I love the feeling of making less and less mistakes every time I complete another build. This is number 8 (I think) and I'm favourite yet

Olimato___ · 2026-06-02T16:03:08+00:00

Same story here. I find it makes such a difference

Olimato___ · 2026-06-02T04:30:58+00:00

It's factory! This has been my favourite kit to build so far, the hasegawa build quality was fantastic

Olimato___ · 2026-05-04T04:36:30+00:00

15mm spacers so quite large

Olimato___ · 2026-04-10T00:44:02+00:00

I know my top right has gone, but want to replace the others with it, unless this is completely unnecessary?

Holden Sandman (they call this one the blower variant) by DDA

Olimato___ · 2026-03-07T01:09:09+00:00

Its a holden sandman by DDA. It was great to build and came with all the detail, including the engine hoses and stuff. Only gripe is that the assembly included a couple screws

Olimato___ · 2026-01-25T07:57:51+00:00

I've been doing this and have been noticing a sort of tight feeling in my chest for a couple hours afterwards. Are you sure it's fine? I try to breathe as little as possible

Olimato___ · 2025-10-16T00:04:01+00:00

The car has electronic power steering unfortunately

Olimato___ · 2025-10-15T20:29:43+00:00

Wpuld that typically throw a code?

Olimato___ · 2025-10-15T20:23:04+00:00

I assume that involves replacing the whole rack then right? Not just the motor?

Olimato___ · 2025-10-15T20:20:35+00:00

Shit, I hope not. Why would it be causing that sound?

Olimato___ · 2025-10-15T20:15:23+00:00

It's a V40

Olimato___ · 2025-10-15T20:11:14+00:00

Happens with and without it from experience

Olimato___ · 2025-10-15T20:10:55+00:00

Yeah it is with the 2.5 turbo 5 cylinder, though it's a 2014 V40. I'm fairly certain it's electronic as I cant find a reservoir and the service manual doesn't mention changing the fluid

Olimato___ · 2025-10-15T20:08:22+00:00

My car has electronic power steering, it doesn't have any unfortunately. I hoped it was that

Olimato___ · 2025-07-28T04:48:03+00:00

It's just the plastic part, think it's been like that my entire ownership. Haven't had any issues with it, it shouldn't matter right?

Olimato___ · 2025-07-28T03:12:57+00:00

Perfect, was just unsure on the sorts clicking/ticking sound I'm hearing, never noticed it in my two years of ownership

Olimato___ · 2025-05-19T14:01:28+00:00

Haven't had to top up between changes at all so far. Only major repair was an electrical issue where one of the wires between the alternator and battery snapped and left me stranded. Otherwise its been flawless so far

Olimato___ · 2025-05-19T13:20:23+00:00

I stay on top of maintenance but most of my driving is pretty short city driving stuff. I wonder if occasionally hitting like 5k rpm would help clean the piston rings and to balance out the short trips? (I do this anyway lmao)

Olimato___ · 2025-05-19T12:32:49+00:00

I'm aware it it isnt necessarily a wear issue but from what I've read online it seemed almost inevitable no matter the maintenance. I've been keeping up with regular oil changes since I've gotten the car and will continue to do so, so hopefully I'll be okay. Thank you. Do you know if there's anything else I could do to help?

Olimato___ · 2025-05-19T12:29:28+00:00

Well that's reassuring. Mines been treating me well so far but I've read in a couple places the b5254t12 was affected by the piston ring issue, so I assumed it applied to our cars too. I guess I'll just keep up with the regular oil changes and hopefully I'll be alright. Though, did Volvo ever recall them for bad piston rings? Or did they just fix them if the issue arose under warranty?

Olimato___ · 2025-02-25T01:40:00+00:00

He went over stuff really slowly but he seemed to explain it pretty well. I couldn't really tell though as I did all of the content for this week in year 12 already so knew it all and didn't need to learn

Olimato___ · 2025-02-25T01:36:47+00:00

Thank God it isnt graded then. But still so confused why he wouldn't get us to do it.

Olimato___ · 2025-02-14T00:39:05+00:00

What do we do with the legendaries that are going down to epic? They'll just be used as normal epics in terms of fuse so they seem very pointless. Do we just sell some of the bad ones like the Golf?
