Hi chaps and chapesses,
Just joined as I'm on the Wakefield dyno day with my mate Jon (nosh).
I don't have a Volvo although I love what Jon has done with his so far. :worship:
My Daily is a Golf MKVI R, which I've only had a few months, so only just started along the modifying route (again!).
The car sits at what is known in the VAG forums as "Stage 2+" and is running around 370+bhp on my local Maha dyno. The car last time out did 12.6's at the 1/4 mile in a lower state of tune and currently will do 0-60mph in under 4 seconds.
Still plenty to do, but here's a couple of pics, just in case any of you Volvo peeps are interested.
Thanks for looking.

Dammit!
I was about to go into how I embarrassed a mk5 R32 a while back (cost me my wishbone bushes) til I saw the 370+bhp and the 12.6 bit...
I'll just shut up and go hide... :(
Oh...
Welcome to the forum ;)

Won't even spin the chain on my Husqvarna ;)

.....and it only weighs half a T5 lol
Post 549676 by M-R-P on 2012-11-23 00:54:24
A mk2 weighed nearly half the weight of my car, the newer models are right porkers!
Anyway... back on topic...

Yup, mine is a definite Porker
1550kg with 2/3rds of a tank when it was stock.
Shaved a bit off that now though.

Thought the car (and myself) might have taken a bit of a battering having a VW.
At least the R is common between some of the models. :funkybana
