Another Damn volvo!!!!

Where's the Jurbo emblem???!!!!

Constructive criticism:
Put the grille back to normal or just take everything off
Hit your plastic trim pieces and bumpers with a heat gun (if they haven't already been painted)
Get rid of the yellow... All of it. Especially the emblems
Bosch square fogs instead of those blue things

The fenders, I don't have enough experience to advise you on. If you want them to be flared instead of flat-lipped as they were stock, they're going to take a lot of work to look right.

Right now it looks like you have A LOT of space to go lower without rubbing. Start cutting coils half at a time (although a few full coils would definitely not hurt) while you're gathering up parts to go short struts and sleeve coils, unless you plan on spending $500+$350 for inserts (just the fronts) to have Kaplhenke do it for you.

If you plan on flaring the fenders like that you'll probably be looking at spacers when you get your suspension and tire situation sorted out.

The reason everyone ( especially me) loved Slampiece's cars were their pure simplicity, and most of all, his modest attitude about his cars... That and his gorgeous photography.

I've tried my best to give unbiased advice on how to improve your build and generally have more fun with it, but if you and your friend are going to be bashing one of the guys I admire most for building low and low-budget Volvos, then I'll just have to sit back and watch this thread go to hell.

I never bashed on slampiece or anyone for that matter, so i don't see where your coming up with that. And yea the tires are huge...i thought i stated in a previous post but i guess not....im running huge tire for winter...will have some decent pics IMHO up shortly. So hope you guys like them...lol like i said constructive critisism is greatly appreciated!

All you did was cut the springs and throw widened steelies on it.

I may be going out on a limb here, but am I correct in assuming that your buddies wagon we are talking about here is on cut springs and steelies??

What happens when you bring Turbobricks to Stanceworks.

1. No magazine-quality photos
2. Meh fitment
3. Unpopular car to begin with
4. Proud owner

That combination works on TB to some extent, but not on SW. Chigga had one of the few North American 7-series that would do well here.

Had to quote that again. Unbelievably accurate.

In a perfect world the saying goes "if you don't have anything nice to say don't say it at all". Is this a perfect world? Absolutely not. If you post something on the internet you better believe people will give you their truthful opinion. That opinion may be positive or negative. Whether you like those opinions or not, keep it to yourself. No one likes a whiny bitch. Try and turn the "negative" comments into constructive criticism for yourself to improve the overall project.

It's basically why I don't really post at all on tB anymore, it just becomes a hassle.

Built? Dude, I saw that car in person. It was a piece of shit. All you did was cut the springs and throw widened steelies on it. Also you're 242 was a bigger piece of shit then the 244 was. Don't talk shit unless you can back it up. He is running 205's considering I helped him balance and mount them. 205/55/16's all around. Have you seen the car in person? No , only a shitty cell phone pic. Personally I don't see how your car got so much praise. It was a rotted 244 and rotted 242 that you cut an unsafe amount of springs out of. You got write ups about your car when the only fucking tool you used was an angle grinder. You're not all that buddy. Also if you didn't realize this, a 7 series and a 2 series are two completely different cars and his fenders are rolled the FUCK out. So he wouldn't get mexi poke. People like you are the reason I'm glad you left .

Damn, Chica. Butt hurt much?

First off, this isn't your battle to fight. No one is attacking your car but you're not doing anything but making your friend look worse here. As most of us were saying...it needs work. Cut and dry, it's just not "doing it" right now. The problem is that he's coming in here expecting people to love his car, and if you're a Volvo guy...you should know that THAT doesn't always happen. There's nothing super crazy about his car, nothing that really stands out...so until he does something wild he's probably not going to get much of a razz out of the S|W community. Well, unless this thread about "my dick is bigger than your dick" and "omfg I can't believe no one likes my steelies" continues.

Again...don't build your car for other people. Build it for yourself. People will either love it or **** it. At the end of the day, do you enjoy driving it?

PS: As the person responsible for mounting that monstrosity of a tire size...you're being held at least 50% accountable for his fitment.

hahahahahahah are you serious right now man? Because I had 215s on my 10, and that was fucking insane stretch. My good friend Jake, (FItteddownlow) Is running 205's on a 10 and you can fit your finger between the lip and the tire. You posted a picture and it's obvious there's almost NO stretch out back. I also know for a fact that 10 et 0 is gonna have about an inch of poke out back, which I dont see. My 10 was et 8 and the lip was sticking out. My beige car? The one before the 242 was my first time stancing too, not a vaild excuse. I also built that car working 10 hours a week in HS. Dont use your money as an excuse either.

If your gonna try and lie to make yourself seem cooler, this isnt the place to do it. Go back to turbobricks. People like you are why I left the volvo scene. EVERY single person tries WAY too hard and then when people dont like it, they get all offended.
