Group of Corvette owners out the front of my Art Gallery on the Walk. Was admiring the Chevs and one guy asked me if the S1 was a Volvo.

I literally got a "nice volvo mate" comment last weekend. Definite face-palm moment but I immediately thought of this thread. :/

LOL, I was looking at this thread just last night and noticed that there hadn't been any activity in it for ages, then you post in here! :blink::merli:

Had a couple in the last few days.


My brothers, mates, dad to my dad -> "bit odd of Nick to buy a Volvo, looks nice though..."

Told a mate loading some stuff into his sedan that he needed a wagon... he goes "yeah well I saw your volvo down there, a bit jealous of the boot space"


Same guy as above today after looking at the car a bit closer "ahh its not a volvo its a skyline..." I just laughed haha

Picked up my c34 yesterday and on the way home on the highway a couple of guys in a volvo 850 were checking out the stag as they went past... maybe thought they made the wrong decision over which wagon to buy :P

Went for my bike license on the weekend, c34 in the car park, instructor starts telling us what to look out for? Then says hate to say it but I use to always look out for, opens the blinds and says who drives the Volvo? I was not impressed

Gents (and Ladies, if there are any on the Internet), I have sobering news. The M35 has been decreed a van by my son's primary school teacher - "Will you be bringing the van along again?" she asked recently when arranging a school trip.

She's American though so her taste in vehicles is suspect anyway.

As you were.

On our Stagea cruise the other day, when we sat down for lunch at Trackside I just happened to run into my uncle and ended up seated with my back to him. Had a quick chat to him and found out he was the new owner of the bright red Mercedes A200 parked out the front of the restaurant.

He asked me what I was driving, and if it was still the car I'd been spending money doing up (I haven't seen him in a few years). I said yep; he asked which car it was; I pointed it out; and he says "What, the Volvo?"

Bahahaha!

Jeez I hate having to punch relatives, what about you Nick?

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
