That stanced Volvo! -The budget stance build-

[Stanced_Volvo]

Unfortunately the Volvo was detected thanks for the NSW highway patrol force! Tried to get it registered but the costs weren't worth it for what needed to be fixed, a new daily has been purchased, I won't be going as crazy with this one as its kind of a rad car, something different.

The drop in the rear isn't even at it's lowest
Currently the 205/50 is holding up in the top of the wheel well
Also the fuel tank was on the ground so that's gotta be relocated, I figure I'll setup the rear for a bag setup!

After I finish this project I'll be purchasing a wagon to build to drift spec so be keen people!

You can leave anything you look, racecar spec is real!

nothing like a good old btcc 850 (tho i was more fan of the wagons)

Low in the rear is real. Can't wait to see this dropped to hell. I had 2 volvo 850 and 1 s70 they are awesome.

can i leave this here?

Bought this wing from a mate that just so happens to fit perfectly as a front lip and I think it looks aggressive as!

big recommendations here man:



1. learn how to use your camera. Learn what the different modes do and how they effect the final outcome.



2. learn composition. all the megapixels in the world can't make a good image if you don't line it up and frame it well in the first place



3. a lot of what you're gonna shoot is gonna look like shit, this is totally normal as you're learning and don't get discouraged



4. shoot in RAW format, it gives you much more options for editing versus shooting straight to JPEG. 100% guarantee you every single picture you see that looks "professional" or really good is edited, even if you can't tell. subtlety in editing is hugely important.



5. Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop come together in a $10/mo subscription and are literally invaluable. Both are ridiculously powerful tools.

Cheers for this man! I always shoot in RAW and have photoshop cs6!

As for the rest it's trial and error, I still don't know how exactly too control everything! But I'm shooting with a 10-20mm lens which is quite wide which I love!

So we sacked the rear end, the fronts are yet too come, we now have to modify the wells so we've cut the rear wheel wells out and will pretty much make air bags a massive possibility!

The world of fuel tank scrappage is real!
More to come!

Currently I'm chasing the coilovers, I'll have pics of the wheels split that I've done in the next couple of days, but mostly need a tonne of low
Considering chopping springs as I don't go crazy as much as I used too

Welcome! Its good to see some more p80s on here. Mine is also na and auto lol. As far as coilovers ta technix are the cheapest and can get you low from what ive heard but they dont ride to good. After that theres d2 and cx racing. Im sure you can go custom with bc but it wont be cheap. Other than that you can build your own coilovers using koni sport struts.

As for your wheel measurements if you plan on going low your going to need alot of fender work and tire stretch if you want to pull it off. If your good at fabricating parts you shoukd be able to work something out camber wise. Best of luck.

Cheers mate!
Basically once the wheels are fitted and we have our measurements I'll start ordering the goods, the plan is too use expanding foam to mock everything up and then for the first time in my life use fibreglass :')

These cars people don't look twice at, I'm in love with it as a daily, it'll hopefully shock the Aus car scene when it's finished and at its first meet!

Your wheel measurements don't really add up. Taking some off the barrel and adding to the lip doesn't equate to the offsets you've come up with in those widths(even with a few different combos). How much are you planning to take off the barrel and add to the lip to achieve your desired widths? 10's and 11's will take some work, but anything is doable, as said above....fender work, stretch and camber will help, but make sure you work it all out prior to, otherwise you will blow out that $3k easily if you need to redo the wheels.

As for BC's, don't they do them off the shelf? If so, JustJap will have them to your door in less than a week, even if they've got to come from O/S. Mine for my E24 arrived in 4 days from wherever they're made(Taiwan I think).

I understand what you mean with the wheels, basically a mate of mine seems to be this miracle wheel guy, he knows his shit, anyways that's what he said I can achieve and run, the measurements were just a guesstimate until I get the hubs re drilled
The offset will most likely be achieved with spacers if possible, however I'll leave that figuring out too my mate haha!

Yeah everything will be measured a hundred times as soon as I can bolt them on for exactly what I need!

As for coilovers I didn't think BC made them for it! But I'll give justjap a ring! If not I'm trying to find an Aussie supplier for koni struts and will diy coilovers
