[Mr R.]

Yeah, joes. He's doing a restoration on it.

Shame but I guess it's better than you having to do a lot of work on it.

Jim, do you know if the low pressure ones of these are just a different turbo or is it a case of winding the boost up?

Or do they use a different engine/turbo set up all together?

No difference with the low and high pressure other than where the boost is set. You can wind the low pressure up to 12psi on the low pressure one no problems.

 

[Mr R.]

Thanks dude, that's good to know. [emoji106]

So have you wound it up to 15psi yet?

 

[leeds_182]

No, I'm getting the cambelt swapped first next week.

 

[leeds_182]

It was raining today.

I decided to push the Volvo through its paces and ended up facing the wrong way on the roundabout.

Rwd noob.

 

[Mr R.]

I might go and look at this over the weekend.

Lot of car for the money! I want those wheels.

 

[leeds_182]

Once over today;

Ordered some vac pipe so should be able to turn up the boost this week.

 

[Mr R.]

Best car on the forum.

 

[leeds_182]

I desperately want to plough some cash in but know I'll never see it again. There are a surprising number of parts for these!

 

[leeds_182]

Not my best install...

 

[Stiamh-JM]

I dunno mate I think you've upped its worth by a good £1.50ish with that!

 

[Welsh.Dan]

Flol! You should sell fitting kits for gauges for the volvo on the bay :

 

[McGherkin]

Cambelt done yet?

 

[leeds_182]

Cambelt done yet?

Friday.

It's only for while I 'mapped it' with the manual boost controller so now it's done I'll probably get shut.

Booooooost!

I'd buy one. [emoji106]

Blue Peters got nothing on you. [emoji41]

Yeah I guessed it wasn't permanent [emoji41]
I did a similar thing to my astra vxr, I zip tied it to the steering column just to check it was boosting correct then removed it.

 

[leeds_182]

Belt done - £117 all in!

 

[alistairolsen]

Boost wound up yet?

 

[leeds_182]

Boost wound up yet?

Running 12psi now.

BOOOOOOOST!

 

[leeds_182]

Lowering on a budget;

Now running some Swedish rake! Tempted to take one out of the back too but we shall see.

Just one from inside at the moment.

Sounds great

 

[leeds_182]

After looking at some 940s on the net I decided to paint the front grill satin black.

This is how it looked at the start;

I'd spent £2 on the paint from the pound shop! Roughed up the surface with some sand paper and then hit it with a few coats of grey primer;

And then a few coats of satin black.

Refitted and then went out to take a few pictures;

 

[Mr R.]

Fcuking beast. [emoji23]

 

[Cookson]

That back needs to come down a touch. Belting progress though

Running some Swedish drag rake at the moment.

 

[Budgie]

Couple of bags of cement in the boot - perfect.

 

[Brookie.]

Love it. Are you refitting the badge to the grill?

 

[leeds_182]

Love it. Are you refitting the badge to the grill?

Thinking about staying black for a bit but I've still got it. Only broke 3 of the 4 clios getting it off...

 

[Mork of Ork]

Epic car! It would look better with the badge back on the grille imho.
