hey
Volvo's are so sweeet.......
basically my first car at 18 was a s40 1.9 t, bought it used for about 10 grand with 59,000 miles and it was a 2001. i added a big stereo system to it with sub woofers (500 watts, new speakers and a new deck. It was ill. On top of that I used the turbo constantly, and wud put the car in 'L' gear and shift up, i know its bad. Basically you would think i would have a problem? well guess what, i had no problems, and i used the turbo a lot, the car lights were dimming, and you can see how robust these cars are. Well, later i turned around and sold the car for 8,250 without the sound system, it had 75,000 miles on it. So, it retained its value, and i only had it for a year.
After that,at 19, i ended up with another volvo, a 2001 s80 t6, WHAT A DIFFERENCE, so much elegance around me, fully loaded, had 45k mileage, and I got it from the delearship for 18k. Its ice white with black trim, and i love it, the interior is sooo nice! this car is very underated for pickup, has a nice twin turbo which can really move off the line, and knowing how i like speed, i brought it up to 145 mph, and it was smmoooooth!! no vibrations, handling is another plus....for such a big car its greatt...
this is the new system going into my car, powered by a jl 500/1 monoblock amp!!!!!!

The thing im looking for are ideas to revolutionize my t6 is a body kit and other ideas that can spiff up the exterior to add some uniqueness to it...any ideas?

Welcome to the T6 club. It truly is an excellent car. Powerful and elegant at the same time.

RE: hey
thanks!
its a b**** to keep it clean with all the dust that gets on it, i clean every week and a half, and those rims with all that brake dust lol!
its such an 'ill' looking car, and i think its very underestimated for how fast it is!( you can say that with all volvo's though lol)

RE: hey
I had the same problems. So much dust and brake dust and such. I finally got around to cleaning it periodically (until I leave it on the street again).
The pictures in my cardomain link are the cleaneset it's ever been.
