Yes I agree with you.. Coil overs a must!

Not sure on the eyebrows, maybe if they were half the depth.... Quite liked the black grill... Love the look of the leather inside tho! Mmmmm comfy!

Eyebrows are always a big debate for a lot of volvo enthusiasts. Personally I like them a lot, so they will stay the same for now. Can't beat volvo seats though, probably the most comfortable seating you can get

Just ordered this ODBII bluetooth adapter. Connects to bluetooth devices such as android phones or tablets, then gives readouts of boost, acceleration, or almost anything you can think of. Can also read and clear any codes that the ecu is putting out.

Dude Torque is the shit!

Finally received my OBD II bluetooth connector today and installed Torque on my phone. My overall opinion, it is awesome, but my screen on my phone is unfortunately pretty small. I was thinking of putting a android tablet into the center console so that I could utilize torque to it's full potential as well as a replacement for the factory stereo. Just wondering if anyone has done this before and has any tips on how to go about doing it. I know mighty car mods does an instructional video but it doesn't quite answer all my questions.

Been a while since any updates so here is where I'm at so far...

Boost guage to see all the turbos

How it sits as of recently...

I found a pair on a 1998 XC at Pick n' pull in great shape. Only paid $10 too which was another win

So many Vulvas have been popping up lately

Well the moment I've been waiting for a long time is here... Finally bought coilovers and should have the s70 sitting low in the very near future. Also got some new wheels, Meteors off a V70R. I'm trying to decide what size rubber to put on them. I was thinking 225/50/16 would be the best option.

Looks like I let this thread get away from me...

Long story short I ended up selling it. I loved the car but felt like I needed to try something different.

Here's how it looked a few months before being sold...





I just hope the new owner is taking good care of it!
