Nikdev`s 360: another Norwegian saga - Drifting forum

NikDev · 18-05-2008, 12:34

Been on here for a while now, and its about time to post up a tread about the transformation of my car..
It has gone from a daily driver to competing in the club class season in 08.
Next season where I am getting it up to Pro level.

Bought it completely standard, a Gl with 69` km`s on the clock.. With a 100hp b200k

First some wheels, 13x8 et4

With some balloon tires

Lowering in process:

With 2" blocks at the rear and approx 50-60mm lowered at the front:

After a while things got more out of hand

And I added some buckets:

Weighted in at sub 1000kg`s

With the soft suspension and an open diff it could do this:

Hello NikDev

Stunning 360 !!

Frits · 18-05-2008, 15:37

Nice car Nikdev! Good choice of engine also.

Steef · 18-05-2008, 16:04

It's about time you made a project thread here, Nik.

This car is Norways baddest 340!

Did this random photoshop of it a while ago:

NikDev · 18-05-2008, 16:16

This year I am attending the Club class in the Norwegian Powerdrift series, so on my list of priorities was suspension, diff, more power etc..

For the suspension I got front poly brushes:

Whiteline 25mm Swaybar:

Some parts from Dai, adjustable rear dampers, 80mm lowering springs and links to my new swaybar:

And new front dampers(lip tech) the one on the right:

The diff:

For powers i got this 4-2-1:

And we made a 2,5":

producing a hefty 98 decibel..Thancks to "Bru Trix and Fix"

More seat time:

Suspension sorted and more lowered it looked like this:

05\04-08 Rudskogen:

The clutch died on me that day and I found out that i needed some more grunt

So I bought a modifed engine, a b23 with a ported 405 head and a "H" cam
Here its painted and almost ready:

New clutch in place:

Maximus Driftus · 18-05-2008, 23:48

man... that i simply awesome... you just keep giving me ideas...

NikDev · 19-05-2008, 00:00

Thats good, you got a real nice Volvo yourself!

A Electric fan found its way in the front:

A weary light bonnet is also added:

Balloon tires are switched out with some stretched Toyo`s:

Getting together again:

Loving the H-cam - I have one too, what kind of power are you hoping to make?

The engine:

Graham · 20-05-2008, 18:29

retro cool

i like it

NikDev · 01-06-2008, 12:19

I have worked a lot on the car lately so no time for updates, but here is a pic form yesterday:

Finished 16th in the club class in Powerdrift round 2 at Gardermoen
Happy with that as i feel both me and the car has a lot of more potential, got almost no training before qual, and it was the first time doing it in 3rd! So with more practise, adjusting of Weber's etc I hope i will perform better at Rudskogen round 3

NikDev · 15-06-2008, 21:16

Did some of this today(please ignore the rust :roll: )

Need place in arch for these:

13x8 ET-10

Rust removed and painted with primer:

A fire killer is in place behind passenger seat:

Had some cooling issues at Gardermoen, hope this and a new rad will fix it:

Skid skid...

Steef · 15-06-2008, 21:39

Frickin' savage wheels, Nik!

Are you coming to K-Town for Round 3 next weekend?

Thanks man, missed out on K-Town. Maybe I`ll head down there for gatebil and Powerdrift at Lista..

Made some holes in my hood here the other day

To prevent it looking like this when i drive:

Pic from Gatebil Rudskogen

This weekend I competed in the fourth round of Powerdrift
Drivers meet:

The old Volvo performed well on dry, but i need some more track time to qualify for the final

NikDev · 30-08-2008, 16:04

I am not sure if those wellers are just ugly? Or ugly but nice...

A new fan is in place:

Some gauges:

Stripped the inner roof out, how do i get the glued sounddeadening off? Tested a heat gun, but there got to be a faster way?

Btw I saved a jaw dropping 2kg`s on it

More seatime

Uk conditions?

It can actually produce smoke

Frits · 30-08-2008, 16:33

Very nice pictures Nikdev. Like your car

I'm probably gonna use a redblock too afterall..

rizk · 30-08-2008, 18:18

How much did you pay to get those Wellers into the country?
