Been reading here for a while and decided it was time to sign up and introduce myself.
Here's a short history of our volvo's
It all started with a Titanium Grey V40 Diesel:

We sold this one because I got a new job and a diesel wasn't economic anymore.
Then we bought a black V40 2.0T:

This one got diagnosed with terminal hart failure, a cracked cilinder. So I took it apart and sold the parts.
After that we got a black S60 T5

It was quite nicely equipped with: A Heico exhaust, downpipe, tune (+/-300hp), BC racing suspension and a lot of other small stuff. We were very happy with the car and had some more mods planned. But then the wife got in a nasty accident with it and it was written off.

So the search for a new one started and we found this V70 2.0T (5cyl) Magic Blue Pearl

Plans:
-Carkit
-Dascam (done)
-Some maintenance so that we get to stage 0 (partially done)
-Remap (according to the tuner it will be nearly on the level of a stock T5 performance wise)
-Nebula's
-BC Racing suspension (again, I loved the ride quality and the height)
-Egg crate grill
-PU upper engine mount (done, the old one was in a bad shape)
-Converting the upper engine mount bar to a strut bar (done).
More plans will probably form in my head later....
The goal for now is to get it to look like this:
