  • The new kid from the Washington state suburbs.

    Hey guys (and girls?)
    My name is Chase.
    I just turned 17 a couple months ago.

    Not much story to my short life. Been in Washington my whole life. Now moving to Idaho to the bottom of Schweitzer mountain, which some of you may have heard of. Haha. I'm an avid snowboarder and a quite experienced graffiti artist. I became an alcoholic at a young age for no good reason and have been smoking weed since i was 12. Just broke my 6 months on being sober. I have amazing parents. And they have always been supportive of me. Even tho i was a horrible child to my parents that have been together for 22 years now. Things have been getting better since sobriety. My brother just got sent to Africa in the US army as an airborne combat engineer. My little brother lives at home 24/7 because in the last 3 years he's broke both hips and one of them he broke twice. He's been in and out of wheel chairs since he was 10.

    That's about it for me.

    I have faith in my car and I'm planning on a V8 swap for my four banger. A Chevy 350 from a 95 Camaro with a T56 tranny with dual exhaust. Should be coming up in the next 3 months.

    I am a huge audio freak and have owned plenty of subs in my day, actually made a living, buying, building a box, and selling subs for the past two years.

    For right now, i'm just getting some new rims, some sways, and some lowering springs.

    Thinking about stretching some tires myself.

    Having a small budget for tires as of my new lowering springs and sways.

    Maybe someone could help me with finding my own tires.

    I have some rims off a 95' Jeep grand Cherokee.
    I'm cleaning them up and painting them right now.
    They're 15x7's.
    I know they're small, but they are my first rim upgrades and i will be putting some large adapters behind them, maybe 1.75" or 2".

    Here's the rims i got:


    Well, here is some of my art, a pic of my car, and some Volvo's that inspire me.

    Thanks guys!

    And sorry, lots of pics..

                I dig old Volvos.

                Good call on the V8...although I'd suggest a newer LSX motor. Much more power and potential than the LT1 I'm assuming you're thinking about using. There was a guy that lived near me who did a Ford 5.0/AOD swap in his Volvo. Really neat car.

                Welcome.

                  I drive a 01 S40 It's not where I want it to be in regards of stance but it's very close. I suggest you take a look at turbobricks.com a nice forum for Volvo 240's

                      Thanks man, and yes, i have.
                      I wanted to do either a LS1/LS2 or a 2JZ GTE eventually but as a 17 year old in the middle of a move (no more job) i'm on quite a budget

                      But eventually it'll get it to where i want it...
                      Haha.
                      Anything is better (the 350 will be 300 hp) than my stock 91 hp!

                        Yeah, man, been a member for almost a year
                        Learned alot of shit, and seen alot of swaps. Haha

                        This guy is one of my favorites:


                        275 hp
                        Same model, but 6 years older than mine. Mustang 5.0 331 small block stroker and T5 trans, on coilovers, and stock (painted black) Mustang rims. And the reason his door is black is because someone put a fatty dent in his door and didn't leave a note. Haha

                        Enough said. haha.

                          Thanks man. I hope so. Any one have any suggestions for tire size/make to stretch on those 15x7's?
