Thought after crashing your great weekend at Prescott I should introduce myself, I tagged along with Claymore (the mental Volvo) and the Flipped out Kustoms lad's (top bloke's) Had a superb night on the Saturday and the most fun with 30 quid on the Sunday ive had in a loooong time, never done a hill climb before but will be again for sure lol. Many Thanks to the power's that be that organised it all. Cheers Oh and my car, a 95 t5r, forged block/t35 hybrid garrett, etc

Woot for another Volvo! I now have two - the T5 tow barge with 196,000 on her and the BTCC replica in the making that was there on Sunday! Enjoyed seeing the T5r's going up the hill!! If my old T5 could go like that I would be a happy bunny (sadly the BTCC replica never will... she is a n/a... no turbo = no fun!

I'm afraid this one is just a lowly 2.4 20v not a t5 I'm going to argue that was intentional because the touring cars were normally aspirated but its was just how the car came 5 throttle bodies, some cams and a few bits might sort the power issue though... and clearly some coilovers to address the stance!! J =)
