Got another Volvo R and orange content
#1
Hi, so I thought I'd update you all with what I'm driving currently. After my previous S70 2.5 LPT I thought I'd upgrade it slight and bought my self this, an S70R manual in saffron Smile  the colour is love or hate. 

The spec is remap, decat, exhaust, bigger injectors Forge actuator, Walbro pump, reverse IC, coilovers etc. Running anything over 280 BHP and it's great fun.

It's usually the V70R that gets all the attention, don't think I've even seen the S70R before. Nice!

In my opinion that is the colour to go for. Looks excellent Wink

I saw a red one of these in Basingstoke on Saturday, quite fancied one Big Grin

You probably would't have Pebbles as these are so rare, there are only 5 registered Saffron manuals in this country.

These manual R's came with 250 BHP 18T tubro and a poor man LSD which is basically a vicous coupling between the drive shafts and it get pretty good traction compare to my old less powerful car.

But thank you Smile

I think I have seen that one before in Bracknell, it had a shiny exhaust tip and sounded lovely.

My mate had an 850R manual saloon, pulled like a train and sounded awesome, the 5 cylinder engine is a peach

Awesome car! Not sure on the colour, but I was expecting the hideous orange interior on the later V70Rs!
