RobT5R Posted May 19, 2017 Report Share Posted May 19, 2017 Hello to all of you! Even if registered here some time ago, for one reason or another I lost my account registration and since I changed almost all in my life -except Volvo!- I come back only now. Sorry... but happy to be here again. Except of you, I live in Old Europe, in northern Italy to be more precise, so I'm out of your maps.... Going on... I own 2 Volvos: - my95 855T5R B5204T engine with M56 gearbox in not-so-common metallic dark grey that I'm finishing setting up: upgraded perforated disk brakes F+R, upgraded brake hoses F+R, IPD antisway bars, all Powerflex polyurethane bushings, Bilstein B6 shortened and hardened by Bilstein itself to join the EibachPro springs, IPD front upper struts supports, MSD coil, IPD silicone spark plugs set, custom made 60mm RIPkit (IPD has a smaller one for sale), all aluminium do88 intercooler, IPD short ram air kit, custom-made sparks-cover, front+rear strut bars, everything new about the steering in the front, HID on custom-modified headlights, all LED bulbs, front IPD chrome+black grille, rear spider-lights to come next week, 3x52mm instruments on A-pillar in IPD plastic support, wideband, exhaust digital temp sensor, IPD TCV, both driver and passenger 4-points large Sabelt belts in blue, MPRE gear lever shortshifter, and the latest works on this care are the ones giving me more joy+pain (we still have to definitively fix them): Walbro fuel pump, Bosch green giants, 3K k24, V72R exhaust manifold, 3" downpipe and 2,5" after kat, 4" exhaust end. The point is that it seems we need to put on a 4bar fuel pressure regulator. I was quite forgetting... safety-car lights inside the front corners + rear door lightened windows switches and "R" aluminium IPD door buttons... but these are smaller and just aesthetic things. - my75 242DL B20A engine with M40 gearbox in dark blue with red interior that I'm now restoring... 102k km all original and certified, it had just a few minor scratches and a small stone-mark on the windshield plus 2 small holes (less than 0,5") on both fenders just rear the front wheels. By now it has everything new under the car (new exhaust sfter the manifold, all new bushings, almost all new for the steering compartment, all new brakes -disks&pads + all the hoses-, new brake-pistons seals, new torque rods with polyurethane bushings, and all new-sprayed), beside this I have a complete Simons exhaust NIB ready to be fit on, then NIB headlights (I have the single rounds on) and a complete my79 front with square headlights to be fit "when I like to", new IPD all white front corners and a couple of USspecs used front corners in white with orange reflective elements (EUspecs are half white and half orange), NIB Hella FF500, OEM louvre, then a couple of red+white rear tails and a USspecs quad-lights headlight complete set (I don't even know whether I'll fit it on or not..), then some small nice parts such as reservoir tank to be fit on the right side of the luggage, some deep and not-deep beauty rings, NIB wheel nuts bought from IPD, both upper&lower front strut bars, and some light alloy wheels (by now too many, sincerely) including a set of Virgos, a set of OEM Polaris, a set of FWD-Titans with spacers and some more. This car still has its temporary swedish number plate since it was driven here directly from Sweden by a great friend of mine. This is almost all... oh no.. I even have an OEM Volvo dealer front-office front-desk in real wood, almost 6,5x4 feet with blue plastic VOLVO letters on. It's sit in my garage and my wife doesn't know this Soo.. really happy to join you, if you will accept me even from this side of the world.
