Because Driftworks is full of people who like to think they know and can do everything despite reality being totally the opposite, hence why so few UK builds get posted on here anymore. It's not like this is a hashed together load of junk, the car is an immaculate full Volvo service history car with electric leather etc, and the conversion is mint, looks almost factory now done. And Volvos are awesome cars, unless you're a blinkered JDM or whatever bummer, as good as anything else n better than a lot.
It's pretty awesome, for what it is (cheap and simple). Sounds immense, bet it does like stink and puts a smile on your face! But it doesnt take away from the fact that you could have used that money and week's time to get something done on your rx-7...that's where people are coming from, I think. Anyways... its your life, not ours
probably jealousy mate. Stav builds a big loud bus in a week for no money whilst the rest of driftworks spends 6 months trying to work out which direction theyre driftworks offset spacers should be pointing
We have a 340 at work with a clio lump, its awesome Liam brought it for us so we can have a competition and the winner keeps the car haha
Kev-340s are ace, good comp! It's literally taken no time and money from the FC to be honest. Maybe a bit of money, but none I need yet at least, and defo no time. That's the trouble with here, everyone assumes they know things.
Megalolz at this thread.. Iv got one of these Volvo's as my daily driver.. With the 2.3t manual.. It's caused me nothing but hag and I constantly wonder if it's going to complete its next journey... BUT I kinda still like it and I'm reluctant to get rid of it... The engine is good, it's just the electrical gremlins that are causing ballache.. I'd have liked to seen you put a mental turbo on the original Volvo lump, but this is still cool.. You get a thumbs up from me FùcktheHaterz
You say it is fine for MOT but I am not sure about emissions tough, and cops will still pull you over because of the sound. Brakes look pretty shitty as well. Keep that piece of shit off the roads!
Emissions aren't an issue. Never been pulled yet. Brakes are good and there was no hard braking on any video so you're talking out you bumhole again. In fact the current engine is barely any heavier than what was removed, lol. This car is far better built and better condition than 90% of the cars on here. This thread is awesome for summing this places average mentality up lately lol.
i like it, if people didnt do different thing the place would be boring! wish i had the skill to do something like that! brilliant!
That's exactly why I haven't put my stagea build thread up here. Too many people will tell me it wouldnt work because the Internet or there best friends mates cousins moms Tuesday shag said it wouldn't I love this, much like all your build threads. They built to do something and not just to cater for the masses !
This fucking thread. Jesus. Cool car Stav, love seeing shit like this, and as has been said its a Shame proper builds don't get put up here any more. Full of people who can fit parts to cars as opposed to people willing to engineer things to make it work the way they want it to. Skid pics coming soon I hope? Sounds like the devil
Really? do you mind posting the story about your bmw? you being a cunt on the dutch driftforum, and here aswell. get off the internet retard.
Megalulz. I was entertained by this project. Looks cool as fuck, would be a sleeper if it weren't for being so loud And I quoted this one sheerley on the fact stav said bumhole, a term i've not heard in a longtime, a very 'soft' swearword to use hahaha
Cool as stav. best projects in the world are the ones that make no sense to do in the first place like most of my retarded builds lol.
Oh question as id like to know/do myself. is it mot fail for a car to have a exhaurst exiting through wing before front wheels?
