some nice upgrades there, IC looks great
Wheels look fab.
Phase 2 or 3 as they changed to vented in that year on the ph3, as I'm sure you already know..aren't the solid calipers. , just the same as normal 850's and v70's whether awd or 2wd ..?
There's lucky then, solids are readily available if you require them, I'm in the process of replacing the whole of the handbrake system on my Gul as it has become unrelieable sticking on and...

Going to polish up nicely, bit of a strange one though, felt like it was running on 4 cylinders so I went to put in new plugs and the middle one was difficult to get out and when I did it was...
Hi all
Just got my first R yesterday, it’s very tired looking but everything seems to work, well in a fashion took long time to free up rear left wheel.
I rescued it from a farm in north of...
Ohh look, an update, sorry it's just a tiny one. first thing I've done is re route the belt for the supercharger as it was a bit loose after running the engine for a while, so moved the idler pulley...

Happy New Year to all - I have done quite a bit of reassembly over the last 3 months - most of which I have moaned and droned on about on my new project drivetribe channel (linky below).

Are you after front, or rear?
There are many sources to get them from, there's obviously the main dealer for genuine parts, ebay, parts for volvos, euro car parts, gsf car parts, etc. Have a look in the trade members forum...

Second the above comments, I would definitely go for a 215/40 tyre profile however.
Straight fit, may need a small spacer on rear look for 215 or 225 tyre
You might need spacers on the rear as your car is an AWD. Infact, you might need some on the front too or else you'll be rubbing on lock.
