A ANIMAL
Well as always i've decided the Volvo can't stay as it currently stands, and i will have to modify it.
here is what i am aiming for:
I'm picking up the wheels and tyres this weekend - for those interested they are the standard from the C70.
I am also getting the updated grill this weekend
I have ordered Some Blitzen dampers with IPD springs (which is what the car above is on). I haven't opted for coilovers, as the only decent sets are £1000 + and i can't justify the outlay on a £900 car
The car above has the S70R bumper - which is nice but they are fcking rare and very expensive. Instead i have opted for a C70 Bumber and will add a splitter of somekind - but havent settled on one just yet
i will also be getting clear glass to replace the patterned glass on there currently.
Mechanically the options are pretty limited. Mine is the 2.5 LPT (low pressure turbo) engine - which runs a higher engine compression but lower turbo boost than the T5's, and while apparently reliable to around 300bhp on an auto box (which mine is) no one has really proven it, and i don't have the need for speed to kill my engine trying.
Its currently running a RICA re-map but i don't really like it if i'm honest, it ruins the power delivery at lowers speeds and chucks all the bosst at it at once.
I'll be aiming for around 260-280 bhp which should be pretty simples.
Heres where it started:
I'll update as i go
