spotting the 3rd row seats

if you look at pictures, (autotrader, e-bay) or if you are on a car lot after hours, you will be able to see seatbelts suspended from the ceiling along the sides and going through the floor of the rear cargo area. These are for the 3rd row passengers when the seat is flipped up.

are bilsteins really worth the price?

What kind of ride change is there using them? Any noticable difference than say a new set of stock OEM shocks?

I'm all for a smoother ride on my 95 850 wagon. :lol:

No bl...

milkshake

kris, before you go to the trouble of swapping out entire engine, (the mileage just isn't high enough to consider it yet) consider: 1) replacing the head gasket. After removing head, have it checked for a true surface. It may have warped some if the engine overheated. 2) if this doesn't solve your p...

just got a chip

As for the exhaust, He actually asked me if I wanted a more powerful upgrade than what I was planning on buying, and I told him as long as I didn't have to do any other mods (exhaust, intakes, etc). He then recommended to stick with the chip upgrade that I ended up buying. off topic: Phoenix huh? Wo...

got a new chip

No, I did not get a Dyno test. However, the power increase is most notable! The surge, especially before the turbo kicks in, is much more powerful than before I swapped the chip. And after the Tubo kicks in,....well, lets say a smile does not do justice to describe my face! The web site charts for m...

chipping the V70

I just got a chip upgrade for my 95 850 turbo. Oh my!!!!! Does it zoom now. The dyno test showed about a 50 hp increase. I got my ECU socket soldered so I can always swap out the chip to a better one in the future or when I sell the car, can put the old chip back in. I researched several chipping co...
