Jacq, thanks for posting your car's new specifications. I'm looking forward to hearing about the car running at Crail!

Georgey dee · Apr 18th, 2007, 19:33

Well here goes:-

Engine:
Recirc gone and forge plate fitted

Exterior:
De-chromed Badges (polished back to black)
Headlight wipers gone (new headlight panels fitted)
black grill
2000+ volvo badge
2000+ Washer jets
Twin exhaust (black to match the badges)

Interior:
Led conversion to centre consol
Full Nokia Car Kit fitted

Suspension:
Volvo strut brace

Other:
I'm an electrical engineer as one of my jobs so most of my mods are Improvements to the electrical system, as I see it, so:
Fog lights come on with high beam (bit of extra light)
Fogs come on when the car is unlocked and off after 30 seconds/ignition on (like the Mercs)
Kick down knocks off the aircon for a bit more torque
rear led strobes fitted to head rests for when i do the safety car at marham
headlight wigwags for marham too (off road use only)
rear nearside fog light connected (and both flash if required)

Sorry thats it

I'm after an ECU remap next,,, which is best??,,, MTE seem popular.

Yes, MTE are very very good, I'd recommend them. Speak to Don at Kalmar Union for dates when MTE can do custom bespoke mapping also.

Above spec after MTE resulted in 290bhp and 340lbs/ft.

The next day I bent a rod (or three) so spec is having a massive change.

I'll post up precise details as soon as the beast is back on the road

Can't wait....

I assume the T4 engines are stronger than the 2.0T??? It's just that i was hopeing to get a V40 T4 next and i don't want the rods to bend on me.
