UPDATE FEB: 11:

TD04HL-18t straight flanged turbo will be put on the car as soon as I receive it. Thanks to RK Autotechnik and Kaplhenke Racing for the custom spacers. Here's some more pics of the car with the Porsche 993TT Calipers:

Got the Porsche BBK on with 16.5mm spacers and extended bolts. Also added a Volvo OEM carbon fiber spark plug cover.

UPDATE DEC. 17: I purchased Porsche 993tt/Brembo 4 piston calipers for the front. The kit includes 330mm rotors, and mounting brackets. I also picked up Stainless Steel brake lines, and 15mm H&R spacers. BMC CDA intake should be here anyday. All these mods will go on pretty soon.

UPDATE NOV. 19: I took some pics the other day. I sent out my ecu to RICA to get an ECU reflash, and I will be getting a bigger turbo, and downpipe. I bought a BMC CDA Air Intake but it isn't here yet.

UPDATE OCT. 14: I bought 2004 C70 Jewel Healights and
car look even better. Don't have any pics yet with them installed. Tomorrow I am getting the front windows tinted with 20% tint. Here are some pics I took not too long ago. Sepia madness!

UPDATE SEPT. 28: Installed the ATech IC, Greddy Type-S BOV, Engine Oil Lines, Samco Coolant Hoses. I am now running 18 PSI of boost. Here's some pics.

UPDATE SEPT. 15: I recently purchased an Atech all aluminum intercooler, as well as a Greddy Type-S BOV. I also put a C70 bumper on the front of my car which looks sick. I'll be installing stuff on the 24th so I'll put some pics up then.

UPDATE July 24: No new mods, cause everything was done yesterday. Tonight I went out and took some pictures of my ride, and I'm just putting them up here.

UPDATE July 23: I installed a manual boost controller today, and also installed a AutoMeter Phantom boost gauge. Right now I'm running the turbo at 15 PSI. I also installed Samco silicone hoses since I blew out a hose last week. I also took some pics of the exhaust system from below the car. About two weeks ago, I got 5% tint on the reaer windows. It makes the car look a lot better. About an hour after I got the tints, I entered my car into a local european car show, and got a trophy. Pretty cool.

UPDATE July 1: I got the exhaust installed yesterday. It's a 3" SS pipe coming from the cat back which then goes to a 2 1/2" pipe which then branches off to two, 2 1/2 Magnaflow mufflers. To compliment the mufflers, it has two Silverline oval tips. It sounds great, and the car also performs better. I also purchased a larger intake manifold and a larger throttle body.

I just put Volvo Comet rims on my car with Continental Extreme Contact tires (225/45/ZR17) and I painted the calipers red.
