Finally got my hands on my dream car!! My new S40 T4. It is road legal but it was built purely to be a track car by the previous owner. It's not exactly practical lol Needs an idle issue sorting but still runs well. This thing absolutely flys and handles like it's on rails.

The spec is:

Azure Blue S40 T4 Phase 1.5.

- Fully stripped interior (jury is out whether it stays like this)
- Turbo Technics T28 Hybrid Turbo.
- 3'' Turbo back system.
- 650cc Injectors.
- Water/Meth Injection.
- K-Sport 8 Pot calipers and 330mm discs Pagid blue pads (Phenomenal stopping power)
- Gaz Coilovers.
- Front and rear Strut brace.
- Some other braces underneath so I'm told.
- Rebuilt bottom end with H-Beam rods.
- Gas Flowed head.
- Gauges = AFR, Boost, Fuel pressure, Oil Tem.
- Oil Cooler.
- Team Dynamics Pro race 1.2 alloys.
- Mapped by Marco MTE.
- Alloy boost pipework.

Previous owner recalls the last Rolling Road around 350bhp/500nm! The rev limit is about 7500rpm and it pulls hard until the limiter. The boost comes in very progresively so there is no unnecessary wheel spinning even on damp roads, it just pulls and pulls. Bloody excellent.

Well enough of the essay, here are a few pics











Spent a day cleaning the engine bay. Nearly done.

Stunning! I love that there are no tuning issues with Ned cars... Getting a T5 P1 to those specs gets complicated.

Man, the car is stunning. Why doesn't this thread have more posts?
Do you know if the brake kit is specific for the S40 or custom built?

EDIT: Where did the battery go?
subedit: Oh, I see, behind the driver's seat.
