Hi!

Let's have a thread about little or great projects... for sharing: small upgrades, tuning, accessories, ideas and other stuff.

Today i made a small experiment in order to see how my headlights will look with magnifiers fitted.
Did anyone actuality fitted something like this?

I know somebody who is using 1.7t from Volvo, swapped into his rally competition cars.
He is using Unichip with custom maps at around 240hp... with no other major engine modifications (as he states). Anyway, it's a quite expensive solution. This custom ECU is about 1000$.
There are other solutions like race cylinder heads with larger air inlets and other mechanical solutions, explained here: http://www.volvoclub.org.uk/460turbo.shtml and on the 480-europe forum.

I tried to give her an American wood look but it doesn't look OK, so I gave up.

It's possible to find one from a 480. It might fit.
There are some results on the 480 forum: click
Cheers.

No manufacture has made any strut braces for the 400s, any that exist are custom made afaik.
