Cheers TC. Yep sure has tested my patience over the last few days, I wreckon all in close to 40 hours spent since saturday and its time off I had planned for other things but ho hum! Needs must and it had to be done pre Sunday for the dyno as I really didnt like the idea of running the D5.
Everything aside, having not driven it for a while or at least "quickly" it sure as hell put a smile on my face today. Makes it all worthwhile :eclipsee_
Couple of shots from earlier on one of the many test runs. All thats left is to polish her up.

Glad it's sorted Fella :)
Thought you were an ER driver?
Surely they teach you about obstructing yellow boxes?! :lol:
Awesome news glad it's all done pal.
On another note have you corrected the front springs we found last time.
Yes mate all sorted and what a bugger too, everything seized, I think ill be looking to replace the setup later in the year anyhow.
Today well final proving and it all seems OK now thank goodness.
Took it for a final spin, got back washed and polished (quickly it was chuffing cold!) and parked until Sunday.
Dug out the old HLM dyno from previous ownership and poor running, any improvement will be a bonus :)
Also found best 1/4 mile slip from last year, this years target to beat!

Got the koni adjustable coming off my car mate good condition with ebich springs only got about 7k on them if your interested
Oh crap... These be for an estate, right?
Not so sure they'd fit the S70 :(
7k shocks and springs did someone say? If they'll fit an 850 T5 and they are a potential bargain then drop me a PM price too :)
Mine is on original 20 year old shocks/springs with 139k miles, could be time for a refresh...
When's the big day when we get the latest test results? :o
Well apart from a niggle as always with volvos but swiftly resolved with a bolt the cars pretty healthy. Blitz showed peak boost on dyno at 1.1 bar

Great news, sounds about right for a good condition car running that amount of boost :)
It was a good morning everyone seem to make decent power, especially Martin, Emlyn and Chris
