Hey hey hay.. i'm not loving the absolute lack of Volvo love here.

I happen to love my volvo, and despite looking like a brick, it moves!

And they are definitly quite tunable. bunch of crap out there, just google volvo tuning! (www.volvospeed.com, www.turbobricks.com...)

A few dubbed rides around K-W have had their asses handed to them courtesy of my bad boy, and more schoolings will come i promise!

The 240 is the best Volvo to tune cause it's so cheap and there is so much room (some argue, i love my 850 though)

**Lennon** · 07-10-2005, 08:45 PM

Haha, right on, (lovin that last pic by the way)

Maybe I'll just hang on to her!

**Asinine** · 07-13-2005, 05:12 PM

If there are points for originality then you need to keep it, and if there are points for speed (and there are) then you should keep it.

Mind you, i think DLs are diesel (yes/no?), so you might have to do an engine swap.... i smell turbo, then turbo upgrade, then suspension, then cosmetics!!!

However, as it stands.. that's one ugly mother f'n car!!

**Lennon** · 07-13-2005, 05:46 PM

Haha, AGREED!

Nah, the DL's are very much a gas engine, (mines the 240 DL) so just a little 4 banger, but shit, with 375,000kms, she's goin pretty damn strong.

So I dunno, we'll see.

you should make a custom bumper, paint it baby blue, and do a matching blue shag carpet interior... oh wait....
