  1. tires on them are : 215-45-R17 Tires that are coming with it are : 225/45/R17 (what a coincedence right?)
  2. Buddy of mine is getting rid of these beauties. for $400 for everything wheels, tires, and another set of tires. He bought them on a Celica GT, and then took them off in favor of the stock wheels, these are lighter though. http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/764451/4 he's selling them with the tires that are on them along with these tires. --- those are continential tires he said off a Jaguar. He's going to clean the wheels up more too, the pictures are just quick wipe down, but he's going to acid bath them to clean 'em up real nice. They're awsome wheels, no bends or anything. get a hold of me 614-425-6480, trying to move them quick and it's a first with the money can pick them up any weekday. Universal 5-lug pattern 17" wheel
  3. I say we get a Big 3 Vs Volvo thing going at National Trails this year, everyone bring out your cars .
  4. okay maybe, but my complaint is here heh. If I was in California I'd be bitching about there. smile.gif I just moved back from PEnnsylvania ... and I'm not even sure the state has cops does it?
  5. hmmmm ... I feel shafted, well if anyone can get an extra print for me while they're there. The guy there told me they'd never handed out print outs ...lying bastard ...
  6. I asked for a pricelist a long time ago ... they have one on the wall but they won't give you a copy.

    I'm lovin' it

    tank of gas today .... gone .... time to not do anything tomorrow because I'm poor and empty heh.
  8. whats the Volvo website? for their cars? I stopped by Volvo.com and all it has is the heavy machinery they make now.
  9. the difference is a 800 hp domestic car has enough torque to break stuff, where was a 800 hp import doesn't Domestic - 800 hp 920 ft. lbs. Import - 800hp 340 ft. lbs. and these are facts haha
  10. guess Volvo IS the better car we might as well all give up and admit it really. It's a FAAAAR more superior car Than anything the big three have. Look at it! "2004 Volvo V70R. 300hp AWd 6 speed wagon. Theres nothing even close to that offered by the big 3. Slightly modified they hold 400+hp with no problems." -- how in the world would a GTO, Corvette, or Mustang keep up with that? honestly, jeesh
  11. that shitty SS grabbed 12.20 so whats the Volvo running? wait! a minute! I can't remember seeing performance Volvo's all the time at the track. Maybe it's just me though
  12. actually, when it comes to the swedes building cars. They're more Fords than they are swedish. and you have to understand also there are a lot of us (typically the people who will give ya hell) That will sacrafice comfy seats and a 6 disc cd player for another 30 hp. You just get the same shit a 'fast' Honda does or the Supra's with 900 hp that run 13.5 1/4 miles. Most the stuff is performance related ribbing, if ya didn't buy it for performance, don't brag about its performance of course I can't really talk my Monte Carlo won't hold an idle right now and the Camaro is out of commission ... but let me tell you how much fun the Celica is to drive
  13. yeah there are some people who say are doing 70 mph in the left lane, and if you come up on them, they move over ... the way it is EVERWHERE. It's to the point I wish there was something I could give out like some kind of award for every person who does 'the right' thing. more people need to know the unspoken rules.
  14. My friend used to have a Volvo and talked it up a lot. You remind me a lot of him. He bought an Accord.
  15. okay, I don't know why, other than stupid people. But why is it when it rains ... and then stops raining, and hasn't rained for hours, and the roads are pretty much ... people are convinced that 65 is not a safe speed? (in a 65) I'm soo tired of getting on the freeway, and no one does that speed limit, which makes it hard to merge, because the people getting on the freeway in front of me are completely happy taking the next mile or two to get up to speed. These people should be limited to back roads. I mean lets face it, Pickerington to Columbus on 70 isn't exactly 'scenic' and this people have done it 100x's why can't they just get to the speed limit?! and more so. I believe the Highway Gods blessed us ...for a reason ... three lanes, I know I was always taught that the left lanes are 'passing lanes' .... am I the only one? I can typically stay in the right lane, once up to speed of course, and pass people on the left lanes like they're not moving ... at 65!!! in the instance that someone is in the right lane going sooo slow that the contruction truck now needs to muster the room and time to pass them, game over. You're behind now until dumbfuck in the right lane slows down or the work truck can edge by him, precious minutes at a time are being taken!!! I'm about to start a coalition to travel at the speed limits. Hill rd in Pickerington dispite all the 50 mph signs, you have to work some amazing magic to get past everyone doing 35 mph. But once you're to 50 mph, there will be two fucktards side by side, doing 35 mph again .. graemlins/doh.gif alright heh, I'm done.
  16. so I went to WyoTech right, got my associates in Automotive technology, got my electronics degree from a career center and graduated high school. I can not find a job because of my driving record, yeah I know my fault, thats why this is called 'just bitchin' buddy of mine is GM at Germain Toyota, ran the motor vehicle check on me and it says I have a valid license and 12 points 4 points for rolling 2 stop signs (in a row, in my neighborhood) and 8 points for speeding tickets, none of them over like 85... boy am I getting shafted on this, I admit I was speeding pay the fine and get the points. Now I can't find a job from auto-places to construction companies because no one can afford to insure me due to my driving record? WTF? It's like I'm over qualified to work in a specific field (cars) and I'm not allowed to, and not qualified to make a living any other way. I've got to find a way to make at least 10 p/hr at LEAST, which is like nothing in the grand scheme of things. just makes me angry, I never had anything bad on my record until the last year, and three of the speeding tickets were gotten 70 west, 5 am, heading home from wyotech on the weekends. my buddy fights every ticket and spends $1,000's on lawyers and he's only for 4 pts on his license. Thats what makes me angry, we totaled all the points he WOULD have and it's 32. guess the moral is honesty doesn't get ya anywhere. okay i'm done. graemlins/gives.gif
  17. sometimes can get around the 'one side or the other' if you drive next to a wal lwhen it does it, it will echo off of one-side better (noticablly) than the other, just an FYI. Hope it helps. I'm going to go replace the water pump on a rodeo now ... *hang me*
  18. I have a kid thats always looking for some extra cash and actually specialized in the 4T60E at WyoTech. He's really good, just give me a PM. The 4L60E and the 4T60E are the same things essentially, just FWD and RWD. Let me know.
  19. Hey guys, I'm back in Pickerington, Ohio now, graduated out of WyoTech yadda yadda yadda. I'm glad to be home. I think this is more fitting here than the job section, but movie it if need be. I want to get as much experience as possible. So if someone is rebuilding there engines or anything like that, or need a hand doing ANYTHING automotive related Import or Domestic. I'm asking if you'll count me in. I'm not a freak or anything, I'm just young and want to learn all I can really. I've still got a lot to learn. I'm trying to find a job to pay the bills now, but aside from work you guys/gals can call me up whenever. It'd actually mean a lot to me to get to help out. okay I'm done begging to be included in the group now. But i'm serious. Just PM or IM me. Thanks!
  20. ok Campbell (think that was the marketing director) said GM had nothing to fear for sales because they were releasing the Cobalt SS and the Monte Carlo SS to compete with the Mustangs sales ... sorry, i'm a GM fan ... but it's going to be really hard to compete with with the Cobra's with our supercharged V6's ... just my humbled opinion though...
