I love those wrenches, just never found them for sale. I just have the ratchet wrenches with the hinge on the head. They are good, but these would work better in tight access areas with the stand off they have. Nice!

Agreed. I had been hunting for the 7mm for quite a while, and already had 8mm up to 17 or 19mm from previous shopping.

What is on the other end? I can't seem to find a 7mm swivel wrench like that. Smallest I can find is the 8 x 9mm double ended variant.

On this one, the other end of the 7mm is a 6mm. I think I've also seen another version with a 1/4" on one end and a 7mm on the other end.

Those are in my book really old school wrenches, lednycklar I call them, I have one for 16/17mm which I ended up cutting in two in order to get into a tight spot on another car. My dad has a bunch of them. I should buy a set too, they come in handy.

Cheap set for 21 euros

Interesting they are labelled Biltema! Long time since I did any business with them. They are very handy tools for sure. I haven't seen anything that cheap though. Temu/Ali Express have them but they are not as cheap as they used to be!

Abscate, I have something similar in 1/4"/ 3/8" / 1/2" options, part of the reason I have not invested in the other wrenches as of yet. However, I find as I can't lock the flex head on these shorties, they can sometimes be difficult. I guess if I bought better ones maybe they would be better. So many tools!

The beauty of that folding one is it is long enough to get good torque to crack a nut, then you fold it to palm size and zip it off with no swing space needed.

Mine is actually a very generic ANSA exhaust, nothing fancy. It's just a tad louder than the original but still has the typical P80 sound.
That’s what I want in the sound. Little bit louder but without the bass.
Do you have the part nr for that exhaust? I can’t find an exhaust for the Volvo. Maybe it’s out of production.
So I was wrong, it was a Starla brand exhaust. This is the one I used on 2 of my S70's, but it looks like it is not available right now.
But that might be different in Europe, I don't know.

Seems like it’s sold under the name “walker” here.

I’ve switched back the ferrita exhaust with the oem and will try the starla/walker branded one when the oem is shot.

Had an s70 sitting in a field with no start for a little over a year. Put a new throttle air intake on it and a good battery. She started within 2 revs and ran mint. Now I’m debating if I will use that engine for my engine swap into my 98 v70 which was the original purpose for the 300$ car.
