'98 Volvo S70 - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

nigga nacho · 06-07-2003, 10:07 PM

I currently own a 1998 Volvo S70, non-turbo. Now without the turbo, making this car "fast" and raceable would be fairly difficult and very expensive. I would like to at least make it look nice, though. Some ideas of mine are to: 1) drop the car, make it lower; 2) Get some bigger rims, 18's if they fit, if not, 17's. 3) Get a better looking grill. The stock grills look like shit, to me. 4) MAYBE get a body kit. I don't want one of those ricey kits, I want a nice Euro kit. 5) I'm gonna get a badass clean sound system

The problem is, I dont konw where to find any of these parts or anything. I know a place that can drop the car and I know a place that can get me a good deal on audio. I'd like to know where to buy a clean looking grill. I'd also like some suggestions on the rims that would fit the car.

Thanks

Oh yeah, the car is black with tinted windows.

I don't want one of those ricey kits

Then why drop it?

Just get a set of racing springs or performance springs, don't chop anything.

Actually, you should look at sites in Europe. http://www.kalmar-union.com/ is just one. Look for Volvo Forums as well.

Find out your offset and bolt pattern and go to www.tirerack.com, www.1010.tires.com to see what is out there.

Maybe it is a hood bulge for a blown small block? Just kidding, although I have seen a few of the early eighties sedans with 5.0L Fords in them.
