PHASE 0-3 of my 1998 V70R. Comments welcome for phase 3

[Rudeyboy18]

Hi all i joined the the Volvo band wagon with my first purchase back in APRIL 2012 with this little beast..... 1998 Black, manual , black interior V70 R awd.....

19606


PHASE 1

I Decided i loved the car and wanted to put some TLC and cash flow into her..... So in April i went of to HML for a remap. Then in MAY 2012 Got the windows tinted, changed the Headlights to projectors, grill to XC70 grill, added a full Samco coolant/turbo hose kit and strut brace. ..... see below....

I was going for the stealth look and a few of you suggested removing the rear wiper, roof rails, mud guards. So i took these on board for phase 3.

PHASE 2
I have removed the the rear wiper, removed the mud guards , removed the volvo badge, replaced the XC70 grill with a black egg crate grill. I have also treated her to A new windscreen, had all 4 wheels refurbed, and a blow over spray ( minus the roof ). Have a look.... i love it!!!!! NOW WHAT TO DO................!!!!!

I would do no more, just sit and bask in what you have done.
However if you really want the stealth look, get the car wrapped in matte black.

make it noisy

[Rudeyboy18]

I looked into it..... Costs LOADS!!! Think i will just buy a set of rear lights from PFV. They look great on the car... not so great on the web site. A member on here has them on his saffy V70. We both agreed they'll look ace on a Black V70

[Rudeyboy18]

take the bonnet blanket thing off the bonnet, get a group a cone, a forge dump valve, a straight through exhaust with only one small box at the back and revel in the thunder the car will make, mine sounds awesome on boost, top engine mount too if you aint got one, run at least 18psi

Ive already taken the sound proofing off. I will look into the Dumpvalve replacement..... Is a group A cone a race spec or something...? I did notice yours was HUGE! Im guessing i could get that exhaust done as somewhere like powerflow?? Would it not mess up my Emissions though..... I guess you , mean thunder like this......

you can get a cat back system for around 300 quid and a decat pipe is around 80 quid, make sure the car is mot'd or you have a long way till it needs doing, i dont have a problem with mot's

[Rudeyboy18]

At closer inspection , it looks the same. The blow off holes are visible in the photo.... just not clear at first glance. So the forge and bailey really sound that different??? What about the trumpet valves or Supersonic valves? When i had a renault 21 turbo i have a twin piston valve on there and it sounds like a grasshopper was stuck in the valve . Sounded great. But now i have a twin piston baliey and it sounds the same as a most dv's

[T5frankie]

those dump valves are different mate, the bailey has a more high pitched sneezing sound and the forge a loud whoosh with a deeper note, you could get one and sell the one you dont like, i put a bailey on my impreza and it was rubbish

[Rudeyboy18]

Im going to bid on one in a min. Like you said i can sell what ever one i dont like. Will look into powerflow this week. Need a 3in down pipe straight flange to compliment it though .... oh and your 19t turbo when you sell it.... !!! :saythat:

[T5frankie]

you wont find a straight 3" downpipe thats why they are angled so that they fit, mine is only 2.5"

[Rudeyboy18]

ah so there is no upgrade down pipe for my car then... that sucks

[smithy]

You can get a custom built downpipe made mate with the rest of the system

[Rudeyboy18]

Oh really??.... I had 3in full stystem on my saab along with 3in intake and delivery turbos pipes. Made a huge difference with a map. Im guessing i should get the car remapped again if i go down the full 3in system

[M-R-P]

mine is only 2.5"

So, the rumors are true!

LMFAO!

[T5frankie]

So, the rumors are true!

LMFAO!

Even worse in cold water LOL

You should swap yours for his

[LiamT4]

If you don't know a friendly mot place, then don't get the cat removed even if the car can pass the emissions without the cat, any warning lights on the dash are a fail.

Just get a 100 or 200cell sports cat, around £100.

Lmao... I would but then you would have nothing to moan at me about lol
