So I just got this S70 T5. It has around 85,000 miles on it. My tune up plans include:

Have ABS Module rebuilt $130
Samco turbo & coolant hoses $320
NGK Iridium plugs $50
OE Cap & Rotor $30
Magnecor Wires $200
MSD Ignition coil $110

I already swapped the oil over to Mobil 1 10-30, and a Volvo filter. I also fixed the stupid antenna (and is it me, or is that thing huge?) Replaced the gas cap to fix some (P0455) evaporative emissions gross leak code it was throwing. The brakes seem to be in pretty good shape.

So am I missing anything else? The car's bone stock right now, but I plan an 18T w/ turboback exhuast and a RICA chip, so I figured I may as well spend money now and do things right from the get-go.

you got all the "stuff that might die when an 18T is installed" fixed up

mod away!

sounds good, theirs a list of stages to go thru to mid up/fix up ur car...
sorry i lost all my bookmarks tho since my firefix restarted on me...
but i bet some one will post it up for ya....

Nebor, I would make sure that you complete all of the stage 0 list and a few other things too. The 90k mile dealer service includes a cabin filter, air filter, and fuel filter which I would suggest also in addition to the other things you listed. Make sure you do the vac lines, 02 sensors, and transflush too. It probably wouldn't hurt to do the thermostat and a coolant flush while you are doing all the other tune up stuff. Maybe a brake flush is in order for you too?
