Stance Nation Feature

[SimplyDope]

Way better than driving a regular Volvo that, prior to personalized mods, would go unnoticed.

Why does everybody skip over the fact that you put together the turbo kit yourself?

Because turbocharging one of those takes a trip to the junkyard with $100 and about three hours on a Saturday morning to get it running. Not trying to beat on him, but it's incredibly simple and basically a 100% bolt on affair.

I'm not feeling it though. Useless suspension, stretched tires. Yawn.

I'm not a fan of how it was lowered, but the car looks clean in pics. Too bad you really do have that serial killer anger face going on, but if I was from NJ, I probably would, too.

If this was on Turbobricks, I missed it.

Needs more low, like this.



and get rid of that volvo lip, lol. Cool beater.

You get the idea of having "the look" but, it definitely comes in different styles. His Volvo isn't the first to be this low and have widened steelies are whatever they are. I don't know how much you know about the whole Volvo scene but, they are a different group of people. They love zip ties and duct tape. Most Volvo guys do things as cheap as possible because if they had the money they probably wouldn't be driving 240's. Some spend tons money but, most don't. I used to drive a 240 because it was cheap, rwd, and turbo.

EXACTLY. If I had more money, I would be dailying a E30 with coils, real wheels, etc.

But, I'm broke as fuck, and trying to build a race car, so the volvo gets done alittle ghetto.

Ive always wanted one w. the round headlights to do a V8 swap in to!!
They're like impossible to find though.. Sweet ride man!

This is what confounds me. The website clearly says "Form > Function", however part of form (to me) is not having cracked up fibreglass body kits, having properly fastened body panels (cable ties do not count, no matter how neatly they are arranged), having smooth panels and good paint, having an interior that doesn't look like a bombed out building in Kabul.... ??

I get the ratty, shitbox look - my daily driver is a red hail damaged Subaru wagon with a blue bonnet - but it's functional. I can park it or drive it wherever I want so it serves a purpose. Having a car that claims to be all about the look, but is neither nice to look at or useful seems to be a waste of time and money to me.

As I said before, good on you and it's nice to hear you have plans to move forward. Please put some springs in that thing, though!

In the stance world right now, alot of people are even looking for kinda beat up cars to stance. It adds character, you don't really have to care about the body (as much), and i guess it shows that the cars not just driven on weekend.

I could strap a thousand dildos to my car and probably get a feature in dildo quartely magazine. Probably.

Do that and report back to us.

Maybe I should list my "mods" in my signature. Along with a picture of my cars.

I say congrats on getting an article on your car, no one on here gets that on their 500 dollar eta. The no spring thing worries me though, it's a bit of a safety issue. I can dig the rough, slammed look though. I like widened steelies as well but I think people are missing the point. A guy in high school, got a feature article on his car, how many people in high school exactly get those?

Hmmmmmm.. Def don't like the rims, but overall, its a pretty cool looking car. Not my style, but fuck, you got it in a magazine so props to you :)

[Vince30]

I think it looks awesome, I don't care if you did it cheap, it looks sexy.
