Anyone tried them?

Can't justify £115 for one Sessanta when a Neuton is £87 and they last half again as long.]]> Thu, 09 Feb 2012 14:37:40 +0000 http://forums.t5d5.org/topic/18184-new-tyre-from-neuton/ Pair of OMP bucket seats to fit 850 or x70 http://forums.t5d5.org/topic/18183-pair-of-omp-bucket-seats-to-fit-850-or-x70/
They come with Volvo manual runners that bolt straight in.

Only selling as I can't get my shoulders between the wings, gutted frankly!

Looking for £140.

I've been contacting a lot of remappers and they ALL seem to have different answers regarding the process of a remap on my car. So looking for a bit of clarification from you guys as what the process actually is, below says what three different tuners are saying.

Im guesing the top quote personally as they have done a lot of remaps on volvos? Could someone also verify what ecu i have?

Quote

You need to remove the ECU and you need to bootpin the ECU using a program called ByteShooter, it is impossible to do it without taking the ECU out, it is the same with every Volvo, they require the ECU to be taken out, the only way you can tune these without the ECU being removed is using a tune it box to fit to the fuel rail and we do not offer these as they are a very poor way of tuning vehicles and it tricks the car into producing more fuel.

Quote

The process involves me using handheld device that plugs in your diagnostic port and copies all of the data and standard map, I then transfer this data to a laptop, upload the file to our server which Andy in the office will modify. I then transfer the modified file back to the handheld device and back on to the car.

Yeah ecu out and soldering chip.... Seems that volvo have a handful that can be done via OBD port but they are few and far between

Foggyjames has been burgled, and they've stolen his P1 V70R <Some strange people call them P3 V70R's...>

Reg: S306 ACD
Metallic Blue

Stolen from the West of Lincoln, Lincolnshire.

Has a few oddities, like 15" Antilla Alloys on the rear, and Comets on the front, also has crystal headlights/indicators (Fairly rare apparently)

Of course, they've helped themselves to a lot of other stuff as well, like flat screen tv, xbox's etc.

If anybody see's anything Suss <Ebay etc>, especially in the Linc's or surrounding areas obviously let foggy know.

What does it take to get what you ask for off him. He has managed to up the bhp but at the same time he has reduced my tourqe.

My Bruntingthorpe map was 346.3 bhp and 456 nm (336.6 lb/ft) now I have 366.3 bhp but only 430 nm (317.2 lb/ft) Although I have more bhp it seems to me the accelleration isn't as good.

I have a printout of my new map overlaid on Pyaap's map. Although the end results are very close, (the build up to the end result) I am down on power & tourqe thoughout the rev range.

My engie is the same as Pyaap's except for forged rods and a ported head. The rods won't make any gains except that I should be able to bring the power on earlier without fear of bending anything. The ported head should make more power otherwise people won't bother to do this mod.

How hard is it to map a P2 car. it took 7 months to get this map, I am starting to feel embarrased phoning Don

I was a passenger and sideline visitor this year and met a few of you and recognised others by their cars/descriptions :whistling: ! I really hope next year will happen as I want to be out there...not watching from the sidelines!:no:

Apart from THE ISSUE, this year, if the weather had been good all day, would have been a gas...more than it was......

So....be positive and look to 2012!!! Olympics? Pah! NOT AS FUN AS A MRG TRACKDAY!!!:D

Today I have had my ABS ECU swapped so that I have a fully functioning motor. Well, I did till I got 100 yards up the road from the garage. Then the light came back on plus the traction control light. The guy at the the garage said the ecu's were different so I guess it is the reason why it no work. So, £40 plus price of ECU to gain one extra light on the dash....boooo!!!

Anyway, on a positive note, it means I can now send my original ECU off to be repaired. So my quetion is....who do you recommend? I guess hundreds of you must have been down this route before, so I'm also guessing that there are well recommended wielders of soldering irons...and no I am not one of them. lol

Any advice will, again, be appreciated.

Thanks

I have an ex police V70, its an 07 model with the new style centre console, its got a big cubby next to the handbrake so I bought the genuine cup holder to go in it.......it doesn't fit! grrrrr! Its too small. Does anyone have any experience of these or am I going to be going on a bodging mission to make it fit.

Its also missing the roller shutter bit to cover it up, does anyone know if you can get these as a spare?

We are tentatively looking at the events in Sweden being run from Tues-Thurs (3-5th July 2012), and then of course the usual Thurs evening -Sat events will be run at Bristol and Combe. I've been looking and flights to Sweden around that time are around £150 return with a regular carrier like SAS from H'row (probably cheaper with a budget carrier but I've not had a chance to look) and accommodation in Gothenburg will be at the Radisson Blu Gothenburg, with preferential rates for official visitors to Volvo.

At this moment, what I need to know is a rough idea of who would be interested in such a trip (plus whether you're bringing family members), so that I can provide a rough idea of numbers to Volvo UK in due course as it will be them who are officially organising the visit. All of this is very much in its infancy so things may be subject to change as plans progress but I will keep everyone updated as I go along and hopefully bring it to fruition!]]> Thu, 09 Feb 2012 01:38:04 +0000 http://forums.t5d5.org/topic/17283-volvo-sweden-incl-polestar-and-factory-visit-2012/
