pics of the new car (new to me anyway)
Sunday, March 29, 2009 6:27 PM
98 volvo s70 T5M. This is a 5 cyl 20 valve turbo motor. They only imported 284 from 1998-2000. These are pretty rare to find. Stock they have 238hp and 246tq. With a good tune (Approx $700) power increase to just over 300hp and 320tq. It is a very smooth ride and has lots of pick up. Currently now (stock) it peaks at 11psi on a 16t turbo. Comments and criticism always welcome. Thanks

Nice car. It's classy, Ballsy enough to race (if you so choose). But also looks just plain comfy to drive.

I say well done.

Very nice car man!

Start saving money for when you need new brakes/exhaust/suspension work though. Trust me.

Have fun!!!

thanks. Also repairs really arent that bad. I just did replace the rear rotors and pads. ended up being about 150 bucks for the rotors and pads. Not bad at all. Also on the site I joined www.volvospeed.com there is a volvo dealership that someone knows the people on the inside and can get oem genuine parts from for next to nothing.

they are too bright with the black car IMO
