Okay, I just have to know why you were at a Volvo gathering? I can't believe nobody else asked yet. I mean, that has to be one of the strangest things ever said on this board.

I'm friends with some guy's from a company called R-sport International. They tune and modify 1, 2, 7, and 9 series Volvo's.

http://www.r-sportinternational.com/

My best Friend Rob actually has helped build some of the parts they sell.

The demand has to be so high I'll bet they can hardly make them fast enough. Laughing

The advantage is that most of the ones that are 20+ years old don't end up in the junkyards. Its like the volvo community has their own "green" recycling plan.

That being said...I've sent 1 volvo to a junkyard, but there wasn't much of it left by the time it got there.

180awhp out of a turbo'd 5 cyl @ 10psi... It feels so much faster than that. I think something is amiss.

Most of us have learned...when Dirty Steve is involved, we don't dare ask questions.

A fondness for mud bogging! Maybe something to do with personal hygene as well, but Ian would know better than me.

We can't really tell you, this is a family friendly forum....or maybe that gives you a hint.
