Yeah buddy! I’m all about dat Volvo T5 life

My 99 Volvo T5 with manual running 16 pounds of boost


Naked 5 pot

And my C70 T5 also manual

My aunt had one that I used to drive while I lived in Australia. She hated it because it didn’t turn off right away. It was the turbo timer from factory…

She would force the car off

Yeah i’m pretty picky on interior details.
I like red or beige leather.
I really hate boring interiors like you would find in most VAG cars.
Also one thing i really dont like are those modern digital dashboards,
with digital speed meters and such.
I really like traditional analog speed and rpm meters.
Allot of new cars nowdays show all digital speed meters and such,
i really dont like that.

Its one of the reasons why i didnt boaght a Citroen DS3.
Because it has a digital speedo meter.

The new Mazda 2 and Mazda 3 unfortunatlly also have that.

Digital speedo’s are a lot better than they used to be.

Yeah but for example the new Mazda 3 has a large normal analog rpm meter in the center of the dash.
And a very small digital display for speed, and i just dont like that.
You see similar designs with allot of modern cars.
It really looks soo playstation like to me.
I just like to have 2 big round clocks.

Yeah i know i can be pretty picky on small details like that.

This is the interior I want in my Volvo. I know a lot of people won’t care for it though, but IDAF :grin:

I love those old retro gauge clusters (I’m weird like that I guess) haha

Yeah those retro clusers are indeed pretty cool.

Everyone has something there “picky” about, and though I do like the retro digital gauges it’s more about the novelty then function, because analog gauges are way more functional, but I will miss them all thanks to LCD gauges.

Mazda has been doing that for over 10 years
RX8’s dash

Whoa! That beautiful red line at 9k makes me get all giddy inside.

It’s actually 9400 :wink:

Yeah exactlly that.
it doesnt look too bad, but somehow its just looks a bit strange to me.

If you look at the Alfa Romeo Giullia for example,
that one has 2 analog meters and a digital meter in the center.
And that is something that i do like better.


?
I don’t like the way it mixes, looks like analog with a digital display thrown in. Too many cars do that

That is the Giullietta or Mito dash, nice looking by the way.
But i mean the Giullia dash.

I wasn’t sure were the rev limiter was, and that’s why I said red line, but it makes you feel even more like a hoonigan when they let you push it into the red :heart_eyes:

My Escort red lines at 7k, but the limiter is set at 7200 so you can push it a little, and I love it

Its a Diesel cluster.
