My $200 Volvo requires a new head gasket and is leaking oil from somewhere on the engine.
Anybody here ever change a Volvo timing belt?
I've done a belt on a P2 car but I am guessing yours is older if it was 200$. The P2 cars are pretty easy I thought.

It's a 1998 Volvo V70r, 224k, not sure when it was done last...

I can't imagine it would be more difficult on a P1 than a P2. I would do it soon if you don't know when the last time was.

I have no idea when it was done... probably not for a long time. I'm calling around trying to get quotes, I intended to sell it but it wouldn't feel right knowing the belt situation could really fuck the new owner.

Pretty neat, not sure how this will work when its on the track though

The only reason Steven Baldessari passes as an artist is because he has a fancy last name. If his name was Steven Johnson nobody would care about his doodles. Speaking of Johnson's: the only reason he can get away with holding a red wang is because he has a fancy last name
-
So he had the car painted satin black and then made an app that shows shit floating around it?
I mean at least Baldessari painted something on the car...
Y'all don't know bout my art degree

I think its actually just bare carbon, so they didn't even paint it (looks cool, but not an art car without the app). It's a neat idea but you can really only experience it if you are next to the car in person and from what I can tell you need to have an iphone, as the only link posted by bmw for the app was to the apple app store. As an android user I'll just have to make due with an unpainted M6...

I don't know how to say it without being offensive to people who do design and digital work, but the talent it took to make that app and design what he did isn't something "world class artist" to me.
offensive or not, you are right. we have the power of supercomputers and we get 3D squiggly doodles.

I'd be fine with them leaving it bare carbon and calling it good. Just the fact that they've insulted our intelligence by even calling the pokemon go bullshit app art is frustrating.
-
I mean bare carbon still isnt an art car lol
Sure it is. Minimalism. It's better than this insult to our senses.
