As Dave mentioned they could be blanking plugs, or possibly the bumper has been swapped a some point in the cars history for one reason or another.

The last one I made wound up in Australia for exactly the same reason, JamesT-5R couldn't find one, so I made him one and sent it over for his exhaust guys to fab up his new 3" dp for his green...

New 3" exhaust flanges nearing completion, so next move is to tack up the new 3" DP ready for welding and then the bsr system them needs it's new tailpipe finisher,......and to find a new engine too,...

That's me going in a different direction, compound charging should be fun and expand my knowledge a fair bit more, I'm already machining up a part that may grace the engine bay, which will depend on...

Lol... you'll wind up tinkering with something for sure.......

I think that's highly likely......:wavey:

A 19t would be my next move turbo wise I think, yet it would most likely be a modified 15g with a 19t wheel and turbine housing, it would be interesting what it would map up to on a dyno as the 15g...

It's your car, you should be able to do what you like with it, look up Claymore's threads on the T-10k and his T-5R, that should give you some ideas on arches.

Well thanks for that, glad you liked the thread......to be honest the rest of them have been saying for a long time to run a bigger turbo, I just wanted to see what I can squeeze out of it before...

The c70 rear anti roll bar is a nice upgrade I am reliably informed, as it is thicker than the standard 850/v70 ones and should be easily available for a breaker or ebay.

Thanks Morgan, the engine bay is probably one of the best bits at present along with the interior, sadly the body I can not say the same for at present, which is requiring new wings and a full...

Well I thought I get some pic's up of the work done last year on Gul starting with the boring out of the inlet manifold
32962
all went well and the hole saw was just the prefect size and just a...

It's odd that on the one that the inlet is stuck on, you'd imagine both to stick if the warped head theory has anything to do with it.

As for garage time, to cold for me and I have to sort the...

I've got to to rip the head off Gul's engine shortly, that one was well cooked and acting as a water pump, so I am expecting in to have warped it's head, so it will be interesting if I have the same...

Have you tried torqueing one down on a block and then trying the cams in it then, funny how all four are the same..??

Welcome back mate



Nealevo's 850R fetched a fair bit more that that and AndysR did too iirc, when Neal had finished with it.

Are they gasketed or sealanted normally? Not that I'd think a bead of sealant compressed sealant would make much difference tbh.

All the best Dave, look forward to seeing you again when they let us out again, it will be time for another run by then.

That would make me think it's normal it 4 sets are have the same issues, do they rotate better with the lifter etc in place...??

sounded like it KMB..sadly

As you know we can have that problem here in Wales but you don't have to go too far to find a perfect drive around with limited holdups...:haha:

Nice bit of kit you've got yourself for Christmas there Rob, I assume as yours is AWD, that these will fit the P1 V70R AWD phase 2 and 3

Many have deleted the pcv in the past, me included and in many different ways, a common one is to tap into the rocker cover and take 1 or 2 breathers from there to a catch tank, if your removing the...

A sticky idle control valve possibly springs to mind...?? My Gul's rev's hang between gear changes but I believe that is down to me using a remapped auto ecu on a manual car, but I not been bothered...

Thanks that's handy to know, it will save a bit of head scratching should I see it ever come up some day.
