This is awesome!
Great work! Looking forward to seeing more pics.
As far as I know this is a dealer only job with phase 1 70's.
I had to arrange to bring my car over 100 miles to the nearest dealership in order to get a new key, fob and then get them coded to...
Yes, those are the ones Jon.
The large 52.5 offset meant that they wouldn't go on without spacers though, as they hitting the shocks.
I'm running 15mm spacers.
They look great on it!
My Jag wheels were a right nightmare to get on.
Did you have to use spacers?
Great work!
Not a performance mod, but I was constantly getting it in the ear from my fiance, because she was constantly getting it in the ear from the straight through exhaust.
She bloody hates it, but I...
Just checked my tyres again to make sure. They are actually 225 40 18 :confused:
So yeah, something narrower should definitely help to prevent rub.
205 45 18
I've run 8 x 18 on two consecutive V70 phase 1's.
Of course it's mostly down to offset (can't remember exactly what way mine are sitting now) but on both cars I get a tiny bit of wheel rub on full...

Are you dry sumping it?
That looks great. Fair play to you for having a go at wrapping it, I certainly wouldn't have the patience it.
I've had similar experience with black spraying a chrome grille. Even though i sanded...
Looking forward to this :)
Here's a link to the time I did it.

Made my own crank lock tool, but as you'll find from reading the thread,...
Strange, the 18"s look small, and the 19"s look MASSIVE!
Do they poke much?
Sounds fantastic! Will be in touch soon!
Incidentally she'll be inheriting the straight through exhaust from the old Volvo.
It's one of the best diesel exhaust notes I've ever heard. People are...
Good advice! How much will a remap cost and where can I get it done?
I just happen to have a spare ECU now as well.
That was the plan for the old one, but modification money was always converted into monthly repair money lol.
My new V70 is 10 times the car that the old one was. The guy who had it before me was...
A sad but inevitable day has arrived. Project Diesel Power has belched her last black cloud.

Are the wheels even transferable?
Is the diameter of the centre bore not slightly narrower on post 200 models?
Thanks.
Here's an interesting article I found on improving the performance of said tweeters.

Do the tweeters which are mounted in the dashboard have inbuilt crossovers, or are the crossover units separate?
I also have this problem.
I just bought those adjusters, so will let you know how it goes as well.
Thanks for the reply Dave.
That's the vibration damping/crank pulley that I've replaced already unfortunately. :S
I'm just reading the last post in that thread on Volvoforum now though.
