The Quest to Stance a Volvo

[Okoye]

Lol, wut?

Lower it breh!!

Are you going to be at SYL? I'm going to go out on a limb and say yes?

Uhh... Duh. I'll be there with the Zero Clearance doodz and all the other jabronis. I took my lip off because the sides that were bolts together self destructed and it looked stupid then. But the car will be there other than that! Come say hey!

[JVC]

Figured I would assemble a quick update as spring is coming and I just filed my taxes, so a little bit of return money will help me accomplish what I need before SoWo, while the rest will be saved to help fund my move back to Cincinnati.

picked up an R bumper (from a V70R, slightly more aggressive) Still needs to be painted but I have a friend who is going to help me shoot it at home with his paint gun. Got it for $150 with grilles and fogs, one of the Fogs is cracked though so i'll be on the lookout for some fresh ones.



Just today went to the junkyard and found an IPD Strut brace, also found a poly upper engine mount that will go in, little cheap upgrades are always nice.



I've been selling anything I can find sitting around so I can get the BBS RK's refinished, my plan is to have them re-done in a white or pearl white center and a polished lip.

List before SoWo
Timing Belt/Water pump/idler pulley etc
Paint R bumper
Get RK's refinished
Buy wider spacers for the back for the RK's
Hopefully don't fuck anything up on the way to SoWo.

And here are a few pics from a little meet up with some friends yesterday to hit up some other junkyards.

Thanks Man! I've always loved your S40, I wish I could be as low as you are, I need to ditch these coilovers if I want to go any lower.

Yes. Lower. Yes.

[corivus]

looks great JVC, I really want to be running close to your setup sooner then later The R front grill will make it look even better and a +1 to JY performance upgrade finds

[ollycarbs]

can't wait to see the R bumper fitted!
still one of my favorite S70 around!

gave up on my V70 btw, it will stay a high DD, bought a Saab 900 to play.

[PoLonY]

Yes. Lower. Yes.

[corivus]

[PoLonY]

ah I see...they should go pretty low...with some mods like bumpstops gone etc

that's only way I got my TA's so low

Aww come on, you can still lower the V70 a bit! I've always been surprised how many people like my car so much!

yes. bags. yes

Yup, D2's. They have two adjustments and I only have about 1/4" more before I would have to remove one of the collars to go a bit lower, I could also swap my 8" spring for a 7" spring and get it lower that way too.

Installed the Strut bar yesterday, made it a bit stiffer, possibly placebo effect, but it's a nice engine bay piece and stiffens up everything a little bit too.

[ollycarbs]

ahah, you're right! i'll lower it again in some time, way nicer than at this height!

keep up the good work!
