Actually, the whole undercarriage has about 3/32" to 1/8" thick of undercoating. It's as if the factory dipped the whole car in because even the brake cables and such are covered with the stuff. Later!TornadoRed said:
I think the only way to avoid dash cracks is to avoid exposure to the sun. There is no protectant you can spray on or wipe on that will do the job.jackbombay said:
The billys, F&R sways, and sport springs are fabulous. It lowered her about 1 1/2" as can be seen and compared from the initial post's pics to the recent new pics. Not as harsh of a ride as I was expecting and it's incredible how much more confident I am with her handling now. I haven't really tested her on a windy road as of yet but, I will be driving her from here in the LA area up to Laguna Seca raceway in Monterey,CA on Thursday for the Moto GP race and I'm sure she will be tested at some point of the round trip.

Jason, If you drop a link to some of these e-codes and if they are not stupid money, I will do just that. Would IPT+ have those? Later!compu_85 said:You should install drop in ecodes to replace the DOT squares

Later!Harvieux said:Just got back from Laguna Seca and this Volvo was amazing. We pulled the grape vine at a solid 45 mph with a pretty good load aboard. Flawless to and from. No, not a TDI by any stretch but, she's not a slug either. Not a drop of oil burned and I would say she got about 33-34 mpg but, I was running 75-80 mph most of the way. I think I could possibly get 38-40 running 58-60 mph but, that will never happen with me, know whadda mean?
Truth be told, it weighs about 50 pounds more than an A4 Jetta wagon.VeeDubTDI said:Not bad economy for such a boat!
I will also be using it for my duties as a track official at Laguna Seca raceway. It is a demo unit with about 80 hours on it and I got a smokin deal. $5K + in options were free such as deluxe top with glass windshield and wiper assy., power dump bed hydraulics, HD front brush guards, bed liner, fender guards, CV boot guards, Deluxe lighting package with turn signals, brake lights, hazzards, etc., top mounted work lights, floor mats, 854 cc Yanmar 3TNV70 3 cylinder Diesel. Picture below is the actual unit. It will be shipped in from Missouri and should be here in less than a week. Later!

I have private land contacts in Paso Robles but, I am more in tune to heading to AZ and going for the Havalinas. Hello? You know, like this! Later!
Wow that sounds mean!! Wish I could make my TDI sound like that!jackbombay said:
Since I got such a decent deal on that Gator, I figured I had better go ahead and acquire the Warn 3000 lbs. John Deere winch assembly which includes the front reciever hitch as well. I also ordered the Garmin Foretrex 201 wrist mount GPS unit so we can venture off anywhere without worry of getting lost. Later!VeeDubTDI said:
