Lovely sunday drive... mid to late 90's Volvo style

**AndysR** · Monday 22nd August 2011, 23:00

Went down to Eastbourne with my brother this weekend to catch up with some good friends who we know through the Volvo Owners Club (Kerry T-5R and MarkT4) had a great sunday drive and found some excellent country pubs for refreshments along the way, of the soft variety of course, managed to get a couple of shots as well. Tried to get a shot of my brothers on the move as it can produce some very impressive flames, not what you'd expect from a Volvo, but couldn't time it right or hold the camera straight for long enough so missed out which was a shame. Anyway here is a small collection of shots I took along the way.

For those of you who don't frequent the VOC the 854 T-5R is a manual with a Quaife diff, he also has JCViggens full front mount, it's huge, and his reverse intercooler piping along with Gaz Gold Coilovers, my god does it shift and handle, and a full 3" JT exhaust system. The S70R you will recognise from here and the S40 is quite something else, it's running a full stand alone engine management system known as Vipex it has been mapped by Mark Shead, the same guy who mapped mine, and has a Ferrita cat back system and cat bypass along with Gaz Gold coilovers and a Quaife diff, the engine is the later 1.9 T2 T4 engine which has been stripped and rebuilt with uprated rods and a few other tricks it is still running a 14G but again it handles and shifts and the owner is looking to upgrade the turbo to something a little more special in the not to distant future. All cars performed well and I think it's fair to say all had a good time, just a shame we can't have nice weather throughout the year in the UK...

There's something about volvos isn't there, sure you can get an evo covered in spoilers and vents but nothing takes up a carpark like a posse of angry swedish metal!
Nice pics dude
