1988 Volvo 360 GLE (I guess mine is an R too...)

Volvo R-Sport engine tuning kit (later items no longer available!)
-- Twin Solex ADDHE 40 Carbs (Like Weber DCOE / Dellorto DHLA)
-- 'K' grind camshaft
-- (Soon - electric fan conversion)
-- (Soon - performance exhaust)
Rolling road tuned at Power Engineering. 138bhp & 145lb/ft.
To give you an idea, that's a greater proportional increase than the *claimed* figure for a RICA chipped 850 T5 - the biggest increase offered AFAIK. :D
With the e-fan and exhaust, I'm shooting for the mid 140s - not bad for an almost stock 2.0 8v!

Genuine Accessories (pimp!)
-- Full additional gauge set
-- Ultra-rare Driving Computer (MPG, etc...looks like a taxi meter!)
-- 15x5.5" 400-series 5-spoke 'Canis' alloys
-- (Soon - Bodykit)

Aftermarket audio toys
-- Pioneer CD player
-- JL Audio e4300 4x45w power amp (measured at 12v!!)
-- Alpine SPR 5" components
-- £20 10" sub :)
-- (Soon - 2x 8" stealth-sub build)

That'll do for now :) There are various little bits here and there, and I've probably forgotten something...but that'll do for now

cheers

James
