![]() Passed smog with really good numbers. Gotta do something about the one tire fire now that it runs pretty strong

![]() ![]() So....T5 injectors ARE apparently plug and play because I put a set in and the car runs ![]() Engine is pretty tired and leaky. Trying to find a low-mileage bottom end before Davis ![]() Been happy with the rebuilt 15g. Think the stock turbo was blown? ![]() Last edited by BR1CKHOUS3; 03-15-2018 at 09:18 PM.. |

![]() More Davis prep. 1/2 off weekend at pick n pull so I'm swapping my hydraulic mounts for the old style ones and replacing a control arm that got tweaked by a pothole a while back. A little rain doesn't stop a TB'er

![]() Put the E-fan setup from my 242 in for Davis. Need to clean up and paint the radiator top and IC pipes once I R&D the fan for a couple days and test it out

![]() is it me or is the passengerside strut topmount installed backward? (L and R topmounts are not installed in the same orientation)
The effect would be less caster angle on the passenger side resulting in less grip in tight left turns. It also has adverse effect on straightline stability. Easy fix: just jack up the car, maybe remove s/bar droplink, remove topmount nuts, somehow pull that strut downward, spin topmount around 180degr, put nuts back on, etc. Done. Other then that: nice car! Last edited by Janspeed; 04-16-2018 at 08:46 AM.. |

![]() ![]() ![]() You may indeed be right...I measured with a tram bar previously and the passenger side is indeed tweaked, but I will flip the mount around and see if the 'tweak' goes away. Definitely not above making a simple mistake like that. Thanks for the sharp eye! ![]() ![]() |

![]() no worries, i have seen it before. I think it is a bit of a design error. Volvo should have designed that topmount so it would have 3 bolts in a triangle configuration. That way it would only be possible to install that topmount in 1 correct orientation.
Let us know if you can feel the difference. |
