Car appreciation... the aesthetics, the engineering, etc

Dammit are you on TurboBricks?
Sound like a volvo man :D

I spent donkies playing with volvo's, though I never ventured into anything more modern than RWD 700's with redblock turbos. Built a rusty 255k filth machine from a free 745 + 2.3t motronic big valve (531 head I think was the job, not the popular bike tubing) + larger turbo + ford mustang v6 injector (more lbs) + ghetto ecu mod + 3" ebay mandrel bend pipe with no silencers/cat/anything + welded diff (just because, it didn't handle in the first place, so nothing to loose). Was 160hp, after 220/230hp + 250lb of torques. Was hilarious and surprisingly fun.

Since that went always had it on the cards to build a properly sorted volvo 145 (old and curvy no bumper version) + well appointed D5 + IPD suspensions + jag LSD multi link back end + M90 5spd + roof rack. But never got round to it, on account of my lack of the capitals :p

This sounds like Papa Lazarou's language to me...
