« on: March 10, 2010, 09:07:46 AM »
Hi!

ErikS from Volvospeed, finally ready to get tuning!

5 speed swap (M56HK) from a 2002 C70 .... check
Quaife LSD .... check
Turbotuner .... check

Going to plug in the TT this afternoon, and then update to the latest version.  Going to start with the base tuned map and have fun with it for a while.

Thanks guys, beeewn following Hussien's and Jan's progress and have been learning a lot.  Hopefully when the time comes I'll get some help from you guys when I have questions .....

Mirror covers were from EuroSport tuning, but they don't seem to carry them now, but a quick search on Ebay (autolampsplus) for Volvo LED mirror covers should point you in the right direction.

$80.00 USD I believe ...

Loaded the base performance tune and went for a quick spin just now, grinning ear to ear.  I haven't driven a manual in 8-9 years ...

The stick really makes it a different car doesn't it.  I was ready to sell my car just before I converted and I have no plans on selling it now.

I went from stick to auto :)

But that's because I don't actually tune my car anymore - it's just a workhorse for TT development!

Tell me about it!  He helped troubleshoot some installation problems last night (I'm not exactly computer savvy) remotely from across the pond.

Now I can ditch the IPD tune!
