Hi all better do a build thread. Started with a 73k 854 t5 with good-ish history but a few body blemishes especially bumpers (old man who couldn't park)
This is my daily driver so im not going too mad
To do list:
Done:
Titans
Front pipe de-cat
Bsr cat back exhaust
Boost Gauge
MBC
19T Turbo (in process of sorting)
White injectors
850R Clutch
Strut Brace
To do:
Tidy body work.
310 or custom map
Interior t5r / 850R
Lower car (springs or kit) poly's
Brake upgrade, either porsche or xc90 brakes once how to fit them is finalised.
Not too bad as i've only had it about two weeks and it came standard and sorting the 850R at same time.
Should have a reasonably nippy daily driver.

sounds like a nice build mate but you could do with putting it in the build section of the forum though.

Not really Going to town just a reliable driver I'm after. I have a really good engine sitting so may put h rods in that, plus bit short on time as rebuilding house

Would I need new pistons with h rods?

Depending on what boost levels your going for with the 19t, i'd go for bigger injectors than whites. Greens off the S60/V70R or the vxr injectors would be a much safer bet.

only gonna run a 310 map probably and set the mbc low, but i have a 16t i can use instead , im not too fussed as its only a round town car. more reliability i need than anything else
