"One of the older tricks in the VW/Audi playbook. Porsche wheels are always hot on basically anything." I find it amusing how some people still dont realize that VS is a Volvo forum and not a VW forum... Someone please direct the confused individuals to vwvortex I come here to discuss Volvos, not listen to someone recount how well they know the VW scene.

Thank you Spencer for finally posting some logical thought on the stance craze! And +1 to what you say about pegs. I'm not tryin to impress anyone with how different my car is, I mod it for my own purposes, so it makes me happy when I look at it and when I drive it, and pegs do that for me. whats this spreadsheet you speak of?

If you have enough alcohol in your system the virus won't be able to live in you Just an idea... :lol:

do share! please!

Did you go to a high school prom Danny? :lol:

just make sure she doesn't know your real name, doesn't know where you live, and has no other way to find you. then you can disappear when her "18 year old"-ness starts to show. and dude, the yellow wagon with a seriously limited production body kit doesn't help lol

lol, yes

After some thinking I decided I might keep the C. It will still be for sale for my full asking price of $8000, but unless someone offers that, I'm holding on to it. However, the seal on the rear window is leaking, meaning I need to pull the glass and seal, repaint the quarter panel and put everything back together. Anyone know of somewhere I could take the car already prepped just to get it sprayed? Some place that does GOOD work and hopefully somewhat affordable. I could drive to Seattle for this if necessary.

Decided to sell the C70. Thought I'd let you all know so it can hopefully be sold in the PNW to someone who will appreciate what I've done with it. I think the ad will be showing up in for sale soon.

v70r works s60r does not work 30forty50 works

...if only that really worked :lol:

that was at my parent's house, but yeah your right. I need a garage too :(

kinda like the people who keep calling me (including angry drug dealers and creditors) looking for clover brooks i'm so gonna call my old number looking for myself :lol:

sounds like fun, 971 222 9487

sweet, we has our own off topic thread i guess its also the thread for random clutch/transmission questions from people in arizona :arob:

whats to say that they wont try to cut costs at some point by shipping parts from china, since they are being made there anyways, instead of paying european contractors to build them as volvo does now? http://www.autoblog.com/2010/05/19/video-geely-panda-gets-to-stuntin/#continued so shitty they need e brakes, j turns and synchronized driving to try and make them appealing... fail. I really hope geely keeps their decision making within their own shitty car brand

this is why i love VS, no poking hippies around here :)

I think it will depend on how and to whom Geely markets Volvo. Anything has got to be better (from our point of view) than: "Theres more to life than a Volvo. Thats why you drive one." That sort of marketing is definitely not going to attract buyers who will modify their vehicles. However, I do believe any increase in performance oriented after-market support that evolves will be for models in production and wont trickle down to our 870's or P2's. There will simply never be enough kids trying to buy clear taillights etc for Volvos to warrant cheap, high production volume parts, and people with $4000 cars usually don't have the cash to buy high priced, low production volume parts the way people with 30k to 50k brand new cars do. Does anyone know anything about Geely's stance on availability of oem parts for older cars through the dealers?

"Later during the first year of production, the all-new S60 will also become available as a 2.0 GTDi variant (T5) producing 240 hp and torque of 320 Nm. Furthermore, there will be a 1.6-litre GTDi engine available in two versions: 180 hp (T4) and 150 hp (T3) with torque of 240 Nm." "T5 2.0 4-cyl in-line 240 bhp 320 Nm" wtf

is there any benefit in terms of oil flow or oil pressure from doing this mod?

I'm not sure i like the yellow wheels on a blue car. maybe a race prepped white body car with lots of sponsor stickers... ;)
