Oh , nice one! I like an 850 T5 , they seem to go harder than later v70s , if they go I guess! Maybe James's T5 motor into it if he wrecks it? What's the hg...

pfft ! Pix !
So after the tranny out to fix the tranny leak there was a bit of an oil leak, nothing too major, but there.
I figured the RMS must have gotten damaged and kinda annoyed I didn't replace it while i was there...

I started on her Body kit...

I sold my old wheels to some joker :)

Made some new friends:

Worked as a pack mule:

Updatesssss

CamZH

yes, i should post some updates :)

CamZH

Decided it was time for an audio upgrade.

Of course these drivers are too big for the regular basket thing, so I make a fibre glass thing.

CamZH

While this was happening figured the trims needed some trimming.

CamZH

Blued the grille.

And had a shipment of more blue !

CamZH

In the shipment that included some blue, there was also a clutch.
The manual conversion took longer that I'd hoped, I captured it all on GoPro via time lapse.

Late Oct 2016:
I got a fancy red coil

Dec 2016:
set about fitting S60 (P2) seats into the front.

Had to do some custom wiring to make them work, no CANBUS in a P80 !

March 2017:
Sports !

April 2017:
More oil pan stuffs.
I was concerned my continuing oil leak was due to the original (damaged) oil pan, so I got this one to replace it.
Foamy with oven cleaner

clean !

Did some fun stuff

Got Crop circles in my wheels...

CamZH

All the cool kids are doing it...

CamZH

Went shopping and figured it was time for a lights on shot.

Borrowed a 2nd set of spring compressors to help with this, fitting V70R front coils

Situation normal with the oil pan out, when i reinstalled the original one when doing the trans swap I over torqued a bolt and stripped a thread in the lower block, put in heli coils at this time.

CamZH

Installed the Focus XR5 / DVS brake upgrade at this time:

egads (she/her)

Ooh, seat conversion looks grand! Heated and all adjustable still?

CamZH

Fills the wheels nicely with the Segomo's

Figured it was also time for a better (bigger) sub amp.
