@leeds_182
As above mate I've removed the pic cos your address is visible. Blank it out and repost mate

I was hoping to get fan mail.

Edited version.

Money pit.

At least it gives the golf r owners a break.

Clutch and flywheel turned up today.

 

[_Tom]

£500.00 a clutch and flywheel? Christ. A new standard one not take the new found power?

Im going from dual mass to single. Standard set up is good for around 230bhp and my clutch was slipping. This set up which uses the 850r clutch should be Ok for 350.

I can't see me running more power than that anytime soon.

 

[leeds_182]

Plus I got some stickers.

Didn't realise they had a DMF. In that case I'm guessing this setup is not only better but cheaper?

Never really looked into it but the dual mass is a bit fragile so this is a logical upgrade.

Another fun day on the Volvo today fitting the new clutch and single mass flywheel. Big thanks to @craigyt for all his efforts as always! She fought us all the way but in the end it got done. Also fitted some chips that advance the timing and remove the boost cut and it's now running at 18psi and really does shift!

Few pics from today;

Lovely job! What payment method was used today...ironing?

KFC.

Beat me to it! Was actually WFC - Wakefield fried chicken.

Scene Swedish metal sticker on all the way from the states!

 

[craigyt]

Looks good, needs a bath though!

 

[leeds_182]

Little picture from yesterday after a clean. She runs well now with the new 'chips' and the 16t/15g hybrid turbo. Running and holding a steady 20psi compared to the previous 6psi. I can tell this due to the wonderful boost gauge I elegantly installed - with nails.

 

[Scrooge]

Lol at nails!

 

[Cookson]

ROFL at that total butchery

 

[Mr R.]

No sticky back pads then I take it?

Shame to bang nails into the dash mate.

 

[Goodj]

Superb work.
Nails, the Swedish equivalent of zip-ties.

Sprayed and fitted an egg crate grill to the Volvo today. Really happy with how it looks at the front end now! Just need to order another turbo moose for the front badge.

I saw one of these in my neck of the woods the other day. Looked to be the same colour, had a big exhaust but alloys instead of steels.

Grill is an improvement. Think it could do with something at the front though, a spoiler of some kind.

Know what you mean. I think a 960 front end goes on them but needs some modification.

 

[cat171]

That new grille's much better!

 

[leeds_182]

Just waiting on the rebuild kit for this bad boy.

Did someone say turbo lag?

 

[leeds_182]

Ran out of petrol. Fail.

 

[Jason_E]

Sorry if I missed it, but what sort of power you aiming for with the new turbo?

Remain sticker is brilliant. 10/10.

300bhp would be nice but I need to source some new injectors and a walboro pump before the boost can be turned up to that level.

Goes really well at the moment but the injectors are at their max at around 18psi on the 16t.

 

[leeds_182]

New moose arrivals today!

 

[S-JM]

Love the rear badge! :up:

 

[Daz...]

Front and rear look great, not too sure about the sides though.

 

[Pep]

In the nicest possible way I have so much hate and confusion over this car!!

 

[leeds_182]

I'm not sure about the sides but it's a Volvo 'scene' thing.

 

[Mr R.]

I love it, fcuk the haters. [emoji41]

 

[leeds_182]

Coming up for the 9 months Ownership and things have changed a fair bit.

 

[RMDavis]

Is it just me or do those registration plates just look too modern?

Maybe just a set of plates without the GB logo would look better?

Just my opinion of course! Loving the car bud!

 

[cat171]

That's just what I was thinking! It looks super cool now though!

 

[leeds_182]

Good point about the plates. I'm not a fan of the badges.
