I have a 01 9-3 and 98 v70 t5. They're awesome when they're running and I don't have to buy parts for them lol. I need to sell the volvo though.

The wheels are still on the car. They aren't going anywhere yet lol.

When you spin the wheels, bolted to the car, how much run out are you seeing? These low offset wheels are less than friendly when they are bent or not true at all. I had a hub that ended up being bent on Pedro. I couldn't feel the vibration with high offset, but with my ET10 BBS wheels, it was unbearable.

I did a runout test on the balancer when I rebalanced the nankangs. It said they're all in spec. The left front hub has a good amount of play in it and I feel it mostly in the steering wheel. I'm gathering all the stuff I need to rebuild the front hubs right now.

Haha nice! And true dat brother i hear ya on that. Im currently redoing the entire suspension, brakes, timing belt and water pump, pcv system, heater core and and bunch of other things to my 98 glt wagon. Also i might be acquiring the 98 t5 sedan down the street from me for peanuts to convert my wagon to a T5. Huge project that im in but i love it! But the festiva thing caught me just as bad as the volvo did. Only 2 cars out of the hundred or so cars ive owned that have done this to me hahaha im an addict lol

x3 re ovlov's (242)

the nankangs I mentioned last page are AR1's.
$132AUD each my mate paid for 17" - effen awesome (especially for the price) he said who ran them a couple weeks ago.

best bit - they make 'em in 13's!!

whether or not you can get hold of em is another matter, but if you can't get AO50's (which only go down to 14"), they are the next best thing around at the moment

Had the back end step out on me tonight. Carried too much speed into a corner panicked and touched the brakes mid corner. Straightened up almost immediately though. Really need to get signed up for some track days so I can learn the limits of this thing

And you aren't down here in sunny southern Arizona at our private track getting practice because?
Come down and play, Charlie and I are bored otherwise

Festys are my first love. My aqua was my first car got it about 13yrs ago iirc. The saab is supposed to be my "nice" car. It's been nothing but a pain since I got it but when it's running its so much fun. The volvo hasn't really won me over. It sounds amazing with a ipd turbo back and the seats (850r or v70r) are so comfortable but it just kinda boring otherwise. It doesn't help that its a auto and pretty rough. I think the pcv needs to be redone on it also its leaking oil out of every seal too.

Volvo love here too.

When did you get that!? More pics x2.

Life/work obligations. I should be back out there in may unless something major comes up. If it wasn't for work I'd be really tempted to move out there.

I really want to see what these are like with a 5spd and a proper suspension setup. Narrower, longer and taller than a festiva. We've lifted a engine out of one with no hoist lol.

Changed things up a little.

[firebush357]

Those Wheels!

[dliverance]

Wow, Those look amazing. What are the specs on those?

[Advancedynamix]

Are those appliance mags? Do they ride smooth?

It's my girls daily. C30R Polestar.

[shorestiva]

enkei mesh 13x6 +15 so same size as the exim just +2mm offset. So now I don't rub except over really big bumps. They seemed to ride a lot better on the way home. I couldn't get one to balance out right and the tire machine says the runout is marginal. So we'll see after a few days.

I love those polestars. Probably feels like a tank compared to Pedro though lol.
