small shoping list

Cleaned up the garage and found some parts you want to sell? Or are you looking for that one part? You can advertise or request just about anything that has to do with the Volvo 480 in here: brochures, towing-hooks, antenna's, etc etc...

I think Robou still mods ECU's. Can't be sure though. Maybe send him a PM.
All stock alloys were either 14" or 15". I'm looking to the future with 16" Borbet A's.
And the 40mm springs will lower a Turbo 20mm. Turbo's are supposedly 20mm lower than the rest of the range.
You'd probably need an adjustable Panhard rod though or the rear axle would be pushed over to one side.
There are always ample warnings and there are always subtle signs,
And you would have seen them coming but we gave you too much time.

The borbets come in 2 sizes. 16x7.5 or 16x9. BMW owners put the 16x9's on the back and the 16x7.5's on the front but if you buy new you can order any combo of the sizes you want lol.
A set of the 16x7.5's should fit all round and with tyres that allow for the rolling radius even the speedo will be correct.
