wizzard_al Posted November 17, 2015 Report Share Posted November 17, 2015 Everyone knows that Hussein has that itch we all experience, but his is stronger and needs more to stop it. I found it hard to believe he wouldn't mod any new car he got, and he proved me right. Just waiting to see what comes next! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piet Posted November 17, 2015 Report Share Posted November 17, 2015 Very nice C30, especially with the new wheels. I'am pretty sure it won't take long before it's power exceeds 500whp though 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lookforjoe Posted November 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2015 Thanks guys, however it think you will be underwhelmed ;) no plans to go beyond the K16 on this - so likely only in the 325wheel range, from what I'm seeing. I can't even really call it a 'build' thread, since everything is bolt on - I haven't had to fabricate a single part myself.... Perhaps in a few years I will change my mind, however, this is my DD and I'm not going to get carried away with it like the XR, really. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(wink, wink, nudge, nudge.. know what I mean.. say no more..) Wait a sec.. bolts-on mods don't count..?! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1fastglt Posted November 18, 2015 Report Share Posted November 18, 2015 WoW! I'm totally Johnny come lately! You sold the XR? Does the build thread still exist? I was taking a few cues from your thread. What prompted you to get rid of it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1fastglt Posted November 18, 2015 Report Share Posted November 18, 2015 Okay, I found the thread where your XR endeavor came to an end. Wow! The extent of the engineering.....AMAZING! Hate to hear to here that things came to an end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just not the same as building a P80 - where you are making stuff work that was never intended for that model. The C30 has much more readily available to it. I guess what I mean by that is that I'm used to a 'build' meaning a fair amount of thought and design and fabrication or modification has had to be figured out to get from point A to points beyond... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Dastardly Posted November 18, 2015 Report Share Posted November 18, 2015 i agree, anyone can just slap a few readily available bolt-ons on a car.. Not the same as "building" a car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timbo Slice Posted November 18, 2015 Report Share Posted November 18, 2015 Or buy an already built (read: factory supercharged) car for that matter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loseR99 Posted November 18, 2015 Report Share Posted November 18, 2015 Liking the blackout on the C30 Hussein. Looks great! It is cool that the C30 has such a good aftermarket selection of parts. I've been telling myself the next time i'm in the market for a vehicle that is where I will search first, by aftermarket. Looking on the ATP site, they have some big turbo stuff for the C30/V50/S40. Then i got sidetracked looking at the ecoboost stuff, they have some really good looking kits for both the Fiesta and Focus ST. Not to mention a 500hp capable kit for the SHO, explorer, and F150's with the twin turbo 3.5 V6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking on the ATP site, they have some big turbo stuff for the C30/V50/S40. arts aren't really an issue for these cars. Tuning is what holds the P1 chassis cars back. Barely anyone tunes them, and the only tuner I know of that's willing to do more than just sell you an "off-the-shelf" tune is Shark Performance. I haven't been on C30Crew in a month or two, but the last I heard they were still trying to catch up on the US-spec K16 tune and get the updated tune to everyone they owed. So unless you go full standalone (Motec, Haltech, etc = $$$) that'll play nice with CANBUS, you're out of luck when it comes to anything beyond a K16. Think about where the ME7 cars with respect to tuning were roughly 5-7 years ago - that's about where the P1 cars are now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt b Posted November 20, 2015 Report Share Posted November 20, 2015 Nice thread, cool car! Nice to see back at it Hussein, I was worried that the Xr had turned you off modding for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laird Posted November 20, 2015 Report Share Posted November 20, 2015 " Perhaps in a few years I will change my mind, however, this is my DD and I'm not going to get carried away with it like the XR, really" Someone should pin this line for future reference, it will look great next to something like... "Just used the Haldex and AWD stuff from the XR, I had to cut, weld, machine, fabricate, invent, a couple of things...... " Looks great. I wanted the Avanti wheels for my S60R but the tire shop said they wouldn't clear the calipers. Right! I ended up with the Drag DR67 which resemble those a lot.

Ghost Shadow Posted November 20, 2015 Report Share Posted November 20, 2015 H, are you going to remove and retint the rear glass. 3pc tint looks hideous. Also question about the front brakes, are the bleeders supposed to be on the bottom or the top? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
