    Default Slightly Modified

    Take a look at the pics of my modified '99 v70 XC in the "Site Wide News" section.

    Well, I modified my angle gear by replacing the burned out one that clanked and leaked angle gear oil and smoked, with a new one that runs clean. And I put 4 new tires on my XC-SE so the angle gear won't blow out again any time soon. So my $3100 for mods has all gone into repairs. I'll have to start saving so I can get those bling wheels that I have my eye on, and the K&N air cleaner. I think I still have enough $$$ to buy some fuzzy dice for the mirror.
    Won't you guys be glad when I get over my PTSD about the %@!!*& angle gear?

    Default too much to list

    I am planning on Quickbrick endlinks, IPD sways, Upper cross bar, Rotor and brake pad upgradefor the front and rear, shocks and springs, maybe an external tranny cooler(if available), larger turbo, downpipe, cat to OEM dual (R) exhaust with IPD tips and ICU upgrade. I am already doing stage 1 on the car and will not do anything else to the car until I know that it is perfect running condition.

    My list is almost identical to Hunter's. Focusing on stage 0 at the time but once I get that out of the way and a little cash in reserve I am planning on building on badass XC-R! I don't want to race it at the strip. My main goal is to build a car to drive very quickly up and over the mountain passes here in Colorado. Can't wait to see the look on all those audis and bmws as I go flying by! See my sig for a better idea of what I have planned!
    White 1998 V70 XC Stock for NOW!


    Dreams-
    Finish Stage 0, iPD ECU, EST/iPD Dual Exhaust, downpipe, 16T, rear wing, iPD sways, Quickbrick end links, strut brace. I think that will make a pretty fun XC-R!

    I forgot, Rodrigo- those citi lights look sweet! Could you give me some insight as to how you did that?

    Default I want to add one more thing.

    Rodrigo's iPillar is a work of art. I would add the two gauge to the list. It looks like it came with the car. Great job Rodrigo. I am putting your product on my birthday list. (too late for the Christmas list-LOL)

    Well strictly speeking I don't have an XC, but I have modified my car quite a bit in the last 3 1/2 years of ownership.

    I would say that the best cosmetic modification would be the 2004 C70 Crystal clear lights.

    The best performance modification would be the bigger racing brakes as IMHO the stock ones are C**P

    I hope my opinion is welcome.
