That's a sweet deal you got there. What's the switches do? One's an auto transmission "power mode" thing, right? Cool volvo, what rims are those?

Thank you
Yeah, its an sr20det redtop, transmission, nissan wiring harness, stock welded rear diff, custom driveshaft, coilover kits. Motor is basicly stock except for the front mount, exhaust and cone filter and a bit more boost.
The power mode overide is the "party mode" switch and the lock switch was an attempt to make the center diff 50/50 on demand, haven't finished that yet.

Damn you, just when i think i've shaken the volvo bug you managed to bring it right back. Thanks a lot! That thing is nasty! I've already done an 850 and a 740, a 240 might be next! (Subie is cool too btw)

Well my Legacy has had some work done to it, mainly maintnance and repairs, but thats boring so heres some pics of the mods LOL
Little history on the car is that it was once a taxi haha, she is still ticking strong and reliable as hell at 441,000KM's(274,000miles)
It's got some new fenders from the j/y rattle can'd white/1 and a half coils cut of each corner.
03 WRX hood scoop
Lip from home depot
Boost gauge and narrow band a/f gauges I had laying around
And my favorite is a complete 5-speed swap from a 91 Legacy waiting to go in.

All the turbo legacys in your town? Do they grow on trees up there? Haha. To this day I have yet to see another turbo legacy on the streets.
Sweet car you got there. I like the volvo too.

Dude the blue looks good! You are turning yours into exactly what I am, winter/rally car

. I want to get a roll cage done first before I really start giving it at rally events. Hopefully bmxkelowna can help me out with that because his cage is wicked.

that volvo is fucking sick. Dammit i miss mine, i wish i had done a 1jz or an rb instead of the stupid 5.0 ford junk i used instead. SR20 is def a sweet choice, lots of aftermarket support, and a damn good engine. that must be a ton of fun to drive!

Summers, gotta ditch them and go to stockers for summer cause these things are too heavy.
This is obviously the car on the top of my inspiration list.
