Ended up working today was meant to be off! Finished late too so only just looked so nobodys messed about! Just had a quick look they are all 16/53/13 Not found anything road legal yet! They all got competition use only on. There are more on shelf that couldn't get at on my own. Sure there's a pair of inters on there! I got a pair of Michelin pilot sx wets as new. Pair of SB 10's . Pair of Pirelli corsas like new. Pair of well used cut slicks on mk 2 Mexico steels rims have curb rash and need repaint. Some others tba. I'll put prices and tread depths on tomorrow as I'm off work. Feel free to make offers by pm if u need some quicker.

A mate had one bitd he fitted gutters to it as sideskirts and painted them to match car. Looked awful but was epic. He went into Southport Maccy D's drive thru did a massive burnout on handbrake. Front tyre set on fire. We were waving at him to say your on fire! He just waved back thinking we were letting on to him. Next thing he's jumping out flapping about. Funniest thing I've seen.

A lot of talk about buying this!
7 years SORNed lots of welding and a replaced fuel pump she passed the MOT second attempt. Failed on broken spring and uneven braking on rear axle.
A bit of a rolling restoration. Lots planned.
Car had full Volvo service stamps till converted and a lot of history of servicing and parts fitted.
Was built by or for someone who worked for Prodrive Subaru. I'd like to find out which! The guy I bought it from took the Subaru wheels and adaptors off.
Now my daily!

The lpt just has the boost turned down at factory. Had a 760 turbo with 2.3 was standard as far as I could tell apart from a Vauxhall Chevette HSR backbox. Needed lowering as was like an ocean liner in the twistys. Very driftable tho. Turbobricks is the forum for these 500bhp and tyre shredding torque is available! Now got Volvo 280 estate Rover V8 5 speed!

Strangely enough our local post office closed down recently. The general store next door bought it and knocked through. It is now a post office again. The guy in there said from April you don't have a physical tax disc anymore! It will be online and post offices won't be doing vehicle excise duty anymore. Gonna be a nightmare for people with no knowledge of computers! He clearly doesn't know what he is talking about. The disappearance of VED discs isn't happening until October 2014, and you will still be able to renew it at the Post Office. He must have been at Lance Armstrongs drink bottle? Thankfully they don't do VED! I'll put him straight later.

Thx I've been lost for hours looking at Swedish, Norwegian and Finnish sites. Most don't have language converter. They are et 6 offset. From looking at pics it seems no arch mods. They have probably relieved inner arch and rolled lips a bit.
The Wellers are et 0 which is a bit more.
The Oceans have nice offset but for me I'd prefer if they made 15"s. I think 18"s are a bit too far away from 14" + 15".
I'm running Virgos at present. Virgos would rock if banded.
I've yet to find someone that will band alloys! I've seen your name on voc a lot. I'm darkslider on there. I was here but can't log into old acct so opened new one!

Hi all I've got some of the above in yellow. They were new fitted to a car and swapped for a bigger drop. They were for a chrome bumper 320i maybe fit others? So they have marks on them and the coating is slightly rubbed through in a couple of places. So there is a tiny bit of rust. Its minimal though. Possibly swap/px for Volvo 240 bits mainly blue plastics in good order or a loadliner for estate I'll put pis up tomorrow. £40 ok? You sort courier or collect. Southport, Merseyside Got a few other bits E30 grille not the best, some headlights maybe a few other bits? Thx Ian

Has anyone got some pics of an arched Volvo 240 or 260? I think 7"s on front and 8"s rear will work without mods due to gay narrower rear track. What about 9" rears though? I'm using landy Wellers with a centre welded in. When engineer gets round to making them up! Thx in advance!
