BT's latest phase

[p fandango]

Hill starts might be abit tricky with the handbrake in the boot, lol...
it'll never stay on a hill because the handbrakes not connected to anything lol

[p fandango]

brake bias lever fitted, already got the pipe done from the master cylinder (except the securing clips), so just got to connect to the rear brake line & she should have brakes lol

the bespoke adjustable top mounts and the AP's are due this week!!
oh crap, thats alot of cash!! lol

then i need to order the other bits we spoke about

i defo need pics of them top mounts, i've even got the money at the minute lol

& you'll have to let us know about the price for your other bits as i haven't got most of them myself yet lol

[volvo]

i thought what i saw JT WAS your shopping list....clearly not! Oh and now i see what you mean about mr Fandango's car being 'really stripped' ....lol is that your interior mate...no carpet etc etc lol.....i just saw a pic a few posts back of the brake lever, and all those flick switches....does it fly? worth driving to Cov just to see that man....that must be 1 lighter volvo!

[volvo]

JT do you have that snapshot of the sad looking R you saw in its final hours on saturday?

she's not even got a dashboard lol. She ran a 14.557 before, & now had 322kg removed so i hope she won't hang around lol. Your more than welcome to pop in when your about, i'll make sure i've got some fuel so i can get her running for you

I think you need to read the whole thread just to see how handy pedro is with an angle grinder. :)

claymore...yes i have read it.....still dont want him near my car whith one in his angle.....accidents do happen and his 'trigger finger' may just slip and he may thinks he is back in HIS car!!!!!

[T4Rick]

Hi Pedro what did you do to blank the pipe off from the carbon canister to the petrol tank the big long pipe that runs under the car?

[volvo]

oh yes....sad day it was....not for you though JT, it was just like Santa had left you your pressies early this year!

This side rear quater glass failed to come out (as you can see, ooops!) but the other side is out and very much available....

[p fandango]

Hi Pedro what did you do to blank the pipe off from the carbon canister to the petrol tank the big long pipe that runs under the car?
i'll be honest say i've got no idea, can't even remember bunging any up (i'll have to look into that lol)

[p fandango]

funny you should say that, i used to have a carbon fibre ring which i always used to wear. Finished a grinding session on BT & washing my hands & noticed quite alot of circular cut mark on the ring lol, got a bit too close to my fingers for comfy (not that i noticed while i was doing it lol)

[jardon]

the bespoke adjustable top mounts and the AP's are due this week!!

Sounds interesting JT - who is making you the top mounts? I've got adjustable camber on my coilovers so not much use to me but pretty sure there are folk who would find that handy. Nice one.

it just decreases the braking pressure on the rear. Tbh as i'm only running 302's on the front i don't really need it, but as i'm messing with the brake pipework anyway i thought i might as well

just gives me a bit more options to set her up how i drive

I'm guessing this not an option if you run with ABS - or does the ecu still have some ABS ability if the braking bias is altered? Purely academic from my road car perspective of course. Could you increase bias to the rear (not that I'm suggesting you should)?

i can't see why it shouldn't be compatible with ABS, i know on the older 850 system the rear braking is done with one pipe from the pump (& not even sure if ABS stops rear's locking) so the valve can still be installed, & as i don't believe it measures the actual pressure in the line the ECU shouldn't know any different. No i can't increase the bias over the standard pressure, you could install another valve in the front brake line to achieve the same effect, even then you could still use with ABS but have to place the valve between the master cylinder & the ABS pump before the lines are split for left & right

Makes sense if line pressure isn't measured. I guess if you fit better brakes to the front you increase forward weight transfer when braking and need to reduce braking force at the rear (as the rear is now lighter)?

Naah, was looking for some unrelated info using a picture search and saw the big tosser number plate and had a look. Had nice wheels on it back then tho.
:rice:

[BlackBeast]

tbh i didn't look to hard into the different steering rack, what i did in the end was remove the Volvo mechanical power steering pump & fitted a 5hitroen electric pump in the boot. I've wired it thru a switch so can switch turn the power steering off when i want

http://i791.photobucket.com/albums/yy196/pedro-fandango/Volvo/mine/BT/Boot/33782_1591598105769_1110365021_1660659_977483_n.jp g

Guessing the pump is off a Saxo? They have an extremely light wheel, you can turn the steering wheel while the car is stationary with your little finger, plus it feels way over assisted when driving and doesn't give any feedback. But that's on a Saxo.

Impressions of it on a light Volvo?

i haven't put any fluid in the system yet. I've wired the pump thru a switch so can turn it off whenever i want. Even without the pump the steering isn't too bad tbh so do think it'll be off most of the time

the quick release i got off ebay LINK (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/QUICK-RELEASE-SNAP-OFF-STEERING-WHEEL-HUB-BOSS-KIT-/170679955056?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item27bd516e70#ht_3677wt_754), you'll need to use it with an aftermarket wheel & Momo hub. I wouldn't recommend using it on a road car a the indicator & wiper stalks are quite a way from the wheel & a pain reach

it does mean the quick release/ adjustment doesnt work anymore, but once in place, do you really need it???

i'm going to let others have a drive so do want it still adjustable. The Momo boss is very deep so get that cut down or a special made if there are issues, i don't mind it as i like the wheel close but see how others get on

even tho there was fuel in the rail i'm sure she's ran out again, i'm curious to how the standard map behaves with the VXR's so might get some fuel later. I'll defo get a vid for you when i do fire her up ;)

i remember it was only as far back as the engine bay, certainly didn't take it all the way back to the tank. I seem to remember a clear valve which i left connected & cut the pipe after it, but i've got a naff memory & been on the Jacques so the valve may not exist lol

got one of the holes done for the coolant before i managed to blunt the cutter, so mocked up most of the pipe. You can see the attempt at cutting where the second pipes going to go.

i've got the AVC-R, a very good bit of kit. Yeh you have to leave the wires plugged in to keep the ECU happy, but all the pipes can be took off & just run the MBC/EBC direct

an update for you Rick, mate of mines had to rewire his speedo because he's changed to a later box. All he did was remove the 2 wires from the old speed sensor mounted on the gearbox, & splice them both into a ABS speed sensor mounted on the wheel hub (also got 2 wires). You'll need a multi-meter to make sure you connect both earths, & both the signal wires together as it won't like them getting mixed up. Already had his car running & said the speedo worked fine

Ok mate lol

[p fandango]

been shopping. Ordered new rear brake discs & pads (already got fronts), some more silicone joints to carry on with the radiator pipes, & all the bits for a JT spec fuel system :)

[p fandango]

perspex ordered for the remaining windows as well, annoyingly i found out once i'd paid the company is only 5minutes down the road so could of saved £20 postage. According to my list all i need to finish BT now is a new windscreen & more alloy pipes for the radiator

[T4Rick]

And the speed sensor lol

the goodies are turning up, fuel swirl pot & some more silicone joints for the rad pipes turned up today. Got a failed delivery note which i think is the fuel pump mount, perspex is coming tomorrow as well. Also ordered my UR racing chassis braces which will take about 4-6 weeks. Flywheel & a pair of new front hubs are in the engineering shop. Next job is to book her in for a new screen while i'm off work & get some of the bits fitted lol

theirs no panic mate, you stay nice & comfy (i'm sure Sam will be of more help anyway lmao). Bottom 2 are outputs to pumps, very top has got to be primary pump into the pot, so just the 2 top ones on the side i'm not sure about (guessing one is an input from the fuel rail return, not sure which lol)

I erase my codes last night which was a good thing,secondly one thing that really worrys me is the abs set up.There are new regs coming in from jan 2012 apprently which and im guessing that they will test to see if the abs is working or not and they will no if the car was surpose to have abs or not,where would i stand on that level if it was removed completley?

it really doesn't depend on the regs that are being brought in. I'd of thought the regs would come in for cars made after the start date (ie jan 2012) as our cars currently confirm. Even if the regs are back-dated there are still ways around it ;)

New target to get her on the strip is march for my birthday, but want her on the road way before then so i can get used to her again

Carnt remember lol but what do you do with the remainder of the abs wires?
Splice the 2 wires the gearbox sensor into the wheel speed sensor thats bolted to the wheel hub. Cut and bin the unused wires, that's all i did

[T4Rick]

Gearbox sensor,do you meaning crank sensor?do you have any pics of the set up.

[Volvostorm]

Look at your diff from underneath, you will see the speedo pick-up, its just above the longer drive shaft.

Remove the plug, leave the sensor in the 'box, and splice into the ABS loom, on my car, the speedo sensor is a red 2 pin plug, I don't think it matters which way around the wire go.

Hi mate i have the manual box gearbox lol and believe it or not ive never seen a sensor on the back of the box lol.I do have a red 2 pin connector looming over the gearbox though not plugged into anything lol

[Volvostorm]

What age is yours?

[T4Rick]

My car is a N plate but the engine and box is a 97 model.

Your speedo is already fed from the ABS sensor, its only the early cars that had the sensor in the 'box.

Hi Paul im not sure where i stand mate can it be converted so i dont have abs lol

You could, but I would say you would need an early gearbox.

Why don't you want the ABS?

[T4Rick]

Its just another thing to go wrong lol.I will have alook tomorrow to see if i do have one,if not i may be able to fit one

[Volvostorm]

Apart from a dry solder joint in the ECU, they don't really go wrong.

[T4Rick]

I do have a light on Paul it wasnt there before i did the engine conversion but now it is lol and the loom is a 95

[Volvostorm]

Your best bet is read the DTC codes, it will either have a box behind the O/S headlight with a jumper wire, or an OBD port inside the car.

Sorry I can't be more help.

The ABS system will have a special sequence of warning lights when the ignition is switched on to indicate that the system is functioning correctly. That is tested for the MOT. The ABS as such is not tested. So if, as a result of your ABS failure the warning lights show an incorrect indication, then that will result in an MOT failure. - MOTT

just find the oil pressure warning light wire and wire the abs light in to that. abs light on with the ignition and off when the engine is running. did it on an old 309 gti before and it passed.

started fitting the suspension, but need to get some spring compressors so could only fit the rear shocks & rear spring cup. Lowered it back down with no spring in for now, i want to keep that sort of height lol

You dont need to compress the springs for the rear's just undo the top of the strut and you can pull the swing arm down enough to get the spring in and then put a jack under the bottom mount and jack the strut back in, i did this yesterday on the mrs car and it worked :)

yeh the standard springs were soft enough to compress with pipe pliers & cable ties to get it out, but the new springs are harder & got the bigger collar to go over. Must admit i didn't try forcing the arm down just let gravity do its bit, might try again later.

When you say "top of the strut" i guess you mean of the shock, i assume top of the spring just sits in the collar as it just fell out (with a bit of force lol)

[Jamest5r]

Yeah that's what i mean the shock lol, the spring just sit's in the top and yes they will just fall out, if you've got someone else there get them to stand on the swing arm that usually gets it low enough :)

[T4Rick]

Looks nice mate

[Shadow]

i wouldn't leave it like that for too long sitting like that you might damage the shocks as they have been bottomed out and you haven't got any bump stops fitted.

[p fandango]

i've already bought some spring compressors from Screwfix, just got to pick them up tomorrow then hopefully get the springs fitted in the afternoon. I am serious about trying to get it that low, & i've done a little mod to give about 2" more shock travel before bottoming out than on a normal T-5
