just because your brakes are full of grooves does not mean they need to be replaced. I mean look at the mini... the brakes look like swiss cheese and I have not replaced those...

I tried to reason with him. It's so easy to make the 850 and V70 a 300hp engine. An iPd reflash with a weak exhaust takes the V70R up to 285hp/290tq... Couple more lbs of boost and a few more mods and you're easily 300hp... Or upgrade to an 18t or 19t and that would also solve the 300hp quest. Mmmmmm I can't wait!

if you do hit that 300hp mark you should move your rear brakes to the front and get new rear brakes...

you guys say mod the 2.3 to get 300, how about reflash and mod the 2.5 and get 400, 400 sounds better then 300, hahaha just my thoughts anyway do your best to ignore them if you can

Looks good Tim, I know my girl and I seriously considered buying
a Volvo C30 before we found out she got some kinda credit from
her company to buy a Subaru. Damned nice car anyway.
