I do quite like that shape Volvo, it looks kinda sporty whereas the rest of them don't much imo.
Quite like the pic with "535.3 HP" written on it as well 
Nice job mate, can't wait until it's finished.

So it has a 2000rpm power band.
If that stays FWD it will never see traction.

WTF, no no no. Seriously not cool IMO. Massive lag + Power + FWD = Wheelspin city.
Respect the work that's gone into it and the standard of work appears good, but complete waste of time.

Semi agree.... BUT! He did say "its nowhere near finished yet"
It is running SM4 ECU which I believe has launch/traction and antilag control. And with a turbo that size i'd be expecting it to rev a fair bit higher potentially before it runs out of steam? That was his first RR session with it.

[QUOTE=mad russell;4028892]Time for a few updates :
The roll cage is finished and i am happy with the results its been made so i can fit inside without hitting my head on the roof bars or my long monkey arms on the side bars,i had windscreen pillar plates also made for the front section as i like the look and hope they will help with the strength
I also had a few bars put in the drivers floor to raise the floor height an inch to make the angle of the clutch pedal better on my ankle and so that the Peril can be driven by a couple of different drivers
I wandered what to do about my sunroof and finally decided to remove the whole unit and had to decide which way to go with the roof :
I had decided to buy another roof from a kind black 850 saloon that gave its life for the project
I also brought another dash at the time as i needed to cut one as a template to fit around the roll cage now it came down the A pillar
After a lot of this :
We ended up with this after ten hours cutting :
We decided to go this route rather than cut the original roof off the Peril as volvo make such a good job of building the car the roof has about 5 seperate layers and is also seam welded too ,the risk of killing the car due to an incorrect cut was too great ,so we decided on using the new roof as just a thin skin and weld/bond it over the top of the standard roof.
I also had been busy thinking of other ideas for the chassis to help put down the power and thought i would try all alloy subframe mounts to get rid of the twisting action the stress of the torque of my engine made before so our machine shop was given my subframe and the old bushes and came up with these
I also found when the dash was out that when you hold the steering wheel and apply force as if your cornering the amount of flex was shocking so decided to have strengthen bars made to help the steering feel it may work it may not but i wanted to try it 
More to come soon as there’s lots to tell thanks for looking[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=mad russell;4170772]Hi all time for an update:
Since the last update the car has been coming along nicely slowly but surely I think is the best way to describe it  The car went to our local bodyshop and was then prepaired ready for the full re paint inside and out I was on no hurry to have the car finished so left the bodyshop guys to get on with what they do best I did pop in from time to time just to see how its going ….
With the inside done the next stage was to roll the arch’s of the brand new wings I brought then these were ready to be repaired and then painted
Then the outside was the next stage
I had time to have a quick poke around another bodyshop visitor 
I was pleased how the antenna hole repair turned out I did not want to just put a grommet in the hole .
As I said before we where in no hurry to have the car back as during all this going on we where about to move the business to much bigger premises so left the bodyshop guys to finish off the work and just popped in the day before the Peril arrived at its new home in time to see the final finish and polish
The Peril arrived at its new home and took pride of place on one of the four poster ramps which makes it much easier to do the refit so I can crawl inside with blankets covering all the fresh paint
The new building we have moved to has lots of room so I am lucky enough to have my own area for the Peril and all the parts in the different sections so I can be quite organized about how I re assemble the car which is going to take time as its only done in my spare time as we are so busy at work fixing customers cars 
I decided to start the rebuild with the engine first then start on the car re fit I had been waiting for three months for the design/ machining/and fitting of the ne custom liners I had made to hopefully get rid of the split liner problem I started to build up the crank bearings crank/rods pistons first :
The head was fitted in place and the test cam cover I had an old cover spare so with the help of the machine shop we decided to share the cover as I was still going to run with hydraulic tappets and need to carefully dial in my new spec cams I had to be sure that I had plenty on room as of course I did not want any piston/valve contact…

[QUOTE=mad russell;4171233]PART 2
I now had the engine built the new cams dialled in and turned my attention to fitting the manifold and the turbo assembly as I wanted to try a different approach to fitting my engine to the car I wanted to lower the sub frame and place it on a trolley then lower the car onto the assembly so hopefully this would save me time as fitting the manifold in the engine bay is a bit of a fiddle as I am terrified of damaging the coating on the manifold – as it turned out the silver coating would be a problem for me as it had started to flake off which was not something I was expecting….
I called the company who did the coating( zircotec) and they were shocked it was coming off so soon they agreed to come over to inspect it and once they saw it they happily agreed to re coat it at there cost I decided to go for a change of colour at the same time so went for a metallic black they do it arrived back in very short time and looked better than ever so started to fit the turbo assembly and pipes etc
As the engine side of things was on the whole sorted I started to turn my attention to the car and mainly the inside and the dash area at first sorting out the wiring to the various areas and making a few more changes to the car I had decided to not have any electric front windows or mirrors any more as I wanted to use the manual window winders
I started to add the other parts to the car lights trim handles etc etc
And started to add the looms I had made into place under the bonnet etc
I took this pic to show how much thicker the front panel was now as I had before had the panel modified to fit the intercooler it was cut at both ends but then a much thicker strengthen bar was added.
I started to sort out the wires above the bulkhead area
The Peril starts to look like a car again 
After many hours cutting and trying the new dash in place I finally managed to fit it in place so started to place the wires for any switches etc into the dash and tried hard to get it all looking neat
I set about spending more money on all new trims for the waste door moulding’s and the roof trims/boot trims boot lights as the old ones had a few small marks on them
Thanks to a helpful forum member I had added brass gear control cable bushes and also brought new cables that looked the part
