I joined TB several years ago but as I drive a WWD 98 S70 T5 naturally I spent most of my time elsewhere. While ignorant of me as it is I have now come to find I am on here much more often as I have made friends with quite a few 'Brickers locally. As car forums are my the extent of my social networking a proper introduction is necessary.

So anyway yack yack yack

Bought a Silver(right color) S70 T5 5 speed roughly 4 years ago to get rid of my aging and neglected 88 245. Since then I have spent many monies on it hoping to make people look twice.

Currently it has an 18T, iPd stage 3 tune, 3" to "2.5 catless turbo back(obx), FMIC, and bigger throttle body. Under sits H&R springs over Koni adjustables with bigger endlinks. Sits on "18 inch Volvo Medeas wheels by BBS.

And upfront is a custom XC bumper over my intercooler made by yours truly.

Picture time!

They are Diamond Racing 15x10 steelies with enough offset to fit my friends 744 before I knew him. I think you order from their website and tell them bolt pattern, hub bore, and I think backspacing not offset. Right now he is trying to squeeze them on his 244 project but he needs 8s in the front and rolling in the rear.
 
really nice, there are only some newer volvo modles i like, and i really dig this one the headlights and bad ass

Not yet. Probably around 280-290whp but I need to work some kinks out before I throw it on a dyno.
