V70 Graham's relentless pursuit of perfection!

[mr shifter]

See you at Martins tomorrow then.

[M-R-P]

beware - little MRP will be present so don't leave any shiny stuff lying around if you don't want it taped to a Tonka toy

[expolicev70t5]

Have you changed the sweeds name then?? to Tonka

Just a quick update, I've decided NOT to fit the do88.se intercooler to the car, on my ME7 car it's going to be a very tight fit and I might have to do without the a/c, I spoke to MRG this morning (they did Rudeboy's yesterday) and they say it's a pig of a job and took them 5 hours, granted that did include removing his a/c but fair play to them as they honoured the quote thay gave him

They also said that the standard intercooler should be up to the job (even with a new exhaust) and tbh if they hadn't have come up at such a good price I wouldn't have thought of getting one.

A forum member has expressed his interest in the cooler so he has first dibs, if he doesn't want it I'll be putting a 'for sale' post up.

I still have one very important 'mod' to do this week.....piccy's tomorrow

Atleast you changed your mind before fitting it this time

Hahahaha wonder what Martin would have said if I let him fit it and then changed my mind.....answers on a postcard.

So there'll be a do88.se intercooler up for sale for £500 then.

To be fair he eats everything else, bar salad.

[AndysR]

I fail to see why the cooler is tight whilst retaining the a/c...? Fingers crossed you don't blow an end tank off your standard cooler otherwise you'll be cursing the day you sold this.. Lol

Don't worry I'll be keeping my old standard intercooler for the time being

[V70 Graham]

To whom?

Mr Biff

Oh mine is sure to go as soon as I send mine off to it's new owner.....s*d's law

I hope you have no trouble Graham or my guilty conscience will kick in.
Thanks for giving me dibs, my intercooler looks like it's been at the bottom of the sea after 300,000 miles of all weathers. I really was dreading telling mrs biff it was another £300 part. The bullion will live another year (I hope).

You made the right choice mate.... I'd miss my A/C too much it's all part of owning a high end Volvo



Good luck with it Dave your like a blasted magpie at the moment!

You don't have to lose the A/C to fit the intercooler though, Graham's just being a tart. TBH it wouldn't have made his car quicker than mine anyway, so I guess he's settled for being Captain Slow.

[V70 Graham]

Today's handiwork, took a while but I got round to it in the end.....

[stribo]

It's on the wrong car.
