my plan is to try and make a 6sp and angle gear off a S60R work. Im in contact with the local volvo reps that I know from my dealership days so hopefully we can sort the electronics out and make it happen. Doing the base line dyno sometime next week.

Did you talk to Scott?

The mechanical aspect is not what I'm worried about, it's the electronics and AWD that I'm interested in. I want to keep the AWD and it is of course a 2000 so the electronics are an issue. There is a group of us working on this, I am the only one interested in keeping the AWD. Anyone interested in details contact me off the board and I will give you my thoughts.

I am considering driving directly north out of Dallas to meet up with the CO guys. Keep me in the loop on what you guys are doing. Are you guys planning a 2 or 3 day drive out...or are you going to go bonzi and do a one day deal?

we are thinking of doing it in two days so that we can get a good 8 or nine hours in a day. but its up to the guys. well will keep you in the loop, it would be awesome if you guys wanted to come up here early have a little meet and drive in the mountains and then head on out.

I do not think anyone else from TX is very serious about it. There's another local that might beable to come with me but he posts mostly on turbo bricks.

If y'all get a plan together or want to chat on the phone or PM about it shoot me a PM and we'll get in depth. I honestly would not mind coming out to CO and making a week out of it...I think that would be killer.

I like the idea of a 2 day drive...give us time to stop for photos, eat, etc.

Im not huge into camping so I will be getting a hotel.

I may go. I have not decided yet. Still a little too early to tell. It would be a good time to go see the family for a few days and then come back to Florida for an internship. Depends on what I have for a job and internship at the time.

Maybe some of the other Florida guys will want to caravan up with me. Ill be getting a hotel as well, if someone wants to split the cost of one I can book a double. I think I remember Joe showing some interest in this.

Keep be up on what hotel you stay at. Not sure if I will be able to share or not, depends who I bring with me.

I was going to do Spring Break in South Padre but I think I will end up doing this and modding my car more instead. This is the week after I get out of school (for good!) so it'll be a nice reward for myself.

I really want to cruise up the east coast so I'll either drive to FL and cruise up with you guys or meet the CO guys and cruise with them.

Lets get this rolling.

East coast drive is rather boring. Since its really not along the coast, its out in the middle of the woods for most of the ride. I would do whatever is shorter but thats up to you. It would be nice to have a decent caravan going up to Carlisle though. I just hope that its not like the FixxFest caravan...
