theForgottenone Posted July 21, 2014 Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 So how do you secure the turbo blanket? Why did you choose black as color of choice on intake manifold? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S8ET6 Posted July 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 are you running stock cams? any plans to run something different? LOVE T6 builds, I go visit my friend's shop every once in a while down in South Jersey and I can't wait for the build to be done I'm open to experimenting with a N/A cam at some point down the roadSo how do you secure the turbo blanket? Why did you choose black as color of choice on intake manifold? If you look close, you can see the black nylon ties. I'll basically do the same thing, only with steel ties (and not around the coolant drain port) when I do the final install. As for the color - just trying something different. Where you ran that line .... thats where your clutch pedal is supposed to go .... interesting. I know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blockpartie Posted July 22, 2014 Report Share Posted July 22, 2014 Yes, some euro S80s were manual....even T6's! Manual S80? Yes. Manual S80 T6? No, never. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piston Slapper Posted July 22, 2014 Report Share Posted July 22, 2014 Manual S80? Yes. Manual S80 T6? No, never. They offered a manual for the six cylinder, the M65 transmission. Are you saying you know for sure that they only offered it in the N/A 6s? Because I've never seen any hard info from europe one way or the other.

Chilled man Posted July 22, 2014 Report Share Posted July 22, 2014 That's for the manual shifter cables, is it not?

Look it up in VIDA, the M65 was available from 1999 till 2001 for "B6304S3"/"B6294S" equipped cars only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S8ET6 Posted August 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 Emission test passed. There is a shimmy coming from the front end around 65mph. Ordered 2 new wheel bearing kits. While investigating the shimmy, I noticed that my brake lines looked sketchy too. With 195k miles on the clock, I decided to replace them with braided lines and replace the fluid. Then I decided "F-it", and sourced a bbk. (shitty cell phone pics - every thread has to have at least one set of 'em) SS lines and new pads New rotors R calipers and baking plates 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
