Here she is! Image Image Image 2.3 HPTurbo, Manual :B_steerin, 102,000 miles, Everything original. Looking forward to street sleepering the old girl, keeping all the typical volvo trademarks (reflective bumper stripes so-on..) I have a couple of goodies from my dead t5 for sale, i'll post them up shortly! :wizardtro

I've always had a soft spot for these...

Yes ebay shone through again. The RWD + manual thing was the winner for me. I used to be an avid member of Trampdrift with my 535i manual. This should be more fun though!

you need some spacers lol also you got any pics of the engine bay and what psi it the 15g running

Post 214718 by tomtyres on 2009-02-20 20:02:47

Well to be honest, the 15g in the car is screwed!!!!! I'm collecting another 15g from my good man 'Niles' tommorow morning, and when thats fitted i will have a fair idea of boost! as for engine bay pics, i will snap away tommorow. And as for spacers, 20mm for the front and 25mm for the rears coming next week.

Now she looks like this, Image Image I've painted the original rims, they fit so much better than those T5 ones. It's also sporting a side exit exhaust, easier than welding together an over the axle system. (oh yea, and a VPCUK window sticker, thanks again Justin!)
