So I've been asked if I have a build thread a handful of times. So i figured id start one.
A short back story:
I purchased the car September 18th of this year, I had already purchased mazdaspeed3
With intentions of slamming it, but realized this was a stupid choice because the car has a warranty and is actually 100% reliable as is haha. I bought my 245 for $600 talked down from $1250. I had to leave it in a mountain town 3 hours from denver for a month. So that brings me to October and the first day of my build:
Day One: Brought the car to Volvo Specialists here in Denver and had a few things replaced, power steering rack had gone bad and it needed some "adjustments:

Picked it up from the shop with a few "Adjustments"
