What did you do to your Volvo today? Topic is solved

Is Abscate a wannabe Teletubbie?

I’m running the Ipd Blue springs on the T5 and now on Shagg. It’s a great upgrade if you like a stiff ride

Clearly, he is a unicorn.

Nothing is impossible for a valiant heart...

I didn't notice the subframe mount plates being wrong side up because I was so disappointed about the damage to the crossmember.

Hadn't planned on spending all my spare time - not to mention all my spare money - on what I hoped would be a Daily Driver Candidate.

What a struggle.
At least I made room for it inside. Hit 100f today ( almost 38c. )
New rack on the way, just ordered mounts and bolts. Have to take a hard look at the damage and decide if I can straighten it or start a junkyard crawl .

What’s your timetable on this , JC

Mad at myself for not harvesting the subframe on Clark.

I do have the 2000 donor and will be engine pulling soon. After that, subframe is easy. Would need a frame to drag car away of course but could use bent one

I think it might be time to service my ETM on the ‘00 V70. A couple of weeks ago, the RPMs began to climb steadily after starting, heading to 4,500 before I put it in gear, got it under control, and then had it happen again upon going into neutral.

It happened again once or twice, and it’s also “hiccuped” a couple of times, where the RPMs would either momentarily dip or surge while driving. It’s also been getting harder to start occasionally, cranking and turning over but not starting until several attempts — something that happens every time I fuel up. (Might I also have a fuel pump issue?)

I wish I had pulled the subframe from my '98 parts car, but I would have had to find a way to haul it out of here. Hell, it was a challenge enough loading it without a rear subframe!
2 bolt control arms would be awesome to have on my 2000. I hate those 4 bolts.

Yup, that definitely sounds ETM related. Make sure you have no vacuum leaks first.

We’ve got a 2000 ETB in the parts program for testing or purchase. I’ve got to a NJ swing soon, too.

I went back home to spend 2 weeks with my folks, had a great time but as always it was too short of a visit

Looks like Abscate was there too

Got everything ready for the machine shop and loaded up the engine.
Probably won't have it back for a couple of months because they are busy so I get that. But it will be worth it.
