  1. That seems to be the general sentiment about them. I don't know if I could personally ever get over the mental block that they look like they would tip over. 😬
  2. Thank you! With the rubber blocks I wouldn't be as worried about it (probably still wouldn't though). You can actually see in the one picture my BMW has reinforcements around the pinch weld that help support it. But I would be so hesitant to lift or support the 850 from the pinch welds.
  3. For what it's worth, I got these instead of the quick jack: You can see how much height is left on the jack stand. It says they have a full height of 24". They are extremely sturdy. I was under the car wrestling the exhaust and transmission and never felt the car wiggle. They're fantastic.
  4. I was really considering one of those, but I'm not sure I'd ever feel confident under one. They look like they could tip really easily.
  5. It does for me, too. I guess I was thinking more in terms of the 99.9% of people that don't do google searches that way and would thought that VS not coming up in searches isn't helping the forum stay alive. I also don't know how the results are generated on a search and why some sites come up and others don't. But it's weird. Volvospeed used to always come up first when I would search volvo related things. Now it doesn't at all.
  6. Are archived topics not searchable on VS? Now that I have the 850 and have been doing more 850 related google searches, Volvospeed rarely ever comes up. When I search on the site, the only hits are typically in the off-topic thread and is unrelated. For exampled, today I was trying to confirm the wires needed for splicing in a trailer harness. VS never came up on google searches. And when I search the forum, nothing comes up. But I'm pretty confident that someone has talked about a trailer harness on here before. Doesn't make sense when the forum is dying and google searches don't bring you here.
  7. I already caught that. Sneaky of them.
  8. Anyone have the ability to run a carfax for me? I'd rather not pay $40 for one.
  9. I didn't route mine through the air box and never had any noise issues. Also, my experience was the best way to bleed the clutch was with 2 people. A vacuum bleeder didn't not do it.
  10. What shape is the suspension in? Looking for a refresh for my 850. Shocks, struts, strut mounts, spring seats, shock mounts, control arms. I know they're used, but my 850 is an A to B car so all I'm looking for is stuff to keep it running.
  11. Volvo moccasins? Would they be appropriate for say...June 2018?
