Right I've finally got round to posting some photos now I'm back off holiday.
I've copied everything to save me re-writing the whole post again...
The c30 t5 is a 58 plate (230bhp model) on 34000 miles, one owner full volvo history.
The private reg didn't come with the car.
Absolutely loving it.
Awful single figure mpg when going for it, 22-25 short commute & round town, motorway 37mpg at 75mph with cruise on.
The twingo never achieved more than 30mpg in my 28 months of ownership no matter how you drove.
It is the se lux model so it has extras like electrically adjustable heated seats etc. I wish it had the upgraded dynaudio sound system.
And it really needs xenons, it has headlight washers and projector lenses.
I need to look into what's the best aftermarket option.
A few photos from the sale advert:
I took the car over to efi-parts in Runcorn where Chris put it on the rollers.
It made 237 bhp and 258 lb-ft torques, slightly above standard which is 230bhp.
Awesome how it has over 250 lb-ft torques for so much of the rev range.
I went to pipewerx on Saturday to have a custom 3" downpipe and 200 cell sports cat.
It took them 3 and a half hours and they did a top job.
The standard downpipe is restrictive and is only 2 1/4" and also not the smoothest of bends.
No warning lights on the dash, a few miles in it this week should see the ecu adjust to it more.
I need the catback done now, unsure whether 2.75" (70mm) or 3".
I forgot to take a photo before they bolted it to the car.... :roll:
