ok so as most know ive now owned this black t5r for two years or so and its barely moved this last year so it has 118k on the clockive been biulding up some stuff to do my overhaul/upgrades.. so thought id start a thread before i start fitting ect as im sure im going to need advice along the way lol so when i bought the car she was completly standard apart from a pipercross panel filter so i guess we start there with a picture
http://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r24/martybelfastSRI/volvov70008.jpg
so all i done was drove her all be it quick in standard form i started wanting a bit more lol the brakes are terrible and she needed front arms so this was done first and helped a lot..but then i noticed she was poping out of second every now and again mostly on approach to juntions when dropping through gears which gradually became a second gear crunch so with this i parked her up and started to concentrate on what i want the car to become... so into the drive she went with the occasinal squirt round the estate ect.and the buying began well i was sidetraked when bought the s60R didnt last long tho as i preferd to fight with the 850 rather than relax in the 60 so it was sold
http://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r24/martybelfastSRI/DSC02325.jpg
then i started to tinker with few bits in the drive....this is my biggest downfall as ive threatend to biuld a leantoo roof ect over my drive but never actually done it would love the car protected from the elements and would be a great space for working on it ect this list included
clear side repeaters from s70
changed all interior switches to grey from a 70 had to strip and rebiuld them all
BSR induction kit and surround
ALPINE cde-103bt head unit with ipod still need a pc9-414 cable to plug in the volvo subwoofer
850R front and rear seats
genuine volvo 850 strut brace
quick shift kit
new areial mast
sourced my missing rear yellow 850 carpet mat
and purchased some black rubber volvo trays
changed some interior bulbs to led type
also bought a 850R rear spoiler from america sourced on volvospeed forums
fitted s70 roof strips they have biut in water stops on the screen dosent come in driver window lol
s60 washer jets better spray pattern
i also masked off recoloured all my grey bumper and door strips some pictures off this procedure lol aslo changed a couple of door strips as they where slightly out of shape and always caught my eye lol

http://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r24/martybelfastSRI/DSC00134.jpg
the more eagle eyed will noticed i also stared playing with the headlights and indicators blacked out some of the reflector in the headlights removed the headlight wipers as they are a pain always staining my bonnet in the sun when washing the screen with the wipers lol when this was done indicators looked to bright so started experimenting with these which resulted in a blackish outline by spray the gap round the lense i think it looks good dont know if its just because the car is black or what but the modern volvos have this now lol so isnt out of place
http://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r24/martybelfastSRI/DSC00141.jpg
http://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r24/martybelfastSRI/DSC00174.jpg
http://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r24/martybelfastSRI/DSC00173.jpg
this is the end result also done my grill black with outer chrome lip tried all black didnt like it
http://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r24/martybelfastSRI/DSC00170.jpg
heres it all black
http://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r24/martybelfastSRI/IMG_0215.jpg
so its last outing was some pics with my freinds s70R he is nordicR on here

http://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r24/martybelfastSRI/DSC00153.jpg
so its now in the drive again and has been neglected a bit but will easy turn round agin with some love ect since then i have now sourced
an m59 and shafts
new 850R sachs clutch
05 16t with angled 3" out
me7 mani
H&R lowering springs
a v70 awd 3" angled downpipe
white injectors
brackets from dallhousie for front megane 225 fourpots and rear brackets for porschse boxster fourpot rears
got stainless braided lines and some rbf brakefluid for a flush
new gtx castrol for engine and some service bits going to full stage 0 her inc new leads
s70 handles to be coloured coded black
new avon zv5s
nice reg number for her too WIJ 188
bought some wheel nut covers in black chrome effect
and literally as soon as the weather allows im getting stuck in so still to source i need
megane 225 front callipers
boxster rear callipers
cat back system >have this priced up will be powerflow i think< outward rolled tip
some intercooler reverse piping will make it if i have too
ecu map undecided but fancy turbotuner
biggest problem i face ist that the m59 speedo runs of abs sensors on my m56 its cable driven kerryt5r has told me the boxes can be split and front casings changed so as the m59 will run a cable tho ive seen some stuff by merc and pedro on changing clocks to run sensor driven speedo???? so need some advice on this matter and any recomendations on upgrades will be great! so this is the start of my motivation the get the car sorted for summer for sure!

to be honest probably would do it different next time use a sponge and thin this stuff down its very thick if you use a brush go over with a sponge straight after massage it in takes few coats on the bumpers but drys out exellent all greys the exact same colour looks great its sat for a year still looks great apparently this stuff is the best

also got some leather colour restorer off the bay listed as volvo grey so set about hitting the seats with that some before and after shots worked a treat my passenger seat is worst as my interior was from a left hooker maybe will change this seat at some point due to the cracks on the leather

on a good note had another check at my radio problem and my permanent live is down which has confused me as the original head unit work yesterday will crack this tomorrow....also going to change the power steering fluid..
not fussed on coolant at the min as i assume it will need drained for the m59 and new clutch going in so needless to say she is purring like a cat lol more updates tomorrow!

Monday 30th September 2013, 20:21
so done another bit today my handbake just stopped working not quite sure when think only one wheel was holding when she was parked so time to investagate ....pulled of one of my rear discs to see what was going on in there was shocked by what i found lol ......not a drop of pad compound!
http://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r24/martybelfastSRI/SAM_0692_zps0b5c7b62.jpg (http://s140.photobucket.com/user/martybelfastSRI/media/SAM_0692_zps0b5c7b62.jpg.html)
so needless to say phoned the local motor factor orderd some shoes had to wait a few hours on them coming in
then got stuck in changing them nice write up on voc that helped as it was my first time doing them
new pads on and adjuster cleaned and oiled for adjustment
http://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r24/martybelfastSRI/SAM_0693_zps66680e8f.jpg (http://s140.photobucket.com/user/martybelfastSRI/media/SAM_0693_zps66680e8f.jpg.html)
old shoes vrs the new shoes no wonder handbrake wasnt working lol

once id done this was getting kinda dark and decided to pull her out give her a wash and now the handbrake is back to perfection........couple of shots

oh on another note may be of use to others as mentioned hate that she is out in the elements and wanted to do a carport ect may have found the perfect solution orderd this from the bay looks quite good and great price at the minute £139 down from £199 so didnt hesitate and bought one will do a thread on it when it arrives but should protect her nicely

the perfect width for my drive and should have plenty of room round the car get an outdoor tube light and it might even hold heat lol..........think il lay some cheap lino and carpet tiles for the tyre tracks should be well worth the money!

Things have probley changed but many years ago we had a bad luk clutch for a 240 weather they were a bad batch I dont know but after 2 luk clutches only the sachs solved the problem ever since ive used sachs as I said its a personal opinion but these days every item like u said seem to be made by the same companys just branded different

Clutch orderd today with jammie over at pfv New kit with release bearing s40 t5 one piece manifold gasket and turbo to manifold gasket also orders up cat back with Graeme and soon as it all is here car is going to have all fitted Inc an m59
On the subject of the clutch these seem to be getting quite hard to source must be a sign of the 850 ageing lol does an s70R run the same kit as the 850R?

martybelfastt5
Tuesday 18th February 2014, 20:52

martybelfastt5
Tuesday 18th February 2014, 22:25
well spoted jt .........just checked gasket with turbo and it dosent match mine has 3" housing this is for 2.5 housing has four bolt holes my turbo and downpipe only have three so am i right to assume i dont need one??? lol this is the housing and downpipe pattern

thats why I questioned it, but wouldnt want to over rule someone in the know!:)
the gasket looks more like it goes between the turbo and manifold,not the downpipe???

martybelfastt5
Tuesday 18th February 2014, 22:39
makes sense......................il stop talking now:uglyhamme

but even checking it there on the s60R manifold im not sure but my volvo man will have the last say

I dont use a gasket for either option:)

p fandango
Tuesday 18th February 2014, 23:34
yes that gasket goes between the manifold & the turbo. You do know the coolant pipes will need "adjusting" to fit as the they are in a slightly different place on me7 cars compared to 850's

martybelfastt5
Wednesday 19th February 2014, 00:36
yes aware of this pedro ........must check the turbo think it came with some lines but should be too hard to sort

Wednesday 19th February 2014, 01:22
My KKK24 came with a gasket too manifold but all of my TD series did not.so maybe it has something to do with the exh manifold?

hi martin, yes I did get it for the manifold to turbo connection where it should be fine. sorry if I had a confused moment?

il get some pics of her mid work ect but should be back on the road whitin the next couple of weeks
on another note i also bought myself this little bad boy lol

now might have jumped the gun a bit on this as its a rotary polisher and i should have bought a dual action polisher/ D.A as the D.A is basically idiot proof lol this machine can very easily leave swirls/holagrams and burn paint ect so it will be slow going till i get a good method and am confident using it but i intend of giving my car a great finish that can only be achvied trough machine polishing ect so i will learn lol

Tailpipe choice is perfect, all these outwardly rolled pipes appearing.. :)

martybelfastt5
Saturday 31st May 2014, 11:44
mate have the stuff to put the brembos front and back would have liked 17s in the pegs but 18s will suffice.........they will also be refurbed in anthricite/grey just hoping i get away with the 40 profile tyres as the conti sports are as good as new on them might need to drop to 35 tho as it wont be a daily drive i dont mind sacrificing a bit of comfort as some of the 850s on 18s ive researced look awsome

martybelfastt5
Monday 23rd June 2014, 21:54

Tuesday 24th June 2014, 00:11
I spent many years on a DA before moving to a rotary. Need to use lots of lube & not press to hard or run too fast. I spread on the lowest speed & do 1 or 2 passes on each.
Buy some 3M tape & tape up your edges.
Unlike the DA method where you might go fwd & back in overlapping straight lines - I tend to sweep back and forth, raising & lowering my back hand, much like a floor polisher (if you've ever used one) - so that the top & bottom edge of the pad moves the head for you.

prep the pad before you start with some dilute QD. I spritz the pad & run it slow speed against my hand.

Between passes I spritz the area being worked with the dilute QD (1 in 10 is plenty).

Saturday 28th June 2014, 13:28
wheels are back and to be honest im little upset as the inside some stuff was just painted over but the face finish is great and they wernt a fortune to have done so cant complian for now lol my exhaust is also sitting waiting to be fitted but my volvo man has a car on the ramp til mon night ...aahh:parhmph: so will have to wait til then oh heres my wheels

Friday 15th August 2014, 20:35
ok small update on this all parts are fitted as some will know i have a gearbox /clutch noise when pedal released
the wheels are on and rubbing the inner arches slighty:doh:
the exhaust has been a pure pain in the ass but is on and quiet ect this is down to the downpipe to cat back join pieces they are belled out and i cant find a clip to suit for the life of me have spent maybe 80 quid on ones ive binned or cut up to try and resolve it temporarily i have done so successfully today
had to put on two 5 mil spacers on the rear was rubbing ever so slighty now not
cleaned the headcloth made an inpressive difference
the wheel alignment needs set as do the headlights then a brake fluid change then it will be motd
now to the bad bit the car has been fustrating me so much i think ive had enough and may well sell the car when its motd im by no means turning my back on volvo but think im done with the 850 sad day could change my mind but at this minute in time dont see that happening
on performance it dosent feel as quick to me as it should i will investagate this before i sell a picture of how she sits below including the melting exhaust joint i cant sort

ok so time for an update and yes i had a wobble and considerd selling the car but it soon passed and i apoligised to the the car lol

im warming to the 18s and nearly went for 17" pro race 1.2s rather than replace the tyres on the pegs but the woman leon will need tyres soon and they are the same size as the contis on the pegs so il buy 225 35 18 toyo proxes fit the contis on her car

Looking great Martin, thats a fine 850 :) Have you thought about painting the trim rather than treating it with Wurths? I reckon it'd look smart, a bit S70ish yes, but still smart.

thanks pal wouldnt even consider colour coding it to be honest andys car is a good example of how it can look good but love the 850 how the trim breaks the colour and matches the wheels on a t5r

Yep, Andy's car is a peach. Got to love the classic appeal of the std car too though.
