Volvo Performance Car Meet

[t4rrr]

Just to let everyone know that there's a Volvo Performance Car meet at the Crooked Billet pub in Uxbridge this Sunday (26th Feb) starting at noon. It usually encompasses a wide variety of cars right up to a 600+bhp T5.

Here are some directions to the Crooked Billet pub (posted with the permission of the meet organiser):

The Crooked Billet
Five Points
Iver Heath
Iver
SL0 0LP

Come off junction one(that's when you're coming from the west - not from central London)(it's the first junction slip road after joining the M40 off the M25) of the M40 keep in the right hand lane of the slip road turning right at the lights at the bottom. Going underneath the motorway make sure that you do not go onto the lane going back west onto the M40! Take the Slough turning which is right at the first roundabout. You will drive down a dual carriageway which then goes into a single lane road about a quarter of a mile later. Keep on going for about a mile going over a small roundabout (you can take a left into Iver here, but then you would be going nowhere near the pub!) You will be in a 40mph area here with a British Legion Club and a church on the l/h side of the road. The next BIG roundabout is where the pub is. You should see the pub accross the roundabout. This roundabout is also the main access to Pinewood Film Studios (if you pass the Pinewood sign you have missed the Pub!)

Hope to see some of you there!

Hi,

Have you got any independently verified power graphs / confirmation of the figures you're quoting, which you can post up? Thanks. (Your words not mine). because this T5 seems to gain 100 bhp every time you open your mouth !

Hi, here's a link to the specifications of a highly modified 850R that a VOC forum member regularly brings to the Crooked Billet meets. There are independant graphs of the car's performance that the owner may make available (I of course can't speak for him). I'm sure that if you were to approach him he would be happy to discuss the car with you. The car's specifications speak for themselves.

Looks like a Volvo Chavalier to me ! It must be the cossie turbo that's giving it all of that 600+ bhp. My mate had a Sierra Cosworth and that used to gain 100 hp with every pint he'd consumed, some nights he'd leave the pub just before it reached 1000 hp !

As an anonymous contributor, Ying Yang, you have very little to contribute here it seems.

Then I suspect you do not know much about these cars YingYing. The set up can be altered, therefore the BHP is variable.

Oop, that's 700 hp then.
Your turn to go to the bar and get the drinks in 'meteor strop', couple more and we might be pushing 900 hp before last orders.

It's variable sometimes I'm Ying, normally YingYing, put when I'm telling big powerful stories I'm YingYingYingYing.

[meteor storm]

LOL. YingYing, maybe you should go to the meet, you never know, you might learn a thing or two about performance Volvos!

When its my turn to go to the bar I might even buy you a pint of Red Bull LOL

[jezzi]

I agree yingying, why not drop it in a spodes, pop down the pub and when you come back you can have a dyno print out with whatever you want on it. Then next week when youve put a bigger turbo, back to spodes a say you want another 100bhp added to the graph.

[zoommer]

where would you recommend me to get my volvo v70 d5 tuned bobcat?

[YingYing]

Zoomer
I suggest you go and see bograt's mate Don Kalmar Union who does "all the late model volvos" ohh I almost forgot he doesn't do the diesels.
Perhaps we should contact trading standards about incorrect content of this website we wouldn't want any body to be mislead.

[bobcat850r]

zoomer, probably suggest you sell it a buy a fast car if your into tuning.

dingaling, Im with you on the old trading standards front, dont want anyone misleading customers!! - not when thats your domain,and your so good at it!!

[spode]

bobcat, steady on mate or you might pop a blood vessel! I can see you're wound up, but calm down. Take a pill. Easy now... that's it. Breath in, hold it... hold it... hold it... and breath out.

[zoommer]

I had an 850T5R and PX'd it. 850 miles to a tank and much more fun to drive than the old one - I should have changed years ago when the D5 first came out!

[PetrolTed]

Chaps, calm it down.

If you're just going to use PH to bitch then I'll just close the threads.
