You are not running 205s on a 10

How the hell are you gonna tell me? Im the one that put them on i think i would know. Like what's your deal man, yea i might not have cut as many coils as you did in ur rusted 242, because i will be running coilovers. Rome wasn't built in a day as they say. An this is my first time stancing a car unlike many of you. everything i do gets done by myself, if you dont like my car then so be it but one day it will be where i want it to be, when i have the time and the money to do it right!

Look, I appreciate the fact that you're going out on a limb and doing new stuff, but I'm really not feeling this at all.

What entails a "build"? So far, all you've done is lower the car a little bit, paint some bits yellow, and change the wheels. I mean, it wasn't bad to start- but the yellow painted pieces and parts just look... rice. If you ARE in fact running a 205 on a 10" rim, then that is the widest 205 with the tallest profile I have ever seen.

I'm not trying to **** on you or tell you that I can't appreciate what you're doing, but you have to get a vision, plan it out, and do it. Painting random parts, going with a super-mild drop, and doing meh wheels aren't going to gain you respect- it's all stuff than can be done on a weekend. If you REALLY want to make it pop, take a day and wipe all the grease, oil, and dirt off of your firewall, valve cover, and everything else under the hood- it looks horrible in the pics you've posted.

And please, for the love of all our retinas, either invest in a $150 point-and-shoot camera, or borrow a camera from a friend. The 1.7-megapixel photos just make everyone write off your work because it looks like crap.

ANYWAY, I hope you take this the right way. I hope you slam it on it's nuts, and clean it up- I love dumped wagons.

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.

My first car was a show car I built myself and bought myself when I was 15 using raspberry picking funds. I was in high school with no help from my parents other than shelter and did essentially a pan-off restoration of a VW Beetle. I agree with slampiece and think you need to change your outlook a bit. We don't all get things handed to us or pay for others to do our work.

Im getting really sick of people with this kind of attitude when a few people dont like their build and they get all upset about it, most people ***** my m3 when i had it and it didnt every stop me from enjoying it....i think what would really help this thread is some half decent pics from better angles, hell most of the pics i ever take of my cars are with my iphone since im too lazy to take my real camera with me

I'm going to have to agree with Jeremy and Slampiece on their comments. I feel like you're building this thread just to get attention and since no ones giving it to you, you're wanting to act out. I like the car, always have...but you can't make everyone like your car. Besides maintenence and some spray paint, it's just a Volvo on cut springs. Just by putting up a thread and some pictures doesn't mean EVERYONE will be like zomgvolvosoawesome. You have to remember...most people dislike Volvos strongly...we don't have many people who would favor our cars over other people's. Build your car for yourself, not other people on here.

As far as your wheels go, your tires are way too big. Sure, you might have 205's...but how tall are they? 60's? I would much rather have a good balance than too much poke or too much stretch. I would really evaluate where you want to go with this car. Either do things right the first time or don't do it at all. I'd love to see you really push the limits of this car.

Volvo has a scene? You can be part of a Volvo "scene"?



I don't like this thread or where its headed. Not gonna do anything about it right now. Just saying.

Im sorry if you cant see the tire stretch from the picture, or the fact the fenders are rolled and pulled pretty far out..How am i lying to make myself cooler? People like me? is why you left the volvo scene, i don't understand that in anyway. You said i wasn't running 205's and i am so of coarse im going to get offended...Because i got called a liar!
By saying that all iv done is maintanence and cut springs and spray paint is incorrect. Im not here to argue or start shit with anyone. I was just posting an update about my car and how its coming along. I know the whole yellow rim idea was atrocious but my car isn't at that stage anymore, and im tired of everything i do to the car everyone just goes back to making harsh comments about it. If you guys noticed in the latest picture all the yellow is gone! aside from the motor, which building and doing a motor swap i dont consider maintanence. I appreciate the constructive critism and will go out an pick up a decent camera so there are no furture dispute about not seeing something. So thanks and have a good one!

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 .

Umm... what the hell is going on here...

Umm... what the hell is going on here...

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.

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.
