Just picked up my 2002 Black/black P5. Five speed, 70k miles. Drove this thing 10 hours back to TN from PA on sunday and here it is the moment we pulled in the drive-

So far im very happy with it. Not super fast but the five speed makes it quick enough.
This car will be my DD as my wife drives this-

and my fast car is this-

So im here from the Volvo Tuning Community which is fairly obscure to most I would assume.
So far the P5 has received 6000k HIDs and new speakers all around.

Here's to hoping I learn some neat stuff here.

No I put them in on sunday. I had a set of H7 bulbs and some exrta ballasts laying around.

Its pretty soft compared to Koni yellows and Eibach springs, haha
But it is sporty for a stock vehicle

Welcome! Great to see people still buying the P5...Makes even more sense these days with the current economy and gas prices etc...(thumb)
Be sure to keep us updated with your progress (be careful though...Hanging around here will cause you to spend money on your P5 :p ) and enjoy the forums! :D
Ps...Nice Volvos! (cool)
