So I bought a nice 2000 Volvo s70 glt se which was in a small front end collision. The car was deemed salvage with minimum damage I replaced everything including headlights, hood, windshield, radiator and radiator support, and a few other things...last thing to fix is axle seals and inner and outer tie rods on passenger side, then run it thru inspection at the DMV...I hope to get that done within the next couple of days. I went thru the whole engine and replaced vacuum lines air filter spark plugs and other tune up parts. The car drives amazing(driving it on dealer plates) I've been a mechanic for 10 years now and I had a Volvo v70 couple years ago, I've never gotten around to tuning the engine or any mods for that reason. Since this car is not the t5 and its an auto I'm gonna mainly keep it stock, but as with any car I've ever had I plan on getting a tune..I checked idp and other sites for tunes and can't decide on one..any one who has any info on good parts and cheaper tunes that will give it a little more punch, please feel free to chime in, anyways that's my info and I hope to be a contributor to the forum as well as receive a lot of knowledge about the volvos..

So just to recap what I'm looking for:
*Cheaper tune nothing to aggressive for a 2000 (non t5)glt se 2.4
*Best place to buy parts for it(currently I get parts from eeuroparts which is down the road from the shop I'm at)

Thanks in advance
Matt

PS- I am also parting out my 1998 volvo v70 engine is already gone but body is in good shape..good tranny, suspension parts, body parts, interior parts(leather heated seats)etc. The interior is light(almost whitish) tan
