Interesting car for sale with t3 and bodykit.

Post by Richmann1 » Thu Nov 02, 2006 8:48 pm

Found this on ebay looks like an interesting 480 with t3 and full bodykit (not sure which one though) it also has the maf in an interesting place, How well would this work?

The MAF being after the intercooler? In theory it should be fine as the MAF measures the mass of air, so it will get the right reading even if the air is compressed. Oil contamination of the hotwire could be a problem though.

Also loving the bodged up downpipe! Doesn't look all that great. Also is the turbo actualy resting on the anti-roll bar? Maybe it's just the photo, but it looks like it.

Not really, he might have simply replaced the rear-window.

And I am not too keen on the Theiss bodykit, it's special bacause it's rare, but I think that I prefer the standard bumpers over the Theiss bumpers.

I´m not too keen either on the Theiss kit , but this was an original Volvo bodykit, according to me. Why so far away :)

The front is nice... But why don't they take any pictures of the rear bumper? :)

You´re right, personal taste. I think it softens the 480 lines, and the detailed bumpers make it look more like an ordinary car.
