Where's my vehicle enthusiasts?

[fusez]

I drive a 1998 Volvo V40 with the 1.9 turbocharged gasoline engine converted to FlexFuel. I always drive it on E85. (over 11 000km on E85 so far)

Bought the owner history from TraFiCom (Finnish vehicle registration agency) some time ago and by the looks of it the car has had around a million owners in Finland alone, and on top of that it's a German import, so more stuff going on before 2006 over there.



Some of the mods previous owners have installed include:

-40mm lowered springs

16% Window tint on the rear windows

Simons exhaust with wideband oxygen sensor & PLX gauge

Wastegate bleed valve (Boost adjuster, basically)

Adjustable fuel pressure regulator

Boost gauge

Weird "racing-style" stripes on the bonnet



Personally, I've

Replaced the upholstery

Installed the FlexFuel conversion kit

Made my own projector headlights for the car

And of course serviced and repaired it as needed.



Engine makes 200HP from the factory, assuming it makes a tad bit more now on ethanol. Getting a power slip for it this summer.

v40's are nice cars. I do like wagons, and they're relatively cheap and can be found with 160-200hp stock quite often.

I own a a v40 phase 1.5 from -03. I love it.
