Svenska, that's really cool. You could always go with airbags and drop the car when you're riding sans bambinos. :D Even after completely removing the spring from my wagon, it was no where near as low as my friend's type 3 Ghia.....(This is not photoshopped!) http://img485.imageshack.us/img485/1699/...

Ah, Ozark man, you called my bluff! Yes, I was just trying to get a chuckle. My friend and I tried to go ghetto and cut a half coil off the springs. This won't work!! The springs have a smaller end coil on the top AND the bottom, resulting in a freaky-scary strut of death when you put it back togeth...

Lowered my 1998 V70 HARDCORE

I didn't even realize this until a few days later when I looked under the car and saw the shiny new ...

Amp
No idea about the amp...sorry. I think a few other threads touch on it lightly. I also had difficulty finding decent resources online when it came to the stereo's wiring. That's why I posted that photo of the connectors. Most stereo stuff I've just figured out for myself with a little help here and ...

Amp & Wiring
No, my car did not have that little extra amp that some Volvos have. I didn't use any wiring diagrams to hook up my hi/lo converter. I wanted to be sure of everything, so I opened the rubber snakes that house the wires at the leading inside edge of the back doors to figure out which color wires went...

simple OBDII reader
I rented a very basic OBDII reader from autozone for free when I first bought my used volvo...just to take a peek. They charge 180 and then refund it when you bring it back. this reader is ultra simple though.
