Thanks. There's time attack function but I need to connect red wire [Speed Sensor]from DEFI to trap the signal from Volvo's speed sensor. Do you know where is the speed sensor location in the engine bay?

Quite a build!

Really like the exterior styling. I want to go for a similar look. You even inspired me to pick up some prancing moose stickers!

Plans to lower it in the future?
 
#25 · (Edited)
Thanks. I have no idea yet. Currently I use Suspension System Bilstein B6 with original spring. If I will lower it. I will go with B8 along with H&R spring. Bilstein is very firm while you zig zag on the road

How do you like the wind deflectors on the windows? I was thinking about them but not sure how I feel about the rear door ones.
 
#28 · (Edited)
If you think about the beauty. Sometimes I feel like without the wind deflectors will be more beauty. But it will be good when you open the window while driving. You can still driving while open the window with less wind into your eyes.
