right after much humming and heying (sp?) ive decided to keep the S70R which is rare for me as i usually change cars every year LOL so ive decided to start upping the spec a little, so far the only mod on the car appears to be a bailleys DV (twin piston of course), should also mention the car is an auto and has just passed 152k so still quite young :B_steerin what bennifits would fitting an 18t be? would it up the Bhp from 240 to 250? (all figures relative age mileage etc...) i was also planning on getting a 280 HLM ECU for the car mainly cos i want the power to be flexible and not revving it to get the power also the fuel as i use a mixture of 97 / 99 octane i was also planning things like panel filter some gauges to monitor boost / oil temp / oil pressure ? but dont want to use cheap gauges anyone recomend me some good ones? around the £40 each mark? id also like to uprate the pads and discs prior to the power mods, currently the car wears the std R 302mm discs up front, ive had black diamond predators in the past and they worked well on the track to. any others i should be looking at? might even take it further and get rid of the heavy seats managed to get my bhp per tonne on my M3 up a fair whack by removing excess weight, i figure the volvo could stand to lose at least 70+ kg's if not more? any other suggestions to make my chariot a tarmac muncher LOL
