I havent really heard to many people fixing up the S40's.The first thing I would do it open the waste gate a little more to increase boost a little more.I would like to see some S40's tricked out and fast.But there just arent that many out there.But on the other hand with money people can do anything.I have seen an S70 done up that would top out at 170 mph.It was by a player of the miami dolphins.

s40 has alot of potential, and there are people modding them.
don't know if you have the new or old s40.
receiving the most publicity right now is probably evolve.
www.ipdusa.com is great for volvos but doesn't really carry many s40 products.
a great site to check out is s40concepts.net - a site devoted specifically for s40's
and also www.volvomotorsports.com
