ScottishBrick's 2003 Mystic V70 T5 Manual Wagon

[rogerb]

Not so easy to find in the US.
Shame, I binned two that it had last week.
Plenty getting broken in the UK , so it should not be too hard to find someone who has one.
But I am not convinced they are any better than a T5 one.
I will have to measure one and see.

Could you measure the MAF inlet on your 05?

Hi, mine is an ‘06 so has the newer Euro 4 D5 engine. And has a smaller air box than the earlier D5 as shown in your photo.
It also has the ECU built into the air cleaner lid.

Not my car, but the same setup.

Ew

Seems to be missing something. But easier to change the headlight bulb!

That cover is useless and should always be removed. lol

Still going to play with alternative setups after it’s done being tuned

You bought it for the wheels... don't lie.

The venerable police interceptor wheels.

I got rid of mine even before my wagon came home

Congrats - love the wheels! Subtle indicator to the half dozen or so people who are familiar with these cars that you got the T5!

[dzach71]

Mine never came with those wheels. Mine had the 17 upgrade

Finally!

Full set of LHD e code xenons has assembled itself for this car.



Now I can skip converting the RHD set to US w/high at least for the time being

[R-Pow3R3d]

Are these the set from Skandix?

[ScottishBrick]

Are these the set from Skandix?

No they won't ship.

I tracked these down separately to assemble the set. Pretty much patience and luck.

Does that car have a green cloth interior?

[db130]

LOL, my NA is rocking those wheels now (they came with my T5A).

[GrantCBishop]

No regular tan leather

How is the tuning going

Put non summer tires on it hoping something gets done.

[ScottishBrick]

Guess it's not finished



Much thanks to Dave for the snag and ship

That a rear 22 mm?

[raivis_rsn]

Front

[ScottishBrick]

Front

Nope, rear. 22mm ipd bar

[raivis_rsn]

Ooops. My bad. I thought this is your Pewter's thread. By quick glance It looked like P80 front sway bar.

Did it arrive it good shape? I hoped the bubble envelope wrap would do the trick.

[Wayne T5]

That bar was an absolute steal - well done!

Jfc that was annoying to unwrap. It arrived fine. I'm excited. OG ipd stuff that's not crap is worth putting on. Interesting that the rear bar was once (2005) offered as a stand alone upgrade and now they won't sell it individually "for safety reasons"....

Thanks again

LOL! Glad it was fun to unwrap. I gave it the full monty.

Happy to help!

Is it the same bar that is still offered just not combined with the front?

I would say in geometry alone, yes. FWIW the oem volvo solid 21mm bar is way cheaper and plenty of upgrade for most. Mine just has delaminated from the bushings and while its working fine, the opportunity to snag this vintage ipd rear bar for a pittance could not be passed up.

[thaxman]

The extra mm should help the oversteer, no?

I thought that the iPD sways + struts + Bob Vila mod was pretty neutral. Then I picked up the 05 Mazda6 wagon...
