Hey! you have exactly the car I want to get - great car for tuning...

you can have bags of torque from a petrol. I get 270lbs-ft at the wheels (so probs over 300lb-ft at the crank) at 2500rpm in mine, and very little lag. Big shove comes in from 2000 and runs cleanly pulling right through to 6500.

thanks :) 21,000 posts... you are a true car hound

Yes! My car drives WAY better than when it was stock... totally different car nowadays in how it feels. Most mods are underneath - like music, it can be crap or good depends on your taste. and yes.. Smaller alloys are better, why you think I have 17" OZ ? :)

They're a Honda so they won't break down. I drove one and it was so poor in the mid-range it made me cry... and that was compared to my at the time Standard Volvo.

Hairdryer or hot water and a credit card - just make sure it's clean so you don't rub grit over the paintwork

Re: Overtaking getting harder Just drill a couple of holes in the exhaust pipe... that will really help :)

The stock S40 is pretty refined, smooth etc... I've done a lot to get mine back to a more raw feel - you might be pleasantly surprised :) 850R is an awesome car, thinking about getting one as a track car, what's the spec on yours?

What model and colour 911 is it ? :) you got any optional extras??

awesome yeah I can see why - what maptun spec you running? they do some pretty crazy kits

have you had it remapped so you get the cracks and bangs on the overrun too ? ;) Milltek sounds a bit soft - didn't you consider a De-cat with a straight thru pipe ? :D

I saw your saab in the garage/photos section. Looks really cool - I'm a Volvo man myself :)

Welcome along - a Porsche 911 would be my baby too if I had one! Get some photos up once you've done your 10 posts :)

I think with Bodykits less is more... ... add too much you just look like you're trying way too hard - and that's never cool.

Re: Jaguar S-type R There's bound to be a few near by! Santa Pod shouldn't be that far - Google is your friend :) bet you'd get a great time and top speed with what you're running.
