Evening,
Thought I'd post a little project of this car as I look to tidy her up and use her for my daily runner.
I picked it up from Frankie and she looked like this:
I was very pleased very few marks and interior looked good for the mileage with only the start of tears appearing.
I was on the hunt after I bought this T5 for £250 as she was a little smokey:
She lasted 30 miles and it had an oil change during those miles. she also hesitated a lot and needed a good service but she started to knock and it got louder and louder till she just stopped.
So I had some bits off her and she ended up like this:
She is missed :(
Anyway back to the R :D
I decided to get out the tinting film:
Then went and had the cat cut out:
And got this fitted a few weeks later
The old one was blowing and look at this split!!!
Oh and new wheels
Which called for the tracking to be done:
Now drives straight and the front toes are bang on both sides.
Also fitted a forge blanking plate and bsr induction kit. Has a lovely sound now :D
Oh and this was my previous car:
The Volvo is about the same pace as the Clio and that was running 213bhp and 180ft/lb of torque.
I have a few more things in mind like getting the bumper sprayed, getting her remapped to suit the 18T as currently has a tim Williams 15G map and then get the interior freshened up.
I'll post more pictures as I get them.
