volvo 340 saloon. couple pics

Post by erixtar1992 » 22 Feb 2012 08:11 pm

hey, bought this a month ago as for some reason i thought itd be a good idea :lol:
anyway, not done much to it since ive had it. but heres a few pics.

when i got it
Image

tinted the rear lights and front indicators
Image
Image
Image

took the snap off steering wheel boss off as it came off twice while i was driving sm2
Image

put my spare vw scirocco wheels on
Image
Image
Image

had to do a quick fix on the absoloutely battered exhaust
Image
Image
Image

then it snowed round my way, hard. was with a load of people at an industrial estate hanging it sideways, all was going well and was getting some good slides going on, then i went to get petrol. by the time i got back the snow had started turning to ice and i didnt realise! came round the corner sideways, then as i brought it back round it just kept going! ended up planting it into a kurb and did this :lol:
Image
Image

still on the lookout for the parts1 so no drifting at the mo!

anyway after blowing 2 tyres and cracking one alloy, i had to change the wheels back.
Image
Image

so i got bored and as im not drifting it at the moment i decided to fit my starmags.
i also fitted my aftermarket rev limiter and set it at about 5k for now.
Image
Image
Image

they sat lovely on there, but as it was so low on the back i couldnt drive it! the bottom bolt for the shocks were dragging along the ground! gay leaf springs!
Image

so now its raised up 2 inches on the rear with the starmags. looks alright, but im still missing my vw's haha. not sure how long ill be keeping it for.
will update with future progress if there is any :)

just installed some speakers in the rear today aswell as a sub. putting some beefier bolts in where the lowering blocks are tomorrow.

miss the vdub because it was easy o drive, had stance and was silly fast!
