Then will you be wrighting out the for sale advert bud?

I write them out the day I get the car - then I just add the bits I’ve done to the advert as I go on.

 

[leeds_182]

No more tow bar.

The thing weights so much I reckon I’ve shaved a tenth of the 0-60 time.

Now at 25s.

Apart from the engine difference between the two - is there a big variation in terms of trim level between the Volvos?

I think you have the leather models, heated seats, air con etc. This models pretty basic but my other was fully loaded.

 

[Donny_Dog]

Without the tow bar, it's even higher at the back. Try and put one of your kids in the arch gap, just for the lolz

 

[leeds_182]

Coilies arrived.

 

[Daz...]

Are they what you put on the other brick?

 

[leeds_182]

Are they what you put on the other brick?

No, I had shocks and cut springs on that one. I’ve gone upmarket.

 

[leeds_182]

Ave it!

 

[Krarl]

Had my earphones in for that

Now I’ve got a stiffy so well done

 

[leeds_182]

Representing

 

[leeds_182]

Few shots from tonight’s clean. I’m just accepting the ride height now as it’s a daily after all!

 

[craigyt]

You still got the coilies?

 

[leeds_182]

You still got the coilies?

Nah, sold them. I decided it wasn’t worth putting £600 suspension on a £1200 car.

Mot tomorrow. Should have been around two weeks ago - whoops...

 

[craigyt]

Ah!

 

[bashracing]

Not much chance of getting pulled by the local fuzz though and Vosa are non existent in your area so it's all good ?

 

[leeds_182]

Pre mot wash.

 

[bashracing]

Looks a pass to me, where do you want the cert sending?

 

[leeds_182]

Mot passed! Whoop!

 

[White16valver]

WTF

Isn't this the one you massively modded the fuelling on? lol

Massively? Turned the screw up a little but that’s it. What turns up can always be turned down.

And then back up again....

Has craigs hand recovered from the last time you wanted it turning up ?

 

[Djw John]

Postman turned up today you mean?

 

[leeds_182]

His hand has. Not sure about his finger - it’s still in the turbo.

 

[leeds_182]

It was a genuine test! I don’t do mots by post when I take my kids in the car.

 

[Djw John]

Yeah tbf I'm the same. I want to pass but I still want it all checked over by fresh eyes.

If it’s got 4 wheels on I think everything is ok - that’s why mots are essential for me!

 

[Djw John]

Alright show off with your 4 wheels.

 

[bill]

New wheels on.

 

[R3k1355]

Wheels look ace, but it needs lowering some.

Not really worth the hassle as I’d have to replace the rear shocks and springs and front springs. Ends up been expensive which defeats the object of the car really.

 

[R3k1355]

So does washing it all the time with stuff from Auto Allure

 

[White16valver]

Is there a guide for which Volvo estates are the good ones? I see some listed and think they'll sell quickly 'because cool', but then they sit around for ages - is there only a few decent ones to choose??

 

[bashracing]

Prices have gone silly in the past 5 - 10 years, I used to pay £500 for excellent condition 940 turbos before they were ''scene'',
but basically
Anything with a turbo and in good condition for the old 700 or 900 series
Anything not rotten in the old 200 series
Anything with 5 or more cylinders and a turbo on newer stuff
Estates are always better than saloons, ALWAYS !

Because I like a clean car?
