Hi all,
My name is Yann and I live in France,
I have a 1998 Volvo V70R AWD saffron.
My English is bad and I can not understand everything, but I try ...
Currently I am the administrator of a forum dedicated to sports models VOLVO range (850/S/V/C70-S/V40-S60/V70R-C30 etc ...).
Of course I come to see the English passion for VOLVO here!
Country where you can still turn the cars at home, in France, it becomes complicated .... worse and worse!
This will enable me to see, discuss and exchange information with you.
I do 1 or 2 output circuit in the year to see and judge the changes that I make on my car.
Otherwise? My front bumper is completely repainted, too much impact!
Hope to read you
Yann

Very nice car mate.
How many of us had to shift themselves about a bit while reading the spec and looking at the pictures?
Now that's an introduction!

bonjour compagnon, bienvenue au club, très bon choix de voiture que vous avez là, j'ai un s70r maintenant, mais récemment eu un manuel fwd V70R que j'ai utilisé pour la course sur la piste et sur les bandes 1/4 mile. ne soyez pas un étranger, et vous impliquer dans le forum. je vais à travers la France fait beaucoup de choses et rendre visite à mon père qui vit près de bordeaux. C'est ma voiture je viens de vendre à des visites sur le chemin du retour de l'Espagne le mois dernier.

Bonjour Yann.
Bienvenue sur le forum, votre voiture est bonne.
Comme Frankie dit, il est bon de voir des freins et de manutention triés avant de chercher plus de puissance.

Thank you all for the welcome!
To answer Phil V70R I live next to Paris, I'm just 3km.
Respond to general I would say change the first frame was a priority because my model is heavy (1650kg).
So brakes, suspensions and certain elements had to be changed around.
Today, with hindsight, there are good and bad things I've done on my Volvo.
For example:
The complete line 3 "is a mistake it is too noisy and there is a drone between 2000 and 3200 rev min. MAGNAFLOW mufflers are fine, they release the power but they make too much noise ....
Today I advise everyone to have a downpipe into 3 "sport catalytic converter and after moving in 2.5" with a silent Ferrita or TME.
With my current line, from the car to the dyno, 21.1 hp I won! It's still good!
Against by the 330mm brakes with brake fluid Motul RFB600, that's pretty good!
I've been doing some modifications on the car I would put here on the forum.
Merci à ceux qui ont répondu Français, c'est vraiment sympa!
As I have said I am an administrator of a forum VOLVO France where I'll share the best of my information with you.We have a section reserved for members internationals and the forum can be translated directly via GOOGLE.
www.volvo-r.org
You are all welcome of course!
I note that there are many home model saffron ... With us it is rather rare!
Yann

Hello Vikings!!!
Some news of my Volvo.
The last week I made an exit on the Montlhery circuit in France.
It rained all day and it allowed me to test the AWD system, my tires Continental sport contact 5 and my Wilwood brake kit front 330mm.
The tires are great in the rain, the AWD system is also effective and I have virtual limits of my model for my Volvo weighs 1652kg and it is heavy!
So today I can say that the limits of my braking system in rain and my current setup is launched at a speed of 125m of 140/150km/h.
I can stop at 100m but I can not turn out well, but it goes still
Some pics:
