Mesoam Posted September 17, 2011 Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 Looking forward to driving it to work on monday. I think that's a bit more of a reasonable shake down cruise :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gdizzle Posted September 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2011 I did it last year too.. The drive to h20 wasn't the first long drive, I put a couple hundred miles on before the trip. :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gdizzle Posted September 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2011 Master Cyl is bad. <_< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lookforjoe Posted September 20, 2011 Report Share Posted September 20, 2011 Filled the "new" radiator with coolant it's swiss cheese, leaks everywhere. Love being ripped off. Really stoked right now. Can't you make a 240 radiator work instead? '75 240 still had the b20 motor.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brick-a-brac Posted September 21, 2011 Report Share Posted September 21, 2011 Greg -- you may have to bite the bullet and get a new radiator from VP Auto. They are pricey, but no more so than a genuine Volvo radiator for your T5M and you won't have to worry about pinhole core leaks. Do you need a master cylinder? I may be able to help.

gdizzle Posted September 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2011 I've got a rebuild kit for the master cyl coming today. There is a shop locally that recores for 250-300. I'm not worried about being oem, so I'll probably retrofit. I have the aluminum radiator that is too tall, so I may lean it forward and reangle the inlet/outlet tubes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leo850T5 Posted September 21, 2011 Report Share Posted September 21, 2011 Gottis! They look perfect on the car, especially with the gold on green. I like where this is going... Also good call on removing the front bumper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
