As far as I know, the exhaust is all stock! I've never checked the exhaust manifold specifically but based on previous owners I'd imagine it is stock. I have the IPD intake, and removed the upper turbo heat shield, wish I had somewhere to store the hood blanket so I could take that off too... 4 hours ago, tuner4life said: That is impressive! Thanks Jason, my butt dyno had been telling me it would definitely be a mid-6s 0-100 car so it was fun to confirm it 😄 Might be able to get low-6s with my summer tires and a bit of practice... 2 hours ago, BlackT5 said: Come try my IPD ECU 😄 Next time I'm at your place we'll try it out!

washdup Posted February 4, 2019 Report Share Posted February 4, 2019 Sounds great and well done. Must be pulling some G's to get the coolant warning to light up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sventastic Posted August 26, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2019 (edited) Put about 6,000km on the car since I last posted, and it has continued being good to me! A couple weeks ago I replaced both rear wheel bearings and parking brake pads and hardware, along with the final original engine mount - the passenger side one, and trunk struts. It's nice that I've only had to spend about $300 on parts for the last 12,000km of driving... After the mechanical work I spent a day and a half detailing the interior and exterior. I haven't been as lucky with the cosmetic stuff as the mechanical - the clear coat on the rear wing has begun to fail pretty badly, the headliner droop actually came apart at the rear window so it's taped up for the time being, and back in May someone appears to have dropped a bike onto my driver's side rear door and left a nice big dent! That said, those are terribly difficult or expensive fixes, and the car still cleans up like this 🙂 Edited April 10, 2020 by sventastic 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sventastic Posted April 10, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2020 Reupholstered the sagging and flapping headliner in the first week of covid-19 self isolation... It turned out nearly perfect, except that I made a cut in the wrong spot on the sunroof visor, bit of a brain fart but an easy fix for when I get to it! Also replaced the oil cooler hoses to help deal with a persistent oil leak, which I believe was from when I was pulling the engine and forgot to unhook the oil cooler hose from the rad, and it stretched out while hoisting up the engine😅 Did a full detail last week, and then drove in the rain so didn't bother taking pics of the car 😒 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atucker12 Posted April 10, 2020 Report Share Posted April 10, 2020 Wow, stunningly beautiful ride Sventastic! I have a red 850 (unfortunately not an R, nor a manual) and I'm literally using your car as a model for where I'm going cosmetically. Thanks for all the great pictures! Hope you're keeping safe and healthy with everything going on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RBoy8 Posted April 10, 2020 Report Share Posted April 10, 2020 So hot. I love that your DOT spec headlights and turn signals are so shiny. The ones I see are usually pitted and dull now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And thank you, where I live things have been very good with regards to the virus, but we're definitely not out of it quite yet On 4/10/2020 at 6:28 AM, RBoy8 said: So hot.

I was lucky that the previous owner had projector lights installed for quite a while, he owned the car for 120,000km so my dot lights have seen a lot less use! I haven't had too much going on with the car, but I took it on a 1700km road trip this past weekend almost all the way across BC! Replaced my groaning and failing power steering pump just in time, the night before leaving.
