Thanks to all who had positive comments. For the record, no it will not drag frame, more of just a low reference. Yes car was on philly CL so I took a ride down and couldn't pass it up. The wheels are owned by my neighbor, I refinished them a couple years ago for him, hopefully they will be mine in a couple months. If he doesn't want to get rid of them its not the end of the world. There are plenty more 3 piece wheels out there begging to be refinished. No specific time frame per-say because I'm at school. Only event it needs to be done by is h2oi 2012 which is about a year from now. Hopefully its just the head gasket. Typical symptoms of blowing pressure out of coolant tank, puttering noise, and milky oil.

As for the engine I might throw some n/a cams in the head while its off. Not really looking to go performance at the moment on this one. Time will tell, just concentrating on low for now. Hope I answered everyone's questions.

bastard.....gary...that dumb fuck at the counter at the east coast gas station. asshole said no one has put cash in his hand. i talked to him on saturday and said i was coming to look at it. then talked to him yesterday morning and he said come and get it. still available.

went by there @ 2pm and he said oh its sold now. this would have been BTCC v2.0 ehh at least it went to a VS'er i dont need a 3rd volvo for sure dont need two NON running Volvos in the driveway and both nautic blues in the garage = 4 volvos at the same time. just getting greedy volvo hog like Justin!

Sorry about that...I guess haha. He was your standard issue used car salesman. I purchased it around noon I want to say. Its still in the volvo community which is good and hopefully it will be one of the few aggressive fitment volvos.

Take a look at ezaccessory.com I got mine there at a comparable price. They also sell some cool lugnuts.

how are these ones different than the eBay ones? They look the same. I've always been hesitant due to non-hubcentric, but always been tempted due to their price. But didn't want to rick possibly dying over some shitty spacers, ya dig?

[kalvin]

Not sure on the difference but if you want something that you know is not going to fail you, save the extra cash and shell out for a slightly more expensive set of 100% custom ones from adaptec. That's what I'm running in the front.

[exexpat]

Are you Rebounder on StanceWorks? I'd do Motorsport-Tech/Adaptec (same company) for around $300 for four and make sure wheel and adapter is hubcentric. How cheap are the ones you ordered?

I don't think hes rebounder. Rebounder always has ridiculous questions about his v70r. For the record I have the same username on SW.

Now let me ask you exexpat, what makes motorsport-tech/adaptec different than adapt it usa?

Everything is made in house, to your custom specs. Chances are Adapt-it outsources...kind of like Adaptec did, before they got bought out by Motorsport-tech. I purchased my hubcentric/wheelcentric spacers through them as well. Also did a write up about them

Nah, my sn on stanceworks is brass fish.

I am about as low as I can possibly go with my current setup and still be dd capable. The prospect of going lower is just to tempting.

[T.Q.]

Monoblocks on a P80 I cannot wait to see this, I hope you can snatch those wheels!!

[gdizzle]

Approve.
