Well after almost 3 years, I can finally say im the new owner of an 88' Silhouette.

Bought it for $6k

Mods: well just an exhaust, Rb25 with Rb30 bottom end, external wastegate and BOV with a T78 turbo and microtech, Has run 310rwhp on 9psi.

Guy will be tunning it to bout 200-250rwhp till i can get use to it and will bump it up gradually to bout 20psi with a cooler. Should make 400+rwhp but this wont be for a while.

Took it for a drive and its not that bad to handle, did give it some and wasnt too bad. exhaust will be getting fixed cause of a slight rattle and a newer clutch will be fitted aswell.

Should be out cruising in a few weeks once i get some more cash for roadie and rego. Pics attached below.

oh and thanks to mike and jaime for karting me back and forth over the weekend to see the car.

    • 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.
