Wow! Those are fun! I really like the Columba on the 850T's. Always reminded me of a wooden airplane prop in the hub design.
Also the update of that design in the Perfo - so sharp. And I really like the Tellus on the XC's. It's deeper, has much more lip.
Interesting how much crossover with other makers in design - there are BBS wheels, Mercedes wheels, Audi wheels, aftermarket wheels...

They don't call them diving boards for nuthin'!

When you do that, wear a face shield and DO NOT breathe any of the pressurized hydraulic fluid that will blast out when your drill bit breaks through! Some people have gotten quite sick from that.

Oh yes, I read a thread last night about that on R3vlimited. Pretty scary. All precautions will be taken!

Fired up the 1999 S70 AWD

Put battery in
Put 2 gallons gas in

PCV hose had popped off snorkel, no clamp. Pushed it back on firm

Started up and ran well
Gushed about 2 liters of gas from transfer pump side into catch pan , then slowed to drip

ME7 went closed loop in 6 minutes. Came up to temperature at 3 o'clock

All electricals work
ABS light on

I don't understand the fuel leak portion of this. Break in a line? But it was running?

It's a break in the crossover pump in the P80 AWD design. Fuel is pumped from the right tank to the left tank and then it sucka the fuel from left to right and up to the fuel rail

Inspired by another thread on here, I changed out my brake fluid today. Not to bad looking; think apple juice. Noticed that the rear bump stops seem to be disintegrating. Weird material.

The bump stops get nasty over time, almost looks like a broken up wasp nest. Nasty!

Yep, that's how they usually look!
