mods since buying (s70r)

**joelounge** · Sunday 13th September 2009, 19:51

Hi eveyone!

Since buying the s70 from storm troll I haven't really had time to do any thing to the volvo as I have had a little baby arrive this summer!

But managed to get a half day today so got cracking......

Fitted an induction kit and cold air feed (carbon boxed) and then also decided on the oil catch can!

I have also been thinking of the exhaust.... Storm troll had a custom 1 box system made which ended with a 5 inch pipe! sounds amazing but to loud for me to live with daily! So have ordered a jetex system which i'll fit this week.

Bought a set of volvo bbs split rims which i have sent off to be polished on the lip and blasted and painted silver chrome.....

Next is to look at the suspension...... and I'm thinking about getting the front end repainted....

Oh yeah got a set of leather seats which will be going in this week as well...

All the bits coming off will be available if any one is interested.?

will upload some pics later!

I just been clearing out and found some show plates for the car that I had made up few years back. black plates front and back with silver lettering on instead of the yellow and white with black.. if u want them ill drop them over .. if not ill destroy as that plate is registered to you now??

ok so update:

Tried to get the exhaust off in one bit but it was welded on the car rather than off the car so had to cut it off in the end

Bolted the new one on and wow what a difference. really pleased with the fit and how the tail looks! sounds so much quieter yet still with a slight rasp. You can hear the intake and turbo now as opposed to the old system which was pretty much all exhaust!

If any one is interested in the old exhaust (pm's replied to!) all that is left is the rear box so send me your emails for pictures if interetsed.
