rev210's NEW family Car , V8 Volvo wagon!

[rev210]

they usually hear the V8 (it quite loud as I've got only 1 straight through muffler on a 2 1/2inch system). Then they look behind the volvo, then to the side and then in their rear vision mirror. After that they have this WTF expression. This is the point at which I rev the engine.

When they lose its like they have been diagnosed with cancer look.

so when can we all see the beast?

I love to see it in flesh!

[rev210]

well the missus drives it around everyday so you might see it here or there.

Otherwise I'll try to bring it (and family) on a cruise. The problem is we have a 10 month old and long drives aren't the best idea just yet.

[adam 32]

i think you got the wrong thread joe

[rev210]

Poor old volvo's a little bit sick... well the auto is.

Didn't like the burnout the other night, I got as much smoke off the auto as the tyres. Now it slips a little under big throttle and if held smokes it up.

An example is how I lost (just) to an MR2 turbo (red), I don't know whether this car was actually fast (my experience is they aren't) but the auto didn't like me even though I only used 'D' and shifted at 4000rpm.

a guy in newcastle has a volvo with a 350 in it

[rev210]

The auto has a dicky valve body by the looks. Oh well maybe it needs a rebuild with a hi-stall and a shift kit:D

The edlebrock manifold will be on today (25hp extra thanks very much!).

[ReVN211]

Rev i think i saw you and the beast at Marlows Balcatta yesterday. Either that or there is another V8 Volvo around that is exactly the same colour. It looked sweet, and sounded unusual for a volvo especially when you where giving it a bit of stick when you left

[RB20LagWagon]

Rev your target quarter mile should be 13.8 thats what i got in my pintara wagon, also red, then you can have the SAU red wagon record

[rev210]

thats mine.

It's back there now getting some work done on it (cooling system pressure flush) and the valve body on the trans looked at.

I only gave it a little throttle, when it gets 'a bit of stick' it screams quite a supprise if it's next to you on the road and it drops back a gear.

[rev210]

I've just spent a whole day fixing oil, trans and fuel leaks on the 308 and turb 350. Gotta hate the dead heads who designed these things. I'm sure it will leak again in 6 months.

It's running pretty well again, poor old series VI turbo rx7 beaten by a volvo wagon :)

[R31 Chick]

Still, even worked, doesn't have that lovely turbo noice screaming out the engine bay!

[rev210]

baby,

I hate to say it but the small block reving out to 6000rpm sounds alot better than a turbo screaming.

Turbo's just don't sound anywhere near as mean.

You might get a chance to see the wagon and see/hear what I mean.

[R31 Chick]

NO way, love those turbos!

And even still, 'bloody Volvo drivers!'

[rev210]

I can only assume you have never been in a hardcore V8 machine.

Hey I love the turbo noise too, don't get me wrong. But when you are behind the wheel of the V8 the noise is truely music to your ears.
