Here it is an auto little train.It feels heavier than an S70 model but estate is what I was after anyway.Needs tax,mot and some mechanical work.Only 1 pic for now.Silver wheels don`t look nice so I`ll be painting them in near black or send them to MPR lol.The car has never been modified apart from a cat back exhaust and a boost gauge.Right now I`m over the moon with the purchase a massive thanx to PHIL V70R and frankie.
nice mate
loos very mate well done guys so wots your plans then mate mod or keep bog standard
keep it standred mate....sweet motor tho..
i think the silver wheels look great
Keep it standard, Or add another oil cooler in to protect the Gearbox before modding
[QUOTE=WOODY T5;559874]loos very mate well done guys so wots your plans then mate mod or keep bog standard[/QUOTE] Thanx mate. 1. make sure she`s reliable on the road and service 2.start from light mods first like rip kit,possibly decat. 3.get the alloys resprayed to make her look nicer. I wanna get about 280bhp tops for now and looking for an LPG or HHO.She`s not going to b a track car but as it goes and might have a manual convertion for now with my back auto is a Godsend.
[QUOTE=merc85;559880]Keep it standard, Or add another oil cooler in to protect the Gearbox before modding[/QUOTE] So yrs gonna look special between 2 brown on a photo session one Gav:wink:
Looks good mate. The wheels deffo need to go darker. Nice to still see some around that havent been modded.
with an auto just map it and it will go great and be near the 280 you want it has an exhaust already, just make it the mintest you can
I have a Rica mapped ECU sitting here mate if your looking to buy one and its from an auto.
[QUOTE=merc85;559880]Keep it standard, Or add another oil cooler in to protect the Gearbox before modding[/QUOTE] Didn`t know that,cheers Gav [QUOTE=t5frankie;559887]with an auto just map it and it will go great and be near the 280 you want it has an exhaust already, just make it the mintest you can[/QUOTE] I`ll have to wait for map a bit,have to save up.Lets see whats the power on a dyno when we meet up with light mods 1st.Rip kit,induction kit,poss 255 wallbro.

[QUOTE=smithson007;559894]I have a Rica mapped ECU sitting here mate if your looking to buy one and its from an auto.[/QUOTE] How much mate?
[QUOTE=Kingsford G;559900]How much mate?[/QUOTE] Ill be honest mate ive no idea at all what theyre worth. Its a good map. I had it on my S70R and it could fairly shift.
[QUOTE=smithson007;559902]Ill be honest mate ive no idea at all what theyre worth. Its a good map. I had it on my S70R and it could fairly shift.[/QUOTE] Is it 280 or 310?
[QUOTE=Kingsford G;559906]Is it 280 or 310?[/QUOTE] As far as i know mate its a 310 but it was on the car when i got it so im afraid i have no proof that i could show you.
I thought the autos ran a 280 and manuals 310 ?
[QUOTE=merc85;559908]I thought the autos ran a 280 and manuals 310 ?[/QUOTE] Ill be honest mate im confused with the Rica's. Im not sure which is for what. Im sure you used to be able to get 330's too but im hoping somebody will be able to tell me what the crack is.
304 runs a slightly higher boost level & has to be ran on hi-octane to get the full potential out of in. 280 can be ran on anything believe there was a difference between manual & auto to save the torque converter, but sure they did the 304 for both
[QUOTE=merc85;559908]I thought the autos ran a 280 and manuals 310 ?[/QUOTE] 280 for normal fuel 310 for super unleaded as far as I know but with autos I don`t know myself tbh.Yr ecu is from auto isn`t it Gav?
[QUOTE=smithson007;559909]Ill be honest mate im confused with the Rica's. Im not sure which is for what. Im sure you used to be able to get 330's too but im hoping somebody will be able to tell me what the crack is.[/QUOTE] its all hype on the names anyhow just thought 280's where for auto's and the others for manuals
Could be a 304 then if thats the case beacuse i know i had to run it on v-power all the time same as the one on my V70R now.
Think the 310 is for the 18t and 304 is for the 16t
[QUOTE=LiamT4;559914]Think the 310 is for the 18t and 304 is for the 16t[/QUOTE] Possible as my 310 was on 18t but if thats an auto ecu it should be the right one for 16t

[QUOTE=M-R-P;559929]Haha, sorry dude :) Ask away mate...[/QUOTE] For preparation where the curb marks r do u fill them in and rub down or just rub down,how many layers of paint and clear cote,etc.?
Ok... The short version... 1. If any mangled alloy is sticking - out from the wheel, cut or file it down. 2. Clean the area with something like thinners or petrol. 3. Using good quality body filler, fill the damage and smooth it of with a wet finger. 4. While the filler dries, mask the wheel, right up to about 5mm from the damage. 5. Sand the filler smooth and fill/sand again if needed. 6. Primer on the repair. 7. Peel the masking tape back 5mm and wet and dry the edge of the primer, leveling it. 8. 2 or 3 layers of paint and allow to dry for an hour or so. 9. Peel masking tape back some more and wet and dry it to smooth the edges. 10. Flash it over with clear coat and allow to dry. 11. Remove all tape, use 2000gr wet and dry to flat the repair and buff with T-cut scratch remover. Think that covers it :D
Lets hope I don`t lose my patience lol
Just don't rush it mate. One wheel at a time ;)

This is a black badge and still 21 gaps.
Really don`t care what it is It looks nice and I love it:biggrin:
So the grille with 21 gaps and a bit of blue on the badge is the 2003> c70 version. 21 gaps and all black is the 2000> xc70. 32 gaps and a bit of blue is the 1997-2000 xc70 ..........possibly
Ok, after looking about on tinter-web - C70s also have 21 gap grilles - I stand corrected but the blue badge thing still stands.

Done auto box fluid change,took about 12-13L to get it clear,oil change and filters,unfortunately didn`t change the s/plugs `cos run out of funds.Pcv seems ok but have a new 1 if needed.Well she seems like ready for tomorrow.She`s not washed like most of yr`s so u have to put up with a messy train.
Good luck mate, are you running on the rollers?
[QUOTE=Biff;573863]Good luck mate, are you running on the rollers?[/QUOTE] I was gonna but not now as noticed water was pushing out.The last owner didn`t tell the truth and it might be head gasket.I haven`t driven the car rally since the purchase till I had a lot of work done to it and after a bit of driving around last night checked the levels this morning and the coolant was low and some coolant on the top up tank that was pushed out.Gonna calm down 1st and c what it needs,not happy at all.

They look really good mate, your car looks totally different now! :B_thumb:[/QUOTE] It was a quick find,thanx to Martin and I had to wait till late to fit them after work.Now waiting for my alloys to b done,roof rails and mud flaps and should look even better.
I don't like them, and would never fit them to my car. ;) So you've copied me, who's copied Ian, who's copied Frankie, who never copies anyone. :lol: Looking good mate, if a little too blue.
Now I can see them (was viewing on my phone earlier which still won't display some pics on the forum) that finishes off the front end nicely, 8000k HIDs look horrible tho lol. Bulbs are pretty cheap from China.

Fair play dude, looks bang up to date with those headlights. I'm still left wide open on what to do cosmetically. Bet projectors aren't cheap.

Like the look of this KG, and I think the silver wheels work well, they look bigger when they're silver. That said you can't beat the Anthracite look ;)
