To be honest Andy, it's Deans fault. He's got one and his car is really fast. Hence, in my mind that works out somehow :-)
I started out with a Grippr diff as an impulse buy, and it has gone a bit mad. Add a rework on the diff with new, quiet plates, which I didn't know was needed.
Now I'm on first name terms with my Volvo parts man as have a new PCV kit, cambelt kit, new 3 piece R clutch, aux belt, inlet and exhaust manifold gaskets.
Plus a rebuilt 18t, Japanifold, angled exh outlet, 3in downpipe, intercooler and RIP kit, 3in throttle body.
Having a bit of a wobble, again lol. I'm always a practical looking guy and ATM I am at a point where the money I have in the car i could get back by selling it. If I put the £1500 into it, it will go much better and be how I want it but won't increase the value by £1500.
I know you never get back what you put in, but seen a few S60 t5's on 57 and 08 plates that could be had for the same money I'd have put in to the S70 but I wouldn't have a low owner, limited edition known history car that are quite rare.
Oh dear, wobbling like a good un' and mind doing overtime.
Oh dear........



I've left this space for Pete to abuse me and ridicule my indecisiveness.

Will be worth it Wayne, and as Jamesy says, think of the fun you'll have.
