Hi, I'm new to these forums.

I'm trying to get into the mod scene. I'm mostly looking for performance. Anyone have any suggestions? Actually it might be better to ask... is it worth it to mod my S80? I'm just looking to do it for fun. I enjoy driving it a lot but I feel like it deserves some improvements.

I guess I'm looking for a suggestion to start with like... should I start by replacing the Intake (I got the suggestion from an old co-worker a long time ago)? Possibly some tips. Any sort of guidance is appreciated :D

Andrei

firstly, get your engine to stage 0. new plugs, wires, filter, hoses, synth oil/tranny fluid, timing belt(if needed), etc. then you can work from there. check out ipd.com for ideas. start slow. don't forget with an upgrade of power, you will need brakes, suspension, etc. better to work in stages. good luck and post some pics.

Thanks, that sounds like a good starting point.

ipd.com is some investment site or something lol. Google tells me you meant ipdusa.com

I will post pics as soon as I can.
