  • another volvo wag...

    Hello, I'm dave from ohio. got this car 7 years ago for my wife's daily (my fun car now). Had lots of vw's and volvo's before this one, but this is the first car I've really put any time into.

    stock heighth


    trying to fix bumper after wife hit concrete post


    cleaned up head after head gasket leaked in new york on a road trip


    and recently....out with the old


    in with the new



    really need to get a camera other than a cell phone...





    Still need to do new calipers/rotors...and find the sweet spot pinion angle to alleviate some driveshaft vibration ... Oh and wheels. Most likely Volvo s60 widened steelies-common but I like em. There's not a whole lot of more low room underneath the car, but I could go another inch or so. Shorter strut tubes and inserts are on the eventuallies list...

    Are you bottoming out in the front? You seem to be lower then me and mine bangs harder than a whore on a corner.

      My cross member is about 1.5" off the ground...no tire rub or anything. there is a weird disturbing sound when I turn very sharp though. I think my outer tie rod extends and hits the rotor...gotta figure that out. Alls good though besides that. I'd be lucky to have 2" of shock travel, but I don't think I have bottomed out yet. Scraped- YES

        Where in Ohio are you at? I'm down in Cincy, this thing looks killer and I'd love to shoot it someday if I ever get to see it in person.

                  The TBricks slammed cars thread brought me here. Most excellent wagon sir.
