Hi everyone, heres a bit of info about my car.

1999 T reg, Ex Scottish Govt car, 117000m, full history & printouts.

18 In Pegasus Alloys, Goodyear F1s 225-40-18

Rica remap - 19T turbo, ITG filter, 3in downpipe, Milltek full system and sportscat.

Monroe Reflex suspension, eibach springs,
polybushes, full leather interior, new clutch, new ETM.

I believe the work was carried out at VolvoTuning in March 2006 by the previous owner.

I have no power graph or figures though, what bhp can i expect from that conversion ? Any one have a similiar spec and a graph they can upload ?

Hi and welcome to the forum. Car's looking nice. Sorry, can't help on the power figures. There's more than one level of RICA map as well so that would change the answers too.

I've got an MTE Stage 1 and a 3" downpipe but I'm waiting on the cat-back before I go and put it back on a dyno / look at the next stage of mapping. If I do do any more work then I'll get it dyno'd.

I have a question on your wheels though - how come you have 225's on 18" Pegs when the spec for a new R with them is 235's? You're not the only one with that size but I never thought to ask before! I've always wondered if 235's on my S60 would rub - but 225's might work!

Tony

Rear pic it's gained tints and a spoiler since your ownership lol
Sitting at a spaceship 193,000 miles on it and still boosting as should.
I payed £2k cash a year ago for it from diamond auto's in Coventry. It had a split rad, £80 later and it's never missed a beat since. Thought this might be a bit nostalgic for you seeing ur old motor still alive 8+yr later

Cheers mate I was surprised to find the guy that used to own it on here though lol. Although looking through his gallery it's changed a lot since he had it.
