Ill post he pics later. Carburators are off, being cleaned and tuned. In the meanwhile Im taking it very slowly to replace the fluids.
Next week the bike will be back together again and -hopefully- run even better than before. The carbs were completely out of sync, and well, as theyre now tuned slightly richer and synced properly... god dam I cant wait.
Car is currently getting a new turbo, 1000cc injectors, manifold spacers, STi block (2005 Spec C) and a few other (mainly reliability) things. The mechanic estimates it'll be making roughly 230-240kw at the wheels from the 160 I had before this after it gets tuned for 98RON. If I get a flex fuel sensor I can run E85 later which should give me more (maybe another 20-30kw) again.
This is only the small stuff I'm getting put on the car:
(At first glance I thought they were put in a deep fryer)
Just a little clogged:
Cause of this frigging thing it was an absolute nightmare to do a cold start with my bike, turns out that it was completely set at the wrong degree causing the timing to screw up completely when cold.

Will make decent power, i assume your running a haltech system if flex fuel?

I would have done the ecu later but other than that I concur, correct order!
Awesome carb setup Johan!
Bought some old wheels back, threw on some spare coilovers I had, engine cleanup next then it's done! (ignore the wheels being off the silver car, had to use the lugs from it for the green one until my new locking ones arrive!)
I also snagged a GTI air dam for this one, hopefully getting it painted this week.(I have new turn signals too don't worry!)

Exactly haha
And I don't know why people expecting Jimmy's volvo to go faster from 20 to 100km/h considering it's decades old and heavy as hell? The fact it's still running to this day is an achievement!
I dont see how all you expect these cars to be so much heavier and slower than all other cars in it's size lol.
this car weighs: 1450kg, just as much as a Bmw e46,
This car original comes with 135 or 165bhp, the bmw got the same kind of power figures on some of it's engine options, also lower, going as low as about 105bhp.
And besides, these cars run forever. his has gone 390k kms, mine is rust free and mint condition (besides the neglected engine lol my fault) gone 280k kms, My old 740 had over 500k kms on it and was still doing ok
