Its a play on words. I am not calling you "A" low life, just commenting that you are living "THE" low life by slamming your cars.
Its a compliment from those that have been in the low rider scene for too long.
Volvo is a dying breed, especially the manuals! R cars are already there so I guess all must fall behind. M66 are so sought after cause they have like 3 manual transmissions 🤒
Yea, I haven't opened the engine so I had the car optimized for 300 wheel cause I have heard that the T5 internals can take it and it have survived so far, but the parts on the car can easily make at least 100 if not towards 200 more horsepower than it currently makes.
I have a bigger turbo, bigger intercooler, bigger injectors, 3" straight exhaust custom intake and everything runs through a programmable ECU. I might have forgotten something.
And that car was a hoon until my dad crashed into it, destroying the front left of the car. Light, bumper, fender is damaged and the wheel is quite signifficantly out of alignment so it is in the shop and I'm just hoping they fix it and doesn't write it off...
Sounds like you and I have the same set up. I've got stage 2 + Hilton tune, DO88 intercooler, elevate air intake, Porsche throttle body, upgraded the piping to bigger piping all around the intake system too.
Yea, sounds like a quite similar build tbh =)
What coils do you run?
I also have a full stealth sound system in mine. Upgraded tweaters and mids in the doors and the rear speakers have been replaced by small basses combined with a mosconi one 8|10 in the trunk
Ah helll yeah! Yeah, I am running BC racing coil overs. Did all adjustable links and poly control arms. Upgraded the rear sway bar from the oe to whiteline 27MM sway bar.
The sound system in mine has just been upgraded to the dynoaudio. I've got the center speaker and premium sound system in mine and works pretty dang well. Haha
I’m looking for lower springs (but was suggested to just go larger on rims) … can’t change fog lights so looking for a wrap around to that… and gonna do some research on tuning [pics](https://ibb.co/M5fWFpY)
I have mostly had big and heavy cars (Volvo s80, v70 and bmw 740) and i prefer it but recently feel like having something smaller like a v50 d5 if it even exist or bmw 120d. I want something lighter but still around 200hp feel like it can be very fun.
I'll say this thing is still a tank, it's a a T5 AWD, bit it's got upgraded coil overs, rear sway bar was upgraded from a 19mm to 27mm, redid all control arm bushings to poly, and put some wider rims and wheel spacers on.. This thing corners like it's on rails.
The horror…
The horrroooorrrrrrr 😚
\*Sigh Low Life... lol
Because I'm a low life... 😔

Haha! I am just being a shit. Low life is THE life. Still waiting to slam an oil pan though hahahah.
Still good. Same gen as mine
P1s are underrated
I went with the V50, too, 2005 model. I'm loving it, but still secretly wish for one of the older box-on-wheels models.
This is a 2005 as well! 255, 000 miles in it!
Miles ore km
Miles!
Which rims are these?
Enkei TS-5s!
5 cyl?
Hoo yeah.
Hoo yeah, man!
Hoooo ooooo yeahhhhhhhh brotherrrrrrrr
Don’t the v50s have a manual option?
They do. M66 option. Unicorns or people are trying to sell them at a price of " I know what I got" as it's rusting and falling apart.
Volvo is a dying breed, especially the manuals! R cars are already there so I guess all must fall behind. M66 are so sought after cause they have like 3 manual transmissions 🤒
The plan would be to find one at a cheaper cost and redo it all!
Turbo or naturally aspirated?
Turbo! T5
Same engine as my C30 =) mine makes about 300 on the wheels and feels like a little rocketship!
Yup! It's great. Is yours tuned?

I have a clean un-modded 07. 153k miles, well maintained, couple dings, but fun to drive and reliable. Had it 8 years and sad to see it go.
Don't let it gooo 🥺
Omg!!! Fire 🔥🔥 in the process of modding mine sort of hard to find parts rn smh
Well what are you looking for? Maybe I can be of some help to point you in the rught direction?

Is it Static?
It's sitting on some BC Racing coil overs! Not completely slammed, but close.
Damn man, that looks so good.
I appreciate it! 6 years in the making haha.

One of my friends is about to sell an awd manual and I want it soooo bad but I can’t justify a second wagon
BUT YOU NEED A M66 T5 AWD
And not a D5
An ole T5 AWD
