Thanks! I really tried to stay with an original look. I don't even have HID's!!! How original am I?!
I've done so much crap to that thing but I'll simplify the list a little....
Go fast......TD04HL-16T (stock is a 13G), 3 in. dp > 3 in. high flow cat > TME catback (straight through rear muffler, resonator is straight piped), IPD short ram, there is an MSD coil and 8mm silicone plug wires as well but they probably aren't too much to talk about.........silicone everything as you can see and T Bolts on the turbo plumbing, SpeedTuningUSA 12 psi ECU remap
For monitoring I use all VDO gauges....
mechanical vacuum/boost
EGT
Volts - plan is to slap a wideband in place of that eventually, I ran into a charging system issue a while back and as a result have about $700 invested in a completely brand new Volvo charging system
So yeah, don't think I need a voltmeter any longer.
Suspension........Bilstein TC struts and shocks, H&R springs, IPD strut brace, new Genuine Volvo:
rear shock mounts
front lower control arms
outer tie rods
endlinks
spring seats
strut mount/bearing plates
Exterior...........V70R front bumper & lower grills, XC70 eggcrate grill, 2003/04 C70 Jewel headlights/corner lights, added Genuine Volvo fog lights, amber sidemarkers, debadged lid
Brakes...........ebay cheapo D/S rear rotors and ceramic pads, ATE Premium One 12 in. 302mm slotted front rotors, new 12 in. brackets/caliper hardware, Mintex front pads
Stock came with 11 in. front rotors, I just did this about a week ago...
I'm adding SS lines and rebuilt front calipers here shortly as well.
I've toyed with the interior some as well but nothing crazy....just make it look pretty type of things and upgraded the audio system with Volvo components such as a changer, amp and antenna switch. Most of these older ones have 8 speaker setups which were manufactured by Alpine IIRC.
I'm not even going to start with the maint. that I've personally done to it over the past 2 years, I will tell you though that under the hood the engine, trans, all internals and a few electrical sensors are the only things that I haven't replaced.
I'm at 167K miles and I did have it repainted last year.
That's about it in a nutshell.
