Recently, I bought Bleu off of a fellow Turbobricker (Propov8r), so now the next stage in her life is about to unfold. I'll be posting progress, changes, and more here as time goes on. The previous build thread can be found here.
It was on a dark January day that Prop drove from NC to deliver this fair lady to me. I have to say, I've already fallen for the car and can understand why Prop had such a hard time coming to selling it.
How she sat when I bought it.
*dat ass tho*
She's been affectionately renamed "Volvo #2: Electric Boogaloo" or "Boogie" for short.
Right now, I'm finalizing the Title transfer (having to register outside where I currently live sucks) but I am extremely excited to see where this goes.
Currently on my list of plans over the next couple months/years are:
-Full coils built on the Billy HDs currently in the car
-Roll over correction
-Install 22mm rear sway
-Install new shifter
-Camber plates to make sure I'm not "stance-bro-ing" the car
-Roll fenders (the right way)
-Centerline AutoDrag (Is if I can find them, but IIs otherwise) in 16x8/9
-Bring the boost back up a little (not to the 20 that Prop got it too, because much like him, I'm too afraid)
-Struggle to find an LSD for the rear end
-Install the electric mirrors
-Add 4 channel Amp and sub
-Add e-fan for hills/long drives
-Corbeau front seats
-Slowly switch to black interior
-Late model "round" headlight conversion (so if anyone wants the ecodes later...)
Oh! and by the way, in case you were wondering what I was upgrading from..
here.
So you can imagine my excitement.
Anyways, more is coming, so stay tuned! (though progress will likely be slow)
