It's definitely something to consider. I'll probably always have a Volvo but I won't modify one again. On 6/22/2017 at 1:01 PM, gmsgltr said: Looks good... you need clear side markers now! Also, are the calipers just plain gold or do they have the brembo emblem on em? They are gold with red Brembo logo. They are going to be red with white brenbi logo pretty quickly though.

gmsgltr 1,915 Report post Posted June 26, 2017 How do you store the black S70? Unplug battery? Tender? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BlackT5 738 Report post Posted June 26, 2017 In the garage with the battery unhooked. The T-5R just sat for 18 months. I bought it but never actually drove it before. I have a bunch of batteries from all my different parts cars, so i'll typically throw in the best one I have. I often have to give them a bit of a charge first though.

With how good they look, you would think they'd want to show 'em off a bit more on the streets. That is a great question. I've had mine for over two years and I've driven it a whopping 564 miles. The last two guys hardly drove it, either. It's done 20k miles since 2010. In my case, it's probably because I bought it with a seized engine and then bought a yellow T-5R estate in the middle of planning my build.......and having another working car / another car to spend time working on has allowed / caused me to drag my feet on that build something awful.

Timbo Slice 3,489 Report post Posted June 28, 2017 Rear muffler delete? How's it sound?? I've been thinking about doing this, but the crack upstream near the flex joint gives my XC plenty of growl 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
