Car #5 Volvo C30 T5

 Car #5 Volvo C30 T5 -  Name: Pauline

Right then, this thing was juicy.

So some background to this one, after getting incredibly bored of driving diesels i wanted to be back in something petrol but this time with a bit of go to it but still okay for the insurance premiums of a young chap (Because it had a Volvo badge instead of its partner in crime the ASBO Ford Focus ST - after-all they share the same platform)

At the time i was still working for this airline but had decided to move in with my grandparents in east Devon for a couple of reasons a) A shorter commute b) to start saving for a house, What better way to save for a house than to buy a 5 cylinder 2.5ltr turbo? Bought from an Author in London somewhere & he gave me his private plate which is still on the car now!

I've only really connected with petrol cars hence the lack of modifications to my previous diesels, so this thing got a couple of bits before i got bored.

Modifications include:

Plasti-Dipped rear bumper for a more aggressive look

A Full Cat-Back custom made 3" stainless steel exhaust system by Tony Kellow. (££££)

Drilled & Grooved Brakes

Uprated driveshafts (known issue on these and Focus ST's)

I might add that this exhaust was absolutely RIDICULOUS and was obnoxiously loud both inside and out, this car also spawned by love for detailing.
