My 2004 S60R build thread.

Okay well after I sold my beloved 850R because my dog just didn't fit and I didn't want the suede to be ruined I bought a Z71 Tahoe. After about 3 years of working to put gas in the thing and honestly missing boost I sold her. I must say she looked damn good rolling away...

Now that I was sitting on cash, the search for a new R started. Being that I'm still in college I wanted to make sure I bought a R that already had the the timing belt and things done along with being taken care of like it should have been. After about 3 weeks of shopping I found this in Charlotte.

The guy was a Volvo tech and had some things done to it I liked, and also some I didn't. (Blacked out pegs and tails just wasn't my thing) Some of the nice parts I DID like was the custom and pretty damn big FMIC, meth injection, autotuch tune, elevate springs, Forged CBV, and a few other fun parts.

Now the fun began!

First thing I had done was getting the tails back to stock.

Next was to get the wheels I have wanted since I was 16 building my old 242 up... Even though they are replicas haha. 19x8.5 all around.

10mm spacers in the front 15mm in the rear.

Next thing done was to replace the smoked boost gauge with th OEM looking iPd boost gauge.

After this was done I installed the 3in OBX that came with the car along with getting our exhaust guy to do a resonator delete.

So far that's all I have been able to get done over the past 3 weeks. Next on the list is to plastidip her Pearl white along with wrapping the roof in 3m CF wrap and then iPd catback.

Thanks for looking! I must say it feels AWESOME to be back.
