Lots to fit

[stainesy]

came into abit of money today and i have already bought loads off the internet for my T-5R.

so far have bought
black performance mesh grill.
drilled and groved brake discs and performance pads all round.
K&N air filter.
new tyres.
am hopefully buying a 7 seat conversion this weekend. just waiting for an email.

hhhhhmmmmmmm what els should i get????

was thinking about geting some black wind deflectors for the windows but not sure what it will look like

[t5 pete]

If you have about £200 quid spare i would get the reverse flow intercooler piping kit i have a foto of it in my profile other than that if you dont have a stainless steel exhaust get one they sound brill and last forever or fit a sub (i could go on forever its easy to spend money)

[t5 pete]

p.s. invite me next time you rob a bank ha ha

[irf]

which performance pads and discs? just interested.

[cookie]

TBH I'd worry about getting car mechanically A1 b4 dicking about with arty farty bits. and open a bank account, put some money in it for future repairs.maintance

[Rob_ioClean]

I think reverse flow intercooler piping is pretty pointless, Had it on my 850, made no difference tbh.

[stainesy]

oh theres plenty of money left for saving acount.

i got mintex brakes. any good?

well i have replaced so far
radiator
plugs
leads
boost pipes
cv joints
gearbox oil
engine oil and filter
just got brakes and air filter.
going to get new belt that powers power steering pump and all other bits.

anything els you can think of mechanical wise?

[stephenevans99]

With the darker evenings on the doorstep....I'd definately be buying a nice HID kit. Next the the RICA, it was the best thing I ever did to my T5.

[irf]

which mintex? 1144, 1155? sure there's others.

RIP i can only comment on my car, but it definetly DID make a difference to how the turbo spooled.

also, which gearbox oil did you go for? i think these cars are quite specific in what they need.

as for more upgrades, the list is endless.

dont no what mintex they are just no they are mintex drilled and grooved brake discs and pads to fit a volvo 850 T-5R

i used DEX 3 in my gearbox

[t5 pete]

it just shortens the air feed also it will help when running more power

[jonno12]

ive got the same pete where did you get the chrome one from on urs

[t5 pete]

forgot about the 304 (rica) that would be a deff at £150

[t5 pete]

I got the rip from ipd they dont make much of a difference in power but are hell of a lot better for the air feed also if you have the rica or other power mod its well worth it

[jonno12]

looks good mine s in the black paint looks a bit crap and was looking for the chrome one

[t5 pete]

You could go down to you local fabrication of metal work place and have a pipe made up for you it would be hell of alot cheaper the only difference between the two is that the kit i have is a larger bore

[jonno12]

oh right it is a bit pricey i was just looking

[irf]

dont no what mintex they are just no they are mintex drilled and grooved brake discs and pads to fit a volvo 850 T-5R

i used DEX 3 in my gearbox

is it the mintex stuff you get on ebay?

tbh i haven't heard anythin about these, good or bad, but i would personally avoid. i doubt they're gonna be any better then standard.

if it was me, i'd get standard volvo discs and some good pads. when i say good i mean at the very least, some ferodo ds2500s. there's better out there but more expensive so doubt there'd be many people interested.

[t5 pete]

Mintex are a good make and have been around for a while the discs will be better but only better under hard use the grooves help water get away also stops brake glaze and the drilled holes help the heat get away faster but you will have to be hammering your brakes to achive this

[stainesy]

yep my car get hammered daily LOL

and yeah i had mintex on my calibra and they were realy good brakes. they made alot of diferance in getting rid of brake fade.
i get alot of brake fade on my t-5R at the mo its scarey so i thought it a good idea to get some anti fade brakes LOL

[irf]

i can only advise what i know. good luck:smile:

[stainesy]

how easy is it to change 850 pads? iv done loadsa brakes in my time mainly vauxhalls. never done volvo tho. are they just as strait forward an vauxhall or are they fiddly buggers that need special tools?

[t5 pete]

Very easy to do all you have to remember is when you are pushing the pot (piston) back to undew the niple for the fluid to come out other wise if you dont you will be putting back pressure on the abs unit which isnt good

[t5 pete]

and no special tool required

[cameron]

Nah they are really easy, Put it this way i had never changed pads or even disks before and i done the lot, front and back in 1hr 30 minutes, not bad i thought for a first timer, i have Mintex front and rears on mine also, although not the drilled and grooved ones, they seem to be pretty good, up until now.

The drilled and grooved brake system was my next upgrade. or maybe some 302's, we will just have to wait and see what the job front does.

[stainesy]

just bought myself a poly upper engine mount bush off partsforvolvos to.
so on the volvos its best to bleed the brakes after changing pads then?

[t5 pete]

no need to bleed the brakes the only thing you have to do is when your pushing the pot back realise the nipple and as soon as you stop pushing the pot tighten it up straight away so no air can get in

[PNuT]

brake wise you should have upgraded to 302's while you were buying discs....

[stainesy]

brake wise you should have upgraded to 302's while you were buying discs....

why whats the diferance?

[cameron]

More surface area so im guessing better stopping power ?

ok so on that diy cold air thingy what happens if he drives through a deep puddle?

i had a sealed cold air feed like that on my last calibra and i got stuck and had to drive through deep water and it foooked my car beyond repair. so i aint gona make the mistake of puting a sealed intake at the bottom of my car again

[jonno12]

i suppose itd be ok if you put the intake in the back of the grill but seems like an ass ache

[PNuT]

why whats the diferance?

bigger discs

[stainesy]

bigger discs

dont i need bigger calipers for that?

[LesRED850R]

dont i need bigger calipers for that?
no just caliper brkts and longer hoses , or go for s60R discs and Porsche red calipers [ look at IPD USA site ]

[irf]

use the same calipers. you need caliper carriers to space the caliper out.

the main benefit as far as i know is not so much stopping power as an increase in resistance to fade.

[crispy]

Stainesy my dear boy you keep asking questions regarding your 850 but in all honesty how many times have you actually listened?

You asked about what you should buy for your car next but yet again are you actually going to take any advice on what to buy?I think not.

Irf has giving you some valid point regarding brakes but instead your going to buy some ****ty drilled and grooved with even more ****ty mintex pads(to which you have no idea what compound they are.)

Have you managed to get your car running correctly yet?

You also say you have come into some money?It would help if you actually stated on how much you was intending to spend on your 850.

Can I ask what tyres you have just got fitted?How is your suspension?

A really GOOD starting point would be to get your car running correctly first before modding it.

[PNuT]

whats wrong with asking 15 million volvo related questions a week?

ok mate if you had read the thread proply you would have read that i have already bought some brakes not that i was asking what to get. there was no mention of me asking witch brakes to get.
also if you had been keeping up with the topics on here you would have read ages ago that my car has been sorted and is runnimng perfect. there is nothing at all rong with it now.
and i have bought koni suspension to fit to the rear and have them in my boot.

so i dont no about anybody els but who does that make the idiot?

so what is an infomation website for volvo,s about if its not learning about volvo,s?

[t5 pete]

What idiot buys Koni suspension only for the rear??what about the front??

So I take it that you managed to get your steering sorted??

Yes I did read that you have already bought your brakes but what is more shocking is that you have now idea to whether there any good or not

Back to my other question

What tyres have you just had fitted??

[PNuT]

dont talk to me about tyres

[crispy]

Back to my other question

What tyres have you just had fitted??

the idiots that buy koni just for the rear are ones that have buggered shoxs at the back and managed to get a set of koni shoxs and springs for less than it would have cost to get standeres. also wanted to lower the rear to mach the front as it sits high at the back.
i no mintex brakes are good on vauxhalls as i have had them before i was asking if they are any good for volvo,s as volvo,s are alot heavyer.
and yes steering is fine just a winy powered steering pump that aint gona cost alot to get sorted and am doing next week.

the tyres i got are avon i get them cheap from a mate that works in a tyre place in bletchley.

so is there anything els you want to pic at or are you done now?

[crispy]

215/40/17 £400

215/40/17 lol go away small boy

as iv said before this is my first volvo and auto and i came on here to learn about it and iv learnt loads and still learning. what is it your job to pic at people coz they dont have the same noledge as you or sumit?

If you wanna come and give me the £200+ for new tyres then i'll change them over!

Then again that would mean you wouldnt have anything else to point out about my car and you'd have to find someone else to spread your endless knowledge onto.
