      Lovely. One of my favourites.

      How effective is your rear strut?

      What is XYZ chassis?

          Nice!

          Is the rear a coilover strut?

            Thanks!

            I don´t know how effective the rear strut is... But it feels good having it

            The chassi is from http://xyz-sweden.com/. It´s a cheaper but ok chassi. Will go for KW or H&R when I come across one.

            I noticed this weekend that these two cars have the same lines.

                Had some work done this sommer. The car is now more like a street legal race car

                Things fixed
                - Oil service engine/gearbox/differential
                - Fartfabriken.se gearshift kit
                - Group N map
                - KW Clubsport kit 2015
                - Millway.se front topmounts
                - Millway.se rear topmount
                - Millway.se bushings trailerarm front and rear delrin
                - Millway.se differential bushing delrin
                - Millway.se adjustible rear axel kit
                - Rideheight/cornerweight
                - Fartfabriken.se rear wing mounts
                - Rear diffusor Never done
                - Sparco steering wheel and snapoff
                - Fartfabriken.se front splitter

                In the dyno - first OEM box 285,9 hk and 312 Nm at the wheels


                Then Group N-box 299,5 hk and 334,9 Nm at the wheel


                Both diagrams


                Some pictures of the result

                      That was the plan. When I dynoed the car and saw the outcome of my s50 I didn´t think the effort to change to a S54 was worth the little gain in hp and torque. The dynos from S54 I have seen has been around 300 hp at the wheels which I already have. So the S54 is now sold.

                          Your rear wing looks really functional?
                          S54 Titan Silver metallic. Black leather, most factory options including sunroof, Becker Cascade and Becker Silverstone changer.

                            Yes i´m very happy how the wing works.

                            The car is more stable when breaking and has more grip through corners. It is almost impossible to drift with it if the track is dry.

                            Contact www.fartfabriken.se, they can set you up with the parts needed.

                              A new season has started after a very hectic winter. A lot of things has been done to make the car even faster and therefore the car will need some adjustments in the beginning.

                              Last Monday I drove the car on the Kinnekulle track in Lidköping with a swedish Volvo tuner called Autotech.

                              To this event I had my private drone pilot who took some really nice pictures and film!
