yeah, if you can keep it and keep bringing it closer and closer to "real" replica BTCC status, do it! :)

I'd like to keep it, but my driveway is really crowded. Its a auto. Yes we can do a swap. That will be considered if i still have it next winter.

grille looks soo much better black. are you going to put the slash back on?

why the hell would u sell this car? i think its way cooler than the C70 vert.. dont take that the wrong way, the vert is nice.. but the BTCC is just way cooler.. keep up the good work and cant wait to see it!

Volvo slash is going back on with a yellow and black moose though. So is a 16t. Brother, if you owned these cars, you would favor the vert over a stickered up 850 LOL, plus its a MANUAL with 18t.

Hey its a 97! Some of it is paint too!!! It does have some work done to it. Exhaust, D/P, stereo, HIDz.......You only say that because you were busy looking at

when you were at my shop yesterday or was it the 2000 lincoln town car with 24's parked next to it?

But its the thought that counts dude...it looks way cool!

spoiler is going to need some work too. i am going to get it up to BTCC replica status with a few minor updates and the car running and driving 100% first. right now car is at 95% because it lacks more powa(16t sitting on the shelf) and a decent tune.

I got HORRIBLE GAS mileage with that POS in this car. one tank got me 150miles!!!! car idles smooth, no more fuel smelling exhaust. the previous owner was a idiot for keeping that crap in the car all this time. this car must have cost him a fortune to run. he was running this way for 6 to 7 years!!!! jeez

Is that a homemade MBC?

homo depot maybe

afroenginneered :lol:

you made me LOL!! that mbc is what one might call a cheap skate. boost should be controlled via ECU to maximize fuel efficiency.previous owner put 60,000miles on this car with it this way. i averaged 7-10mpg @ $2.50 average for gas. 7500gallons of fuel = $19,000 in fuel vs the same car getting 20mpg costing $7500 for 60k miles!!! jeez!!!
