Volvo 480 Club Europe

Paul....I admire you! Another 480- fantastic.

I doubt I'll ever have another, not because I don't want one, but because I'd never find the time to look after it.

That GT is nice too- and in a good colour.

Hi everyone, Like so many previous 480 owners I kept quite a few little boxes of spares back, but the time has come now when I doubt I will ever own a 480 again, sad to say. Big changes in life mean that I really have to pass these on now and you guys and girls should be the benefactors, not Ebay! P...

The TD04-15T from a Saab 9000 Aero might be a good choice, as they have the T25 flange. I know people fit the Saab 9000 Garrett T25's to the 480 Turbo, memory is hazy but doesn't it fit onto the early Turbo exhaust manifold??? So if that fits so does Saab TD04-15T (on a 9000 the two turbos are inter...

And hi to Ad and Ad! Hope you are both doing well.

I saw a 480 in an Edinburgh car park last year and left a note on it cos I thought it was Sally's.

It was! She texted me about it. Sadly I forgot to save her number....
Ally has had to get rid of his I think.

Good morning buggers!

Glad to see you all doing so well.

Paul my man that Fiat Coupe is a nice car. Congrats on the house!

Groom- Audi 200? Genius!

I'd be up for a 480 survivors meet too......

thanks for that! I have two numbers - one keeps ringing and no-one answers - I presume the defunct one, and the other is ALWAYS engaged, thanks for the hint about best time of day to phone. :lol: So true! Dougie is a good guy though and always comes up with a good deal for you. Hope you got on with...

You are doing the right thing mate! Keep it going- and don't sell it!

Koni red or yellows!

Also heard that System2 stuff (right name?) from Proven Products was good also....

Hey Martin, we never met but over the years I think we had a good laugh online!

If you are really gone, then best of luck with all of your life.

Rohan

Just wanted to say that 440 rear arches work very well- I had thiem done on my first turbo and it worked a treat. There is a picture somewhere on here.

Well worth doing....

Welcome to the world of the 480- fasten your seatbelt!

Rohan

Really on a NA car you will not see too much gain for all of the work you might do and money you might invest. If it were me I would be thinking about dropping that 2.0 lump in- it will feel a bit quicker. Maybe you could mate the 1.7 box to the 2.0 engine, I can't remember if the gear ratios are di...

I know the 300 series 2.o is great fun but didn't know there was a turbo ??

greetz

There isn't but I think a lot of people are fitting B18FTs in them!

WOW, Martin you hit 10000 posts! Congratulations!

Spot on with PPC Martin!

It isn't always great but when it is.....what a mag!

Nice one Felyx, this kind of part cross referencing is always good for everyone to know.
BTW hope my old turbo is behaving itself!


Rohan

Ok, will PM you.

@JT- hi dude!

If Derek's kind offer isn't suitable I have a good condition alternator from a 93 Turbo here if you want it. I am in Glasgow so not to far away.

Could you translate?

That isn't Scottish John, that's just bollocks.

And all too common these days!

Rachel do you still need a downpipe? I have a stainless steel one here if you are interested.....
