bmdubya1198 Posted May 24, 2022 Report Posted May 24, 2022 Just as I was feeling good about how the car was doing... my stupid a** drove over a parking stop while leaving the store last week. Slammed down on the subframe mount. I was worried I bent a tie rod or control arm, but fortunately all that stuff looks fine. The fresh scrapes led me to this, though... Popped the bushing out a little bit, which would explain the slight sloppiness I could feel in the front end. Just ordered a new bolt, so hopefully it'll be as simple as pulling it apart and popping the bushing back in.
mojojo Posted May 28, 2022 Report Posted May 28, 2022 VVT hubs are worn out on the car. Oil leaking at the cams, and a bunch of slop - especially the exhaust. New ones on order. I was able to get my battery rotated sideways, but ultimately decided it just needs to go in the trunk. I've got some 1/0 marine cable and terminals to run it out back. This frees up a bunch of room up front for intake options. I'm going to try and retro a P2R air box into the 850. I'm still using 940 MAF, so I printed an adapter to take care of that. I'm going to make my own intake pipe to the box. I'm also going to work on printing a large snorkel for the box that will connect to the bumper inlet with 3" hose.
mojojo Posted May 29, 2022 Report Posted May 29, 2022 Results are looking great. Everything is lining up, but I'm sure I'll need to tweak the elbow.
caanglin Posted June 1, 2022 Report Posted June 1, 2022 Changed the oil, transmission fluid and brake fluid in the 944.

mojojo Posted June 1, 2022 Report Posted June 1, 2022 I think you can still get those new from Volvo for the wagon...
quiksilver Posted June 2, 2022 Report Posted June 2, 2022 You can, I've got a new set with bolts sitting on my shelf waiting for my other rear bumper to get painted.

phunktified Posted July 9, 2022 Report Posted July 9, 2022 wheel hub/bearing and A/C clutch shims! Good times with the new lift and 12K btu A/C 😎
Zappo Posted August 24, 2022 Report Posted August 24, 2022 Did a recharge on my A/C to make it cold again. I used a recharge kit, which have been banned in Washington State for almost a year. I'm a rebel. Interestingly, every day driving home I hear an O'Reilly's commercial on the radio advertising the recharge kits that you can't actually buy. They are cruel bastards.
Rstein Posted August 24, 2022 Report Posted August 24, 2022 I love how OP's avatar is the CD cover of the Hitman: Contracts Soundtrack. Fukken love that game.
RobT5M Posted August 24, 2022 Report Posted August 24, 2022 Drove it for the first time in 4-5 months. Even put the new registration sticker on ive had on my nightstand since April.
