Thought I'd introduce myself.

NAme's Harald, and I work on older Volvos for fun.

Bought a Fit Sport manual in blue with my wife after I decided to get rid of my 244 this summer. So far no plans for mods as it's under warranty for the next 7 years, or when I decide I'm tired with little things like the stock headlight alignment, the wheel alignment, and the few other little niggles that once figured out should turn this thing into a decent little commuter.

Pics later if you want..it's stock except for the odd scratches it already has I live in the city and there are tons of bad drivers, cyclists, and a notorious lack of off-street parking. Cheers!

 

Probably one of the most practical cars you could ever own. And welcome to the forums yo

 

For sure! I do have to say that I wish I were braver about modding this car. Don't think I'll be doing much besides tint, a *very* slight drop, and a set of BBSs from a Mini if I can come by a set. Warranty's a bitch!

So anyone doing anything crazy to the GEs yet? K20/4 swaps?
Turbos?
Any options for limited slip diffs? (I hate it that it dribbles the ****ing right wheel like a basketball. Poor axles! Certainly miss getting sideways every time that the car breaks traction :-P )
Camshaft and ECU tuning options for the L15A?
Do the gearboxes like to explode much?

So many questions!

 

Welcome aboard!
Judging by the mods on the volvo and the type of questions your interested in I don't think it will take you very long to say "The hell with this warranty, I'm moddin' this thing because I can't stand it any longer"...

 

Yeah I'm not that into CAIs or catbacks :lol:
