Nice car, loving the T-5R style bumper!! You could swing for the fences and paint the car in Volvo's Cream Yellow, plus you should relatively easily be able to surpass the power levels of the T-5R and take advantage of the AWD (I believe the T-5R only came in FWD, correct me if I am wrong) and make this car a damn fast wagon. Keep up the good work

bonne idee! faire un thread dans section des meet!
ya i love the R bumper, it sets off the whole car and also brings out the spoiler (which is ugly without it) Like i said im getting a chip soon, i have a lower model engine than the t5 so my engine cant take quite as much boost, so inless i swap out i'll never be as fast as a chipped R/T5-R.

Update:
I installed Koni shocks all around
Rear Yellows bought used
I made my own bracket to install them onto my car
Front Koni STR.T brand new
Brakes all around: Foster Slotted Rotors with Ceramic Akebono Pads and Stainless flex lines all around
Upgrade front rotors from 11" to 12" and 3 calipers changed.
Installed, also im trying some red mud flaps.
R Tan Suede Door inserts Installed
Just a recent picture
I'm at 281 000 kilometers now, it keeps going. I'm occasionally bringing it to saint eustache lapping. It takes the abuse. It's not perfect.

Haha, thanks. I put my opinion in over there, I didnt think it would escalate like that, but with that guy..
People love bashing, just look at pages 2-5 on this thread.

Passenger seat swapped from electric to manual, for 2 reasons, the motor's never worked, and the the electric seat was too heavy. After I removed the skins and foams I weighed the frame and motors it was 50 pounds, and there were 4 electric motors on it!
Here are some pictures from yesterday, I cleaned up the engine bay for the first time in a while
