Popular Post lookforjoe Posted November 14, 2015 Popular Post Report Share Posted November 14, 2015 This is the C30 I bought to replace the XR back in September. 91K, M66. Had to drive almost 5 hrs out into PA to get it. Basic handling mods are lowered (Eibach ProSport), stiffer rear sway (CorkSport/ Mazdaspeed3), modified front camber with readily available kit from Whiteline. Grille was plastic-dipped. Wheels were meant for the XR. Advanti Hybris 18x8, ET45 w/235/40x18 Kumho Cosmetics - sill decals R-Design rear spoiler - only available plain so I had to prime / paint / this CEIKA large six pot 330mm rotors came off the XR straighten back plates revised brackets CEIKA Rears will go on, once I get the modified hardware for the eBrake hydraulics. Have to flip the balance tubes, since the R caliper is now L, and vice-versa Some broken shit - didn't see it at the used car dealer - they paid for the parts, however. RedTail SS Exhaust tips intended for the XR and R Design lower lip That was going to be about the extent of it, for the time being. Then... someone on C30Crew stripped all the Elevate goodies off their 2012 to trade it in..... deal was too good to pass up. Also Porche 70mm throttle body. I had it machined down to better fit the Elevate intake hose Air filter +piping, Turbo outlet - IC - intake all installed Changed the hard plastic line to the Elevate MAF-turbo pipe - the stock section was too short & pulls the manifold fitting at an awkward angle (IMO) added a QR fitting to the plenum for the boost gauge before I installed it.. routed the lines along the firewall, used the SUR&R heat wrap I had bought for the fuel lines on the XR.. Mototec 3" DP (from EuroSportTuning) installed Currently running the Elevate tune for K04 with all his bolt on mods. Another C30Crew member makes this shroud to fit a Boost Gauge - using the dual boost from the XR. I'll add an EBP bung to the K16 manifold. Bung & line are SS K16 & injectors, tune will go in in the spring. 22 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johann Posted November 14, 2015 Report Share Posted November 14, 2015 OK. But it won't be modded? Nice mods, specially the plenum. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quiksilver Posted November 14, 2015 Report Share Posted November 14, 2015 We all knew it was coming. I'll always miss your XR, but I look forward to the post with pictures of a V50/S40 AWD drivetrain sitting on your floor. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nari Posted November 14, 2015 Report Share Posted November 14, 2015 I had been following your XC build from the very beginning... and was bummed to see it go. But, man, the replacement is really promising! Can't wait what else You do with it. It must be nice to have car which has wide variety of aftermarket parts.. readily available. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least the car is light. Pretty peppy with the Elevate tune. Hopefully the K16 will be more appropriate On November 14, 2015 at 3:32:45 PM, nari said: It must be nice to have car which has wide variety of aftermarket parts.. readily available. :) Yes! Makes things much easier - just have to get familiar with the Ford/Mazda interchange .... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martijn_B Posted November 16, 2015 Report Share Posted November 16, 2015 Sorry I meant the K16. I have seen numbers up to 350 at the wheels on the website of Elevate. Sounds amazing, but don't push it too far for the std engine block.. Keep us updated with the progress - and I love the wheels btw! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ihatespeedbumps Posted November 16, 2015 Report Share Posted November 16, 2015 Great thread/build so far!!! The real burning question in my mind, have you had the distinct pleasure of changing the pollen filter yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The real burning question in my mind, have you had the distinct pleasure of changing the pollen filter yet? I was looking at that - looks like a bit of a PITA - remove gas pedal?? Coming up soon - Snabb Intake pipe for P1's..... (pic from Snabb) Been driving this the past few days - my wife's 2012 Fiat500 I really like it - the Abarth version is fucking awesome. Honestly, if I hadn't already bought the C30, I think I would have been hard pressed not to buy one - you can get a 2012 / lo mi examples for around 14k 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ihatespeedbumps Posted November 16, 2015 Report Share Posted November 16, 2015 Yes, accelerator pedal removal required. If you have IAQS the fun factor increases x3. You made the right call with the C30 :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timbo Slice Posted November 16, 2015 Report Share Posted November 16, 2015 Seeing this thread is a great way to start a Monday. Really excited for you H and can't wait to see where this goes (you didn't actually think we believed you when you said you're going to keep it to a moderate build, did you ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
