Volvo 480 Club Europe

are the door hinges custom made or shelf items as the 480 doors are about the heavyest ones i can think of :shock: need a strong cylinder to help lift them ? Those are made by himself. He calculated the cylinder without all the speakers, so it got even heavier with them, but with a little help they...

Not from me unfortunately.. I usually stay on the outside with my camera.

I suppose i can't really praise it due to the whole Punto bashing think last week... :lol: It's a 50/50 car for me-love the Lambo doors, love the paintwork (is that a pearlescent re-spray or just a really shiny black?). Can see that he's obviously put alot of time and effort into it-brave man for a...

i hope it goes half as well as it looks ! :shock: what has been done to engine?? Not very much made to the engine, he has installed a bleedvalve push up the boost a little bit. Mine is still faster, but I don't know for how long. hey emmet, which camera do you use to shoot those beatiful photos? or...

I don't like every aspect of it, but i'm not far off!! Are they punto clusters?!

Nope, they're Calibra clusters.

Hello! I know you saw some pictures some months ago on a 480 with lambodoors.. Well, heres the result! I just helped him with taking some photos, and my car is there just to show the difference he's made. http://img431.imageshack.us/img431/4051/img4999hs5.jpg http://img140.imageshack.us/img140/8743/...

Great stuff eMmet, really love your pics :) Where in Sweden are you? Next week I'm going there unfortunatly without my ES, but maybe a small meet in pub? I'll be in Jonkoping and thereabouts. I'm in Helsingborg, its about 3 hours from Jönköping. Great pic! What camera / lens did you use? Cheers C...

Just dropping by and leaving this picture to all of you. It was taken by night this weekend in Scania (Sweden). Hope you enjoy it!

I think you should have went for this grill..

its the woman who drives it isnt it? think Johnd uses it for his avatar, and iirc the lady driver is a member of volvo 80 club europe.....(just search the member list) maybe someone could get her to join the forum!! that red one looks nice.....is that a production model? rgrds rob No not anymore.. ...

Don't know if i've already showed this for you, but in that case, here we go again.. Its a 1127 hp B230. Runs quarter mile in 7.87 / 281 km/h. Just had to show you this in case that anybody (including me) thought you had a fast 480. :wink: I'm sorry about the size, but it's not my pictures so I won'...

@Emmet Hi! Im the only guy in the world (!!!) running a Rich Mod with an Auto gearbox.After 50000 miles with it in I can safely say that my Auto Box is still in fine condition.Nothing has suffered any more quickly than normal,as Iam on my 3rd 480 so know what wears out and when. If I floor the acce...

Thanks for all the comments! Really appreciate them!

I'm going to repaint it very soon though. The red colour that was on one the 850 T5R series. And maybe I'll paint the alloys in titanium color that also were on the same car. I'll return with more ajaculationpictures then!

I know that when the 480 came out on the market a friend to my father bought a turbo. And on his vacation in germany he floored it on the Autobahn and it topped 225 km/h (~135mph). Without any tuning, so 140 mph with richmod shouldn't be any problem in my opinion, if the gearbox can reach that far.

Two pics here, the first taken recently and the other last summer. Hi eMmet! I found pics you your car on svenska480klubben. I'm wonder what mods you've done to this car? And what's the power? As my Swedish isn't good enough even to say" hello" but I found among your posts 220bhp, is it power of yo...

If yes, how does the ECU know what gear i'm driving on? i think it works it out based on road speed and engine RPM. Rich's mod keeps the boost fairly low in lower gears to save the gearbox/clutch, i think it'll only hit full boost in 3/4/5. power comes in same as standard ecu, bout 2.5 to 3k rpm, f...
