I am new to this forum and this is my first post that i have done. I have owned my 1998 V70XC for well over a year and i'm thinking of doing some performance modifications. The question is "What could i put in to increase the performance?" I have a general idea but was hoping this forum could give me some feedback on some upgrades that i haven't thought of.

Thank you.

 

Tires, Tires, Tires.

That and a good, full tuneup. It'll have a lost probably 20+HP over the last 15 years, so changing out all the filters, cleaning the intake system, and setting the alignment will work wonders.

 

Maybe you could give us just a bit more of a clue as to what kind of "performance" upgrade you're interested in? Engine HP, how much? Suspension? Both? This for street, track, autoX?

And like the other fellow said, have you done stage0 yet?

 

I'm getting that done in a matter of a couple weeks. But to be more clear HP gain and maybe up the boost. Sorry for the confusion.

 

Oh and this is for the street maybe a few car shows here and there. And after the stage 0 maybe 15+ HP gain.

 

Weight loss!

If you don't need the back seats, spare tire, etc, ditch 'em!
