Ex850R Yep , I kept my 850 ones , have the threaded tube to do it , need springs and dampers. Don't want low , want more compliance to stop the crashing and bashing 850/x70 do , bloody annoying! Don't know how IR what but will ask Ash to guide me , one day....
jaykenneally Both the shockers are shot I know that much. I would be very surprised if they are still even straight. The wheels pointing on bad angles can't have been good for them haha.
jaykenneally Car is gone guys, only the instrument cluster, stereo and dash top remain. Feel free to close thread, thanks!
jaykenneally Still on the car haha. You never confirmed if you were going to take them so I didn't take them off. No space to keep stuff sitting around. The dash top is in the back of my V70 until @tmovlovs takes it and if he doesn't off to the tip it goes.
tmovlovs That's a B5252S 10 valve (no MAF). Check the number on the block near exhaust port 1 (you can shoot it with a phone camera) When new it was 106KW of pure driving pleasure.
tmovlovs Sorry there was some sarcasm to my previous comment about the driving pleasure. We've owned a 10 valve for 5 years now and while very torquey at the lower rev ranges the 20 valve variant is a far better car to drive. Design is very similar between 10 and 20 valvers. They share the block and head gasket.
Ex850R No sarcasm. I have heard others say the 10V better around town because of the better torque low down. I have just the motor n auto sitting awaiting a new body...
