I couple of months ago I bought a 1998 S70 (NA). It is a automatic, cold weather package, leather, and 122K miles. But now it is time to start adding to her. Been looking at this site for a while to get some ideas.
I know I want:
euro side markers
fog lamps
headlight bulbs
rims w/tires (from 15" up to something 17")
grill
tint
plus unknown proformance ungrades ........... not sure what is just for show or a real improvement.
Would like to get some feed back from the PRO's. Current repair issues are front spoiler (cracked on drivers fog lamp insert), antenna (of course), drivers side rear lock accuator (won't unlock with others), and overall and complete detailing.
I seem to be having some trouble posting images. I used the help section, but it appears I did something worng.
by the way ........ I am in Indianapolis, Indiana maybe this could be the start of a Midwest Crew .......... Just Kidding NW CREW!

Would also like to know what preformance upgrades could be done. Remember she isn't a turbo. Sorry for all the questions I sure this would be alot easier for me if I just moved to the NW.
I was thinking:
Brakes
Air Intake
Exhaust
Suspension

I wouldn't say I was LURKING too much. I had trouble getting logged in. So today I set a new email address and then posted. And as far as the NW Crew being famous. If you are on this site for more than 3 1/2 minutes you would see something about the crew. But if all goes well and the mods don't go too deep into my pocket the MW Crew will be representing ................. OH IL MI MO KY WI IA MN and IN !!! I am not trying to start a problem, but the VCOA National Meet is going to be in our backyard ............... See you all in Kansas City 09.16.2005 !!!
