Volvo 855 t-5r & s80 d5 from Finland

Its time for a little update!

Coilovers that a bougt earlier, are designed for petrol engine. Thats why i **** them. They are so soft that you cant lower the car enough. So i desided to buy stiffer spring. Made by bc-racing, 12kg/mm. Its now a much better to drive. Only problem is that the car is only 2cm lower than before. Need to do something with that.

First the shitty old spring out


And then the new in! (See that very nice spring hat that i made )


And final pic how it sit now


Little better again! The distance to ground is now about 5,5cm, need to get lower after the winter.

I put better pictures when I get my car washed

Bought the shittiest winter tires to wheels, 215 & 225/40. Because winterbeater. Now i need shorter front springs and loweeeeer it!

[Kenonit]

Hello everyone! I ordered coilover to s80 couple of weeks ago, and now those are on the car!. Looks much more better now. I also traded the Jaguar wheels today, back to friend who sold them to me. Those was replaced by Maserati Quattroporte oem wheels, made by bbs. 8,5x18" et50 to front, and 10,5 et52 to back. 25mm adapters in every corner. Need to get another 5mm in the back, becous it hits the car body due the negative camber. And now few pics!

[Kenonit]

I agree. That's why they are on sale. Wider 19 'would look much better!

[reiernumans]

Look sweet! Although I'd think a size smaller would look a lil' better.

[Kenonit]

Wheels are Jaguar hydras, XF S oem wheels. 8,5x20" et 49

Nice Volvos!

What is the name of the Jaguar wheels? Or on which model were they originali fitted? I think they would look nice on my S-type R.

Hello everyone!

Decided to sold the futuras and saw blades, and buy a diesel car becouse high petrol price, and i also have to drive about 500km in week to work. 855 is waiting for new wheels in some day.

And now to the new dailydrive. Its 2005 Volvo s80 D5 A. Old finnish taxi, and driven 538tkm when i bought it. Now its have about 547tkm on the clock. (About 333000 miles). Runs smooth and its have perfect service manual on the volvo dealer. And now a few pics when i bought it.




Drive about two weeks whit that, and then broke the left front wheel by accidentally. Now i need new wheels, what to do? Call my friend an bought 20" jaguar oem wheels from him Next i cut the coils to lower it a bit. Have to buy coilovers some day. Now it looks like this. Have to get much more lower...






E: How can i change thread name?

Itīs time for a litle update. Couple weeks ago i decide to quick polish the saw blades. so i can strip down futuras. These get a litle polishing and new paint. Decided to paint the centerstars on audiīs ipanema brown. get these back on the car yesterday, and i like how it looks now! And couple of photos next.

I see you're probably rocking the JOM blueline coilovers, what do you think of them?
And, how have you mounted them to the topbearing in the way you did, eliminating the original springhat?

Jeah, those are Jom bluelines. I donīt know what to think about these, because i ride the shocks on the bottom with no flexibility

I donīt use the original springhat at all, just put the joms springhat strait to topbearing.

And now few new pics, get it on the road again!







I know, need a new bumber and headlight washers delete panels haha

[TWM Performance]

Looks amazing! Looks great on the sawblades

I'll be keeping an eye on here mate!

[Kenonit]

Thanks everyone! Yeah the motor wanted to transform red block

Step lips are good idea too, have to figure out what to do next summer

[reiernumans]

Put steplips on the futuras instead of getting different 18" wheels, the futuras look right at home! I'm surprised at how good the sawblades look too!
