bmdubya1198 Posted May 10, 2022 Report Share Posted May 10, 2022 It probably is a 6.5. I don't think I have a 6.5, but I have a 5.5 and that was way too small. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quiksilver Posted May 13, 2022 Report Share Posted May 13, 2022 New alternator, cabin and engine air filter, and faulty door lock actuator replaced with JY unit (door microswitch failed) for the Saffron R. JY door lock actuator was pulled from a 98 V70 T5 with cloth seats but a factory autodimming rear view mirror; might've pulled that. Finally charges the battery and engages the alarm.

Factory auto dimming mirror in a non-C70 P80? That's not something I've seen before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmsgltr Posted May 16, 2022 Report Share Posted May 16, 2022 speaking of autodimming - mine is brokeded, anybody got one around? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ihatespeedbumps Posted May 17, 2022 Report Share Posted May 17, 2022 Recently sent my OTE pipe to Snabb to have a BOV flange welded. Installed that, along with the new metal section of intake tube and Snabb intake. Pardon the dirty engine bay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought one of the original Snabb FMIC kits way back on the initial group buy, so there was no provision for an external BOV at the time. Since then SNABB has released a kit where this is an option. So I sent my OTE pipe to Kristian and had him weld the flange on. I also purchased a Tial QRJ from him as well as the updated metal insert for the Snabb intake pipe that has the 1" boss for the recirc. hose. The recirc hose was sourced from Snabb too. I stole this photo from Snabb's website that gives you a clearer picture of the setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmdubya1198 Posted May 18, 2022 Report Share Posted May 18, 2022 I still need to source an OTE pipe for my RIP kit on my V70R. Kristian is backed up indefinitely, so I'll have to figure it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said that at this time, he doesn't know when they'll be able to get moving on production. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He told me previously that he'd be able to do it, I would have to bring the car to him though, and I don't know when I'd be able to do that. I have plenty of other cars to drive, but I'd likely install the parts I have and trailer it up to him. Gotta find the time to do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He only does P80 stuff for in-person customers. A buddy of mine had him make a downpipe for his '99 V70R and it's beautiful. He mostly focuses on P2R and P3.
