SC 816 Tape deck through IR mod
There are quite a few posts regarding addition of an auxillary jack to a factory SC 816 stereo. At some point, I had tucked the auxillary cable under the ashtray (there's a small notch cut out put there for this purpose). I had underestimated the slack from the radio to the ashtray. While replacing ...

Re: Intercooler tubing sizing
If you want silicone, I don't think you'll be able to find individual parts, only a kit. During my search two years ago, FCP had the cheapest kit. Ordered the Samco set tonight... $162. Didn't thoroughly check FCP or visit them prior... Their silicone set must still be the best deal. Regret not vis...

Re: Battery Clip
Thanks again. I haven't seen anything posted about it. I should re-state my previous comment, seems a bit too cocky... After noticing the notches, my first guess was in the general area but the picture and info will make the installation pretty painless when it comes time to replace the battery. Als...

Re: Battery Clip
Given the design, that was my first thought. Thanks for the help!

Re: Dashboard Switch Lights LED Conversion DIY...
I further invested some time into this project as part of an overall LED conversion with IPD parts. Will be considering some others as well (purchased both existing IPD kits for my vehicle)... To update my last post, in a shorter version of so many words, that was my problem... Bulb was backwards. S...

Re: Intercooler tubing sizing
Thanks much... After some consideration though I am springing for the Samco set on Monday. Definitely worth it, as much rubber replaced with silicone under the hood for the summer.

Battery Clip
Second Question: Bought my 1999 V70XC from a somewhat shady buy-here-pay-here dealer in the intent of a project that would or could run decently while pleasing my wife who was never fond of my old Subaru... So back to a Volvo, traded my last 245 for the Subie... Back to the question at hand. The sal...

Intercooler tubing sizing
Quick question, have two, separate posts... My riggin' (it is what it sounds like) on the intercooler hose leading upwards from the turbo to the intercooler tube on my 1999 V70XC is toast. I am looking to replace it with preferably a silicone hose and would opt to piece it out at the moment due to c...

Re: Dashboard Switch Lights LED Conversion DIY...
Read the first post. Bought some parts. Did some cutting and soldering. Tested and created an account to post two things to add: 1. I went to my local Radio Shack. For the sake of making this work better on a personal level, say, using some other color than red or a rainbow of colors from buying an ...
