[quote=t5frankie;483091]nice motors m3's i had a burn up with one the other week (quite short) and there was nothing in it[/quote] He wasn't giving it the full beans then, I've obviously had both and the M3 evo in standard form is 320bhp and is a lot quicker especially accelerating when your into 3 digit figures. The earlier 3.0 ltr models were 286 bhp so maybe would of been close with your remapped Volvo.

Post 483120 by mitchyboy01 on 2012-04-08 00:10:00

Frankies 311bhp and heaps more torque would easily keep with an M3 evo in a straight line. With less transmission loss it would probably be putting more power to the road let alone the extra mountain of torque. Round the twisties the beemer would be far superior though as you know. My T4 with only 285bhp and 320lbft clocked 60-100 in 6.3 secs in 4th gear!

At the end of the day the Volvo T5's were never really designed to be sport cars, just really comfortable and quick in a straight line, handling never came into the equation lol. Maybe I should put a super charger on mine and see what happens :D At least your going in the right direction dumping the V70 and getting an 850R, one day you'll get a proper one and have a T-5r manual estate which are the rarest and the most desirable ;)

Yeah the auto's hussle, but sometimes aren't quite with you and seem to me alot slower after 80-ish on hard acceleration. But still love the lazy driving aspect of the auto especially on the motorway with cruise on and i've found hardly any diff in mpg on motorways between the two. Ideally an auto tuned abit would be a great daily driver, be interesting in seeing what you make out of it. One thing you do notice lol, with the auto is the brakes!! shows up worse without the engine braking.

I had a 328i E36 lowered and it was awesome round the bends. After my 850 t5s my t4 was a revelation and felt a lot more modern, hence me sticking with it. Not in an M3s league handing wise but not a million miles away with a few mods, great in a straight line and cheap to buy and insure.

[quote=t5frankie;501164]my car was my pride and joy but cos of a couple of irritating problems i couldnt get good money for it when i wanted to sell it, i got double what i could of sold it for in bits[/quote] Yep, feel the same way with my 850. Because the autobox leaks like the Torrycanyon (I got Qady's 850R box *kof* 'professionally fitted' by some outfit in Hull) I now can't afford to get it done since buying the V70 (which I have to admit to me is a better car). If I was able to I'd break it but it'll just have to be sold for peanuts as I can't keep two cars running (it's sorn'd at the mo). Anyway, your car is looking good from those pics, what ya got planned next?

[quote=t5frankie;501074]cant lower it with those wheels on and its staying comfy anyway so won't be lowering it, what do women know about style? lol she has volans lol :cuckoo:[/quote] Don't think the words "comfy" and "19"wheels" go together really. Looks good mate, but do you know the first thought i had when seeing......i bet thats slow :hidesbehi Not having a go just that one of the things that annoyed me about the autos was the high gearing and with 19s on you basically gear it up a bit more. Bet it chugs in 4th :snail:

What about this though "My car is dog slow mate only just kept up with a saab 9-3 tid and a audi A3 tdi up to big speeds" my s70r didn't have any trouble with saab or a3 diesels.
