Never ending S60 project!
IN LOVING MEMORY
2010
Hey fellas! I finally got the car ive been wanting for a long time about a month ago or so. Its a 2002 S60 AWD. Cosmetically its been better but mechanically it is at a perfect stage 0. My very first Volvo was a 94 850 t5 with over 275k on engine tranny and turbo, i ran 15.5s up here in Colorado. After that I had a 98 saffron c70 that i actually purchased off here wrecked but ended up selling it to my father, Then i finally got a 98 s70 t5m which was awesome! Loved that car but still just was in love with the shape of the S60s. So finally i couldn't say no to a smoking deal on this baby.
My problem, coming from a line of T5 Volvos, this LPT and extra 400+ pounds is a whole different animal. What have people here done to spunk these drive-trains up? Any idea what power, or boost they can handle safely? I love how fast it spools up, beating Rs to about 50mph, After that it falls on its face. Will chipping it help a good amount with this?
Heres pics
Just got stock R springs on, feels weird but sits nice. Got my 05+ Rear bumper with R lower valance in the background.
Before doing too much to it!
Needless to say, i LOVE this car so much.
Thanks for any help!
