JollySipper Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 There's a company that makes kits to mount a 5 cylinder turbo Volvo engine in the P1800......... To me that would be the ultimate "canyon carver"! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drifting a car in the process of getting through a turn as quickly as humanly possible in a race is one thing. Smoking the tires while going in silly circles is something else entirely.

No performance upgrades, no really suspension upgrades to speak of. I can't leave things stock, so this thing bugs me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you looked at volvo,s own performance upgrade? Its called polestar and because it is Volvo that made it all warranty's (if there still are any) will be valid It is avaliable from year 2005 and up on XC90 You should buy 2 of these and put it on the front fenders to match the grille emblem?

In the same sense that stomping on the gas in a straight line is not racing. Edited August 21, 2020 by fumi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deuces ll Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 Yeah, I find that annoying also... Take it to the track!.... Do a search on drifting on the I-94 freeway here in Detroit... Those guys should have got 15 or better in the State Pen... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
