds like you've been busy with the car Greg, I love the boot set up now with your water injection tank sitting neatly under the spare wheel. Be good to see the car out at some of the trackdays, you have to let us know when your going to them.
Not jealous at all of your suspension set up... much.. lol My brothers got KW's on his S70 and they are phenominal, well worth the high asking price
Get some more pictures of the car in the sunshine she's hiding in the shade in that shot

[iancho]

Very Pleased to read that you have finally done it all Greg after everything you went through a few years ago. Keep up the good work and i hope to see it in the flesh one day

[martybelfastt5]

one sorted 850 there congrats greg!
