Some on the bay at the moment going cheap:)


Like the project, did you etch the whole body or is that just a funny colour primer?

[scott25]

New poster! (less than 10 posts)

yes all bin etched, the paint thats on is somthin called bar coat wich is a base layer wich goes on before primer, i do have a spare set of front arches but rest of original kit was smashed to bits

[djinuk]

loving how that is going, whats the actual purpose of the bar, is it a coat to stop reactions within the paint ?

[scott25]

thanks it is comin on pretty well now, somthin like that, it doesnt let anythin below it through so the primer and colour has a fresh new surface or somthin like that, just cant wait for the colour to go on and get it back on the road :)

[dickiegtt]

Really nice mate:agree:! How come you don't wana keep it a phase one tho:confused:

[scott25]

i thought about it at first but then all phase two bits came up on ebay really cheap, i will change them back at some point i think if i can find all the bits that i will need

[dickiegtt]

Cool mate! So she will be able to morph from phase 1 to 2! Nice:)

slowly gettin there

[TURBO'D CLIO]

I didn't think you could run a bleed valve on the volvo lump as the boost was controlled via ecu ?

Looks good so far bud.. :agree:

[scott25]

i think the ecu has had a map of some sort cos it already had a valve on it and boost was off the gauge way past the limmit of 9 psi is it, and was running fine in the volvo with just abit of a grip issue lol

[TURBO'D CLIO]

Possibly had the rich mod ecu, very impressive mod chip if it has, taking it from a stardard 125 bhp to a staggering 160 bhp before you even touch filter, exhaust or boost.. 160 bhp at the wheels that is, so in a r5 and a bleed valve i reakon ur talking serious power from a 1.7 :agree:

Any othe mods planned for the engine mate ? If you need any help with wiring then give me a shout i found it very easy once i studyed the diagrams for like a week.. lol

[scott25]

to be honest ill be happy with it running anywere between 150 and 200bhp as long as its reliable so i was just goin for exhaust filter front mount and abit of boost, only issue with wiring at the min is were to mount all the box's and wich box's i could get rid of out of the volvo's loom, however im sure ill get stuck at some point so will give you a shout if thats ok lol :)

[leewild]

fantastic paintwork :cool: lovely cars a credit to you

[scott25]

finally got the right clutch after three attempts (215mm) :yeah: engine should be in by end of sat, cant wait

neayly ready for mot, just brakes, coilovers and last bit of wirring, cant wait to drive it again

[Wallace]

:eek::eek:

Looks the nuts:agree::agree:

Dam wish i had a unit like that too.....nice job mate:agree:

[firstchoicegary]

what brakes you going for??

[J8TRO]

Top work mate, well done for breaking the norm and going for a different colour. I like it.

Will look better when it's sat down on the coilovers and if it was mine i'd have to put darker wheels on it, but that's my opinion. Looks great

[scott25]

Not sure wot brakes or coilovers to go for yet but opinions welcome, as for wheels think its gonna be either team dynamics in black i think or some split rim style

[Spooky]

For coilovers, look into Gaz/Leda as we have club discount with them :D

[scott25]

well just bin playin round with car, got the fuel pump and filter on, abit of wirring done, bodged an i/c onto it turned the key and it ran, first time in over a year, made it a good day :)

[scott25]

Well today was a very very good day, finally got the 5 running and boy did it sound great.

i could describe how it sounded etc, but ill let the video's speak for themselfs

[r5gt1986]

Can Volvo's engine requires for residency or work for the same.

[scott25]

[scott25]

here is a vid we took today, there are also other vids of the r5 on there too

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_1ma0Qi5Oh4

[scott25]

[scott25]

just another quick update, had the car checked over today bin told its ready for mot and no reason for it to fail so booked in for sat mornin, first time in over 2 year and i can finally drive it on the road :yeah: cant wait, but does anyone know if i can tax the car with a day insurance cert as ive bin told different things ??

[TNT Tricky Nicky]

I was under the impression that you needed at least a month left on the policy to get tax.

I'd also check that the day insurance covers you to drive a car with no mot as when I wanted it the car had to be taxed and moted.

But either way I couldn't give a definate answer

[scott25]

well could not have gone better straight through mot with only lowered suspension and movment on seat frames as minors, had a few hour drivin it with only a few small issues and lots of people commentin, even though its not finnished yet it finnally feels like av got somwere with it, love it :)

[Coops]

excellent stuff scotty lad ;-)

[benj88]

great work there mate

[philg]

well done i bet you are buzzing :)

[philr5t]

very nice love the colour mate ;) :agree:

[scott25]

ya thanks all, mannaged to have a couple of runs out with a few teethin probs that have shown there heads,
one is the boost keeps spiking past a bar and causing it to shut down ( bin told to get de-restricted box ),
the end cap on gearbox has started to weap a bit, and am looky to get 90 mile from a full tank so think it needs mappin/settin up,
but apart from that im lovin the drive and attention it gets

[TrixNFlix]

90 mile from a full tank
:eek:

[scott25]
