Maker Motorsports C30 Diffuser

As the co-founder of Maker Motorsports, we are always excited to see when customers creatively use our products in unique ways.  I myself have always attempted to make something that is different from what others have.

On my old S40, I took our standard S40 diffuser fins and mounted them on an additional bumper trim piece.  This was then bolted to my factory bumper, to give a clean aftermarket appearance.

On my new car, rather than just using the three fins included in the C30 package, I opted for a four fin set up.

The standard T5 dual exhaust cutouts were widened to adapt my quad exhaust tips.

For anyone interested in purchasing their own diffuser fin set, they can be purchased online through the Maker Motorsports ebay store.

A Milestone and a Small Mark

Earlier this month, I passed the 100,000 mile mark. Of course, hitting 100k miles is pretty common for cars nowadays.  Even 200k miles is well within the life expectancy of a "modern" car.  But that doesn't make it any less special.

Immediately following this kodak moment, I mounted my Volvo Heritage Club badges.

Volvo Heritage Club Badges

The Volvo Heritage Club has replaced the traditional Volvo High Mileage Club.  While they continue to give badges for each major milestone, they now reward Volvo owners for their loyalty to the brand.  Because my family has owned at least one Volvo for the last ten years, we were able to apply for the "Ten Years" badge.


As I embark on a journey to reach 200k miles, I added a small tick mark to the top of my steering wheel.

Originally used in race cars, the tick mark is visible in the driver's peripheral vision, making them aware of when the steering wheel is straight.  Some might consider this "modification" to be ricey, but it truly does make a difference during autocross events and even for daily driving.
