I'm new to the forum here and am pretty excited to be a part of the volvo community. I know volvo has a great following and community and is one of the reasons I ended up getting a volvo. I recently picked up a 2000 v70R, its got 120k miles and its pretty clean. It still has a few problems to be resolved that popped up just after I bought it but am working to get it fixed. Anyways I'm from the NW and am ready to go to some events and start meeting some new volvo fans. Here's the new ride.

Welcome aboard! 2000 R has plenty of potential to be relatively quick and fun without too much work. What're your plans for it?

I really just want to get it running well first off haha but afterwards I plan on going with a tune, exhaust, wheels and some suspension components and then we'll see where it goes from there.

Check out the pinned topics in the subforums here, lots of good info. Searching for "stage 0" should pull a good list a maintenance stuff to knock out before trying to make it faster. A tune from ARD will make the best bang for buck when you're ready kick it up a notch.
