Now finally I've got it aligned correctly for fast road. Makes such a difference when you've put those Eibach lowering springs on!!
...
All links & bushes done at same time, along with new OEM front ARB and IPD rear set up (ARB, camber bushes and toe bars).

Recently finished a chassis / suspension overhaul. Originally went with OEM springs, but had a farce with Volvo as the new rear springs (right) were almost 1.5 inches longer than the originals...
Anyone know how to link pictures from Google drive so you can actually see them on the thread? :ashamed:
Finally Sorted :doh:
Hey folks,
Long time since I posted on here, hope you're all well!
This is my S60R I've had now for around 12 months, formerly of Sponge & st etienne - some of you may remember?
Great car...
Cool cool.... I think the engine looks pretty sick so definitely gives a good basis for a fab looking engine bay!!
The guy who I sold the car unfortunately sold it to some guy who wasn't...
Could you take the aluminium intake off..... grind the 3 stupid plastic cover fixing lugs off and all the casting texture and polish it? It was the next thing on my list before I sold the car and...
Keep it Granddad red!!! Ultimate sleeper ;)
Go mad!!!!

This is amazing!!! When I first saw this thread, I thought you might have acquired my old car!!! I know a lot of people who mess with these engines in the VW crowd, and the idea was to turn it into a...
It's all fine Bones.... even with the ABS playing up, my AP Racing brakes are sufficient ;) Just really annoying at slow speeds sometimes when it has a hissy fit!
I have the official Volvo...
Have you tried putting your thumb over the dipstick tube? If there is any back pressure forcing your thumb off the tube then your PCV is blocked! I replaced all my PCV with OEM equipment, but the top...
Having not been on here in ages I'm only just catching up on some of the cool builds recently! Awesome work here Chris, I'm loving the APs..... I think they're the same type of calliper as mine (with...
Hey Bones! I clicked on this link because I have issues with ABS on my P1 V70R that have been on going - I've replaced all the sensors, rings etc etc and still get the same faults. A Volvo main...
I defo admire the intensity Dave!!!! Goes way over my head though.... unless I can see and touch something it's all Greek to me :lol:
That was my concern too when tackling this.... I was originally going to go down the tubular frame route like fandango has, however, I've always strived to set my car up as a road/GT setup so I...
I've bought cars for the wheels in the past ;)

But I did put my tritons against my 740 and...
I originally thought the solid aluminium subframe mounts were only on early ragtops, however this came off a 2000 model so I would imagine it could be across the board?!

Hi Dave, hope you're well mate, sorry to hear your sad news recently!
It doesn't weigh a great deal as the brackets / plates are already there on std setup.... they are obviously beefed up...
Some dodgy pics of the assembly on the car....

I really don't understand why the convertible had this mount.... I was in two minds whether to remove the box section or not..... in the end it was a wise choice though as its very tight down there...
Hey James...... how the devil are you? Long time no see! I've been silly busy I'm afraid..... trying to get back into the cars atm!
....no I hadn't, very true.... I have now though :)
And yes I do have a lot of decorating to do...... after I've finished suing the surveyors for negligence..... hence the empty house being used...
Hi folks.... finished the subframe conversion eventually! All I can say is my car has never gone round corners like this... having done a good few laps of my usual routes over the past days, I can't...
