Mmm, I think black eyed man is envious. Maybe he would be happier with the creaky, squealy, squeaking VP if he got rid of his creaky, squealy, squeaking kids, lol.

was getting out of mine at the shops the other day, just parked and left motor idling while closing windows and sunroof's and some 40 odd year old lady walked past the front (had reversed into carpark) and gave me the dirtiest look possible, ie as if i'd gotten out and taken a s**t in the middle of the carpark or something. then got to her car bout 3 spots down, by which time i was out and just with a slightly raised voice said. just cause u can't afford it, she looked up and i turned and walked. found it quite amusing though was half expecting an abusive note or smashed window when i came back.

Hahaha, I get this every day... Most of the time it's from 60+ year olds in standard M35s, and I drive past them laying frame and throwing sparks... The digust I get thrown my way is awesome

Dont worry, we all understand. :P

What happens when the chassis is ground away or you catch a the crossmember on a lip?

Subframe sits below chassis.... My sway bar is flat on the bottom and subframe is shiney silver.. Aint scared :domokun:

The person behind you might be when you catch the subframe and come to a stop instantly. lol

So the other night in Pt. Pirie I thought I'd get some fuel and a icecream, on my return from paying I find a rather drunk local standing (swaying actually) in front of my a car with a big smile on his face and chuckling to himself. "All good?" i say to him and he goes "F!@# Yeah, thats cool car hey bro" then proceeds to walk away while still focused on my car. Well you can guess what happened next, yep, BAM!!! straight into the petrol pump in the next row, falls on his arse, then tries to get up by pulling on the hose that is now on the ground!

Was the funniest thing I seen while I was there

Motorbike rider at the lights today pulls up next to me and asks "How hard was it to put the Pioneer deck in? I've got a Blue M35!" Ahaha before he said he had a blue M35 I was like "wtf does this guy want".

Seems a lot of bike dudes are into Stageas!

Getting back to Volvos....

We now have two in the family... Well a silver/grey M35 does count as a XC70 really...

Finally after 160k the wifes Saab 9-5 is now gone, and replaced with this... Still a 2.5 and a turbo...:thumbsup:

Haha, glad that XC70 isn't silver Nick, could get confusing.

Bit iffy with an WRCxxx number plate.

Made me smile as well... Especially as they had a couple of Evo's on the lot as well... Had been taken in Trade against a S60 T6 AWD in seperate transactions..

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
