Ian's Saffy V70 R

[smithy]

Been driving me mad for months Graham I can tell you... The labour for all that was only 4 and a half hours at £50 an hour, Derek really knows his stuff and is as honest as the day is long.

Ride is a lot smoother now and steering is much tighter so I was really pleased until the Prop Shaft started squeaking and groaning, serious money again.

If the is a problem with the prop take the prop off to you can sort things mate and nice to see you back too

[iancho]

Good to see you and the Saffy back mate......I even started a IANCHO Abducted? thread lol

Lol did you really!

It's good to hear from you too Steve, infact it's good to hear from ALL of you!!!

I do REALLY miss everything... My life is still the same, up early on days off, tinkering and polishing the car from 6 to 8am usually.

I'm just obsessed with the damn thing!

I hope your going to make the Evo run in November?

[iancho]

It will be nice to see you again and I think there will be some usual suspects heading the same way, so I'll check with Mr Evans before posting a date, as we don't want it to clash with anything else and If I'm really lucky I might be in my Yellow one

Ade I'm already looking forward to it bud. it's the one event I try to make it too

What do you mean Yellow one? what have you been up to?!

Nice to hear from you too Carl, the prop is coming off Monday bud then I can have a look at it

[iancho]

All-in, you've not had anywhere enough trouble to warrant scrapping what is probably the best saffy on the forums these days. Although some have broken good cars for less.. (mentioning no names )

While you've been away, the sweed has got herself a GWE downpipe and is now considerably quicker, much to the annoyance of the driver of a 2002 M3 who couldn't pull away from me last sunday

Cheers Mart, kind words indeed bud

I bet the GWE downpipe sounds mental bud! Best ex-plod in the country by a long shot!

Here are a few recent one's of mine, too beautiful to scrap!









How to scrap her or break her?! I'd be lost without it after all the time and money that's been invested

hi ian, good to see you above water and the car's still alive.
Frankie has had like...... 2 cars at least since you were last on

[V70 Graham]

I'm organising a little 'go karting' event on the 18th Oct if your about, be good to catch up if you can make it.

Flick through my threads, I had some pictures taken for me recently of the car, maybe something you would be interested in.

[Tomcat]

Cars looking great Ian, sorry to hear about the prop, be in touch soon mate about the bumper.

[MoleT-5R]

Nice to hear from you too Carl, the prop is coming off Monday bud then I can have a look at it

Tomcat may have a second hand prop off the v70 awd he's currently breaking, might be a cheap fix option for you mate. As for the Yellow, Here's a link to my soon to be new toy http://www.vpcuk.org/forums/showthre...yer&highlight=


P.S. your car is looking the nuts in those pic's

[stribo]

Good to see you're still with us mate. If you learnt how to hold a spanner, then it wouldn't cost so much to keep your car going, all bar the heater matrix are easy jobs. Good to see that you're still putting the money into the best looking saffy,(even if it isn't the quickest saffy on the forum ). Now stop fannying around, and get your name down for Trax. Missed you bud.

Phwwwaaaaaarrrrrr!

Best pics yet. (although I still need to reheat that splitter)

[jamesy12345]

Nice photo location, Ian, I like the contrast between the greenery & shiny car. Everyone was wondering what you'd been up to

Shame about the prop!

[Biff]

You can't break it mate.. It's far to nice compared to what usually gets broken.
Thing you should ask yourself is what you replace it with. I'm a bit stuck now I'm car-less after getting bored of the type R's limiter. Lol
Hope the prop is a cheap fix & that heater matrix doesn't look fun.
Fabreeze hides a multitude of sins you know.
Good to see you back on the forum & hope you are good mate. Your missed by a lot of us!

I would be interested in a lot of the parts as my saffy was involved in a accident but iike ppl say its too good to break

[iancho]

hi ian, good to see you above water and the car's still alive.

Hi Jamie, Good to see your still around too bud, Only 2?! lol.... I think Frank will settle with the one he has now although I hear he is looking for a S60 R.

I'm organising a little 'go karting' event on the 18th Oct if your about, be good to catch up if you can make it.

Flick through my threads, I had some pictures taken for me recently of the car, maybe something you would be interested in.

I doubt I'll be able to make it mate, thanks for the offer though we must try and meet up sometime. I will have a look at your Project thread as I'm sure whatever you have done will be Quality and of interest to me.

Cars looking great Ian, sorry to hear about the prop, be in touch soon mate about the bumper.

Cheers Craig, got your message about the Bumper bud.... Really looking forward too seeing it and you.

Well I am surprised Ade! So you finally got a Gul.... Nice one bud, I'm looking forward too seeing it and you in the Flesh in the not to distant future.
Spoke to Craig, his Prop was worse than mine but thanks for the heads up.


P.S. your car is looking the nuts in those pic's

Better in the Flesh Ade

Tell me about it Steve, I could of saved a fortune bud... sometimes I feel so frustrated at not being able to do stuff!
I will let you bask in the Glory of TRAX bud as It was too much for me being in a "Man Sandwich" between you and Graham, I still have Flashbacks..... Missed you too!

Phwwwaaaaaarrrrrr!

Cheers mate, they do look nice bud, hopefully I'll be around abit more now and be able to catch up with everyone

Cheers Dave, it's good to see your still around too bud, don't rush in finding another R, take your time and find a quality one that hopefully won't cost you too much!

Last week I clocked up 650 Miles in four days going to Fishguard in South Wales to visit my Gran and guess who I bumped into...?



Ian's car looked amazing in Polestar Blue...



I loved the Body kit...




His car was REALLY impressive, I honestly didn't think I was going to like the colour but when you see it in the Flesh you cannot help but like it...


Performance was terrifying! 2nd and 3rd Scared me to Death! and those huge Brakes looked amazing and did an incredible job of Stopping us...


A Super all round Car and as for Ian... He was so relaxed and friendly you cannot help but like him, for a 25yr Old he is wise beyond his years and more Grown up than me!

Great to finally meet you Ian it's a Pity you live so far away bud as the whole Volvo Community is losing out.... Awsome Car bud!

[iancho]

Whilst Driving to South Wales this Light Came on and the car started to miss at times... it went out after a couple of days but came back on again on the journey home and is now off again.... Any ideas? is it a Simple Fix?

[Biff]

Engine warning light mate. You need to get it diagnosed. Have you replaced your maf?
I've found a car mate. All will be revealed soon.

[abdul]

Get codes checked would be something simple
