Been into drifting and Volvos for a while now, but only just combined the two for the first time... Got myself a ready turbo converted 360, and I'll be taking it to Crail tomorrow! Its a shared car, and bound to be better (although less competent) than the shed of an overheating E36 328i we had last. And I'm too hooked on skidding to not have something to use whilst my epic Capri project is still in the making. So far we have swapped the wheels to 14" BBS (also got 15" e30 BBS which will replace them next when the tyres they came with are smoked off). Then fitted a huge cooling fan and new thermostat. Spec wise it's got a tiny turbo running 10psi, hydraulic handbrake, welded diff, huge intercooler, a terrible exhaust, 2" blocks, chopped front springs and a mostly stock OAP spec interior. Here's a motley selection of phone snaps, will get some proper ones soon:  Time to cram in a huge fan....  With co-owner Stuart's V40 and my 960.  With my Chrysler Horizon on the wheels it came with. (set of 6 Minilights for sale!)   Engine pic from the previous owner...  Oh yeah, and the sodding clutch is slipping right before its first drift day :roll: |

I had a 2.0 GLE a couple of years back, I couldn't believe how well it skidded, they are just so eager to got sideways. I'd imagine with the turbo engine they a friggin epic. Great purchase!

Sierra - here we go again! He has an illness, it's not his fault.

Stunning, amazing, etc. I am so jealous. I never managed to get my Piazza skidding and I love my Volvos.
Perhaps I should free up some space at my dump and look at taking the 300-series route before they all get priced into oblivion by the drifters.

Nice dude, you have a topic over on V3M too  My 360 has been skidding well for the past year or so, they're awesome little things. Going 2.3 turbo this spring/summer. Engine is all ready to go in, even the loom is pre-prepared. Just need KFW to bring it down to Bristol  Can't wait! |

If I make it to the Beach Party in my 460 I may well be asking some of you V3M folk about your motors. Having missed out a local 940 Turbo (that got binned because its moron owner wouldn't sell it to me, even for greater than scrap money), I'd love something small and rear wheel drive.
The fact it's a Volvo is also a great bonus. There's no way on earth I'd start sliding my Amazon around, even with a better engine.
Not saying these are disposable or anything, that's just how they'd sit in my priorities.

Well unlike an Amazon, there's still a few of them left and unlike an Amazon they're actually really fun to drive silly. Not that Amazons handle rubbish, just maybe not as fun sideways as these |

Unfortunately I'm not going to bag one of these on the cheap now because every advert you see is preceded by the word 'Drift'. They are on my radar though - for certain. |
