Hmmmm Have I done something to my system that has stopped me from getting the postings to the RWD forum ... all of a sudden my e-mail inbox is empty ....

BTW I was able to find and aquire a two downstack combo manifold for my car ... picked it up for Cdn$40. Looks like it needs a major cleanup and installation of new bolts .... it was on the bottom side of a defunct B20 that was lying in the mud .... 4 bolts came right off .. thoufght I was home free ..... then I ended up using a Cold Chisel to get the other 4 off ... I have priced a 2 1/8" diameter dual headpipe from my local parts store and so far it looks like Cdn$82. (if that sounds high to the folks south of the border ... just multiply it by .63 for US dollars.)

There were two pipes available .. the 2 1/8" diameter for the Fuel Injected modle ... or a piddling little 1 7/8" for the N/A .... and seeing as the system on my 122 is now 2" from the head pipe back ... I will be going with the larger diameter pipe.

Lately I have also aquired a new from Volvo tranny mount which hasn't been installed yet , a new set of bushings for the driver's side lower rear control arm from IPD .. still waiting for the remaining bushing to arrive... and a new set of rear shocks that I got with the car still in their new boxes.

Looks like I have my work cut out for me ... wonder how my back and hands afre going to hold up to this .... Hmmmmmmmm

Old Volvos never die .... they just become COOL!!!
