Thanks for stopping by and please keep us posted on the progression of your modifications.
It's good to see some modded RWD cars as well, since the FWD models seem to have the majority of posts in this and the performance forum. Also good to have a girlfriend who's as keen on Volvos as you - or possibly not quite:-) Most ladies get cataclysmically bored at our performance section meetings for obvious reasons - all boy's toys and boy talk. Note to Iain: perhaps we ought to have a ladies' meeting sometime; members could canvass our significant others about what would combine boy's and girl's enjoyment. |

Hi Doug,
I have been watching your progress with this project (with great interest) from the start. I have to say, I love the way you have approached this and can't wait to see the finished engine. When you get that thing fired up, you have to get it on video and post it up on the web!! I think it's gonna be MEAN!! Trick set up on the suspension as well. Keep up the good work and keep us in the "picture". Cheers, |
