I'm on call for work this weekend, so since I more or less can't leave my house, I think I'm gonna try and swap all my vacuum hoses in the 850R for iPd's silicone hoses. I hope I can put them all back together the right way....

I read this and thought: "How are you thinking you should do that if you're on call?!" Then realized I'm on Volvospeed and NOT rx7club.com and you won't be dealing with a million vacuum line. Consider yourself lucky. If you saw the "Rat's Nest" under the UIM on an FD RX-7 you'd get a migraine. I much prefer vacuum systems on piston engines, or non-sequential turbocharged cars

Black R back from detail. FUCKING AMAZING.

So this thread is a continuation of what we do all day but are including the VS community now ?

yeah that is pretty much it, for all who are not "Lucky" enough to be at our shop all day!

Haha, Glad you guys got them. There are a few good shots in there huh...
Yeah, I've met him a few times at GTG's. He's a pretty cool guy. His car's pretty nice too, if you like S40's that is.

cool guy, you should ask him if everything is good with his car now! plus matt im/we are not on SS very much, is there anyway you can ask the guys who posted or a MOD to edit the posts that have prices in them? it would be helpful. were cool with helping people but giving everybody and their mothers the same price doesnt work so much, haha. we have no issue with personall referals though

Are you talking about the HOVA one piece angel eye headlights?

The following is pulled from Adam(oreo)'s thread

Yep, and than ks guys, i knew they were not going to fit without modification. ill do this over the weekend.

Pics? And I have my work vehicle with me over the weekends so I can leave the 850 taken apart, and come back to it when I get home.

Gotcha covered and you also has PM. Lot's of S40 (relatively speaking) in the PNW so you guys might see a few more show up from time to time. AJ and KP were very happy with you guys and your work. They've have highly recommended Seattle Volvo to the S40 guys in the greater Seattle area.

Ok how are you on call ...... I am confused ....

I have to be out the door within 15 minuets if I get a call from work. When I'm done with that assignment (anywhere from 30 min to 2 hours or so), I get to go back home. So I'll be working on the Vacuum lines on my down time.

[The Big Tuna]

finished headlights in 30 minutes. for sure not direct fit, but very easy. its makes it much easier when you talk to the correct people, haha

brought the new family XC home yesterday...no smoke at all (for danny and brian), first time dad saw the car, so he was stoked. it was exactly one year ago yeasterday that i flipped/totalled his car which i thought was very fitting to hand him over the keys to a new car. now to just register it and put some VS touches to it

Single, triple? How much and when can I get it from you?

triple in black. how much do you wanna pay? and it will be in my car on tuesday! so pick it up whenever. haha

(In between Danny projects of course.)

they look good adam

i might need some of that porsche carpet hookup from ya first though, i haven't got over those, haha

did you every finish that tow hook cover?

Where'd you take it??? I still want my M3 detailed

northwest auto salon. danny should have taken a lot of before and after pics to do it justice

What up digitizer?

iphone strikes yet again.. borken iphone's

thanks again matt. very glad to hear that they were happy. its funny cause we have never seen any of these guys up here and they are even on the forums. tell them to get the F off of swedespeed. hahahahahaha

Weird, when I had my kit it fit in without a problem. What kit are you using? I'm using/used a VVME kit with mine.

Here's what I've been messin with in my free time. shhhhhhhhhhhh..... prototyping iPd billet pedals. Don't have any idea if they'll ever make it to production, just chatted with Chris down at the garage sale, and he seemed interested in a sample set, soooooooooo.
(Yes, I know it's a horrible pic. Thanks iPhone)

Nice work sir ! Hopefully IPD puts this into production. One of the interior pieces IPD doesn't have for the Vo's.

Went to the dealer for a few clips and what not for the manual swap and I ran into them while they were buying it....
Very sharp looking caR.

Danny, I'm always down to follow Marshall to his Dad's, and rattle can it Ti Grey so it would look like every other R...
