Hi guys, just bought myself a v70 2.3 T5, going to pick it up next week. First V I've owned and for the time being it'll be all maintenance, I think that'll tide me over until the summer then I can start with exhaust and a Map but that's far away at the moment. I hope to make a few meets as I've stepped away from the Merc and Jap world where there is a great community spirit and hope to make a few "friends" (Thumbs up Inbetweeners) in the Volvo world.

Just picked it up on my way to a night shift today. 2002 v70 t5 from what I have checked on my little volvo knowledge and more of just general car buying the mechanicals are all good. Body needs a few smart repairs to make it nice and fresh and maybe a paint correction. Once i've done the cambelt and a few bushes, i'm thinking downpipe and tune...maybe leave it there for power adding.

oh yes.....I remember saying something similar, These days my T-5R runs 13.4 on 1/4 mile and pushes out 301hp and 521nm torque on a 15g turbo with supporting mods, a very different beast to when I first got her some 11 years ago [/COLOR]
