...or any old-skool rallycar.

But im not doing bad at making my own special version





Currently in "Forest" spec, but 2inch lowering blocks etc should be on tomorrow so down to "Tarmac" spec

Diff was welded today, so a coat of satin black all over, strip it out and fit the buckets, remove the homo towbar, happy days.

Already 2litre injection so not too shy for a RWD car that weighs under 1000kg once stripped, but there an easy 250bhp available for another 500quid or so if i can be arsed.

them wheels are
what wheels are they?
its Abarth aswell not Arbath

Stavros

MINUS 32 offset 10x13s.

With 195/55s stretched onto them.

Thank the lord baby jebus for bead blasters

PS- good call on the spelling

PastyKing

im a fiat nutter thats why!!!
i think that car looks pretty sweet.
bead blasters are good fun for fitting tyres with

Stavros

I got fucking tons of cars mate

S13 is WAY beyond tramp these days, its mental.

This is too cool for that too (well, once its finished anyhow ), drift yea, tramp, nah.

My LAST drift 360 i gave to a mate 2weeks ago was a proper tramper tho.

PastyKing

Stavros where do you go to do all your drifting?

Stavros

im my dreams as the cars are always broke

seriously tho, roads 99% of time in the last 360, just used to go out every night at 11pm or later and diff it up.

but you can drift anywhere, there practice events pretty much every week around the UK and 3 different championships in 2007.

infact there was a drift practice day in somerset today.

thats it now, i gotta get ready to go out, sat night...

Retro Al

iTrader: (1)

195! they will be coming of the rim lol

Stavros

dave- 500notes for a basic old shell aint my idea of cheap regardless

al- nah its fine, that ones about as right as the old "welded diffs will kill you" stories

dave cos4x4

iTrader: (5)

that is cheap Steve for that,wait till you see what it will sell for.

Stavros

cheap for a Mk2 shell, but not cheap for what you get if you forget it being a "classic"

i dont do all this "history" and "classic" stuff, ive got no interest in impressing car people.

i just go for bang for your buck. (well, fun for your cash)

as you can see by the stupid volvo

but it will be worth fook all when done,you will kill it then throw it away.

Stavros

ive never killed or thrown any car away, so doubtful.

and tidy 340s with diff, wheels, low, stripped, seats, harnesses, have been selling for 600-700 notes lately, which is less than ive spent on this which will be loads madder, so...

and even if i did bin it, its better VFM than spending 15k modding cossies to get about 2k more back than when it was std, and im used to that shit too

big_wig_074

but its not a bloody ISA or anything,its a car for FUN! and i guarantee its sellable right now for a whole lot more than was paid for it! is gonna be proper cool.

Kev.H

that looks cool

drift on!

89xr2

If it's for sale and it's still in decent nick i'll buy it

Stavros

if you mean once its finished, you'l need to give me a 4figure sum

GARETH T

Ł48.58p?

jr

love it, what arches are those

Stavros

Special Stav Motorsport Volvo GrpB Works arches.

Micky The Finn

i thought these volvos broke prop shafts if you tried to spin the wheels to much?

Stavros

Thats 340s, the smaller engine ones, have an alloy prop.

Not as bad as people think, rarely happens.

And either just fit an unbreakable 360 one, spend 150quid on an uprated one, or just own a 360.

Micky The Finn

i see.

89xr2

I'll keep that in mind for when you get it finished. I'm seriously interested though as I was tempted to buy that very car when it was for sale.

Jay,

iTrader: (4)

i remember the days when you could buy a 2 door 13 gl mk2 Ł150 motd and taxed

paid 700 for my first 16sport in 88

Stavros

was nowhere near as nice as made out in the for sale ad, loads of surface rust in various places (all minor tho if you changing the colour), big hole in one wing, underneath is mostly solid it needs welding on one chassis rail, and the gearbox is pissing oil from somewhere, something i believe was happening before it was sold and cleaned up for sale.

PastyKing

Stavros where do you find volvos like that? theres none the same on ebay that i can see.
you got any videos of you drifting?
what does welding the rear diff do exactly?

Stavros

where? where ever, just got to be lucky. they getting more expensive now though as people are realising they got massive potential.
was 200quid cars, now even standard ones sometimes go for 500quid+, and can see the prices getting silly soon.

hardly ever see 300 series volvos that are 4dr saloons, most are 3 or 5 door.
hardly ever see 3dr 360s either, most 3drs are 340s, almost all 360s are gay 5drs like my last one.

even rarer to find a fuel injection one like i got.

welding the diff means both wheels always turn at same speed, makes it a lot more controllable when drifting, and more grippy in general.

no vids of me, im not good enough to want to be filmed, frankly
