(I am going to be annoying and post a lot of pictures, some are old and not current setup. The first is how it sits now)

My names Rob,
I drive a 1998 Volvo C70, the color is saffron yellow 1 of 138 ever made.
I am new to the forums, so give me slack. I have a horrible iphone at the moment for pictures I will try to post good photos. Ive owned the car for the past 7 years. I am currently trying to finish the car by may 17 for Carlisle.

I will be throwing old photos to current. It originally came with volvo's bbs trtion wheels..I was an idiot and was laid off hurting for money so I traded them for s60r Pegasus and $350

Drove with those for a few years with kaplhenke coil overs, I got rid of them (they where due for a rebuild) I sent them to a friend for his 850.

Then I bought ta technix from germany for $190 lol. which I am currently running now still for about two years. They ride the same as any coils for vw like racelands/ rokker. Rear springs are chopped lowering springs.

Wheels: cliche vette wheels 17x9.5 all around on 215/45s (I got the wheels for $200)

I have camber plates that I am putting on along with plans of going hopefully 2 inches lower.

motor: 198k miles and counting, full 3inch turbo back exhaust, custom 2.5 inch intake tube, custom fmic, ard green tune, blue injectors and a shot 15g turbo.. I have a 19t turbo and bigger front mount that I will be putting on within the month, along with a retune for the bigger turbo.

You make like it, you may not. Thanks for looking

Rob

current:








winter set up






Old:

old wheel color, I spent all the time painting them to find out in the rain that the paint was indoor use only...it was stone paint



Yes the wheels are on backwards in every picture lol that is fixed now





I broke down at 2am and had to leave my car on the highway, call my friends up to help me the next day



My old 242 (thats why my user name is raab242. I made it when I owned it. He bought this off me and then I bought his s60r off him)



both of the turds


this is why I broke down, too much vibration broken ignition coil wire


along with ipds hdcv broken because of vibration..found out on the way from h20 last year when I was boosting 28psi haha when its tuned for 18



the rear



I have a lot of photos to upload, I will post my suspension setup, motor and all that.
I hope you enjoy. These are older photos, I am uploading more recent with my wheels the right way and polished. It looks a little better now but still not what I want.

Thanks for looking,
take it easy,

Rob

Welcome, what a nice car, and that's a beautiful color. Just not really feeling the stache.

These where taken from a friend of mine. I am in need of newer photos, the wheels are polished now (they do not look good) but I do still like the cream/tan color. I go in and out of wanting to change it.
