If you are going volvo, get on Turbobricks.com, a great resource for cars and parts, lots of info there,much of it wrong, but hey. Beware of the members, they are the trolliest, dirt-baggiest, misinformed bunch of hipster wannabes ever.

You forgot to mention how stupid we are. spinning smiley sticking its tongue out

There's this guy whose SN is RedwoodChair and he doesn't seem to be a retarded douchebag, but he lives in CA. But he might know other guys in....Montana.

Ha! we TB'ers are above all else lazy too.

I have about 8 of RedwoodChairs redwood chairs here at my place, known him for 20+ years...

Ahhhh yeah, we sure are. With our flannel shirts and beards and the living at home....We suck. smileys with beer
Yeah, isn't his name Ken or something like that? Cool guy.

Yeah, Ken. He's a solid guy. Kind. Generous, patient. And has become disgusted with the assholes that plague turbobricks...

He sells things for fair prices that he has pulled and packaged up. Goes to the post office daily...Yet the current crowd send emails and PMs every couple of hours complaining they haven't got their stuff.

There are some good guys there but that bulk of the good guys have gone into lurk mode fed up with the Mid cost California punks, and poseurs and the empty noise of guys posting "that's sucks" stuff.

Be very wary. Most of the advice is only "news' or helpful for 23 year old guys who want to pimp the car or "track it" which means DRAG RACE.
The resident self proclaimed suspension expert is so exprt that there was a You-tube vid of the guy in his demo car at a auto-cross when at under 25 mph, maybe 20, and going slow 20, he jack the car up onto two wheels and nearly flipped...

A stock car can go around a cone at 20 without nearly flipping.. Expert.

I say this cause i know 2 240s that have to get cage soon and I though I might ask soem of the local guys if they would be realistic and maybe to the bend up and notch for 3 -4 at the same time. We all know that takes only a litle more time to repeat the gawddam annoying tubes you stared at for _______minutes so 3-4 isn't 3-4 times the time, its maybe 1.3, maybe 1.5 the time...
Maybe you could get in on that.

I will do that starting at $1300 per cage. Trick is I have to have a shell to test fit and profile.

Yeah, I made the mistake of going there for advice more than once. Made me feel retarded. Now if I want advice from people that have more experience than me, I go here.

To the OP, I'd really only visit the For Sale section of TB. Or Off Topic. Many lulz are contained there.



Something about something....dirt.
