anyone get any pictures from the cruise?

[turbos66coupe]

Grey svo is mine, I did just buy it. Pretty rough around the edges. I've had to fix a lot. I would be interested to know the history if you don't mind dumpy. As 4bangen said I didn't run just watched and cruised . I had my 3 yr old with me and he was every where. Its my second svo and 4th 2.3 turbo vehicle, first one was totalled due to a douche bag pulling out in from me.

Here are a couple shot when we first brought it home . This is before the intercooler (volvo front mount) and Fl 5.0 gauge pod . Still had the svo wheels and I am pretty sure I could get them for you if you want them . One was damaged after my budy ran over something in the road . Thats when the cobra R's got put on . I hated them but it wasn't my car and my budy was a cheap ass and wouldn't spend anything on it other then to keep it running . We made the manual boost control and had all the piping welded up from a kit that came with the car . He traded a Mitsu Galant for it to some guy from west Ft Worth I found on CL . He drove it everyday for about four years and it was a good car but you know svo's are fickle and he was not the best mechanic . He would drive the car and stay out of the boost because the cheap HD couplers would blow off under boost and it would leak oil from to much crank case pressure . Does it still have the spark plug boot over the dipstick tube (it would spit out under boost) ? That was my idea , getto but it worked . I think he has a spare motor and some parts I could get you if you want . He traded it in on a new jeep and they gave him like 1200 for it . I told him he should have sold it on the board but he was to lazy to list it . It needs a little work but it was a good car .

Nice... yeah cobra r are gone, I replaced all the couplers with silicone pieces, put a rebuilt .60/.63 t3 on it because the stock turbo was pouring oil into the intake, rerouted to wg from that cheesy flex tube shit. Replaced the boost controler with a "gilis" style valve and turned it up to 17psi, ordered a FMS t5 rebuild kit from late model resto, in the processe of swaping the 7.5 for the 8.8 in my garage with new bearings as the 7.5 is toast. Loud ass bearing noise on the highway, drive shaft is going to inland to get balanced in a week or two, ordering a v8 bell to 2.3 adapter from canfield industries and installing a v8 clutch with the trans out. Ordered an adjustable cam gear from racer walsh so I can retard that ranger roller that's in it until I can afford a boport cam. I also am picking up a 90mm lmaf for a maf swap unless I can find a good starting transfer and tube for my 05+ slot maf

I was bummed some one swapped the front svo suspension for the 4cyl stuff. If he has any of that I would like it. Or any parts he has for it would be great.

Future plans are a holset he351, hx35, or precision e billet t3/t4 50 trim hybrid from turbodaves and boprt head and cam.

Spark plug boot is still on the oil dipstick and it work real well, great idea. Thanks for the info. I figured when I saw the volvo front mount and stinger style header some one on this board would know who's it was.

[dumpycapri85]

He swaped the arms because the ball joints where bad . I will call him and see what all he has . I will PM you and set up a time to get it all . He lives in Arlington and I am sure he would like to get the stuff out of his garage and I am sure he will be happy somebody cool got the car . He wanted me to take it but I have like 5 fox projects already and already have a 2.3 T .

[Turbosvo]

I think I have Svo control arms, have to look for them though. And Svo rims that are taking up space in my garage that I'd let go cheap.

[76 Maverick]

Yep that will teach me to hang out on the picture post forum most of the time..... looks like a good time was had by all!

[turbos66coupe]

Thanks dumpi, I know the ball joints are hard to come by as well I'm not sure they are replaceable. I just like to keep the things that made that car different and keep some of it original. I'm not freak that believes you shouldn't change anything on these cars. Hell I may just put some aftermarket front end parts on it anyway and convert to sn95 style brakes just so I have more wheel choices or if I can find some old saleen speedsters they fit perfect as the saleens used the same suspension stuff with the wider track width but they are $$.

How did your car run XR1?

How did your car run XR1?

Jay(ttls1coupe) from HPP installed some 4.10 gears tuned the suspension
for the drag strip. Car was hooking awesome on the 18's but installing the new
clutch cable at the last minute bit us in the ass..... I couldn't change
gears if my life depended on it. Even after some adjustments it got a
little better but was still not working right.
Also, the damn car rolled thru the staging lanes on the 2step also because of the cable.

I gave up after burning my finger tips trying to adjust it
I never made a clean pass, bolted the 15" wheels or even turned up the boost
But its all good as its part of racing.
The car ran really strong and completely woke up with the 4.10 gears.
I'm going keep adjusting this cable or replace with my old one.(always worked good but
we had a high clutch pedal but ill take a high pedal over a missed gear any day)
Now its time to lower the car back to the ground, I can't stand the off road look.

I was wondering why it sounded like my grandma was shifting it.

Yes, it was horrible. I bet everyone was like WTF he cant drive
Manny even gave the car a shot but it was still a no go.
The good thing is its an easy fix

[XR_1]

Manny's pass (this is his slowest pass, we didnt get any of the fast ones)
