There always seems to be someone on the drift track rockin a volvo. The best was the volvo with strait pipes just loud as hell and just enough power to throw it out around the corners. I feel they are a good looking car with potential and like how you chopped the springs on them lol. Looks nice.

It has 450 000kms on the clock, as i said, i paid 500$ for it.. and its road legal to 2014 :p So its abit harsh, but thats how i like my cheap bangers Chopped springs are shit, hate to ride with them.. bouncy, and its got a strange feel to them! Its soo good to drive my Corolla after im used to this pile :p
been out sliding for 4 hours now, and the engine doesn't sound very good Sounds like its going to say goodbye very soon! Flames out from the exhaust, exhaust smells gasoline, heavy ticking from the head etc! hehe! Seems like i need a new engine, maybe if im lucky, i can find a turbo!

Me and a mechanic checked the head today! He said " Ahh, its a volvo, you can see that the valves are completely fine! Just drive until it gets vorse, then change the head" So we took it out for a ride, and after some sliding, suddely the sound got alot vorse BAM and i heard metal pieces flying everywhere underneat the car! A piston rod broke through the engine block! Damn! i have found myself a engine, costs the same as the whole car, but atleast its a turbo engine!

Got a GoPro Hero2 for christmas! Im not satisfied with sound or quality in the vid. I guess its too dark, and i need a separate mic to get any engine sound. Also, i think that the speed looks too slow, Possibly the camera angle.. and the fact that im driving 40-70kph Oh well, its a test vid of me driving whith the handbrake on!

Yeah I was thinking how much fun that would be in RWD, but since you could pull it off in FWD, that's VERY impressive!!!! I'd be so scared to do that lol.
