Default Volvo V70 T5

One of my friends picked one of these old beasts up from the market last night. He came round earlier & gave me a wee blast in it.
**** me was i suprised, the old beast can go.
With all the toys as well & what a sound when on boost

Just my 2p's worth.

Yep awesome midrange easily chipped (RICA) to over 300BHP. Love their front tyres for lunch. Engine based on the UR Quattro 5 pot. Go on forever...Traction is the only issue.

It isn't. It is a 2.3 5 cylinder though, but made out of differnt materials, different gearbox, one's transverse the other longitudinal. Different in almost every way apart from the number of cylinders, valves and displacement.

SOUNDS like a quattro though
