Nice list .... just looking at the D088 intercooler, what big difference did you get from this? are you looking towards that block shimming that everyones going on about if you want anymore out of it?

Wow, that's an impressive list and figures, 445!!
I may be back here updating like that in a few years, if the Mrs and bank manager dont get wind of my ideas lol. After about 2 months of ownership of my 2004 S60 2.0t s heres a list of what I've done, (not all mods but make it feel like a race car compared to when I bought her) Repair power steering leak Replace top strut mounts Replace front wheel bearings Pirrelli tyres Dechromed and debadged Matt black front grille Matt black Thor wheels Custom matt black Headlamp eyebrows Yellow Calipers Black sunstrip Tinted tail lamps Straight thru exhaust Ramair induction Boost gauge Heko wind deflectors. I feel theres more, but there is definitely updates to come anyway, needs to be lower! |

Hybrid turbo - not sure what he did to it (bearings and bigger billet wheel I think)
Flux fabrications exhaust with 3 inch down-pipe Bigger injectors Custom air intake (again - unsure what he did - has a big piece of metal in engine bay that wasn't there before) - I did have a big plastic tube over the engine that is now made of metal I have a big cone filter thing and an upgraded MAF I have a large intercooler at the front of my car and unsure what it does but it is shiney and has lots of shiney black tubing A Gripper plate limited slip differential - it makes noises occasionally when I go around corners An S60R clutch has been fitted The engine has been tuned - a lot, given the invoices I paid A Stage 0 before any work was carried out which involved, essentially, rebuilding the whole car - some idiot had smashed out the LEDs on the DIM to hide the error messages, the CEM was knackered as another idiot had not reconnected a water washer tube, timing belt and water pump was done, most of the suspension replaced, ABS module...list is endless. Uprated fuel pump Just put on some 18 inch Eudora alloys with Michelin PS4s |
