Oh come on!!! I search all over, everywhere for a 16T or 18T and you seem to pluck them out like they are fruit on a tree.

 

You're in the wrong orchard, that's why. What I have found out is that this site is great without a doubt for mechanical questions, such as why is my car making this sound, but when it comes to selling/buying performance parts (such as 19Ts) or some performance question, volvospeed is awesome. And if you want to sell a 15G/16T, then turbobricks is your answer.

And if you want an 18T instead of a 19T, there's a guy named Spanky on VS that sells compressor wheel/housing upgrades that will fit on any of our TD04hl turbos for a lot less than a used 18T will be.

Hope that helps some.

 

New sunroof assembly. Reupholstered headliner with black fabric. R bumper fixed, krylon fusioned and primed, just have to do base coat and clear and then it goes on the car. Everything important to me is officially out of the wagon, will probably go to the junk yard soon.

 

Damn dude, car looks sick on the Tethys. Can't wait to get for it to get nice out so I can mount mine and get these stupid yellow lipped Columbas off the car (I don't know what I was thinking when I did that )

UPDATEZ

Anyways, 19T and NA cams should be here on Thursdays. In other news, received my insurance check and bought a nice craftsman roll away tool chest so all my tools will stay in my APT, also bought enough tools to get me started on my car, still a couple things I need to get here and there, but I should be set for now.

Also in the works:

-Fog light kit for when the R bumper goes on.
-Samco upper and lower radiator hoses
-Greddy Profec B II EBC (for the 19T so I don't get spaghetti rods)
-Timing belt/water pump kit + all necessary gaskets/seals to do a cam swap plus start putting the motor back together.

I also put the sunroof from my wagon in my sedan since the other no longer sealed...at all, and the track was broken so it didn't open. I now have a fully functional sunroof. And when that was out I reupholstered the headliner with black fabric, so the only beige left in the car is the "oh ****" handles. The black headliner gives the car a much more classy feel, I don't know why, it just does.

I'll have pics of everything once I find where I put my stupid camera as I have absolutely NO idea where I put it when I was working in the garage.

 

Grab some showroom new and dye your oh****bars. Lol

 

And then whenever someone grabs them they'll have stained hands. Haha.

 

its fine when it dries. I say try it, it wouldn't be a bad idea.

 

+1 ...that stuff is amazing. My bumper had not changed color one bit and its rained and rained.

 

But would it hold up to oily hands grabbing them and what not? I mean no one barely ever uses those I think. We'll see, maybe I'll give it a shot. I'll grab the ones out of my wagon and try it on those.

 

19T and NA cams came in the mail today.
Tomorrow my paypal funds should be processed and if they are, will be sending payments for Samco rad hoses, fog light kit (relays, fogs, bezels, and fog light switch), and of course the Greddy Profec B II EBC. And also buying timing belt/water pump kit, gaskets and seals tomorrow as well. WOOHOO. So much money spent in one day I'm embarrassed to give a dollar amount.

 

theres a guy on VS selling a fog light kit...

 

Yeah, I know, I bought it.

 

nice!

 

My new 19T with NA Cams.


Headliner out, put in a new sunroof. Now, for the first time since the car has been in my possession, the sunroof no longer pours in water when I wash it, rattles over every bump, it's quiet, and opens both ways.





Prepping R bumper







R bumper "done". (From a couple feet away it looks awesome, but up close you can see imperfections. Depending what it looks like when I put it on next weekend after its had a chance to cure, I'll see how it looks, and then I'll either re-do, or hold off until summer and have it profession sprayed since I have to have my rear bumper resprayed because someone hit me at school when I was parked. :angry



And interior put back together.





That's it. Next weekend I'll be taking off my valve cover to swap cams and hopefully putting on the R bumper. So more pics then.

 

Beige is killing it! BLACK BLACK BLACK! Looks good though!

 

I know, I might try to find an x70 parts car and get all of the ceiling trim pieces since some of those came with the gray handles etc.

 

Nice work! How hard was it to remove the headliner? I need to do mine. I have tan Vinyl I am doing mine in

 

why are NA cams better?

 

More lift and longer duration.

 

Oh and I was reading the updates on VS and when you are ready to put the cams in let me know. I will walk you through it. As long as you do not remove the pulleys it is cake.
You WILL NOT need the cam lock tool to put it together.
I love some of the misinformation from there.
Also you will need to get the 5 spark plug o-rings when going back together so there is no oil leaking into the spark plugs.
