Thanks, found the forum whilst searching the web for more pics/info on modded 960's, usually while looking for Vallakra Treffen pictures.
have you seen the Vallakra pics on this forum?
No...where are they???..linky please..
Thankyou.....Mmmm more Volvo goodness....
Nothing new?:)
Sorry for the looong wait, sadly no good news, my car got side swiped by some idiot in a BMW and as a result it was written off, most of the good stuff (Grill, Front bumper, rear spoiler) went to my friend in California for his 960, the rest was just broken for spares, the wheels sadly went just the other day. I'm currently out of work so can't afford another one but as and when I get funds I will start again, plans next time are to start with a T5 transplant and then move onto the bodywork (which I find easiest anyway).
** Update**...Got offered a 960 with manual gearbox and a tuned T5 engine fitted for £1600, sadly I can't afford to buy it though....
I'm sorry to hear that! :( Your car was a very good looking car, but allways some kind of an idiot mess up things like that. How did this actually happend? Any pics?
Thanks for the compliment, the guy in the BMW was going around a roundabout next to me and decided that he wanted to be in the same lane I was (which entered the motorway) he just swerved without even looking and plowed into the side of my car, sadly no pics (didn't think to take any). On the plus side I'm probably going to be getting another 960 in the coming months but this time I think it'll be an estate as the saloon just wan't practical for a family, expect to start off this time with engine mods (hopefully anyway) just got to try and find a mint V90 in a nice colour (anything other than green) and it must have the grey interior as I don't like the cream at all).
While I'm here can anyone point me in the direction of Vallakra photos please from this year?, for some strange reason I can't find any anywhere.
I suppose you mean from last year? If so, here's the "official" Vallåkra picture thread for 2011: http://forum.vccn.no/showthread.php?...570#post424570

Verry nice! Where did you bought the carbon lipp in front? Have you mounted lower springs?
Awesome details, buddy! Did you buy the engine cover or did you paint the flames by your self? Like the height of the car :) Nice work!
I think i've seen that cover before. Nice car! :) Enjoy it!
Thanks guys, I have no idea if the cars been lowered or not, it's never occured to me that it could already have been lowered. The sparkplug cover is something I painted myself (I do airbrushing in my spare time), I've painted a few now over the years. The front splitter is fibreglass and I make these along with the headlight wiper blanks.
Nice ride, man, how are those headlamps treating you? Looking to get a pair of those myself, but living where I live, I can't have crappy lights. Any comments on spreadpattern or intensity?
Thanks bud!.. I got the headlights because the standard ones had done the usual thing of losing the coating off the reflectors, it was a bit like driving with a couple of candles for headlights. As a direct replacement they're a hell of a lot better than the standard ones, though I think that even with the height adjusters linked up they dont light up enough of the road directly in front of the car for me. I've got some HID's to fit when I get a spare minute so this may well improve the area but only time will tell.
Nice! Buying more expensive bulbs might get you the light you're after, without having the bonkers spreadpattern HIDs in reflectors give you, they tend to throw light everywhere, including right in the face lf oncoming traffic. Try Night Breakers or GP Thunders, they are alot more effective than lowcost bulbs. Dunno about you, but HIDs in cars not approved with them are illegal and fineable over here.
Jewel lamps off the C70 will probably give you the best possible and street legal light there is, but they are pricey. A new pair here at home will run you the equivalent of about 800£.
Keep it up, man, this car looks real nice. Always had a thing for the FWD Rs, driving a car that powerful, only through its frontwheels is pretty close to insane... and ALOT of fun:-)
Post a picture of the lights the way you experience them at night, if you get a chance? No rush, I probably wont get these lamps until next summer anyway, but we love pictures on this board:-)
