Wrap up - Sweden Wanted to share some of my more general shots of Sweden, it's an amazing place with awesome views everywhere. The place is VERY expensive to live in, but at the same time, everybody has houses which are twice the size of the UK average. The place usually seems completely...

Sunday - POWERSTAGE The final stage of the rally, and right outside Torsby airport and the finish podium. I had the choice of either the stage or the podium, and I chose to get the last bit of action for the rally, which turned out to be a good call since someone with a very enthusiastic trigger...

Sunday - Likenas Yep, the stage with the amusing name. Sat through both runs of this stage, it's a rallycross track so you get reasonably close. Weather wasn't great and it was still fairly dark but a great atmosphere again.

Saturday-HAGFORS With Colin's Crest done, we moved on to the next big jump - Hagfors now finishes on a ski slope, and there's a nice big jump at the top of it. I managed to score the absolute perfect position and despite plenty of smoke from yet more bonfires (there's a bit of a theme here), I'm...

Saturday - COLIN'S CREST Saturday was a big one, two stages and they were both the big jumps of the rally. Colin's Crest barely needs an introduction - The legendary jump is now one of the biggest spectator areas of the whole rally and I was lucky to get somewhere near the front. The atmosphere...

Friday - Svullyra 1, Hof-Finnskog 2 and Service 'C' With the rally now fully underway it was time for the first 'proper' stages. I didn't get a great view of Svullyra, but at Hof-Finnskog I got a proper win - a local Norweigan kid rocked up on an ATV with a very dodgy looking sled behind it, and...

Thursday - SERVICE AND SUPERSPECIAL Moving on from Shakedown we chased the cars back to Torsby Airport to see the shakedown service at lunchtime. For those who haven't seen Hyundai's garage, it's massive, a proper F1 spec effort and puts the other teams' hospitality to shame. After that it was...

So this year, I was given a frankly excellent opportunity to go to Rally Sweden, for the whole event. It was an escorted tour which was well worth the money as I highly doubt I'd have seen half the stages I saw if I was doing it myself. I took over 2000 pictures over the course of the weekend...

I was going to say this, then I remembered that this car will never get even close to being dirty :D

Cameras it fits; https://store.nikon.co.uk/battery-en-el15/VFB10702/details#compatible

Cheers, won’t fit my D3300 I think though. Believe Dr Jekyll shoots with the same?

CS has the best people. The BEST. Top work that man!

Looks bloody lush.

It's a bit like FSX, but not quite as good :tongueout:

Sounds pretty extensive, look forward to trying it.

Yep, my dad had one. In that colour too actually.

Main board. Not mains electricity.

Why, oh why, did they not do it in the 'proper' blue.

This is airbox lid off. (albeit with a turbo intake pipe, but should sound the same with that resonator section removed) This is a cone. Sorry they're both Volvos, lol

I really don't like the induction noise too much personally, they sound very hoover-ey. Decat is worth it for the pops, but yeah, at the very least lose the backboxes. You can also try removing the resonator from the inlet pipe for a slightly deeper sound, if it has it. Where the turbo inlet...

Get rid of those backboxes. And the cat.

That’s what mine costs. And 250ish bhp is about right for a map.

And I thought my fuel economy was bad. RIP. (Correct choice of MPV though sir.)

WTF was I not informed about this for!?!? P.S. Congrats on an excellent purchase, can't wait to see it.

Why is it, whenever I see one of these, it's trying to race an Audi A3?

Has a slight effect on suspension rates as seen by the wheel too, by moving the load (kind of) further from the pivot. You’ll be fine though. Do it.

Looks cool, might invest. Although it seems wrong, being underwater and being able to see more than a foot in front of your face.
