The NEW LOLVO Barge

Pay him a visit in the cop car.

‘That’s out of mar jurisdiction boy‘.

£500 spent on another turbo.

Hopefully this one works a little better!

 

[leeds_182]

Turbo has arrived.

 

[leeds_182]

Turbo fitted!

We’re back boosting!!!

 

[Donny_Dog]

Just remembered I went from a 15T to a 19T on a Vectra VXR. Looked almost identical to the turbo you've out on. Was branded SAAB. Probs all the same!

 

[leeds_182]

Oil seal sorted, catch tank Plummed in and a little more boost!

Feels pretty quick now.

 

[leeds_182]

Did a bit of wheel swapping.

 

[leeds_182]

Think I’ve upset this volvo. Won’t start now, must be because I sold his 940 friend.

c**t.

Good job you have another few cars eh

That’s what I said to our lass. You always need at least 2 for when 1 breaks.

 

[leeds_182]

The RAC man fixed it.

 

[leeds_182]

Few pics from this evening.

 

[leeds_182]

Another years motoring.

 

[leeds_182]

Needs some more tweaking on the ride height but we’re getting there.

 

[Donny_Dog]

Not related at all, but these wheels look ace

Just needs half a coil chopping off at the front and it would be sitting just right!
Then, you can sack those wheels off and put the others back on 😆.

They’re on the 740 now!

 

[leeds_182]

Winter mode activated.

 

[leeds_182]

Another 1/4 coil out of the front.

 

[SCJM21]

Ahh we do love a Craig in his natural habitat.

 

[leeds_182]

It’s all in the prep.

Which is a shame really as I spent f**k all time on it.

Still, they will pass the 10ft test!

 

[leeds_182]

Wheels are on with BRAND NEW rovelo tyres - the performance tyre of choice in Ghana.

Had a nice surprise when I went out for a drive.

So she’s now back in her natural habitat at home.

Should just lease something.

PCP!

 

[bashracing]

Don't forget to pay full RRP whilst you're at it

get something there's f**king millions of too so it's worth 50p in a few years

 

[Donny_Dog]

They're Somalian, not Ghanaian.
What's the oil issue? Turbo return again?

Not this time. Looks to me like it’s the rocker cover gasket or the crank seal - or both.

Some heavy seepage if rocker cover! Pouring out lolz.
The arc pattern/location and amount looks worrying. Is it easy accesible?

It actually doesn’t leak when it’s parked up. I think it looks a lot worse than it is - I hope...

 

[Simon_16v]

Ahh Rovelo....National Tyres finest!

 

[leeds_182]

Wash and oil change today.

 

[R3k1355]

Do you drain the oil out the sump or just start the engine and let it piss out leaking cam cover?

Replaced that gasket last night.

 

[leeds_182]

Broke down again the other day. Rang the RAC at 5pm and they eventually turned up at midnight. Yep, a 7hr wait in a volvo.

The reason? Covid allegedly.

Anyway, the guy couldn’t fix it so got towed home but he said it could be the dizzy cap or rotor arm. That was a bit disappointing as they’d just been changed.

Anyway, bought a new (different) dizzy and rotor and we’re back boosting.

Also, possibly got some front coilovers and shortened rear shocks so I can increase da lowz but we’ll see if that comes off.

Wow that long. That wasn’t you on the bridge was it?

 

[leeds_182]

Yeah! It was a long stint!

 

[leeds_182]

RIP.

 

[Daniel]

Uh oh. What’s happened to it??

 

[leeds_182]

It’s engine related. It sounds like someone running with a bag of 6-8 spanner’s on their back.
