Re: Wrecked "YELLOW" 95 T5 R in Florida

Blacked out grille and rims, resonator exhaust, tinted windows. Looks like a hard driven young guy's car. Nice car before it became a cliche'. I think It's definitely repairable, but not worth it to most parties though. lool...you put it in a nutshell :D . Though I don't think the windows are tinte...

Wheels are worth $300-$400, who knows if anything else is worth much with those miles
as the car is certainly not repairable
Totally agree with you!

Re: 2001 XC70 lug bolts coming loose?

I doubt that there is a known issue with the lugs. If there were that would be(SHOULD BE) a MAJOR safety recall. I know a mechanic who used to work for Firestone just a year ago. He told me a story where they had an APPRENTICE (1st year) torque down(or not) the lug nuts of the wheel . Customer pulls...

Re: 1996 15T turbo replaced with a 1995 16T Turbo -----Volvo

Hi Justin,

That's what the funny thing is. I think they took the flange from the junker engine and used it. I think they used the 15T exhaust. The turbo is all bolted in right now. Is there going to be a problem...ie pressure problem?

Many thanks!

1996 15T turbo replaced with a 1995 16T Turbo -----Volvo 850

Hello folks, As some of you may know my engine went kaput not too long ago. It has been swapped out with another engine I got from a junkyard. It hasn't been fully installed yet... Still have more work to do before it's ready to start. Something odd I noticed today was the turbo from the bad engine ...
