Default "Must See" Website!!

I found this site tonight whilst browsing the internet in search of 850 stuff. It is full of Photo's from the Volvo museum at Goteberg, BTCC 850's, 200Turbo, S40, Model C70 and a 343..All Race Cars!!!

http://home.i-cable.com/Volvo75A/j3230tcc.html

It takes a time to download, but it's well worth the wait!!

I Love it!!

Does any know the name of the 5 spoke alloys in the first few pictures? They look a lot easier to clean than my current alloys and also look great. Wonder if they would fit on an S80?

The 5 spokes are 'Titans' as found on the T5R but the ones in the pic are slightly different in the way they fit onto the car!
The Titans are a 5 stud but the BTCC ones in the pic have a great big nut instead!

Why does the engine in those pics need 2 oil filler caps? I've noticed my T5 has a 'knock out' for fitting a 2nd filler.
The cambelt is a lot wider than on our cars. Possibly they are using stiffer valve springs?
Great pics, good find.
