Yeppers. All stock except for the exhaust and a set of Volans. I bought it with 120k on it over 2 years ago for $2900. I recently replaced the seats with a set out of a 99 V70. It's relatively clean for the most part, except for the bumpers. It spent most of it's life parked on the streets of Chicago before I bought it, so they're dinged up. We put 40k on it the first year we had it, but lately it's only been getting driven a few hundred miles a month. I plan on DD'ing it all winter and bought a set of 15's with snows on them last weekend.

I'll never get rid of it and was getting bored with it, so I decided I'd put some money into it to make it fun again, I remember how much fun it was after first getting it, when I went to a turbo from an N/A. When I picked up in Indiana I was driving like a jackass on I-94 on the way back, in the throttle constantly.

I've run a few other tunes in it before...a BSR stage 1, an UpSolute and an IPD for a little bit. I liked the BSR a lot, the IPD was okay and the UpSolute wasn't all that impressive..just a lot of boost and nothing to go with it.
