Interesting drawing.
The uncle of my friend in Los Angeles was the mayor that everybody hated in that movie ha ha.

Project 00 S70 SE Base. The fluid still looked red, not bright red and smell good so decide to extract rather than do a complete flush. Don't have any of the green hose connectors nor O-Rings so didn't want to take a chance. Really wanted to see how the car felt with just an extract and fill.

Extracted 3.5 quarts of transmission fluid and added 3 quarts of the Wolf's Head. Definitely made it smoother and freer rolling.

I can tack those onto an order for you if you like. They can ship in an envelope with a stamp from me to you.

Hi abscate,

Appreciate you for being considerate. Had pull a few things apart yesterday so needed a few item. They are included in the order for future use. Thank you!

Finally got a datalog yesterday from my T5 that's running the M4.4 w/WBO2 Regulation so I can define some of my "zones" (cruise, idle, etc) for Target AFR tuning. Been needing to do this for a couple months.

I only wished I understood any of that stuff. Glad we have those of you with the skills to hopefully call on in times of panic!!

Where you are modifying, I am doing the reverse and removing add on stuff that was not OE. I think I am down to the rear anti-swaybar which is one of the pair the car came with (and may get removed to balance the car better). It is easier to remove the rear than the front one which is a new OE unit.

The only other things that come to mind are the rotors (Volvo parts are not what they once were), the pads (Volvos are too dusty so use Akebono), and then the radiator which is a Nissens which I think is a better product to the OE.

The last thing is the Rica Tune the car came with. That does not really affect the car much, but I theoretically have the original tune on the Rica softloader. My wife drives the car and likes it the way it is!!

Neil.

I think I know enough to be dangerous, but not enough to be useful.

(Haven't blown anything up yet, though.)

My opinion on the nissens is I don't like that the drain spigot is missing. If I had to redo the job I would go back to volvo brand radiator. If money were no object I would love one of those Do88 all aluminum radiators.

The Nissens I had on my '98 had a petcock. It was just a different style than the Volvo/Behr one, with a 1/4 turn plug rather than a 14mm screw.

I think the 1/4 turn style is vastly superior to the snappable OEM
