    I'm sure there are guys on here with more info than me but this site below is good - tells you the different stages and which supporting modifications go with the mapping. It's in Swedish tho

    Cool

    I was nice to meet you last saturday and your car is stunning, as a previous post said what direction do you want your mod's to be going in i.e. power, styling etc. ,as I presume that your car is already BSR stage 2 (p.s. love the exhausts on it)

    For those who didn't get to see it ( but you may remember it from it's former owners) here are a few shots from the Demon Tweeks meet. ( feel free to copy and use as you wish Abdul )

    Agreed on the sports cat & rip kit. As both your cars are to a very high standard I'd concentrate on poly bushes & uprated brakes too. The cars would be kept reliable & a good set of brakes & handling a bit better can evenly match power mods.
    I have black diamond discs & they're very good at bringing my saffron to a stop quickly & efficiently.

    RIP kit from do88.se though as you know partsforvolvos now sells them, give Jamie a ring, you'll be pleased with the quality.
