ErikS Posted September 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2014 Looks good! Did you receive the steering wheel?? You have your front V2s at full drop? I don't think they are all the way down, but they are close. My fender liners were widened and the fenders are rolled. I got the wheel but may wait to install it, thanks Mark! Any pictures of the dash reinforcement? No, instead of metals tabs a resin was used around the mount points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad850 Posted September 18, 2014 Report Share Posted September 18, 2014 So you just filled the area with resin? I did the metal tab method and it didn't seem to work at all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErikS Posted September 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2014 So you just filled the area with resin? I did the metal tab method and it didn't seem to work at all. I was told metal tabs while better mounts make a stress point where they attach to the plastic, so resin was used along the mounts and firewall.

Smiles855R Posted September 18, 2014 Report Share Posted September 18, 2014 Small update. New dash is in and reinforced, feels super solid. Going gold on the rear S60 R and front boxter S calipers with red brembo decals. For those interested the boxter S monoblock calipers fit perfect (edit: with slight modification) with CJ's brackets and the S60 R rotors. All said an done it was an $800 front Porsche BBK kit. What modification was needed, with CJ's brackets? I pick up some 01 Carrera 4 AWD 996351426 996351425($450), which I believe are the same as the Boxster S calipers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am assuming they bolt on and if there is an issue it's an apparent and easy fix. There is a 4 mm difference between the Porsche and Volvo R rotors. For those that want to know here is the PN and caliper models.

Johann Posted September 21, 2014 Report Share Posted September 21, 2014 They appear suspiciously similar to the 996 calipers in size. If they are they won't clear pegs. a minimal 3 mm spacer is needed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NEU Posted November 25, 2014 Report Share Posted November 25, 2014 Good choice on kids car seat! I've got the Recaro Pro-ride for my son in my R and my wife's Forester. For my car I used a foam pool noodle under the base to make it sit flatter. Which helps save my R seats a bit. We flip it to forward facing just before he was 3yrs. Only thing is I wish our cars had the bottom anchors like the p2 cars. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
