Post by: HiProfile on January 09, 2012, 12:18:21 PM: It's on the verge of being too hella flush, but at least you have power and a painted hood.

We need more porn: pics of girls and pics/info on engine.

Post by: Phate on January 10, 2012, 12:29:16 AM: The wheels aren't my taste, but just about everything else about the car I love. Hoping to build a 740 in the next year two, love RWD volvos. Redblocks are beasts.

they were the right price...volvo bolt pattern is fucked (5x108) and you can get these in whatever offset and PCD you want...for cheap.

Too flush

You must like your anus stretched

Fuck you

:noel:

Post by: ironcrx on January 10, 2012, 12:06:21 PM: Welcome. I like.

Not a fan of the flush thing but to each their own. I don't do it so I don't get laughed at :P

How about some ripper vids 8)

Post by: theidealone on January 10, 2012, 01:23:18 PM: That shits not "hellaflush" gayness. Its just slammed, and the wheels are a tight fit. I think it looks dope. Surprisingly. Its when you buy camber kits to uncorrect your camber, and deep dish staggered BBS wheels on a FWD, that it becomes super gay.

Well done man. Fuckin crutch for a hood prop. LOL.

sometimes, youve gotta race.

fuck me, I managed to break my bellhousing somehow....its a custom machined piece with a 5" hole bored into the trans side of it....my welding guy is going to try to fix it up for me in the morning....we shall see how that works out...

Post by: 97Econobox on January 11, 2012, 09:26:14 AM: I have to be honest getting the lip of the rim closer to the edge of the car almost always looks better IMO. now the tire stretching bullshit or poking the lip of the rim out looks silly and if the bumper is tapered at the end and shows a lot of tire it looks silly too.

VW or not wheel wells look 10 times better when theres a wheel in it that fits and fills it out. doesn't have to be 18's on a civic either, i have 16's on my 4 door cause i think its a good fit.

Post by: weirtech on January 11, 2012, 01:05:37 PM: decent intro for sure. hope you had a decent shit.

Post by: JACER63 on January 11, 2012, 07:17:46 PM: very good intro.. car is sexy as fuck imo.. thats as close to "hella frush" as i would accept. welcome sir..

now fuck you!
Title: Re: intro, needed something to do while I sit on the shitter, so I signed up here
Post by: rvolvor on January 12, 2012, 04:19:10 AM: I wasnt really going for the 'hella flush' look, just dumped with some wheels with low offsets...IIRC my car is one of the lowest in the states that actually has proper suspension setup, that being:
shortened strut tubes
strut inserts for a 97 saab 900
Coleman racing coilover sleeves
Kaplhenke Racing ball-joint spacers, steering quickeners, bump-steer correctors (its a nice cast and machined piece)
Hyperco 300lbx8" coilover springs
ipd 25mm front sway
23mm rear sway
short shocks in the back (some summit brand specials for lowered trucks)
chopped stock turbo springs in the back (so I can still get some decent weight transfer)
Title: Re: intro, needed something to do while I sit on the shitter, so I signed up here
Post by: Cmak on January 12, 2012, 03:31:38 PM: Chopping springs is actually giving you the opposite of weight transfer unless you intentionally make it squat in the back. Reasoning for this: When you shorten a spring or relieve it of coils the spring rate goes up.
Title: Re: intro, needed something to do while I sit on the shitter, so I signed up here
Post by: DasPoop on January 12, 2012, 04:10:12 PM: Tits. What diff setup is in the car. Iirc irs cars were a lot stronger than the solid axle cars.

I think he means he's using a sorta-stiff spring vs a crazy-stiff spring (aftermarket).
Title: Re: intro, needed something to do while I sit on the shitter, so I signed up here
Post by: rvolvor on January 12, 2012, 04:44:43 PM: Yeah, the normal setup guys do on these cars is using almost even spring rates all around (300/300 is a usual setup)....stock turbo springs are rated at 150-ish lbs...so chopped a bit, they are about 200lbs now.

On the note of the diff, 240s never came with IRS, they are all straight axle cars using a Dana 30 rear end...currently I am just running a welded up diff...after I break the next one I am about to install, its going to get a shortened Ford 8.8" from an exploder.
