Taken on my iphone so not great, one of the 850r in the garage and the t5r, the 854 there is a pic in the southern meet thread and the grey 850r ill post a pic when i take one.
A pic from the 854 interior...
There the boost gauge, wired it into the lights the other day, still working nicely
Did you find out the history on the black one?
nah not yet, it was registered in wales thats about it. I've go the bits to fix i.e replacement turbo, but i guess it will just sit in the garage until i get around to it. I guess ill need a new turbo to manifold gasket? anything else water or oil feed washers etc?

[B] The damage was never declared so its hpi clear. They did a half decent job of dialling out the twist with an alignment so make sure you take a note before changing anything. It's not bad, engine box etc were good[/B]
Thanks for that, ill have a look on the t5d5, but im guessing it will sit in the garage for a long while. Im looking at getting another one or two yet. ill run out of storage soon.
is the t5-r manual?
Had a look, soooo funny psml, they love there nazi's lol
That interior pic is a different car tho?

I have a burgundy manual 854 t5, modded enough for a daily driver, a auto t5r green, a black and grey 850r both manual estates. Hence different pics interiors etc. Yes claymore, black 850r well worth it in bits, has usual tuning extras plus new koni fsd adjustable yellows I paid peanuts and box is ok and engine plus alloys are good, stut brace etc. but it will just sit, but I may us it as an everyday car, but would need black interior. I hate it's blacked out windows. Drives really nice, would never know its been shunted, can't see anything in chassis rails etc, maybe it was low speed? Any how I'll be on the look out for some more soon.

Oh btw Koni's will either be FSD's or Adjustables not both ;)
Adjustables, have a little white knob thing you can adjust them with, so koni yellows?
[quote=dalhousie2008;454508]Adjustables, have a little white knob thing you can adjust them with, so koni yellows?[/quote] Yep that's the ones ;) Fronts are really easy to adjust but the rear's have to be unbolted at one end, fully compressed to engage the internal cam and then twisted one way or the other depending on whether you want stiffer or softer.

Still playing around with mine, there either soft or bouncy, got eibachs on, might change to a different spring yet

The ride is firm but not crashy whilst providing a solid stable feel under cornering and when slowing from motorway speeds suddenly.. I think the roll bars and front poly bushes have all helped with the feel of the car in general but as it stands now I personally have no need for improvement with the use the car gets.
