Derrick the Volvo! Update P47

[jon-ovlov]

Ah couldn't remember if they were 1 or 2 inches. I'd go 3 personally, chatting to peeps, the 300s supposedly handle a little better like that. I know mine does, helps with the stiffer springs too.

im thinking 3inches but then what about speed bumps and shit? also i want to get some landy shocks for the rear but not sure what to do when stiffening the front, surely the higher poundage springs are not enough. ive heard some people put thicker oil in the front but not to sure on how to do it.
get few more pics of your car up lowerd and ill see what i think and then ill decide how low ill go

Just incase you didn't see it

heheh, my bad. I'll hopefully get pics tomorrow. Speed bumps ive always avoided anyway, however, it does scrape a lil, on larger bumps. Landy shocks would be good, I'm "saving" (good luck with that Jon! ) for some of Dai's shocks. I dont know about the oil, have never done it. The higher poundage springs have made a big difference to the cornering ability and wollowyness. Need new front shocks, collapsingness doesnt help front bounce!

My 360's younger twin is looking awesome mate!

It's certainly got some stance now. Roll on the F7P swap. You'll not stop smiling for a while!

Ha ha! cheers! I'll tell you now however, its an F7R. I dont do things by halves! HA!

The new heart. Timing cover off to be sprayed, loom off to Adam on friday. Rocker cover i'll take off once I've decided on colour (any ideas?) I was thinking candy purple. Ive put the clutch on, fits very nicely. Just need to wait for the rest of the bits!

Sorry dude, pics didnt happen. meet ended up not really happening. Ended up trying to sort a missfire out on an s13! It'll be the weekend now.

Now that sounds EPIC! That's a plan.

Not much of an update, just lots of pictures!

Swapped the weller mattigs over for the standard wheels on't back, some apocalyptic wheel wobble at 55mph+. Got the 13x9s up front now, standards at the back sitting level until the springs settle. Its amazing how much difference low profile, stretched wide tyres do to the turn in and handling. With the standard wheels = bendy and heavy and laggy, the 13x9s, instant turnage! Anyway, pictures! (btw, i haven't got chav blue headlights, the photshop processing has done that! )















Was up until 3 last night just taking pictures. haven't done that in ages!
