Hello guys:
I´m a new member here. Sorry for my poor English, i will try to do as well as i can. I will try to put a lot of pics.
First a pic of the car now a days.
Now, this is a little resume of our history together.
Couple of years ago, I bought my 1998 V70 R. We´ve travelled and lived a lot of stories together (even engine failure for too much boost). First modification was a KW V3 coilovers kit:
After that, I founded 4 volvo BBS Triton wheels. In the beginning with 225/40/18 tires.
This tires are too big for a lowered suspension, and i had little troubles in plastic wheel housing parts. Need to modify it.
I love made my own parts, so i begin to work with carbon fiber (amateurs mode) and made some interior parts. I think that i had got some pics in my HDD of that process if somebody needs.
One of my best friends has got turnning and drilling machines. It is very beautiful work and i always try to improve it (only for hobby, it is not my job). We´ve worked making our own car parts since long time ago, so began to made some parts for my volvo.
Upper engine mount:
Also i made the big upper engine mount, but engine noise increases too much in the interior, so i dismounted it and mounted a new one OEM part.
My waste gate actuator didn´t work fine, and i had got a Forge waste gate actuator for a Nissan 200sx, so i tunned it and bolt on TD04 turbo.
Afther that, y founded two AP racing discs in 360x34 mm of a Seat Leon super cup (race car) and some Brembo 4 pistons caliper of a Mitsubishi 3000GT VR4 upgraded kit (radial mount), and i began to work for bolt on the swedish car...
To be continued
Regards!!!
