Hi peeps, converted to Volvo many years ago previously seeing them as 'pensioners cars' I am now a reformed character and see the turbo brick as THE dogs danglies. First 1997 T5 was an ex-cop armed response estate VERY VERY fast and stealthy (blacked out windows for the bad asses sitting in the back with machine guns!) Then another T5 1998 ex-cop estate. 2 years ago bought a T5 rag top (owned by a Police fast pursuit driver) - erm theres a pattern forming here I hear you say!! He lavished money on her and she is RAPIDO and leaves the likes of M3/M4 and boring Ford St drivers crying at the traffic lights! Just acquired my latest T5 estate, 'fixer upper' very cheap but basically sound. Needs a few little jobs, sat nav update, turbo rebuild (oil seals gone), cruise not working, and a straight through cat back exhaust system! Then its a brake upgrade all round (seen a guy in USA with Porsche calipers!) Possible turbo upgrade/remap/ injectors etc. I will post pics of my latest cars sadly my PC blew up a whole back so I doubt any pics of my old girls :([ATTACH=CONFIG]29117[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]29118[/ATTACH] The girls!

Chuck xc90 336mm front brakes on it ;) Oh, and if you don't like headaches (or your sanity for that matter) don't fit a straight through pipe on a P2 V70.

yeah I cut the back box off today and went for a mild blat up the road and it WAS very growly so I think I'll stick something on it like my C70 has that has a nice big tail pipe but lets the engine sound good without blowing my ears out!
