Well as some of you will already know I've been in discussions with Canward Racing to design and develop some Volvo tuning parts.
The guys at Canward Racing already have some very good cooling products on the market of which I will be testing myself this summer @ the pod.
But what I would like is an idea of the numbers that would be interested in the other products we are looking into developing.
So if you wouldn't mind taking part in the poll and then a quick message with your choices would be greatly appreciated.
At the moment I can not give any indication into prices as the designs are not yet finished but as these parts are going to be manufactured in the UK you will be making massive saving over imported products.
Thanks for your time
Steve
Note:
Please state your preferred material when voting for exhaust components, choices are Zinc plated Mild Steel or Stainless Steel, prices will be affected accordingly, some parts will possible be power / ceramic coated to special orders. All exhausts are finished with a choice of crome tail pipes. Also if you could state whether you would want it loud, quite etc.

A low cost 3" Downpipe WITH cat is what I would like, especially for the 2001 models and later.

Sorry - haven't got too much of a clue what they all are!
But I'll go for zorst - I'd like a grumbly one (like me?), not too loud!

I would prefer a sports cat for obvious MOT reasons and i have been lead to believe it is more beneficial than a de-cat !?!?

That depends on the rest of the set-up.

Would like a throatier back box or even twin at the right price not to noisey though, just nice enough for a little 5cylinder raw!

Done The Stainless Steel Zorst, The Next On The List Would Have To Be The Inter-cooler!

A nice twin exit stainless exhaust, closley followed by reverse Ic and a decent intercooler.

Bracer,
How does a 3 point strut brace work ? Or is it really designed for a Robin Reliant ? Just wondering, because I've only got the 2 struts on my V70P2.
Now there's an idea how about a Hayabusa engine conversion for a Robin Reliant. Our "Turbo Dave" could put a turbo on it, like the one on his 'superstreet' bike (picture:top left corner of the 2005 Santa Pod Calender) That does 7 sec quarters @ 180 mph (still street legal, & no wheely bars) !! Now that's twice as quick as the fastest Volvo's ! Imagine that, 530bhp at 10,000 rpm in a Robin Reliant. I think the driver would probably need a 4" exhaust pipe!
Enough of this inane banter I'm going off to bed. Hopefully I'll have dreams of huge Garrett Turbos.
Regards,
Hamish.

A guy once shoe horned a 3.5 litre rover v8 into a reliant kitten, he had to sit where the back seat used to be. looked ridiculous but it went like stink! :sinner:

It mounts to the bulk head too, giving you a 3 point mounting :wink:

Wouldn't mind a anti - roll bar kit aswel as various bush and mounts made of upgraded material !
