I love the look of the R model wagon. Especially that blue. If only a five speed manual would have been available.
Enjoy!

Uhhhh man.. once I have some money for a better car, a laser blue V70R will be mine.

Very nice car mang, one of my favorite colors on one of my favorite Volvos.

very sweet, love the sub setup

[CAPT_BLOTTO]

gangsta!

[beckzach05]

I'm diggin the color.

[Jordan]

good god thats nice looking

[CAPT_BLOTTO]

tell me about the sub box!

ported bandpasses? etc etc?

you make it?

[CaptainWhoosh]

Nicely done, care to share the secret of ur sub install?

[leurven]

I had the sub box made. It is a sealed box and the volume is suitable for those W6V2s (I forget what they need exactly). The box took my guy over 40 hours to make and it has two chambers. It was made with MDF framing and then done with fiberglass. The glass was then sanded down all the way to 1500 grit paper to what it is now. They then wrapped the suede over it (this took forever I was told to make no wrinkles). The subs sound very tight and there is no rattling whatsoever. I would like to say I made it but my skills do not stretch that far. My friend who did the whole install has being doing it for years and he takes care over everything he does. I am very pleased with the results and the suede is still adhesed even after all the hot summer days (yay for tint).

[CAPT_BLOTTO]

very nice

my fabrication skills arent quite there either... yet.

But maybe i can get a job on monday at a car audio place.

[CaptainWhoosh]

Again, nicely done car!

[leurven]

I love strippers and your rims.

[romantt8]

Wow, I like that alot.

[m4ld0.^]

DAMN THATS SO HOT!!! lazerblue FTW

[Crazychopstick]

What size tire do you have on there? Looks a little stretched. I'm sure Chig would approve.

Awesome car though, nice work on the audio side. And that's one of my (and several other Volvoheads) favorite colors!

[Brickster151]

I hate your car John.

It makes me want to get rid of mine and find a Laser Blue :-(

Haha thanks Pat.

I had BFG Scorchers before. They were 215/40/17 which were too narrow and had no rim protector built in (they came with the wheels.. I now have the Vredestein Ultracs in 225/45/17.
