I'm with the others on the R Spec side of things.

I wound it out and set the boost to 14psi in my old 850 T5 and got 225hp on the dyno, which is factory, I know, but also hit 300lb.ft torque, and...

Thanks to a guy I know I have a new, free peep mirror off a Volvo Amazon :D

I say keep it flush. U int a chav bruv so don't go tryn 2 fink u iz, innit?

They don't fit the right way round, so just gonna have them come out the front bumper :D


Oh, and I want that 740!!! :D

Well I've been busy today, and some of you may have already seen on facebook that the engine now looks like a proper engine :) I have fueling again, I have the heads on and the exhaust manifolds on...

940s are great. I'm with you on preferring the look of the 740 but they're all brick really :lol:

If you keep with the standard redblock 2.3 turbo rather than a T5 swap it'll keep your insurance...

Heh, let's just say that's proving to be a bit of inspiration to me ;)

V8 for the win mate, I can give tips on it too :D

Mine came out so long ago I don't remember if I even had a passenger air bag. Don't think I did thinking about it!

This is just awesome!!! When it gets to the in car view, there are times he's on the straight with full lock on, the roads are just that icy!!!

I used this when I put my 4" speakers in the dash of my 855 :) Had to give it a little tug to get it off, but I got there. I can't remember the full...

Duuuuddeeee!!! I NEED them in my life!!! :lol:

Hahaaa, I'm loving it!!! Put rainbow tights over the lights instead and it'll complete the clown look for sure! :lol:

Cheers :D Haha, yea, I'm going for the full on Mad Max look with the post apocalyptic survival vehicle.

I won't keep them on for normal daily use, as I know I'll get a tug from the old bill, but...

Well my bull bars are now all refurbed and they're on there temporarily while I make up new brackets as I lost the original ones (well, the car ate them and refuses to spit them back out from...

February 23rd:


Well the sump has been chopped, and the oil pick up is now made of 4 sections welded together to change the angle and length of it so it now fits too :)
...

I need some help here!!! Not a damsel in distress, but a Volvoer (is that the term for us Volvo drivers??)


My fuel pump isn't priming on my 1997 940 when I turn the ignition on, and I believe...

Cheers mate :) I've had to cut a section out of the sump to make it fit over the subframe and having to modify the oil pick up too to allow it to fit in the newly shaped sump so hopefully that'll fit...

Just tap it into any ignition live. I did mine into the remote wire on my stereo that sent the +12V signal to the amps.

I mean it's bolted in to tge gearbox with the torque converter attached. The first pic I posted with the V8 in the engine bay it was held by an engine crane but not any more :)

Guess what? Yep, it's bolted in properly!! No engine mounts as of yet, and still gotta channel a bit out the cross member to get a bit of clearance for the sump off that, and for the bellhousing off...

Cheers bud :D Hopefully the next one will be the V8 bolted in properly *crosses fingers*

Cheers mate :D

Looks like we're gonna try dropping the cross member and steering rack, get the engine in, and then raise it back up as high as it'll go and see how that works :) Might need a bit...
