Stance Nation Feature

[dirtysix]

Does it really have no springs in the front of it?

[nickpro]

No, I've always had people who shit talk it before, and I got tired of it. I'm aware of criticism, and definately can take it, but.....

You guys are still way better than the Volvo forum. Thanks for all the feedback.

And I still dont know,
WHAT DO YOU MEAN "MAKE IT LOOK GOOD"

[nando]

holy crap, defensive much?

you posted pictures of a car on the internet, you didn't expect any criticism?

I think the car looks like poo, and you like it. Great, right?

[nickpro]

this is pretty much what I see - a shitty stock volvo with absolutely no effort put into it, some cheap wheels/tires and all you need is a sideways flat brim hat and you're done.

but congrats on the feature at least!

I don't know what you mean when you say "make the car look nice" Other then clean it, I'm not sure what there is. Not into body kits or anything like you guys must be. Stock? Your right. My Volvo that I bought for $500 a year ago, Put a turbo on, dropped it, got some wheels, and Made them fit is stock. Ya got me. Stance Nation featured a STOCK CAR.

What do you guys mean when you say "make it look nice" What do you want me to do, spend HOURS repairing the rust in a $500 car?

I don't mean to go off on only you, But anyone who says "Atleast make it look nice" or something of the sort.

And before you shit talk my car, Let see your first car. I pay for EVERYTHING my self. Food, gas, insurance, etc. While this might not seem like a big feat to you, remember how poor you were in HS.

Some people can't afford to put $1500 ground controls on there cars. Sweet car man, s80 steelies?

Not only that, THEY DONT MAKE THEM. One company makes coils, but theyre 1200 for a whole set. I'd rather not spend almost 3x what I bought the car for on coils. Thanks. 850 steelies.

This is my E30.


Which is getting this soon

a spring/adjuster kit is $400, not $1500 ;)

Welcome to modifying cars. Even fellow enthusiasts aren't going to understand what one "group" does to their cars.

Personally I don't see the fun in driving a heavy ass 60s/70s American car with an big, thirsty engine wearing my size too small Levis and Wal-Mart running shoes but I don't cry about old people when I see a Nova on the internet.

I'm sorry, dont people put any work into their cars to make them look nice anymore? This looks like some heep out of West Virginia :???:. But i guess what i seen on the top of the page in the link said alot....

Hahah I realized I always drive around with that look on my face. Not sure why.

[BustaRhymes325i]

u mad bro?

[Roysneon]

I can only imagine the strut towers will blow through the hood or the struts themselves will bend if there's any imperfections in them structurally. How much would it cost you to have the struts shortened and run some ebay coilover springs?

Personally I like really lowered cars. Extreme tire stretch isn't my thing, but I'm not going to cry about what someone else does to their cars like a lot of the old fucks around here.

I'm tired of hearing about how "oh great, now your caarrr isn't uussssaaaaaablee!", when it's perfectly usable for their purpose, just like a car with a built engine, stripped interior, etc. is completely unusable, except for its intended purpose.

[Huff]

So... How long is that 20+ year old car really going to hold together riding around with no front springs? I guess enjoy it while it last..

[ACMF74]

I like it.... retro and different at the same time

I think your rear bumper is upside down?

hahaha it is. SHHHH. PO did it, and it's held out by drywall screws. I'm not fucking with it.

i can dig it. I would do meatier tires though, and maybe later a custom coilover setup so you can have a suspension that actually handles. It does make me want a Volvo 240 though. But is it possible to make those cars acceptably fast relatively easily?

I wish I could do meatier tires, they wont fit inside the fenders. And like I said before, it's running 10 lbs of boost, so it's pretty effin fast. Definately throws you back in your seat.

But for real, My buddys got a worked engine on one. He's running 15 and can beat a NSX 0-100.

I'm likin' it. RWD, right?

yep :)

thanks for the feedback guys!
