I Finally Got My Car (only two days wait but it was hell)

Charles · 06-02-2008, 02:56 AM

Here are some DSLR shots. My Pentax k10d (read; My other hobby, photography) Here is the link to the photostream, or you can view them below.

I hate the tires that are on it. I'll either get these or these ... but i love the Columbia rims

What does this do?

Beautiful day

Clean!

Lower Center Console

My big head

Moonroof

Weird Angle

Left of the wheel

My favorite button in the whole car

Can you guess which is my second favorite?

Crappy Head unit

98 octane costs a lot

Later this week I'll put up some body shots. Wrong venue not enough time ^. There is a weird 'boil' on the hood that I want to ask about.

This d**n thing is Fast! and goes through turns like I'm standing still. I love when the posted turn speed is 20 m.p.h. that translates to 55+ depending on weather

.
0 to 60 in 7.4 - stock. I love it so bad!

the airmix lets you control how much air is coming from outside or how much is recirculated.

Charles · 06-02-2008, 03:30 AM

for the A/C?

Edit: damn. nice 240!

FattMatt805 · 06-02-2008, 03:51 AM

thats a nice 850 there, show some leg (body shots!)

Charles · 06-02-2008, 03:56 AM

I didn't have enough time to take some body shots. And where its parked I don't really have enough space to take shots from a distance. Plus its an ugly venue where its parked. I'll go to a near by park tomorrow (hopefully) and take some pics.

Body pics and boil

Time for a new muffler

Time for some paint touch up time

Big view of the engine. Notice the Fuxxed up "tube"

fige · 06-02-2008, 09:50 PM

DUDE, fix that tube right now... I don't think whiteblocks like debris

Charles · 06-02-2008, 10:01 PM

someone said that there was a disclaimer set by volvo to remove that tube, due to water getting in there. I have not yet decided what to do.

here is the conversation

If you really want a new one, use part# 8619305...........

Gigidy5: So should I tear it out or get a new one?

This one?

Fake-R · 06-02-2008, 10:01 PM

beautiful. very similar to the one I'm getting.

242teeI · 06-02-2008, 11:24 PM

that thing is almost mint.

good deal

MKUltra · 06-02-2008, 11:34 PM

the broken tube is merely a vent tube going from the fan shroud to the computers. not actually going through the motor. gimie 10 hours and ill have your car completely dissassembled...

nice find

The "boil" on the hood pisses me off, but I just don't see putting 300 dollars into getting a new hood when I could buy performance upgrades.

lammmy · 06-03-2008, 12:42 AM

Sweet choice of cameras and cars! I love pentax and I love Volvo...my next purchase shall be a K20 or K200...so sweet.

Yup I might trade in the 10 and get the 20, for its live view...

Too bad your not closer, we could go on a country road haul and shoot the whole thing

faster4_tec · 06-03-2008, 07:17 AM

yar I wanted a k10d so bad, mostly for the shake + dust proofing, due to the nature of what I do, what put me off was the lack of super wide lenses, the pentax offering is fish, don't want fish I want a square, so the other offerings are 10-20sigma (like them, but build is not what I like, and canon 10-22 is t3h daddy, so I want a canon body instead LOL), or a 12-22 tamron, sharper than the sigma, but still, tis more $$$ than the canon and on par with the canon. so I'm after another canon body now, 30d likely.

car wise, LUSH !!! most loaded 850 I've ever seeen!! and a nice interior! all the ones I've seen are like this bright/v.light coloured grey, that looks mangey very quickly and is hard to clean.

love how the sport/econ g'box button is worn, worn mostly on SPORT, LOL.
