Volvo guys are talking smack about us!!

[Miasma]

Once they find out how rare they are and how much BMW peeps want them and are willing to pay for them, They will quickly resort to the reps I think.

I'm sorry I definitely mistook what you wrote. :) I just like giving praise where it's due. Workin on cars get's tedious as hell.

Especially with the fire damage I had on my car. I was close to giving up. :-/ Getting praise on your hard work makes it worth it! :)

By the way, that "red block" (nostalgia ;-) ) is hot!

This is classic. I love that their 2 ton cars have those cute little turbos.

don't believe everything you see on gran turismo 4.

my old 87 E30 325i SE was about 1200kgs if i remember correctly which is only about 150kgs lighter then my old 87 740 estate turbo

ravennexus01, you must forgive the developers of Gran Turismo 4 for omitting the Volvo 740 Estate Turbo.

In addition to Laguna Seca and Motegi, perhaps they should have included a course "Suburban Tesco Run", involving a balls-out dash to the market to pick up bacon and eggs for Sunday morning's breakfast. I bet the Volvo would have been gangbusters in such a course.

Volvos can be bad ass.

See.. Volvette.

They produce decent power. Listen, anyone with any kind of money can make most any car quick/fast.

I guess I will have to accept the fact that no matter what there will always be ignorant people in the "scene". It's sad honestly. We have something pretty genuine interests in common but you would rather take pot shots at the weight of the car and condescend the small "cute" turbo. Some people say the GT28rs is small and cute too, but can make some wicked power on the right engine.

Regardless of that, there may have been a few people saying they would do it. But as we ALL know the internet is all about talk. It's very easy to talk on the internet about what you plan to do. It is how you get ideas for what you would like to do. Oh yeah, and we didn't "all" say we were going to do it.

Besides it obviously isn't that hard to find a knock off...

Dude, I LIKE Volvo's, but there is a reason that I have BMWs, there is no denying the facts. We are all in it for the sport, and the E30 is a better "sport" car. I'm not taking a cheap "pot shot", nor are we going to sit by a campfire and sing kumbaya.

Oh yeah, if the replicas were a real genuinely GOOD option, we would all have them.

Nothing against you, I think your car looks really, really good. I would give you a thumbs up or a wave if I passed you on the street. But a 245 will never be an E30, sorry.

Wheee!

[akorcovelos]

Hey now ... I drive 2 volvos but I hold a deep respect for E30's. MMMMMMmmmMMMM.

But yeah, I don't consider what's goin on any trash talkin really.


I was wondering what you meant about hack job turbo setups though...:-)

go look at half the set-ups on that site, like a birdsnest gone wrong.

Wheee!

that car is amazing, saw that vid like a year ago and am still in awe.

[550]

To the guy who said a 245 will never be an e30 ... :) I agree. It will be rare that it will look nearly as sexy as well haha. But like someone else said, good for the market haha. Good thing I don't own one of those damn wagons anyways. ;-)

And I love the irony in the statement "You are a gentleman and a scholar". Always been one of those phrases that reaches some interesting meanings.

Most turbo setups are a birds nest, I don't see how that has anything to do with much of anything...

Wait, wait, I think I see it. Yep, I found the problem.

[550]

I get it :-/ NA>Turbo.

If not for the turbo on the 2 door car I have, it would be headed to the junkyard. (Well maybe it belongs there anyways haha)

[So Live]

LOL Fuck you volvo guys! Im a rabid e30 owner and i hate everyone!!!!!!!!!
