My girl has one (99 v70 glt), her father (01 v70 2.4T) her mom (01 v70 t5) and her brother (01 s60 t5). I recently purchased a 98 c70 hpt, she is purple and just stunning. When i saw the for sale sign in her i knew she was mine. And when i got closer i fell in love, as she already had ipd badges on her
An absolute state of extacy when i registered her in my name. And it would remain that way for a short 24 hours.. The very night i reg her, i brought her to work and put 4 new hankook tires, oil service and air filter under the hood to show my love. Then when my shift ended i rolled her onto the highway and thats where the trouble began lol. She did great coasting at 90mph, until i had the bright idea to hammer the throttle before my close inspection and proper stage 0. I disrespected her and she promptly smacked me, hard.. A shutter and a blinking cel...Oh crap. Being decently mechanically inclined i figued it just needed plugs wires etc. Pulled into the driveway at 10pm and started doing my thing. Being the paranoid person i am i went ahead with a compression test, and found that i killed cyl 2. No compression at all
At this point im sad, ive had the car less than two days total and ive nearly killed her. So right now she is at a vlovo specialty shop i bring my girl's family cars's to, the guy who owns the shop drpped a borescope in the cyl and confirmed that i did not need a new motor ( which i was worried about cause i drove it nearly 60 miles on that dead miss). We figure i burnt a valve, so the top end is being overhauled throughout this coming week. Im anxious to get her back and complete what is left of my stage 0 and to go from there. Thats my story, sad but true lol.
