Re: Build thread

Gotta love Mazda power windows. I've even pulled the motors apart, cleaned and relubed them, that still didn't make that much of a difference. I've pulled apart and cleaned the switches. I can never get the glass to go up right. I picked up Honda window track lube to try out. I just haven't gotten a...

Re: Build thread

A high idle like that could be caused by a vacuum leak and have nothing to do with the ECU.

Re: 1998 Volvo V70 AWD

Are you running more fuel so you tune it to run more boost without leaning out? Right now I'm just running a stock European map, they tuned the car down in the US to meet CA emissions. http://m44.wikia.com/wiki/M44_Wiki That is an entire site that explains how to tune these cars. My first step befo...

Re: 1998 Volvo V70 AWD

I made a run to the pull and pay in Denver on Friday. I picked up a '99 V70R front bumper in black. The bumper had a little damage but I've already fixed most of it with a heat gun. I will need to paint it to match the car. This was the last part I was missing to make my car a V70R. I also got a pas...

Re: 1998 Volvo V70 AWD

I got some work done on the car. I swapped out the barometric pressure sensor on the car to deal with a check engine light. They are a common fail point on these cars and it only takes a few minutes to replace. The sensor costs $80 so I first tried a few junk yard sensors with no luck. I do still ne...

Already is, lol. I have too many cars that are worth too much restored to mess with. This is the only car I have that modifying will not hurt the value. I just need to make sure that I don't ruin drive-ability.

Re: Build thread

When I did the sway bar bushings for my car, I actually contacted Energy Suspension and told them what size my sway bars were. They told me what parts number to order. The sway bar bushings on most cars are basically the same except for the bar size.

Re: 1998 Volvo V70 AWD

I replaced the radiator in the car. Not a fun project, it required removing the entire front of the car. 20180518_152552.jpg Just before I actually removed the radiator and intercooler: 20180518_200601.jpg The old radiator was packed with what looks like hair. This was between the intercooler and th...
