Found it, yes it was a NA 5sp 6 pot 2.8 manual, originally volvo produced the t6 concepts with this box as well then decided to go auto. This is all from memory and god knows how much power it would...
B6s and eibach / H&R works brilliantly.
B4’s are are fine for a daily but rubbish for anything sporty as really just std replacements.
I’ll be removing the harness from a V70R I’m breaking currently, I think it goes up to rear speakers / Rem area, someone has already asked for it but if it falls through and you need one i’ll let you...
Where abouts are you based? I’ve got a 2006 facelift dem from our old Xc90, if you wanted to rule it out.
I’ve got the pic to hand if anyone wants it.
Iirc when in Gothenburg they said that the development s60r had a TME exhaust and was more powerful around 350-360 then the cost cutting accountants had there way and needed up at 300bhp.
Brake servo pipe can cause air leaks, worth checking
I’ve been looking at some of those dealers from car plan, def give them when sonic is manual converted in couple of months.
Also I’ve got a couple of sets of those anti brake vibration plates I...
Unfortunately I still have to car work done on the drive, the workshop is for the Ducati’s
Next doors bins, but only picture I have as haven’t had time to do anything with it as currently building a workshop 5m x 4m which is taking longer than anticipated
Won’t be being broken up, it would be worth more as a car, had two offers on it as it is, plus saved twice as many as broken for spares.
I got paid out for that in the end lol.
£3500 ish, more in parts, but for how long it’s worth more in parts is soon vanishing, as an example V70R’s are already generally easier to sell and hold money better to the point it’s not worth...
I upgraded the brakes on the s70r, much improved and better than 302s (although you could probably make 302s better with uprated pads)
I only break when needed, but hmmm you’ve got me thinking now
Just be keeping it, had the sonic 4 years now and getting to the point of having the Volvo’s I want to keep. The flash green V70r will take over daily duties most likely when I get the time to sort...
Just picked up a 854 Gul manual for the school run / daily, usual needing a mop and new wing but other than a few small issues which I’ve mostly got parts to sort it’s actually not too bad, low...
They look very good, love the sonics with dark Wheels had mine done black gloss and changed headlamps to the black xenons, some of the heico Wheels look lush which is what they remind me of.
Not even all volvo 18s fit over brembos iirc, you’ll most likely have fouling issues
You can lower them but have to reset the ride height with vida
When I get around to it I'll be listing the white conversion parts. Iirc everything this there water pipes, sump cut and shortened, plus white block gearbox including starter motor mount, 265 ARB,...
Well done, looks awesome!
I'd have had it last week, but bought the S70R
Make sure the oil is hot above 60 degs and it's running when you check the level.
Also you'll want to reset oil counter if flushing it with vida.
You can check oil temp that way too but I've...
