Got everything done today. I also changed the tie rod end at the passenger side as it had some play. http://www.elisanet.fi/mtn/images/autot/S90/tolerance.jpg Checking the tolerances. https://fbcdn-sphotos-d-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/741175_10151322723082710_194997647_o.jpg All done!

360 is hibernating during the winter, I'll return to it at the spring... :D S90's brake pads were pretty much done and the parking brake didn't work at all so I bought some supplies... http://www.elisanet.fi/mtn/images/autot/S90/s90_jarruosat.jpg Had some minor troubles getting the new discs back in...

"MK2 GLT" wheels which I havea also on my car are usually called "Leos".

It has been snowing quite a lot. Now it's settled a bit and temperatures are dropping, Around -15C today but forecast says -20C or even -30C and below for the next week. :-P It's quite a "snow rally" at the capital city Helsinki again. If it snows 10cm at the city they have to run 15 000 truck loads...

http://www.blocket.se/arvidsjaur/Volvo__RACEMAN__motor_43346848.htm?ca=8&w=3 Apparently it's a prototype stage/test batch of a 16V R-Sport head and five of these Raceman heads are known to exist nowadays. A pretty cool piece of the Volvo racing history. :-P The engine features also other kinda rare ...

263 prototype brings a Talbot 1510/Alpine in mind for some reason... :-P Group-F 240 rallycar of a one Finnish rally-team. Group-F is for older, RWD, non turbo vehicles and no pacenotes (there's a co-driver but he doesn't have pre-written pacenotes). http://www.nummelarallyteam.com/files/nummelarall...
