Hi Jongens,
Tijd geleden dat ik iets heb gepost hier, ben vooral op tunings forums bezig geweest voor mijn volvo 760. Ik heb de Blauwe volvo inmiddels weg gedaan en dus ingeruild voor een witte 760 turbo, heb een log bijgehouden van de dingen die ik tot nu toe heb gedaan op een engels forum.
wellicht leuk voor jullie ook om te lezen, gaat alleen iets veder dan alleen een carputer. ik hoor het graag wat jullie ervan vinden :)
- B230ET
- Manual gearbox with overdrive
- Xtra wide Rims
- Spoiler (who knows what brand it is?)
- All power mirror/windows/roof
THE ADD
Pic of the car how it was in the sale add
Then I decided I wanted to pimp and tune the **** out of the car.. the day after that though it died on me. So I put it in the garage and made a list of mods I wanted to do and decided that I should fix the car and make it all pretty before putting it back on the road.
Engine
Before I could start making my 760 into "white-rice" as i decided to call the car i had to make it run again. turned out that the last maintenance check was a while ago. I replaced all the usual stuff and cleaned ALL the connectors and brushed al the grounds. Also installed those Taylor wires
had to replace some rubbers and cleaned the whole intercooler part, and then it would run like crazy again! time for some more fun stuff:
Tuning
There were only 2 big choices here, Do a MS installation or chip the ECU. And I am not that great in wires and stuff so I decided to go for the chip tuning bit, there is a chip waiting for me to be installed. The specs are:
MAXIMUM POWER 158 kW / 215 hp
MAXIMUM TORQUE 305 Nm / 3400 rpm
Exterior
First of i wanted to put on the SE-Bodykit i already got but never had the time to install on my previous 740. Here I found out that does not fit the -89 models .. great its time to tweak.
I got the bumper shocks for a 940 mk 1993. And gave them an antirust treatment ( I found out my car seems to like collection rust so better prevent it) now the bumpers would fit nice. BUT they front still had a gap in it
2 December 07
All the broken bit are filled and the gap has been closed with the use of the old bumper.. they are now ready for the paintjob, they will be done tomorrow if im lucky
3 December 07
Today my dad painted the bumpers and the skirts. came out pretty good.. might work them over again in the summer for the last detail. but as you can see they look pretty neat now
Front bumper fitted:
Interior
When the music is all good you start to look around.. well green seats.. Pullman is pretty sweet but I like leather more. So the green stuff had to make room for a grey leather interior I found.
Here some pics of the removal an install of the seats
Audio/Computer
Then we had the stock radio, this was the most expensive one you could get back in 86’. It still was crap to me it had to make room for a pioneer HUD and a tft touch screen wired up to a computer in the trunk .. Say what? .. wait me show you
This is a VroomPC casing with a EPIA 900 /512MB and 120GB harddisk
the old radio

There are 2 main problems with Volvo if you would ask me. First off there are too few wheels that will bold on without spacers. Secondly: There is no easy way of installing a normal radio without looking ****ly, so installing 2 radio’s is just completely insane, all the electrics are within a few MM of the radio. So doing something like that is stupid and would take a few moments of your life time.
Here is the result for now.. its not even close to be a clean unit but it’s good enough for now. The 2 units will fit and I am still able to put the astray back to make it look sort of stock and get “easy” access to the fuses.
