well, shes Mot'd and on the road




might not be to everyones taste but i think it looks cool haha, now just to sort any niggles and get the new seats in and then start upping the power.

I love this thing! Keep meaning to get some sneaky pictures of it when mine has been parked outside the unit (Green V70) Will try get some next time your down and i'm there..
Will be good to see it on the road! Been sat there looking sorry for itself for the past few month

should see it about now. was it you who was in there helping the other week i wasnt sure?.

I think when its finished it will look awesome. Its very similar to my brother's project - different car mind.


Anyway, the point - is to be able to do this! (I hope to see this Volvo going sideways very soon! - just need to do a bit of tinkering with the diff).

Shame this pic is before his arches went on

looks good, a lad near us drifts one with the same style...all be it a lot less tidy lol

Baught a turbo the other night on suspicion of it Bieng a hybrid rb25 turbo with steel internals and I have just had it confirmed
It's good for 350-375 bhp so 300 for me is a piece of cake, I got it for £100 and it's like new, an absolute bargain! and speaking to someone on turbo bricks he said he ran a standard rb25 turbo on his b230 and hit full boost at 2500rpm this sounds very exciting haha

iv just got some replacement front coilovers with seperate height pre load adjustment so hopefully i can get the front riding properly rather than bouncing along.
also ordered some adjustable rear shocks off classic swede. cant wait to shot them both on

You need 20+ psi to get near 300 bhp. Bung it on and report back!

Are you sticking with stock actuator pressure, or are you going to fit a MBC/EBC?

On a skyline the standard turbo is good for about 330 iirc and you can only run them to 0.9 bar because hey snap the ceramic shafts
Il go to about 1.2 and see what happens :p I'm tempted to up my power plans a bit seen as though a guy on tb has just ran 365 wheel horse power on complete stock bottom end on a 91 motor with the supposed weaker rods haha. Il be updating on here when it's on as this is basically turning into a project thread,

Erm I'm not sure what be actuator is set at but proberbly using a boost controller
