Welcome to the forum, it's unusual to see a modified 440.

hello & :welcome:! I've owned a 440 (non-turbo), a 460 turbo and a couple of 480 turbos...still got one in fact
25 psi boost is too high for the standard map sensor....it would be also maybe worth fitting a improved recirculation valve like this one...

Welcome along. Nice car, good to see something different. Not a huge fan of the headlight tints though lol. I miss my 440, I had a 2.0 si, Not seen another si since!

It goes alright tbh at 25psi altho if i boot it and have to brake hard it sometimes cuts outbas if the engines flooded.
Yeah headlight tints a but hit and miss really.i like the look of the darker headlights but reduces light quite a lot,but i hate stuff thats really shiney so ive thought about joeying them instead.
And yeah does handle quite well but woukd be massively improved if it was lowered but i can only find 30mm springs and me being used to coilovers and dragging my ass everywhere 30mm just isnt going to be low enough :(

Some information on this forum below fella, a discussion on lowering...480 has same running gear

I agree those -30mm spring kits are not up to much, but if you go much lower you will need to start making adjustments

I'm the 13th owner of my '98 C70 - I think the RICA 310hp ECM upgrade that one owner added in 2005 must have scared a few of them off! :)
Badges removed
Side strips removed
Headlight tinted and grille painted black
This is how it looks atm.need to get it lower altho no one seems to make coilovers for these :(
I also own and run modified car club lonestar cruising (check us out on facebook if you get chance)and attend shows across the uk throughout the year.
Anyways im off for a look around the forum.
