[nickpro]

-love the steelies
and only thing i would do if flip the rear bumper, looks kinda silly. just un-skrew it and flip and screw :)

haha thanks. Some of it, waiting untill it gets alittle warmer to really do work.

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

While I'm not sure if this was the best time to get it featured (one too many dents) to me it had all it needed to get some attention. Also remember it was the editor's choice to feature the car. I'd complain to him, not Nick. As if it were for him to say "No, I'll pass for a better day":

Car looks good to me man, didn't know some minor imperfections could set so many people off.

But then again, this is r3v

Which is getting this soon

For what reason? Planning on doing a lot of track events? Seems like money that could have been spent on springs or something you know... useful?

Thanks. This is also a 22 year old car with about 280K on it. It's not gonna be perfect.

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.

Truthfully, I really would like to start over though. Keep the wheels, sell the car, and buy another one and do it right. Perfect exterior, nice sound system, legit springs, etc. Maybe one day

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?

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

[Ryan...]

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 :)

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

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

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!

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.
