Half the cars value on suspension. I better think of some excuse for the wife.

I remember seeing a V6 one that had been turbocharged and I'm sure it had cut down Mitsubishi shogun springs I think BBR did it in the mid 90s

More Spring trimming tonight.

Sitting a lot better now!

 

[Daz...]

It must be 15 years since I see someone cut springs down. Top stuff :up:

 

[Ray Gin]

I haven't seen cut springs since I was 18/19. Hope you don't take your kids out in that! Lol

IIRC the volvo has parallel springs which are fine to chop as long as theyre long enough to stay in place with the damper fully extended.
When it got bad was people cutting modern beehive springs which then didnt sit safely in the seats

Good knowledge.

 

[leeds_182]

DPD man has been!

Nice discreet tail pipe...

 

[Mr R.]

Expensive?

 

[leeds_182]

Expensive?

In relation to the cost of the car - yes.

 

[imprezaworks]

Expensive?

I asked the same. He hasn't told me so it's gonna be a bit

 

[Mr R.]

[leeds_182]

What invoice, it didn't come with one.....honest.

 

[leeds_182]

Got the boss welded into the downpipe for the afr gauge tonight.

This chip also arrived in the post today too. No more boost cuts now!

 

[Chrisgti6]

Old skool chipping - I like.

I remember doing that in my Punto GT and having to change it back, in the rain, in a car park. All to get it through the MOT - the good old days!

 

[497adam]

Where was the chip from?

 

[leeds_182]

Where was the chip from?

Some geez on eBay.

 

[leeds_182]

Exhaust fitting day today! Didn't go according to plan as the down pipe turned out to be a b**ch.

Still not on and had to call it a night so back at it tomorrow!

 

[leeds_182]

The zorst is on!

 

[Mr R.]

The zorst is on!

Fcuking lad. [emoji106]

Cheers bro.

 

[Waitey]

[leeds_182]

Sounds all boosty. Are these a 5 banger?

Alas no, a lowly 4 cylinder.

 

[leeds_182]

Afr gauge installed. Well happy with it!

 

[leeds_182]

Few shots with the 90s inspired zorst on;

 

[Mork of Ork]

It seems really weird that Volvo were still selling a car as boxy as that in 1995 and then 2 years later started selling this.

 

[msremmert]

Aww man seeing this thread makes me want to do silly things to my Passat.

 

[leeds_182]

 

[Bluebeard]

I actually like the car. It's very noble!

That exhaust however is gash.
