Hey everyone !

Since last year, I've had the rally fever and may actually have the means and time to participate this year.

I drive a 2004 Volvo S60r ... I'm signing onto the forums to learn as much as I can to see if this is a possibility.

A bit about me:
26 years old, working for Toyota. Love to work on my own cars, and have a passion for car audio. Not too much extra time for car meets, however I'm more than willing to take time off for a track day at Thunderhill or Buttonwillow raceways.

Hope to make some buddies, and be a participant.

are you drunk?? Recently mormon?? MBjr v. 2.0 = :meatspin:


IMHO that body-kit doesn't do anything for me. Side skirts are obtuse and that black strip down the middle of them is out of place.

no offense, i guess its one of the better Volvos out there...


I do hope you can join us though! If you are anything like our previous Volvo enthusiasts (well the better half of them), your personality will make up for the car :rofl:.
I really don't hate Volvo's, just having a little fun. Looking forward to this year, hope you make it.

5cyclinder turbo's make great cars though I am not a fan of any Volvo post ford besides the s60r

Hopefully I can finally figure out the ECU on my S70 turbo so I can take it on the AKA otherwise it will be something from Japan

Heh, that black bottom peice is actually part of the door.

Yes we have weird lower door molding.

Front body kit #1 is somewhere on Highway 5 here in California. :(

Front body kit #2 is at Body shop.

Actually. Since its an 04.

ALL the side molding (middle of the door, front bumper inserts) were black... unpainted.

It was horrible.

Bodyshop will do the bottom moldings along with the bodykit front.

Front should resemble minus the painted hood. http://image.motortrend.com/f/features/performance/9518034+pheader/112_0702_01l+2006_evolve_volvo_s60r+right_front_vi ew.jpg

haha.

how is the damage? can the bumper buff out?

Its bent up pretty bad in a few stress spots. Mainly where it meets the trunklid. The sides are bowed outward.

New rear bumper needed.

New rear skirt needed.

Taillights too since both are slightly cracked due to the bumper pushing on it.

I think my exhaust is bent.
