dream3R's R Project

Post 724098 by Dream3r on 2014-07-13 22:55:35

Hi guys, I don't think I've posted my project here yet, so bear with me. :) My car is a MY2005 S60R, flash green, facelift with 46k on the clock. Main mods: Ferrita cat back 3" DP with 200 CEL Magnaflow race cat 750cc injectors Shimmed block 45mm KL-Racing Intercooler IPD Race Spec ARB's AEM Progressive WI Boost gauge on the DIM Custom map by me (estimated 350+ BHP) Plans: Cavalli CTB30VR Turbo Audi RS4 MAF 3 BAR map sensor (and software change to support 5 bar) Map update, aim 420-450 BHP DIM data monitoring (oil temp, iat, lambda, etc augmenting the existing DIM boost display) DEM software update/testing/development. The biggy is getting this new turbo fitted and dialled in once it gets here from the states, I can't wait! I'll get some pics up once I get a chance to give her a wash :)

Good spec list...photos would be nice too :) Have you considered water injection or even ethanol mix? edit Oh sorry just noticed the progressive WI....about the ethanol, I was talking to TME about a 70/30 mix of V-power & E85 fuel

Post 724103 by Dream3r on 2014-07-13 23:08:41

I've added my AEM setup, duh, forgot! I use Tesco 99 which seems to have the best knock protection and has a 5% mix. If I could get E85 at the pump I'd definitely use it.

About time ;) Looking forward to some updates on this. Pics.. Need pics... :D

Pictures please

Post 724129 by jamesy12345 on 2014-07-14 05:17:00

Morrisons used to sell E85 but it was binned through lack of interest.....I had a conversation with Thomas from TME and a guy working at Volvo Marine (Penta), sounds like you can go up 80% petrol/20 ethanol with standard injectors...after than you need bigger injectors for any benefit (which looks like you have) & a map to advance the timing, which you know all about I'm sure

Very interesting looking project, will be following with interest.

Post 726447 by Dream3r on 2014-07-28 13:51:21

OK so the new turbo is on it-s way, here are some pics for you :) Sock comparison I need an external CBV/BOV setup, any nice ideas guys? Ideally I would like a stealth setup. I've got a Forge FMCL007P sitting here which was part of my 20G kit. I think I'll need one with a weldable flange though.

Post 726506 by stribo on 2014-07-28 18:20:07

That's mahoosive.

Post 726507 by Ettienne on 2014-07-28 18:22:45

Have a look at some of the audi's e.g early s4 s6 5 cylinders as they use k24 as upgrades with external waste gates etc, just an idea to help.

Post 726511 by Dream3r on 2014-07-28 18:51:31

[QUOTE=stribo;726506]That's mahoosive.[/QUOTE] Yup! [QUOTE=Ettienne;726507]Have a look at some of the audi's e.g early s4 s6 5 cylinders as they use k24 as upgrades with external waste gates etc, just an idea to help.[/QUOTE] I'll take a look. I guess it means getting a connection from the throttle pipe to the intake, but the throttle pipe is plastic and I can't find anything that will 100% work from a quick look.

Post 726512 by Dream3r on 2014-07-28 18:57:38

There's this one but I fear fitment issues with the airbox http://www.do88.se/en/artiklar/volvo-s60r_v70r-turbo-lower-intercooler-pipe-2003-07.html Do88 reckon it should fit with a 90 degree pipe to fit the BOV on, I'm not sure that is optimal.

Post 726518 by jdavis on 2014-07-28 19:50:19

Can't Graeme Welch sort something for you?

Post 726523 by Dream3r on 2014-07-28 19:55:11

[QUOTE=jdavis;726518]Can't Graeme Welch sort something for you?[/QUOTE] He seems too busy. I don't think he does this stuff anymore either. I think it will have to be the do88 intercooler pipe and get it welded, along with the turbo-maf pipe I have lying here, that's Graeme's but it needs a CBV boss welded on. I can't think of another way.

Post 726532 by T5RatherAmusin on 2014-07-28 20:19:25

It's only a plastic pipe. ..either drill appropriate size hole in it and plastic weld in a tee or cut and add a silicone tee.... Fwiw do88 do full diverter kit

Post 726621 by Wobbly Dave on 2014-07-28 23:59:33

I used a TIAL QR and recirculated the BOV gases back towards the intake (post MAF). Turbosmart also do a recirc value. TIAL is a good quality product & I chose it because it was a bit cheaper than the turbosmart. [ATTACH=CONFIG]25962[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]25961[/ATTACH] I will eventually get a top pipe and put the weld flange (which comes in the kit) on it. They also come in a range of colours inc. black.

Post 726624 by Dream3r on 2014-07-29 00:20:48

I've bagged a turbosmart one. I really want to keep the OTE pipe stock... I

Post 727092 by Dream3r on 2014-07-31 11:30:05

So it's either weld a 25mm nipple to the OTE pipe, or buy a metal IC->Throttle pipe and weld that. Would either spot be any better than the other? I'm thinking of just doing the OTE pipe now.

Post 727096 by M-R-P on 2014-07-31 12:36:30

Some say the closer to the throttle the better but I know of a few people running their BOV on the OTE pipe with no problems at all. Down to personal preference I suppose. The air in the throttle pipe is gonna be cooler than the air in the OTE pipe so might be better for the BOV to keep the hot stuff away.

Post 727098 by Dream3r on 2014-07-31 12:49:35

Thinking about it I agree about the throttle pipe and air temps, also the IAT sensor is downstream of the said pipe, it makes sense to recirc air that has just been measured, rather than vice versa.

Post 727099 by M-R-P on 2014-07-31 12:53:54

errr.... yeah, that too :)

Post 727101 by Dream3r on 2014-07-31 13:23:59

Then again, it seems good enough for IPD. Too many choices!!!!

Post 727106 by M-R-P on 2014-07-31 13:55:50

Let time and money guide you and do whatever is cheapest ;)

Post 727107 by partsforvolvos.com on 2014-07-31 13:57:41

I thought it was closest to the throttle body to keep the air moving in the same direction up toward the intake. if you fit the valve mid way along, the air coming out of the turbo toward the valve is ok, but the air that has already past the valve could flow backwards defeating the object of keeping the turbo free wheeling. obviously an engine requires intake air to idle off throttle, but its only a fraction of full flow. for the same reason having a recirc valve on the turbo is ok because it prevents the stalling and can freewheel. it comes down to available space sometimes hence the do88 lower pipe not being able to be used with the original airbox and probably the same reason for the ipd pipe having it on the ote.

Post 727108 by oblark on 2014-07-31 14:07:38

My bov is mounted on the turbo to intercooler pipe, it runs and boosts perfectly ok . For a bit of bed time ready look up my thread "pros and cons of dumping hot air"

Post 727109 by Dream3r on 2014-07-31 14:12:08

I only want to-do it once, hence wanting something welded. I guess the OTE will be the easiest. The do88 pipe, I can't understand it, 38mm outlet when their BOV is 25mm. I guess you don't have to weld the bung so it's in the way of the airbox snorkel, but I guess this was only an issue with the R style airbox, hense why do88's is like that. Thank guys.

Post 727302 by Dream3r on 2014-08-01 16:30:03

OK so I'm going for a custom throttle pipe with bov outlet, courtesy of Graeme. Thanks for the input guys. :)

UPDATE time :) New mods: Cavalli - 'drop-in' Turbo CTB30VR GWE - Custom 3" ETM Pipe with the relevant connections for WI and RECIRC valves, powder coated black GWE - Custom 3" Turbo Inlet pipe Turbo Smart RECIRC/BOV piston operated valve. It's running and pulled like a train and popped a hose, after some surgery everything seems ok but we noted it had also blown a CV boot, so another thing to-do, tomorrow! Once everything is 100% the tuning will start, but I'll be limited by the stock clutch at present. :( Turbo - sounds like a bus turbo, weird super charger noise at low RPM, I'll get used to it, no real data yet until the mechanics are 100% but it seems to spool at around 3k then almost instantly be at 1.5 bar. Thanks to Graeme and Shem for their help. (UNDERSTATEMENT) There were a LOT of fitting issues (drop in part needs work for VBAND users) , but hats of to the supplier for making it right so far, at present the OTE doesn't fit very well but that is being replaced. Next is clutch, has to be I think. Full spec for the sake of completeness: Shimmed 2.5l block New cambelt 47k miles ipd ARBS Stainless brake lines New stock Volvo pads and discs Mehle droplinks and top hats Prosport boost gauge in CF pillar mount 3" DP with 200 CPI magnaflow cat feritta Catback 17" pegs with a full size spare.

Oil, Plugs, Filters, etc. Turbosmart dual bov with trumpet removed. Black silicone! Angle gear has been out and collar looks good. TODO Clutch upgrade. Many many map revisions. Uprated oem tcv (new pierburg oem design). cv boot. Fix some broke interior plastics. good clean! RS4 maf with custom airbox adapter. Snabb OTE pipe and adapters (might powder coat this first). Maybe a 3" custom zorst system. GWE did the custom stainless piping (powder coated black), and omg, it's a work of art!

Intercooler Outlet to 3" ETM PIPE, recirc boss on the 3" pipe, post ETM, sent back to the intake, post MAF. Seemed like the best place to put it to me.

Post 745610 by Dream3r on 2014-10-30 13:44:30

It's oddly completely silent, more so than stock! I've still got some playing/setting to-do with it. I can also stick on the trumpet and give the maccyD crew something to talk about, whilst over-fueling ;) Turbo sounds like a jet turbine though.

Looks busy in there John, you sure you know how it all goes back in? :P I remember Graeme developing those pipes (and the language he used to describe the process lol). Tidy work that.

Post 745684 by Dream3r on 2014-10-31 11:26:15

That was GWE's fitting of the pipe, his pic. I'm comfortable around there now, but that's it, lol. I'm going to be mapping and adjusting my BOV now, much work ahead, possibly months until I'm happy.

Post 745728 by Dream3r on 2014-10-31 17:59:04

Map v2 (5 bar Cavalli) Silly maf readings, past stock limits, but still reading ;) suggesting 400-420 bhp Loads of work to-do still it's pretty raw the boost control, the turbo seems capable of 1.6 bar at just over 3k.

Post 746710 by Dream3r on 2014-11-05 22:28:49

Now on v12c, getting there, car is unbelievably fast! Maf is now basically saturated, oh the joys. I'm working on a MAF adapter for the RS4 maf and housing, if any one want's one let me know.

Post 746758 by Wobbly Dave on 2014-11-06 12:58:02

how big is the MAF housing?

Post 746763 by Dream3r on 2014-11-06 13:09:40

83mm I believe. It will max out at around 1700 kg/hr, more importantly. The adapters will be for the R airbox though.

Post 747399 by Dream3r on 2014-11-10 11:15:32

V12g and power is probably a little too high. As you can see the maf is well saturated in 3rd. Approximate power is 460bhp but the tune is far from finished. ;) I am running a little too much boost at present, I'll be de-tuning it a bit. Below you can see the end of the S60R MAF ... I'm guessing 1400 kg/hr by the end was the real amount going by other values.

Post 748046 by Dream3r on 2014-11-14 17:37:31

OK so I got hold of a spare airbox and attacked it with a dremmel (thanks peacey) 83 mm RS4 MAF now test fitted, managed to retain the stock screw holes with the maf offset slightly. Can't think of an issue with that can anyone?

Post 748047 by mike 850 on 2014-11-14 17:41:28

looks great, my maf is sat vertical and runs fine

Post 749140 by Dream3r on 2014-11-23 15:46:36

Bit more progress, filter turned up (it's off a hummer) just fits in the airbox with mortifications ;) Thinking of an extra cold air feed but we shall see.

Post 749373 by Dream3r on 2014-11-24 18:34:17

OK so stock maf cavalli tune/map is done, I had a good A + B road blast today and was very impressed by the lack of lag and brutal power, picture on the owner of an V8 Audi S4 as I went screaming past like he was going backwards- Priceless! Will have to get her rolling roaded.

Post 749693 by Dream3r on 2014-11-26 22:34:32

OK so I thought I could write a quick review for anyone thinking for going for the Cavalli turbo. I've only done around 500 miles so think of this as a first impression/inside in-to it all, long term reliability, etc, is an unknown. The install was a slight PITA with a few things going wrong and snapped bolts, but we got there, credit goes to GWE and Shem - thank you very much guys. Regarding the turbo, I finished my stock maf map after a few weeks of mapping in my spare time and 1.5 bar at 3k is possible with this turbo, which I think is quite impressive, and it will hold that and more to the redline no problem. Around town it does feel a little laggier than the K24 but acceptable, and I am very glad I went for something which spools very fast (triple ball bearing). It will outflow the K24 @ 5K no problem at all. I don't have any dyno figures yet, hopefully soon if there is a meet, but my target for 420 has been at least met going by my maf figures. I'm currently running 1.5 bar or so from 3k to 7k but due the to maf saturation am still taking it easy with timing etc. I hope to get the RS4 maf installed soon but am awaiting on more parts. It will saturate the S60R maf, in third, so beware, datalog the car if tuning :lol: A1 single + dual driving the car is an absolute monster, it's overtaking capability is now staggering (previously is was more than adequate on the K24). This is where is makes a difference for me and it puts a smile on my face :) Previously the traction control light was a rarity in the R, but I have noticed it kicking in a bit when planting the throttle up-hill, when wet, not not really surprising, extra care will need to be taken in the wet, tyres are still good but with some inside wear due the failed wishbones :( I have a mapping bit of road locally, which is slightly uphill for and my 'waypoint' is a walk over bridge, which I use for my 'trap speed', for lack of a better phrase, it's 10 mph quicker there than the K24, I also suspect that acceleration at this point is increasing exponentially over the K24 as it has normally been outflowed by this point. As with anything brand new I'm continuing to keep an eye on things like oil and pipes. Hopefully I will be able to give you all a long term reliability report post Combe, assuming I can make it. Strangely, most of my 'pops and bangs' that come with a stock S60R are gone, I am putting it down to the CBV at this point as I have no idea otherwise, I am running an external recirc now. As a last note, Chris Wubbenhorst, of Cavalli Turbo has been exceptional in customer service so far. Many, many questions always answered, despite it being weekends, differing timezones, etc. Overall, so far, I am a very happy camper. Oh and the turbo makes a supercharger whine until warm, when lightly spooling/coming out of vacuum.

Post 749752 by M-R-P on 2014-11-27 13:21:38

The stainless filter went a while ago, it looked good and sounded nice but as soon as it got damp, it rusted (stainless my arse lol) it's got a cheap fleabay twincone filter on it now. TBH (bearing in mind I don't check things like AITs etc) the only filter I've found that makes any kind of difference to performance was a Blitz Sonic shielded cone filter and that pile of crap cost me 18 whp on back to back runs (yeah - an 18whp drop in power with it on!)

Post 749758 by Dream3r on 2014-11-27 13:32:51

I'm having fun shoe horning my mahoosive K&N in-to the airbox so am contemplating running it straight on-to the RS4 MAF housing for the time being....

Post 749762 by M-R-P on 2014-11-27 13:41:06

As long as you can get clean airflow to it, it should be usable. I took the rubber seal off the windscreen scuttle panel to allow better airflow through the top of the engine bay. However - that allows hot air from the bay to enter the cabin via the vent in the scuttle panel. Not fun in the summer lol.

Post 749764 by Dream3r on 2014-11-27 13:56:26

I'm going to bore out the airbox as much as possible at th e weekend then try and get the hoses fitted. Fun, fun :) Problem is I made a 90 mm id neck and the audi maf isn't made 90mm id on the filter side, it's just anything (90 mm +/-) as they use panel filters. I can't get a jubilee clip around it as the screw holder is in the way, I'll tickle it to see if it works. Then the filter is slightly off centre, making the 4 ply piping difficult. Might have to resort to some ducting.

Post 757086 by Dream3r on 2015-01-23 13:30:56

Not had an update for a while. I've had a chance to do a little mapping and logging amidst the madness that Jan normally brings me. 60-100 is measured at around 5.3/4 seconds with the new turbo, staying in 3rd, not bad for an 1.7 ton R! I think my previous best was 5.9 with the KKK. This was in third, fourth I expect the figures to be better still but I can't think I ever measured fourth with the KKK in that manner, or at least I'd have to look through ooodles of log files to find it. I've also further fine tuned the injectors, which I'm happy with the results, lambda 1 at idle with no stutter and very smooth part throttle around town and I'm still within 1% of factory fuel trims on my old greens. Happy :) I'll keep this updated if anyone is interested. Must get the RS4 maf fitted and a suitable filter found.... Let's hope the turbo holds up for the long term, since I'm the first one in the UK to try it :)

Spoke to ITG's sales dept. Only airbox with 102mm OD neck is the aluminium ones. Which is just as well as the carbon ones are not cheap and would make me probably make some lame excuse and stick one on the plastic.

[QUOTE=Dream3r;757086]Not had an update for a while. I've had a chance to do a little mapping and logging amidst the madness that Jan normally brings me. 60-100 is measured at around 5.3/4 seconds with the new turbo, staying in 3rd, not bad for an 1.7 ton R! I think my previous best was 5.9 with the KKK. This was in third, fourth I expect the figures to be better still but I can't think I ever measured fourth with the KKK in that manner, or at least I'd have to look through ooodles of log files to find it. I've also further fine tuned the injectors, which I'm happy with the results, lambda 1 at idle with no stutter and very smooth part throttle around town and I'm still within 1% of factory fuel trims on my old greens. Happy :) I'll keep this updated if anyone is interested. Must get the RS4 maf fitted and a suitable filter found.... Let's hope the turbo holds up for the long term, since I'm the first one in the UK to try it :)[/QUOTE] Hello John I have some questions for you regarding your mapping/tuning.

Thanks Greg[/QUOTE] Hi Greg, I'll post any updates on my car here. Regarding DTP's car, it's nothing to-do with me anymore, I notified him that I was removing my services and offered him a refund with help to get his car in a state where it can go to another tuner, no reply unfortunately :( so that ship has now sailed. DTP's map isn't the same as mine that is bad information, and neither is the hardware, my map has knock light, map switching, and is also fairly different boost profile and is actually finshed, plus mine has a stock head and his has a 2.4 T5 engine installed with different rods, different recirc valve, etc, his was timed at 5.6 secs (iirc??) when we were mapping/logging (he has all of that data), this was before the head came off though, again ask him! I think that is about as much as I can say on that subject. We are designing/implementing a new MAF setup before things further with my car. TBH, it's fast enough, I might not bother, or I may decide on a forged engine build and go mental, who knows. Injectors - I'm running DEKA's 630cc @ 3BAR. I've been extremely busy with other things so not much time to devote to it over the past few months, apart from that it's getting its 3k oil change and also a full PCV replacement. Also, possibly, needs a O/S CV boot by the sounds of things, it's over 10 now :( I've got to do some programming for the -04 R models for someone (5 bar PID controlled file etc) so my car will take a back seat for a few months whilst I complete that work. Lastly, Greg, I'd rather not pollute my project thread with other peoples problems. I suggest a new thread. Also, the link to T5D5 sadly doesn't work for me, I have had my viewing, posting/replying and reading rights removed, but haven't been banned. I may look like I am ignoring things but I simply can't see them, plus I still have a habit of tapping in the URL which logs me in-to the site with zero privileges. This may also give the impression that I've been on but am ignoring posts or PM's.

Maybe it would be best hearing of DTP's issues direct from him rather than someone who has no connection to the transaction that went on between john and dave. Speaking from my own experience of johns work his customer service has been great he has taken my comments on how the car feels to drive and looked at the logs to identify what would cause my descriptions and adjusted the map to suit. I only have a limited knowlede of what has gone on between john and dave do wont comment any further on this also can i suggest this be moved to a new thread as it has nothing to do with johns project

About datalogging, it's 100% needed to tune anything with an ecu in my opinion. Be it with VIDA or custom software. The reason I wrote my own is that VIDA is very limited when you can get by cylinder retard values by going the custom route.

Post 759064 by Dream3r on 2015-02-08 22:45:39

Long day today, me and GWE had some work todo. He replaced my pcv breather system, cleaned throttle body etc, ended up being a bit of a nightmare. On the newer pcv heated pipes there is a small banjo eyelet which vents to the inlet manifold next to the alternator, well I bought a new bolt for this after speaking with rufe and unfortunately it had been deleted by someone previously. Ok we thought, let's put it back to stock but the breather banjo hole had been retapped to a different thread! It never rains but it pours! So we blanked off ze banjo and fitted the inlet manifold, but on the last and most inaccessible bolt we lost a spanner, only to be found after again removing the inlet manifold! Good thing is my valves are clean as a whistle, and I have a new pcv breather system on a 10 year old car. Still to do is oil change and ptc valve clean which we forgot about. Thanks to GWE he's handy on the tools! Has anyone deleted this fitting I mention should I go to the hassle of reinstating it? I think I'll grab a banjo bolt of the correct thread and try to refit it in-situ , but there's not a lot of room next to the alternator there.

Post 759153 by Wobbly Dave on 2015-02-09 16:26:28

Post 759269 by Wobbly Dave on 2015-02-09 23:11:41

yeah the little breather thing came off - the one that runs to the PCV and caused a long term fuel trim issue because of the air leak - not to mention how much a PITA they are to get the clips on the other pipes or if you decide to do the banjo bolt last - just the lack of access is tricky/ fiddly.

Post 759279 by Dream3r on 2015-02-09 23:27:37

It's a vac pipe isn't it. Blanking it will fubar the pcv or am I Barking up the wrong tree?

Post 759285 by Wobbly Dave on 2015-02-09 23:39:20

yes I believe so and it also carries water from below the t-stat around to the insertion point just above the crank position sensor. This is the photo/diagram I have of it from when I was doing my 1st build up back in early 2013. jubilee/pipe 12 connects to the t-stat

Post 759288 by Dream3r on 2015-02-09 23:53:49

Well that both sucks and solves my pcv problem. Thanks mate. It's bolt 11 next to thermostat that is missing/blanked and manifold retapped.

Post 759289 by Wobbly Dave on 2015-02-10 00:04:11

I hope you get it sorted. if you don't have a breather from the inlet then you'll have to blank off part of the PCV - effects unknown. It may be just an efficiency thing but I am guessing it uses the vacuum to some extent?

Post 759292 by Dream3r on 2015-02-10 00:14:20

Seems like it helps suck into oil trap from your diagram. It's a non return banjo as well

Post 759296 by Harvey on 2015-02-10 06:48:11

The banjo only works at tick over as that's the only time there's a vacuum present at the manifold.to suck the crankcase to a vacuum.

Post 759300 by Dream3r on 2015-02-10 07:26:36

Which is my problem, plus light loads. On boost I assume the vac at the intake is enough.

Well after a few ups and downs in the family I've bee 'told' it's to be sold when the new car arrvies lol, so it's going back to stock and sold, mileage @ 49k with cambelt being done, so with the remedial work complete it hopefully should sell. Edit the ££££ who blanked off the banjo on the inlet manifold caused high pcv pressure at idle, not high enough to cause issues but I ended up changing the whole manifold..

My original reply was heavily edited on the locked thread about a lying Dr Ashok Samuel Paul . The email you edited out was the truth, not his manipulated version on T5D5. Dr Ashok has been registered as a Trauma and orthopaedic surgery From, no idea why such an outstanding member of the community would spill lies about me, someone protected under the 2010 act... I guess I'll find out.

(If the other party in the email wants to grant its publication then I'm fine with it being posted)

Post 794324 by S70T5Chris on 2016-01-03 18:50:41

Well in response to your other post on the closed thread, I have tried to call you 8, or is it 9 times today? Not answered or responded to once. I await your excuse for why, of which I am sure there will be many. So since you won't answer the phone... As I stated previously, I have always kept my mouth shut on the forums. And off the forums I was the ONLY one from T5D5 who tried to give you benefit of doubt and attempt to build some sort of reconcile between you and everyone else. My advice to you on our last conversation was to drop the lot, the ecu crap, the forums, the car ££££, all of it. None of it is worth the agro that you have and are putting yourself through. But you seem insistent on self destruction. Bringing Dave's name into it after he had passed was a step too far for me (come on, you knew all about Dave, you we're trying to buy parts from his car before he died ffs. So how you can say you didn't know is once again, shameful), I couldn't contain my feelings any longer, and if that upset you then I'm sorry, but you only have yourself to blame. As for calling me a keyboard warrior or a troll or I'm being influenced by others, well, you obviously don't know me very well at all John. I'll tell anyone what I think to their face, over the phone or on a public forum it makes no odds to me. No one will ever influence my opinions on anything, I think for myself and if you think I am that weak minded then more fool you. I was the last ally you had on the opposite side of them fence. I have no interest or desire to get involved, discuss or debate anything to do with any of this crap ever again. But I ask you, please, don't bring up Dave's name again. Perhaps one day, if you ever get your head straight, we will meet again and put all this crap to bed over a beer. But I won't hold my breath.

Chris, have you changed your number, I don't pick up unknown numbers on days off (work phone). That's exactly when I found out then mate, as i was looking for a DP if memory serves me right. Anyway this is OT. I'll ring you tomorrow buddy to iron things out. Best done face 2 face or on the phone. Tonight I'm going to be helping over on another forum peacefully. @Santa, go and look at the post I already edited out the real emails...... Removing the email gave the post no justification at all IMO. Go ahead and put it back fine with me. edit, just re-read Chris last ally, fence? We at war? Who is the opposition? I have no problem about speaking about Dave it's life mate people die, I shared a room with him at Brizzle and was at his house socially on occasion. Maybe it's because I'm not religious, but you can't stop me saying Dave mate, spade is a spade I am like, much like yourself. Last, I said I didn't know he was ill not till Peacy told me when he was parting his car. Shem/Peacey rang me when he passed on Sat 14th, the same day I had to kick my cheating bird out of the house if I remember. I just tried to call and left a message buddy. x2 message left

Hi Santa is that a site rule or EU law? No one was personally identifiable iirc? If the real email can't be posted then I can't reply to the good doctors false accusations lol fair enough, least you seen the truth I guess. Anyway back OT once the Haldex SW for the Americans is done, it's going that should be soon! I just wish it was switchable like my Audi sports diff as a tail happy R isn't brilliant like the Audi is currently anyway.

That's the car on loan for few weeks, then the big decision to sell or keep, as ,much as it annoys me I think I'll sell. Anyone got any input on price, I was thinking £6750 ono, new clutch, 200 cell Dp, MOT, greens, and collar plus a fair bit more. 49k Flash Green 05 with reverse cam, sat nav etc, pcv done, new tyres and front arms recently too. Shem gave it a full bill of health. Plugs changed every 20 k oil, changed once in summer and end of winter Oh KL interooler (AiT's never above 30c), Simmed liners, braided lines, new front shocks, new Swedish 200cpi sports cat, new inlet manifold as well and cleaned and waxed by shem. No discoloration in exhaust manifold, no map codes, one for AQS thats it and everything thoroughly checked and serviced according to Volvo in my ownership some dealer some me. If it goes for asking I'll throw in a map switching map on it, stock, linear boost, or TD mode lol Any input?
