Here's my V70R, only recently put it back on the road after an engine and gearbox swap. Car has headlight wiper blanks, front splitter and rear bumper all made by myself.
...
Had the car into the local garage today as the clutch is very,very spongy and its difficult to get it into gear. Although they have years of experience with Volvo's they've told me that it probably...
I've run a nivo leaf before with standard shocks, that worked quite well and lowered the back end quite a bit. Just struggling to get hold of one at the moment.
I know, that's what I thought. He even showed me a diagram showing where to cut it.. I'm hoping to get a Nivomat leaf and swap it out, then run normal shocks
Been chatting with a guy on Facebook today who's lowered his 960, he says he's lowered it by cutting the leafspring under the diff and then fitting stiffer shocks... Anyone know about this technique...
Hope so, after that its time to start saving for a T6
I'm hoping to get some Fast road cams made up by a well known camshaft manufacturer in the UK. Should be better for even more BHP. Mods will start in the coming weeks all being well.
Just bought this the other day, S90 3 litre Manual.. 2 owners, black 125k miles.

Dear god.. That thing sounds mental.. What spec is the engine?
Damn!!!.. What size wheels are those?.. any ideas?..
Is it possible to get the stock S90 ecu re mapped?.. going to be swapping cams, exhaust, etc and I'd like to get it remapped if possible.
Does that site specialise in just Volvo's?.. doesnt really list models... either that or google translate isn't doing it's job properly.
Anyone got any links to anywhere I can get parts to lower an S90?
Don't know, I wouldn't mind finding out as when I get it the first thing I'll be doing is upping the power considerably. I'm not obsessed with power but if I'm going to have such poor fuel economy...
I'm hoping to be picking up a late S90 in January, it's black, has the 3 liter engine and also has a manual gearbox. This is the first one I've seen and the guy says its the only one in the country...
Later roof spoilers are shorter and don't cover the tops of the rear lights. Not sure how a roof spoiler off an 850 would fit on a 7/900 as the rear window profile is completely different.
Yup its a 1999 V70R Awd Auto, loads of history in great condition.
Well my new (to me) V70R arrived today, been out for a quick spin in it and it's really nice, very quiet but no weird noises and pulls like it should. Cars just under 113k and recently had a major...

Thanks, yeah I need to take some better pictures. There's a show next weekend, no doubt there'll be plenty of pics coming from that.
Your splitters are done and packaged, they should be going out...
Finished. Added rear mudguards and adjust the fit a little.

Still needs tweeking yet (as its sitting a bit high at the back) and the exhaust needs re fitting but it's on..

Lol, thanks bud. Just need a twin exit exhaust to go with it now. Think I'm gonna modify the Scorpion system I currently have to a twin.
Rear bumpers finally done, just needs fitting now which I can hopefully get done tomorrow.
