new guy.

hey everybody, I’m mike R.

found the site while looking for a local dyno.

i’m currently a mod on volvospeed.com and heavily involved with V70R.com. Both Volvo websites. There doesn’t seem to be a huge local group of volvos, but i know a local chapter of VCOA was just started.

i have a 1998 V70R modded nicely. couple months ago sold off my 04V70R. my DD is a 08 honda accord which isn’t to bad for a free work car.( i have no plans to mod it)

Here is a pic and a little about my car if your interested.

Welcome.

how many cases of beer can you haul.

haha. quite a few. i’ve put some pretty heavy things in the back of my wagons before. good gas mileage also.

that is a good looking wagon
welcome

thanks.

currently running in FWD. i was replacing the drive shaft last weekend when i discovered volvo in its wisdom, had a part break mid year and of course i had the wrong drive shaft. Car drives fine in FWD but having some lane changing torque steer.

welcome & nice wagon.

thanks everybody,

the car has been a love hate deal. with the miles on her lots of maintenance needed. i’m running out of things to replace so thats good.

do you guys have a suggestion for a dyno? i keep calling speed nation but nobody answers and theres a dyno in N. huntington that nobody answers as well.

here’s a dirty engine pic but you get the idea.

there are some super sweet wagons out there. i love the sleeper aspect.

I love modded Volvos.

Check out OSTDyno.com and tell him Nick B. sent you.
