Wont the S80 V8 ones be better maybe?

There is no v8 version on mk1, only in mk2

The inner joint is tripod model, and the angel which it must move is too much for it. The bearings broke down eventually. Aftermarket shafts have differet inner joint, so i think those will last better.

How come the driveshafts keep breaking?

Stupid volvo´s driveshafts, broke one again.

Few pics of the clean car.

Hello!

Its have a half of the year when i last time wrote here. Things are change, sold the s80 last summer becouse the driveshafts broke down every 3k... Mounth laiter i sold the t-5r... After that i bought couple of vw`s, but those just weren`t my thing.

In october, i decide to buy i new s80. It is old finnish taxi like the last one, drived now about 491k kilometers.



Drived it 2 mounths in stock, and then i just have to buy bc-racing on it.. Also mountet the artec turbo p`s in the car whit 215/40 and 225/40 winter tires.







Next thing to do is assembly the oem xenon lights when my adapters arriving from ebay. Then i need shorter and stiffer springs on the front, and also need to slightly lift the motor.

For next summer i need to find some new wheels, 18" and 10"+ on the front and 11"+ on the rear

Finally get new rear tires, this time 225/40. Next step is lover it a littlebit more, get the wheels little more out and tint all windows

Few pics of the carshow. Rear tires are way too big, need to buy new someday. Scratching like hell

I've always wanted to see a properly done S80. I really love the 850/V70 though. I have a soft spot for those

Hello! Its time for a little update. Ordered wider lips from felgenfunch, 3,75" front and 4,25 back. Radinox of course. S80 looks like this now, better pictures after next weekend carshow.

Time for a little update!

S80 is back in the road again, with 15" steelies. Sold maserati wheels yesterday, and bought set of artec turbo p, 9+10x18". Need to find little wider lip to get these 10+11" wide. Other option is to buy radinox in every corner.

Tomorrow i order bc-racing br coilovers, hope i get the car little lower with those. And ofcourse a little camber in the front too.

Need a lot of polishing

Its time for a little christmas update!

Couple weeks ago i was stopped by police, and they say that the car is too low. Now its banned from driving. I dont need anymore diesel car, so i desided to take 850 back on the road. Its so damn high that I should be afraid of heights. Need to lower it some day.
I changed the tires end to end, so now they look like this. I dont know yet do I sell the s80 or put it in the garage to hide until need it again.






Happy christmass everyone!
