M/B injectors, MSD box, whoknowswhat rear springs. Good luck figuring this mess out if it quits.

Passing any kind of sniff test in some places will be a challenge.

Somebody shook the Volvo Tree again.
'00V70R, in the firm grip of a tuner/flipper it looks like. Converted to a 6-speed (!), everything aft of the engine replaced recently...

The maker of the ad hasn't checked in yet.
Hard to say where the installation was done.

It's a tuned-port from ca. '92-'97, and as I recall was not well-respected. Knew a guy who had a Corvette from that era. He hated the car, not just because of the factory-installed squeaks, but the engine was nothing but trouble, and seemed to be resting on the laurels of the much earlier high performance motor with the same factory designation; that one was a stout piece.

'91 245 NA 5 speed, TMU, lots of blue bits under.

Still not a big fan of later wheels with spacers - 20mm behind these.

Subframe damage is noted, and a trailer hitch could mean a hard life.

Yeah, I dislike the look of high offset FWD wheels on older RWD cars. I don't understand it.

It's funny, I always read TMU as Too Many Unknowns.

Sounds a bit like a flipper, but he's owned it for a while, so, slow motion flip.

Added some things to a pretty plain car, but looks good.
