  3. lol never i could think of better things lol,i wish i lived in usa and pimp my ride would knock on my door then it would be a mad cool bug ,but i just had to make it this way as i love the volvo power house lumps great for high milage and love the sound of this tryed doing a video of the engine and dumpvalve blowing off but the dam cammra just wont record it breaks up and turns the cammra off when i rev the bugger lol,but 500kg(half ton bug shud go well with a std t5 incoolerquick spool up turbo rica 304 ecu 16inch std alloys manual gearbox for those burn outs dumpvalve cools me down (like haveing aircon in the rear lol :rolleyes:
  4. will do matey .shud have some more progress by friday
  5. cool thanks think its ok 4 a first attempt more to rubb and fill 2moz
  6. wow great reply thanks ive had my first attempt at filling sanding and primering 2day a few pics here 4 you all
  7. i did want to mount it at the front but as the main water radiator was slightly smaller then a std t5 radiator i wanted to make sure it had a max amount of airflow to cool the lump/and fitting theincooler would have lead to long airflow pips and longer build up of turbopressure so i thought bugger that and banged it in the rear instead,,a few pics of sanding down started this afternoon? may have a few more 2moz
  8. cheers matey ,more pics up mid week
  9. a few more (SICK PHOTOS HERE ) lol cheers upside down (under the rear of the car) fixed pictures
  10. lol cheers matey ive loads of pics just ask if u wish 2 see any part?
  11. just a volvo chipping amazeed at what hes just read and added this the fastist he seen was 13.5 seconds quarter mile but this gives u some idea ,, 400 bhp per tonne. Say you have 225 bhp in 500 kg car. That's the equivalent to 450 bhp in a 1000 kg car, ie 450 bhp per tonne. If you have 300 bhp in a 500 kg car, that's equivalent to 600 bhp in a 1000 kg car, ie 600 bhp per tonne. On a good turbo and engine, the RICA 304 will produce approx 300 bhp. No joke.(prity amazeing if he hes right)power to weight ratio?
  12. found a early video here of it runing in the yard ,its not very good but u can hear it http://video.tinypic.com/player.php?v=141nnk4 and acouple of my pickup http://video.tinypic.com/player.php?v=rc5z4l http://video.tinypic.com/player.php?v=riadsz hope u like em
