there's nothing wrong with it, it's just recently reminded my just how 'slow' the steering is compared to 'normal' cars.

Does this not bother anyone else?
I assume it's designed to be nice and un-twitchy for motorway cruising, but for regular driving it's... weird.
For regular corners I'm practically crossing hands....
I'm looking at putting a VNT on mine (GT2256v), but controlling it is a bugger. A simple standalone ECU would be best, to be able to modulate boost better, as driveability should be better. Have a...
Hmm, I'm in Shrewsbury, may have to get into contact with them.
have you had to do anything to the ECU to have it remapped, Thought they were 'fixed' like the TDi VWs are.
Care to share what parts...
bump, guys?
Tracking I can have done, as I need to get my second pair of wheels painted and have winter tyres put on!
I'm wondering if it could be my wishbone bushes being shagged, 171k and i assume they're...
found them, now having done a bit of reading, what else could be causing wear on the inner edge?
I think I have the pressure a bit high, but the camber isn't noticable, haven't measured it yet mind...
Apologies if this sounds stupid, but can you adjust the camber on the front of a P1 V70?
Didn't notice slotted holes on the bottom of the strut.
Had my wheel off to try and diagnose the knocking...
Very nice! Pretty jealous.
I've got some foglights for price of postage
interesting, hadn't thought of that.
will have to check there and maybe look into polys :)
engine feels very solid, but i'll try and check the mounts underneath.
CV is what I was a bit worried about, how would one check that?
It feels very much like driver's side front but that could...
got drilled and grooved on mine, sounds like a bike when slowing down, get a whirring kinda noise slowing down.
ads 15hp looking cool ;)
genuine are supposedly better though
Noticed recently, after a failed overtake (acceleration then sudden braking) that when i let off the accelerator, i get a clunk sound, quite noticeable.
also knocks on rougher road when on idle.
my...
got my pads and caliper adapters from the Swansea Volvo dealer, forgot what their name is. come well recommended on here, just order over the phone.
went for drilled / grooved discs becuase....
not helpful, but I made my own! about £150 in materials, just need to do the (rather over the top) 3" downpipe when I can afford a new turbo.
If you want to be cheap and have the ability to, I see...
would have thought the stock manifold would give a fairly imbalanced flow, it would be interesting to compare across there.
Might be a consideration if the target was seriously high hp
Modifying...
that's my method of car work!
Much respect for the suck it and see though
Always a good read, sure you'll sort the engine woes.
Can't remember if I asked why not just a water to air intercooler...
it just dumps the exhaust gas straight out of the bottom when the butterfly is open.
Or most of it anyway, being the path of least resistance. In fact the passing airflow probably helps....
hmmm i'm off to try that!
you sure? that's like 3" and 2" round! about 100kg of copper probably ;)
Considering battery swap too, i ran the ap wiring along the bottom of the car, but tunnel would probably be best as long as...
wow awesome car.
Those Nissan hubs are interesting, may borrow their design.
The bearing is part of the hub right?
(I'm designing a tube chassis car and all the suspension components etc)
should be getting a new pair of Maxxis MAZ3's on Friday, will get 205/50/R17
What do people generally run on Pegasus'?
interesting just a caphead bolt with a tapered washer?
I've got some ford 5x108 adapters, but i think i'll look at getting the other wheels on, even though they're in crap condition still
Driving...
standard wheel bolts are 28mm though, advert is kinda a lie...?
i thought the 50 profiles would be big but they're not bad at all, plus living in mid wales and a mountain biker i kinda like having 50 over 40 profile for rough roads and stuff
they came off a...
