"Get one soon!"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

I bought the car knowing it needed a new clutch for £550, and 2 new tyres Pirelli P Zero for £280.

Only thing to go wrong - a brake light!

General comments?

This car is the CD model.

Leather, traction, climate, cruise, CD changer... Jesus it is absolutely class!!!

It has had a modification done to the turbo - a "TPiece" fitted, which give the turbo 100% compression all of the time, my car is now pushing out 285BHP!!!

Believe me it is so quick.

I love this car more than my wife!

I only paid £5000, it is a 96 N, with 106,000 on the clock. BARGAIN.

If a T piece can raise the horses to 285, think what adding a chip can also do to it. There is a site where a guy has a 400 bhp 850 T5, looks nice too.

I've got a Manual boost controller (T-piece) on my S40 T4 and if used sensibly it really changes performance to something scary, but you have to be careful not to go to mad or you will fry the engine big time.
