<steve_earwig> I think this forum is more about keeping our cars going with minimal outlay than giving our cars more reason to go bang

Ahhh, Good ol' Russ from RT Mechanics lol.

He ran this at a Drag strip back end of last year and only got a high 15 second. A bog stand 850 T5 (225hp) can do high 14's to low 15's.

The car is pretty tatty despsite its pretty much been stripped and repainted... Its pretty poor tbh.

(I used to be a 'saddo' from the Volvo tuning scene :supafrisk: )

PS. What u doing trawling on VS? Or was it a link from someone/where else?
