How’s the Volvo scene over in Hawaii ?

[Jeff Kepeli]

People love their Volvo's here in Hawaii / Not much action for performance scene / I do not follow car clubs.
I bought my first Volvo in 2005. I have owned 3 Volvos over the past 16 years Great driving cars and easy to work on.
The V50 is my second car for performance upgrades / The K016 kit was purchased and took about 8 hours to install.
I did not know a 2.5 liter engine could develop so much power.. 260 KW with no lag from turbo ..
No tickets as of today / No places to really open the vehicle up to feel the performance
I live on an island with the world's worst roads / natural speed bumps...

Dan B (Portland, OR)
1984 244DL off-road sedan, lifted, added turbo, M46 swap (looking for a complete WC T5 swap), built for Gambler 500 events and shenanigans
We found this on a farm out in North Plains, OR where it had been sitting for over 3 years and bought it for only $1. Towed it to the garage, installed new spark plugs and a new battery and it started right up but needed lots of work.

1959 PV544 that I'm in the process of restoring with the intent of becoming my daily driver. At some point a previous owner swapped the engine for a B18D and upgraded to a 12 volt system

Enjoying my Neverending Project thus far

I love how the PNW section of this forum is like the most active of every region of the U.S.
