Volvo 480 Club Europe

The new britool tools come from the same place as facom.

For me personally i only buy snap on, nothing comes close, as they say.

Trolley Jack and axle stands, as most jobs seem to include climbing underneath the car. Socket set, from 10mm to 19mm 3/8" and 1/2" ratchets and breaker bars. Spanners 8mm to 19mm, combination. Some times two sets are required. Plug for removing engine and gearbox sump plugs. When it comes as to how...

Dont worry been looking at a manual rack from a 440, and replacing the water pump with an electric item as well.

I am planning on removing the whole of the rear hatch assembly, cutting off the lip, removing the seal, and fitting the replacement rear window with bonder and rivets, thus removing wiper, steel frame, lock mechanism, two hydraulic lifters. Think that should chop some weight out. Cant fit windows ti...

Yes there is, red is the best, and then its upto the rest you other colours to fight it out for second

I am about to replace the windows with lexan shortly, so will weight the glass and compare it to the replacements made of lexan. Should save a good slice of weight, and move the centre of gravity lower into the car.

Easy answer to the passenger problem, only fit one seat, not very sociable but its only there for decoration most of the time.

The tar based sound dead is very heavy, but its like sitting in a bucket when it rains the noise is horendous.

Love the cortina thats an awesome lot of lump.

I had some black diamonds years ago on a little fiat and thought they were good until a mate bought some tarox 40 groove g88's these were awesomely good. EIther was an improvement over standard. For the non ventilated there is always the ate power disc, which have a kind of a groove, but are very ch...

Well going by the numbers it looks i should be watching the rear of your car on the trackday

Ah but i have the weight card to play, which might even it out

According to the books the performance figures all look to be the same.

We are talking standard cars at this point and not hybrid's and modded ecu's.

But i am looking forward to the track day

Pipe and slippers!!!!

The 2,0l is more refined than the turbo but equally as quick.

Speeding on a motorway, you must have had the boot down to get pulled for that.

Wow thats a litte bit different, its not the prettiest car, but i like the nose, but hate the cabin, far too much glass in it.

Thanks for link for us on the island

Just checked the diary, and i am able to attend, so will look forward to meeting you all very soon.

Its more than rattling in mine, i can even hear the brake pads hitting the disc. Stones when they hit the underside, are noisy, and very wet roads, well lets just put it this way go before you drive, otherwise its like being sat in the largest water feature ever on a gardening makeover programme.

Peening, I believe this is called.

I removed the upper hinge its a fiddle getting the allan key in, but it is possible, then greased the hole . Then reassembly was the reverse of disasembly!! No more squeaks.

Are you looking for booking this track day on the saturday as the track is booked out on the friday to another track day organiser.
