One of my fav st's at the mo, keep up the good work mate,

 

Cheers for the comments people am a very happy man with the results

Rob

 

Bet this goes very well now

 

Oh yes


Rob

 

If only we lived closer to each other I would of asked for a ride out

 

I bet thata wicked to drive now!
Good figures.

 

Awesome ST mate !!

Do you have a quick spec list..?

 

Engine wise quick spec list is;

Piper catback 3"
Dreamscience decat 3"
Magnex downpipe 3"
RS injectors
RS spark plugs
Dreamscience hybrid turbo with Forge DV & Actuator
Dreamscience Turbo X map
Dreamscience induction kit
Airtec gen 3 intercooler
Airtec plenum
Pro alloy cold pipe
Samco/Roose intake hoses

Is brilliant to drive and power is very useable. Nice and smooth delivery but just wants to keep on pulling like a train.

Rob

 

still a lack of vids

 

Only vid I have editted upto now is the rolling road footage;

Rob

 

Did some footage of car on move from outside but wind noise ruins them.

Shouldnt be long until sorted some new ones though

Rob

 

Rob spoke to a volvo tech about the supposibly block cracking and he recons its only the early blocks that were prone and they were few and far between !! i have have found a black one which has 280 bhp and exhaust ect all done , just need to flog the evo lol

 

Nice one - what year? ST-2 or 3?

Rob

 

st2 i would like a 3 BUT this one has bits done already

 

what a cracking car, just read this whole thread top to tail

 

I went for the ST-2 over the 3 purely because I preferred the cloth seats over the leather.

If you want the footwell lights in the ST-2 like the ST-3 has all you need is 2 501 bulbs as the holders are there - only needs the bulbs fitting

Keep me updated matey as need more ST's on here

Cheers for the comments!

Rob

 

Rob, your sig now says much more to come. What else you got planned?

 

There is still alot to do;

Full powerflex kit
Quaife
8 pot 356mm front brake conversion
Anti lift kit
New seats
Half cage
Harnesses
Airtec radiator
Turbo cooler
More vents for intake
Uprate rear brakes
Jamsport oil filter diaphragm upgrade

Since I have the Dreamscience induction kit I do not need the standard intake scoop on the slam panel and it looks odd having it with nothing attached so set about fixing this - my new slam panel;





Away on holiday in next few weeks so guessing the free cash will be on spending money

Currently working on another type of custom grill I wanted to try - might have this finished on friday when I am next off work

Rob

 

After the big updates here are some smaller ones which I have been progressing - new custom front grill;







Saving for the diff but need to the get the little bits and bobs sorted as well


Rob

 

Loving you work mate

 

Perfect ST in my eyes. Best colour, spot on mods. Love it.

 

Cheers for the comments

Rob

 

guess what im getting tonight Rob

 

Nice one matey - you putting some pics up?

Rob

 

yes mate but its dirty and raining so ill wait till its dry and clean

 

Come on Jay start a thread like Rob has

 

maybe stupid question, but what size are the wheels?!?!

 

The car has ran 3 sets through the course of the build thread.

When the car was initially bought it ran 19x8.5 Wheelmania Savoy alloys

Then I ran Pro Race 1.2 in satin black 18x8 for nearly 2 years

Now running Pro Race 1.3 in gloss black 19x8.5

Still keeping the 18's for trackdays but comtemplating selling them for a different set of 18's and keeping the tyres

Rob

 

i was just thinking about wheels and i wonder what th2's would look like on a st

and im struggling for what ideas im going to make in carbon

 

lol just a few sets then!

could you keep me in mind if you sell the 18's, looking for some for my diesel every dayer.

 

A few other little odds sorted

Each foglight duct has had some mesh fitted;




Also added more ducting to the air filter

As standard behind the foglight surround looks like this;



I then cut out this area;



And got carried away;



Oops;



And the foglight surround to match - initial cut;



Mesh in place;




Now just requires the plastics repainting ready for show season

Rob

 

Very good little mods mate

 

Nice little touch mate, just watch those puddles!

 

i need to get some spare fog lamp covers to mess about with and carbon

 

Yes you do

 

A very cool trick and functional mod, kudos .

 

Cheers for the comments - need to paint the plastics and clean the car ready for a car meet this coming sunday

Rob

 

i think that's not clever
if is car driven only on circuit and dry weather its ok
but if some water get in filter its fail for engine

 

I think it is clever

I only use the car for fun - hardly ever in the rain and is far from an everyday car - it is lucky if it gets a short run every week
