The Quest to Stance a Volvo

[xmax92xd]

Getting prepared to sell my wheels to move on to the next set, just have to figure out what that next set will be...

I would snatch those wheels up in a second if I could! It's to bad you are getting rid of them, they look awesome on your vo. Any ideas of what you might get next?

Getting prepared to sell my wheels to move on to the next set, just have to figure out what that next set will be... until then. I got a roller taken before I take the RK-2's off.

bought e-code lenses for $45 from FCP when they're normally $120 for a set. Installed those today, and I had been thinking about actually painting a set of corners amber after I tried the cheap vinyl. I went and bought Tamiya Translucent Orange and did the side markers (since I had extras) and the corner lights (I had one spare, so I just need one more to go back to stock).

Snapped a few cell phone pics for anyone's pleasure or displeasure.









I know the pictures are garbage, my Camera battery was dead (i left it on last time I put it away) and it was charging. I'll snap some better pics this week.

Minor Bump, Now living in Cincinnati, just got a job at Firestone as a Service Writer. Sure is going to be nice to have a very reasonable employee pricing on shop labor. Might have them fix a few things that I don't have time or patience for.

Nothing has really changed with the car, been on the lookout for new wheels and trying to get rid of the RK-II. I love them, but I want to try some 18" and unless I find a super cheap deal on some decent looking 18" wheels, I'll have to sell the RK's to fund the 18's. I also kinda want to try a 235/40 on a 17x8 for a bit more of a track stance feel. I dunno, lots of ideas rolling around and no money until I start working tomorrow.

Until then, here's a pic I took tonight while attempting some light painting with a friend.

Fricking awesome!! I think ill paint my fender when i need to

It's really not that hard, give it a go!

Damn dude, im lovin the R bumper. Good work!

Thanks man! I think it adds a touch of agressiveness and class to the car. Much cleaner.

those wheels

I'll sell em to you! haha

looking really good with the r bumper and new wheels! very nice

Thanks! I feel like those two things totally transformed my car's style.

I wish my s70 looked like yours

Yours looks pretty dang clean from what I can see, just gotta get some fancy wheels!

Saw the car at sowo this weekend, didnt get a chance to catch up with you as it was a crazy busy weekend but it looked amazing in person!!

I feel like that was all of SoWo, I saw a lot of cars I knew, didn't meet people though. It was infact a crazy busy weekend and with so many cars to look at, I didn't give a fuck to stand around mine. haha

Update.

Moved to Cincinnati, OH last week, car now spends its days and nights outside which is a bummer. Already scraped the R bumper once, will likely happen again, gotta pay to play I guess.

I need to fix my AC, I have no condenser and will likely need a new compressor because my last one was whining like a bitch so I bypassed it with a shorter belt. Any recommendations where to go to get all the AC components to do a full re-fresh?

Here's a few pics from my trip to SoWo, there are more, but these are the two I liked the most.

Leaving the Helendorf in Helen, GA monday morning around 6 am.

Wheels could be for sale for the right price if anyone is interested, already getting bored of them, I want something either an inch bigger, or an inch smaller, but definitely wider.
