In the winter of 2019 the build started and the car got an extensive amount of parts upgraded and work carried out on it. It was tuned by Robert Hilton. The car has both pump gas and E85 tunes, I am including the laptop I use to change the tune with the car. The car is currently on E85 and has 130,000 miles. The car ran mid 13 second 1/4 mile when I had the interior out for sound deadening on a Draggy. Test drives for serious buyers only. For the person who buys it, I don’t mind doing a compression test or anything else you’d like to see.

Fluids:
When I first bought the car and did the fluid changes in 2015 at 80,000 miles I used AMSOIL engine oil and Volvo fluids everywhere else until in 2019 I switched over to the following fluids and have been using them ever since.
Engine Oil – Motul 8100
Transmission – Redline D4 ATF
Angle Gear – Volvo
Differential – Volvo
Haldex – Volvo
Coolant – Volvo with Motul MoCOOL
Exterior:
The exterior is in excellent condition, you have to look hard to find the minor dings and scratches. There is one section of the back bumper cover that has some scratched in the paint and shows the white plastic underneath. This is how I bought the car and looks the same as it did in 2015, you can see this in the pictures.
In 2015 I decontaminated the paint, and polished the entire car, and did that a few times a year. In 2018 I took it further and completed a mild paint correction/compound followed by polishing. In the Fall of 2020 I completed the same decontamination and followed by Adams Advanced Graphene Ceramic coating. I have not had to polish the car since and have applied ceramic coating 2 times since.
The 5mm H&R rear wheel spacers that are installed really help the visual stance of the vehicle matched with IPD leveling inserts to flush out the rear wheel wells to match front. The fronts are naturally wider in wheel base than the rear. There is no tire rub anywhere with this setup.
The car is equipped with the rare factory installed Class III 2″ trailer hitch.
What Needs Attention:
The car has aged exceptionally well. There is nothing wrong with the vehicle and everything operates as intended. If you have specific questions please ask.
Low Priority – Probably the one thing I overlooked when I built this car was the ball joints, I never replaced them. The front driver side ball joint clicks/knocks a little when the suspension loads and unloads.
Low Priority – A couple of the zipties holding the 6mm silicone tubing supplying pressure to the exhaust dump pipe actuator broke causing the tubing to hang down enough to rub on the driveshaft. The silicone tubing section needs to replaced if you want to run the dump tube.
