Volvo 480 Club Europe

i voted for "red" because this is my nickname :) seriously i think red is the best colour because there is a lot of red elements in and outside of the car, red stripes otside, red stripes on the seats, some red on the gauges, if you look at early advertisment brochures or design sketches of the 480 ...

hey emmet, which camera do you use to shoot those beatiful photos?
or do you readjust the contrast on the pc?

you mean the lower centre console? i'm afraid there wont be enough space for it. better check this before you buy it.

i said almost Very Happy the rest is work for the bodyworker

yes you are right, my bodyworker is damning me because he has to do this conversion right now

the front arches are a bit wider in diameter, so it won't be a straight fit.

Again i am probably gunna get some weird reactions, but i really like..... .....Ronal R10 Turbos. I did a photoshop of them on my 480 some time ago i think they look phat, pic tomorrow! something like this?: http://i10.ebayimg.com/02/i/08/30/99/0c_12.JPG @dakyy: no there is no room for the 9x16, th...

Back on-topic: I really like the Borbets, so they had my vote too! I don't know where, but I vaguely remember a Volvo-press picture or some bodykit picture with rims that looked like this. Very brutal, suit the car nicely :D i guess it was that one: http://www.volvo-480-europe.org/images/history/48...

shut up and buy a headunit that matches ;););) :D 1:0 for you. you're right the headunit has to be changed, but i don't have enough money, spent everything on the gauges :) @dan to be honest it was a bit difficult to drive with all that lights at night :) but now i get used to it and everything is ...

@brasco

with grp and ?filler? (don't know the translation for "spachtelmasse") and a lot of sweat

from the german forum:

blue sticker on the abs ecu and the last two digits = 72 -> TRACS
white sticker and the last two digits = 71 -> no TRACS

no its just for inspiration . just to stop you guys putting metal plates with screws inside and ruin the look of the interior

another gauge mounting idea:

i love the interior, its like my bathroom (o.k. i have no steering wheel in there )

here is the pic:



in my oppinion it doesnt look better without them, but of course its your decision.

p.s. do you already have plans for snow white, sleeping beauty, alice and cinderella?

hey Bakke. seems that you going to remove the side stripes on the whole car. consider well before doing it - the car doesn't look good without them. i have somewhere a pic of a red 480 without the stripes, will post it if i find it. why have you laminated the rear hausser bumper just for reinforcing...

but in the longterm I will get a small trackerball for the dash try to find a canon trackball - its small and easy to use i've managed to put the parts of it in the dashboard - pretty usefull since the touchscreen doesn't work at the moment :( http://img.photobucket.com/albums/0903/Rednaxela999/480...

all that sexual energy... wasted for a beemer



not the original but pretty close to it, has also elements from a merc cls

if you compare to bakke's results you can see that the values for 4000rpm are comparable, your car seems to loose lot of torque after the 4000range - which is normal for standard ecu but not for rich mod! i think you can squeeze more out of it if you check the electronics and find the error how many...

this is my beauty, although my car is a bit dirty on these pics. I´ll make new ones soon. These rims will be replaced with taurusses this month I´ll make some new pictures when it´s clean :hopping: Philip why do you want to replace these rims? i think they look pretty cool and they match to the ...

have you seen that one?



looks a bit like a rat with that half matt paint
