Atspeed will not be running until later announcements. As for the S40 its not going to do very well. A lot of through no fault of its own but still.

Ya I know I found this out on the speedworldchallenge site, sucks! So okay this year is not a great idea for the motorsport section, understood.

I don't mean to shoot down ideas (well, I do- but not in a nasty way) but I don't think a motorsports section would live long as a thread. So far, all races involving a volvo have been posted in news because that's precisely what it is. There isn't a substantial amount of volvo action in the racing scene. There's already a section for those that drag or race their cars but the ATspeed volvos don't apply there. Creating a section soley for Atspeed would probably be as lively as Scott's project 6 thread. There would be spurts every now and then but nothing significant.

What I'm trying to encourage is support! I completely agree with you but I think it's somewhat sad that a motorsports section "might" not last. Also the section can contain more then just Atspeed, we also have riley racing that just started, some european races and we can throw in F1, and whatever else of interest. Look at other forums such as MWERKS and VWvortex their motorsports section do well, Swedespeed's section is a little slow but VS is at a faster pace and believe it would move a little better.

Nobody likes me?

Good job Grant!

Volvospeed was one of the first volvo forums I found, vptuning and swedespeed where the two others. I slowly started to spend more of my time on VS then the two other sites mainly for the quick pace of the site. Bay 13, moderators and members have helped me out a great deal and I am very thankfull.

I think VS has improved tremendously, but like you said Chuck; "With the world changing, new cars coming out, new members coming and going, we too must change and adapt." The S60 project car was and is a great start and believe it will gather a lot of interest but we need a P2 section, like javadoc stated; "We are 'typecast' though, and you're right Charles, need more P2 membership and interest. That 'other' site seems to have a strangle-hold on that market, but that can easily change with support for those owners." I would also like to see a motosport section to show our support to volvo motorsports. I enjoyed and was happy to see Atspeed spending some time on the forum. I like to be in touch with the "small vendors" and support them since thy support us! Volvospeed is very powerfull and members are a big influence to the sites success. Good job guys, and thank you.

I hope all that makes sense, I'm tired, didn't re-read it.

Merry Christmas and all the best for the New Year!

No need really. If it gets so busy it starts to cost me a lot of money I will but other wise I just want to help.

Cool, thats nice of you. Just hope some wont take advantage...

Very good idea, great work guys!

Why don't you charge a fee once the item has been sold?

I might try to put a package deal together with the DVD and a t-shirt. We have some really cool t-shirts with a cartoon style picture of the Volvo on front and below the picture it says "Volvo S60R 2.5 liters 500 horsepower". On the back of the shirt it says "At Speed Motorsports". I'm going to talk with Charles about putting something together.

Please do so! I'm in for sure!

Thanks mines fixed!

As always very nice pics.

I like the rocks/dirt in the air!

Looks awsome! Lot's of work!

Nice cars, nice pictures... thanks for sharing :)

If you can see through the smoke, I'm sure gages wheels would be in motion!

I voted gage! All very well shots however!

Nice car! Definately bigger rims or lowering is in order.

Agree! Very nice find!

So all of a sudden FSD's can be intergraded with lowering springs :huh:

Kids, kids, kids... If/when I do a lip on this, it won't be anything crazy, it will be just like the one on gattigang's car (formerly on Will's car), and not stick out that far, 1-2" at the very most...

That would look perfect Carson!

The front is way low now as it is... a CF lip would be a waste of money, he would have to replace it with in a month.

What's half an inch more... especially to protect that front bumper

Wow the car looks awsome Carson. The black grill looks fine to me I wouldn't bother changing it. I personally think some sort of carbon fiber lip would tie in great... but looks great already!

F@ck the AMG, keep the wagon man! At least for a year, enjoy it!

javadoc:

oh yeah! slap kevin all you want... ur in Alaska I get the KW's!!!!!!!!!!! :P

Oh and that wagon is hot! I would buy it for 17! But I don't have that kind of $$$ lying around.

Kevin - HD'S & EST SPRINGS + CASH for your KW'S :)

Oh man!!!

I can't make it, I'm throwing a BBQ that sunday... only if they cancel I will come.

Cool a meet... I might come, I'm last minute tho, do I have to give an answer? Or can I just show up, lot's of people?

I enjoyed scrolling through those shots!
