Guest durty Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 That's the plan. Have some 13 inch widened steels to put on. Just need to swap tyres on them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest durty Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 I forgot you even had this! So did I! Been parked round the back of our house and barely ever see it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest HighLUX Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 I see you use the oil leak technique of anti rust protection Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest durty Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 Yeah. All the leaks are fixed now except for one which is the front cam seal. Have one on the way then will give it a clean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sparkle Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Looks good man! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest lowlancer Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 Looks wayyyy better. Paint hatch on the list? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest durty Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 Would be nice to paint the hatch but need to fix it first as the gas strut mounts have rusted out. And needs to be straightened/bogged. Before I do any of that though I would fix the rust in the sill and bottoms f the doors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MichaelJFox Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 Haha this thing actually looks pretty sweet like that. Well done, gotta love a Volvo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest logan360 Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Got a long way to go yet bro. need some 16's like mine. http://sphotos-h.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-prn1/778929_10151226712641507_1758118445_o.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest durty Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 haha, Thats really not the look Im going for though. Dont like 16s and 17s on old (ish) cars Prefer low as fuck on small wide wheels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest logan360 Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 I've brought some 13" Luc luc's from mark 2's if you want. look like Leo's except where they have 2 spokes these have 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest durty Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Wouldnt be wide enough I dont think. next set of wheels will be an even wider set of widened steels most likely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest logan360 Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 I'm going 205/45/16 on the back with no mud guard. its gonna look nuts. plus. I'm buying a new turbo Dr one the 85's. so I'm gonna have a spare TD04 looking for a car to call home. i may just have two spare exhaust manifold's too. hmmm......

Guest durty Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Yeah, I have a Td04 and manifold etc that I am possibly putting on this thing but need to do ECU etc and would get expensive quickly Mine is running 175/60/13 on the front and 185/60/13 on the rear. I have no space to go any wider than that on the rear without a bit of work flaring guards etc And the front has the smallest amount of travel. The arch gap in the photo below is my total amount of travel before bottoming out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest logan360 Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 You'd need to do a lot more than a comp. drill oil and water lines, run computer. that'd be safe for maybe 5 pound. anything above that would need lower compression depending on year change to th stronger conrod's for anything above 7 pound i think it is.

Guest durty Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 I would be more than happy with 5 psi for a start. Don't need water lines, not hard to sort out oil feed and drain. ECU would be the only thing i would struggle with as electronics are black magic to me. High comp turbo is way sweeter anyway than lowering compression Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest logan360 Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 See I'm the opposite. Adjusting the afr would be easy for me. Drilling the lines etc would be the hard part. Anyway i could run high compression all day long. I've got 4 spare piston's lol. I've looked into this a lot before and thought na too much work. but having a spare turbo i may just do it.

Guest durty Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 I personally think a 5 cylinder whiteblock conversion would be way sweeter. NA with ITBs Swoon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest logan360 Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 There's a guy doing it on v3m. its not cheap ay. everything under the frame has to be redone. EVERYTHING. but it would be f###ing awesome. you wouldn't wanna sell that TD04 would you? I still need another turbo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest durty Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Nah, planning to keep it for a rainy day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
