Fabulous, looks nice from the outside, and mean under the bonnet. A nice sleeper.
Gotta love the old beasties.
Is it running a custom ECU?

Mmmmm, I think I just made a mess! That is nearly perfect......but it could do with a set of clear rear lights from an S90. And guess what, I might be selling a set of them :D

the fuel consumtion isnt that bad really getting about 470 to 500 out of a tank and it is running slightly rich because it has not been tuned yet

I was damming my own consumption! If I didn't spend as much putting juice in the T5 I'd look to invest in a classic.
Woe is me....
Can't wait to see the figures off it tho! I hope it can be tuned up to something really scary! Should worry quite a few of the scooby boys!
