Good to hear that you still have your V70 R, that's been some long ownership, I have a few long ownership Volvo's here but next to none are on the road at present, hopefully I'll get to sort one or...
Hi, seem to recall stumbling across this in vida whilst looking into other issues with our XC90, what did stick in my mind is 30 for low and 40 for high, as I thought that is quite warm for high and...
Nice looking car Gav, baby no.7 you have been busy, no wonder you need a bigger place, our little runabout is a rather fun Abarth 595 180hp Comp, puts a smile on your face when ever we take her out....
All good here Gav, still got Gul, she should be having new wings, paint, angled hotside and 3" decat dp, 2.5" bsr rear system, this year to finish of the recent upgrades she has had. What are you...
I was lucky enough to have 5 runs up Presscott at a Retro Rides meet there a few years back, absolutely loved it and like you I'd like to do it again some day, as a lot has changed on Olive since...
Nice job Dave, that downpipe looks awesome, not the easiest of jobs to do with the added issue of the angle gear being in the way.
some nice upgrades there, IC looks great
Good to see you had a great time your list of further mods are good, I would add that fully corner weighting the car is a must to get the best out of a new coilover setup, but I'm sure you know that.
As above, I've been with Footman James for years, Have 3 classics and 2 moderns all on one multi-car policy, which mean both the wife and I can drive any car we want, when we want and unlimited...
Nice rad J.T......I did recently hear of someone having over heating issues which was baffling them, when the water pump was removed it was found to have stripped it's self of it's impellor blades.
J.T. are you still running a stand rad or have you upgraded the rad, if not it may be time to.......also is the water pump ok and circulating effectively... just a couple of my thoughts as the grill...
I can vouch for the Accelera 651's just popped a set onto the Abarth and even though I have increased the profile height from 40 to 45, they handle lovely, although I have still to test them in the...
Sorry to hear the racing is off, but Happy Birthday mate, hope you have a great day:partysmil
Sorry to here you've been cloned, but thanks for the excellent advice on how to deal with it. Tyre pressures are going to make a massive difference to your tyre wear and grip, as some of us no just...
and even more JamesT5 (Comby) used these a couple of times I believe and I don't recall him trying to sue them, so they must be ok.....:banana:
This is my AEM AFR guage Dave, datalogging connection is in the glove box....

I also added AEM's EGT gauge and mounted in the spare...
You probably know already, but a certain project is moving to a new stable, I just have to clear a space and ready the tow car.......updates will follow and they will be on here first before any...
Hopefully re-constructing the xc90 this week for mot, long time off the road and hopefully the re-placement engine is not a dog, will be good to have a tow car again, then may be another 850 could...
Nice kit that, I have used all do88 silicone on the Gul's induction and turbo piping, good quality stuff which easily will handle higher boost pressures and in black has allowed me to keep the Oem...
Very nice mate, alway's fancied one of those myself, not that I think I will have one now though.
That's great, hopefully this will iron out the issue. Good to she Betsy progressing again, I now have to pull my finger out and get on with my projects, the have been waiting way to long now for...
Well that's good news, Not that I've ever tried an man ecu in an auto, but my understanding was that auto ecu's work in manuals and auto's (and that is true as both my factory manual T-5R's are...
GLWTS, I'd be interested if my drive wasn't already full of Volvo's and still trying to make space for a very special one at present, when it arrives it will be posted up on here.
You should be easily able to get 300hp from you car (though it would be a lot easier with an earlier p80 car), the 3"dp and system should be first up, green injectors and 3"maf (if your car doesn't...
