i found a 98 S70 glt auto with 120k for SUPER CHEAP !!!

what all should i do with it ? i'm not familiar at all with the car

i was thinkin : 16T , straightpipe exhaust , fmic intercooler , speedtuning or upsolute tune @ 15psi or so , gut it , 1.5" inch drop front and back (or kw coilovers if i can find the $$$ for it) , M56 swap as soon as i source one out ...

what else ? na cam ? i'm not trying to go crazy or anything (i still need to finish my S60) , i told my dad i'd build him an autocross car before he retires , i'm thinkin this will be a good choice

I thought you couldn't drive standard because of your back? I would also get a Quaife lsd, sways, etc. if you're going to track it.

the post says im building an autocross car for my dad :)

yeah , i cant drive a manual very much without being in alot of pain (pushing the clutch pulls on my back) , i would only be driving it a little for build purposes , tweaking , and a bit of fun before he takes it

oh i forgot about the lsd , but will i really need the sways with it lowered and gutted ? i wont have as much body roll with a lower center of gravity and weight reduction , it will be up to him if he takes it to the track or just uses it as a fun car
