Me too, just read the original thread from Alan and was suprised at some of the replies. Do we or do we not own quite serious performance cars?!

Wholeheartedly agree with your sentiments 850twr....

As another neutral, I re-read the OP and I couldn't even see any mention of speed limits being broken, perhaps the critics of the original post can point it out to me?

I had to recheck the title...

Mods,
As a neutral here, might I suggest this be knocked on the head before things get unpleasant?
The guys who posted about their enjoyment using the performance compared with other supposedly...

Ok......So from the feedback from this thread,we buy Volvo T5s. We tune them and then we all drive like grandmothers?? Do I detect a wee bit of hypocrysy (sorry about the speling,not a word I use...

There was a thread on here on how to bring the black on the bumpers back up and the way to do it was to use a heat gun

no easy job you might have to cut and solder new wires as i think they changed the plugs on the new switch's

any way under the air box on top of the gearbox there should be a large bolt looking...

I have a lot less wheelspin since koni/eibach/ipd bars but in the wet full throttle is still slippy. Great when dry though.
