just glad to see that despite one bad run you are able to have a giggle about how cruel motorsport really is... my t5-r used to run and run with no niggles at all, but now it's one thing after another... is this a contagious vpcuk thing or just normal for a volvo of it's age....lol

It's only a bit of tin, nothing a bit of filler and some of paint can't cure

Looks a lot better now, it doesn't need to be perfect as it will have vinyl covering some of it.

**T4Rick** · Sunday 9th October 2011, 17:52

Looks good mate

**Jim S70R** · Sunday 9th October 2011, 19:47

Nice job you've made there, what sort of covering are you going for?

the plan is to have VOLVO on one side and 850K on the other side ( half on the bonnet and folding down onto the wings a bit) in black reflective, so it will only be visible at night when headlamps shine on it

Glad to see its all coming back together Colin. I have to admit as much as it cost the nitrous did make an excellent photo!

LOL... the bonnet took a big gouge out of my shiny new paint today, I think I'll leave it until I've changed the hinges

No way I was going to let you be out of pocket mate

**volvo** · Monday 10th October 2011, 19:29

cheers mate...i thought a fiver would be more than enough to be honest and when she said something like "£10.34" i was like eh? Then i asked for the price for the second class slower delivery...she said yes, thats it! lol

Well the car has been at the tuners for a fortnight now, and the news isn't good, it looks like the engine is knackered now, due to all the running on tick over, the over-fueling has washed the bores and she's breathing really badly now, but we'll keep persevering with this engine for the time being, One run saw just shy of 330bhp, fitted a bigger maf housing today (Vauxhall Omega 3ltr V6) quite handy as the maf sensor from the Volvo is a straight swap.

**Jamest5r** · Thursday 27th October 2011, 19:18

Ahhh mate sorry to hear that but 330 is mighty impressive, could'nt you leave it as it was then? or is it only over-fueling on tick over but fine when running/boosting?

It's all over the place, hoaping the bigger maf housing will do the trick tomorrow, or the TurboTuner will be for sale and going for Omex stand alone system.

Indeed a good power figure but I guess where the engine has been overfueling with the supercharger fitted it was always going to cause damage to the engine long term
