I tried searching to see if anyone really did build threads on here. I know I'm not doing a full ground up or conversion build but I thought it may add some flavor to our forum http://********************/smile/emthup.gif. Enjoy!

So here are some stock photos

After the Volvo Moose Magnets and Swedespeed stickers




This is with my buddys 03 WRX. He is pretty much doing the same thing as I am. Getting it going for some mods.

Yeah....well not like that so far. Focusing on suspension, handling, and some bolt on power for now. Once I get the intake, exhaust, suspenison, rims and tires situated I will hopefully get a Stage 2 tune from EST. And from there who knows

Re: (stealthS60AWD)

I put in my EST SRI this past Saturday and went pretty well. Has been good so far. You can definitely hear it sucking air/turbo spooling and the recirc dumping back into the intake. So far it hasn't been annoying and is not noticeable during cruising.

Will try and get pictures tomorrow of the intake. It's been raining the past two days

KW variant 2 coilovers came in last week. Had to cancel my front camber kit cuz the front struts come with an upper mount bolt on the bottom like the H&R kit that is adjustable http://********************/smile/emthup.gif

Re: 2007 S60 AWD- Build Thread (stealthS60AWD)

Here is the pile so far. Minus rims, tires and catback. The boxes and stuff closest to the wall is just random stuff not parts....but Tupperware and a Guitar stand may add like 15 WHP

Still thinking of getting 35% tint in the back, remote start w/ turbo timer function and maybe HID lows and fogs.

Right now I am scheduled for the full crazy install of everything the 22nd and 23rd. The thing is...I am driving back home 400ish miles to Rochester, NY from NH the first week of April for that week. I am trying to figure out if it would be wise to wait until after the long trip to do it all. I know the springs will still settle and who knows about other stuff.

 

[shagginwagon]

oh snap. lemme know when you're in rochester. I'd love to see your car.

 

[jerkitt]

Good haul

I've got a bit of a pile building up too...

new shocks, lowering springs, HD upper spring seats, new grille, headlight covers, a couple urethane mounts, my summer rims...

Nice! http://********************/smile/emthup.gif. I went and talk to the guy at the shop and said I should be good. I am def getting the work done on the 22nd and 23rd. I might also get a tint and remote start installed from another local place. So barring any unforseen bad things *knock on wood* the car should come through and hopefully look way better

. So I should be able to try and meet up sometime with some of you guys from the ROC back in NY with the new setup http://********************/smile/emthup.gif

You gonna do the "R" brakes? Pretty easy install but a bit pricey

What works on an AWD without going too low to bottom out is S60T5 front springs and Eibach S60 AWD rear springs.(if you can find those)!

Well, I have the KW v2 coilovers waiting to be installed and going to do a "normal" drop and see how it is after the springs settle. Will be going back after they settle to change the height or dampening if needed.

As of right now, no. Not sure if I will attempt that down the road or not.
