We are hopefully going to arganise a group of club members to head to a downshift one day and try to recruit some more members who don't seem like di*k heads.

keen for this as i still have not been to one.

Finally got my kit painted and fitted over the last week, not the flushest of fits but i guess thats what you get with EBay Kits. Also one of current interior [golf shoes are apart of the "look'

]. Needs some new seats

Mechanic, Was going to send it to Dan to do as he had the right price and I dig his work.

Now that Dan isn't around I am not sure where I want to go with it.

Yes the ERD thing is unfortunate, but you can do it yourself. Just hog the garage for a few days, and doit! Mine took the better part of 2 days. but i did take my time and did lots of interneting and reading beforehand.

just need a few choice tools :)

I am always stuck at work at the moment so I couldn't spare 2 days even if I wanted to.

I need to find a garage that has a lot of experience doing the work and has a reputation for quality work at a fair price.

After much debate, I will be putting more power into the car, It will get it's 100K service a full service and some tuning done, I will then look at what options I wish to use: IE different turbo, head gasket upgrade, Water Meth, Haltech.

good choice!!

where you taking it? and when are you coming out for a drive?

I am taking it over to All Star tuning and performance in Brendale, I had a good chat with Richard and a few club members and they have highly recommended them.

I am going for a 100k service, a full vehicle check and regular service and a retune at this point, The price that I have been quoted is excellent (we get club discount)

I don't know when I will be out for a drive as I still have it up for sale but I am not actively trying to sell it, I am considering getting a 4x4 as owning a car like ours is proving to be a hassle with all the young dickheads buying them now and doing skids / racing in them.

    • I was just driving into work and while on my drive, I went to accelerate and noticed the car would sputter/hesitate and I’d hear a few pops from the exhaust before it started going faster. Then I also noticed that when I push my clutch in, the car would die. This all started happening today. Any ideas?
    • That is a lovely Volvo, just saying. Yes I should have got an 260RS when they were cheap. I do regret now.
    • ^ lots of good points made above. The thing is, "aggressive" or "flush" fitment is relative depending on how much you have been influenced by social media. My starting point is always "look at the Nismo RWD specs". That is where you should start, then start measuring as GTSBoy as sort of mentioned, because every car will be slightly different. My 8.5"+35/9.5+38 will not be "flush" enough for you because you want more "pumped" look, which is why you measure. Tyre sizes and brand/models also make a difference. Some tyres are more chunky/square, some are more rounded. That means you could get away with more aggressive offsets without rubbing. But then it also depends on your ride height. Also depends on how much your car copped damage before being shipped from Japan. So it goes back to measuring your car yourself and determining what can work. Those Nismo specs are used bacause it's a safe spec for standard car (suspension. body) with chunky tyres. But then I put 265/35 wide tyres on R34 GT-R wheels, and currently run 285/30 tyres on 18x10 wheels.
    • Sounds pretty awesome. I recommend creating a new build thread and posting all your goodness in there.
