nice work man! that front bumper looks mean. BTW, how did you do the vent on your hood?

Thanks =)

Ï cut out a hole in the hood, and them putted in a glasfibrescoop, which i then glued in to place. Then i used glasbibre strips to cover the edges between the hood and the scoop. A lot of glasfibre bondo(? we say spackel) and then some fine bondo on top.

It costed me around 1500USD. But its not a complete kit you can buy. The front is an Erebuni, the skrits fron plastoson and the rear is from realcar.

Sweet. You cut off the wings on the front bumper? I mean how much did the realcar front bumper cost?

The wings on the Erebuni was gone when i bought (second hand) but the can be removed on them. The realcar-bumber costed around 450 USD

Long time no see... Well, i'd better make a mammouth update since i have done quite a lot of things during the summer och the first half of the winter.

I bought a piece of cf wich turnes out to be to floppy for what i inteded to use iy for, so i lays around still, might use on my daily beater instead. A new airfilter to fit the larger amm-housing, Precision 550cc @ 3 bar injectors and voltage/oilpressure/oiltempgauges.

Made this arrangement just to have something instead of a big hole where the stereo should be.

Got a MSD ignition coil, wery happy with it.

In order to get i to stop the 302mm frontbrakes has been replaced with an AP Racing kit containing 325mm discs and 4 piston aluminium calipers.

They fill out the rims quite good.

Amongst the first thing i did during the winter i changed the sub frame bushings and i took down the rear axle in order to change all bushing on that too. I also renovated the handbrake witch was in a sorry state.

I've painted the wheelhouse's

850071207.jpg

Rear axle all painted up and ready to be installed again

8500711125.jpg

A lot of new thing to go inte the head along witch has been ported and mira-milled.

The head after porting, this is the exhaust side, and yes, the head was upside down when i took the pic.

8500801232.jpg

The intake side (also upside down)

Got the rims powercoated white instead, i think thats gonna look better considering the overall look of the car.

850071214.jpg

The white rims looks makes for for a nice contrst with the brakes repainted red.

850080109.jpg

Haven't got a clue what these are called in english, but i got a set of these in order to make the inside lokk a little better.

850080218.jpg

Got a set of sparco floormats so i couls get rid of the old stock rubber mats.

8500801311.jpg

Flanges, pipe and bends for my stainless exhaust manifold, not finished yet. Apart fron the exhaust manifold, there will be a new upper pressurepipe, a new inletpipe and a new downpipe.

8500801313.jpg

Tial 38mm wastegate

850080215.jpg

Holset HX40 with #16 exhaust house. The 18T just cannot deliver the kind of power i'm after, so i got the turbo from a Volvo truck instead :D

Why the update took so long? well, i had a lot of minor issus this summer and got qutie tired of the car. I was actually sold for a short while, but the guy who wanted to buy it backed out. so i was wery close that iv'e could have had a really nice -98 V70R awd by now.

And i was just gonna make some minor thing during the winter, but somewhere along the way i got out of hand, again :D Apparently i'm easily convinced... So now i'm aiming for 450hp... We'll se how it ends... If it ends... :D

Recently a mag here in Sweden made a visit to my garage for a feature, an the will feature it again when it's finished for this season :D

Looks sick! Do you have more pictures you could PM me or post up regarding molding out the sidemarkers on the S80? I saw thats thrown in there with the 850 stuff and it had been something I was thinking about, but I didn't know anyone had done.

Thanks

John
