Just saying hi, I'm James, what's up? Nice site, some cool builds with a great cross section of cars! Which is great for me because I have almost zero brand loyalty.

Went to school with Kevin for a bit, thats how I heard of this site. What's up man?

Car history:
2000 Jetta TDI
1995 Honda hatch
'87 MR2, first car I ever modified. 2.2L swap, suspension build, scary fun. Lift the throttle and die.
1998 V70 T5 Volvo Wagon
1991 318is E30, M50 swap, full suspension build, camber/toe kit, etc. Beautiful car.
2 E30 parts cars to complement that one..

Currently rocking a Volvo 122 2 door sedan



Under the Knife:



Working on maintenance stuff at the moment. Just finished re-doing the interior, center support bearing, universal drive shaft joint, fluids, re-painting the Enkei 92's, painted the passenger door, carb tinkering (could use some help, anyone in SF familiar with tuning a single webber?). New clutch slave going in tomorrow and I stil need to check the valve gaps, P.O. Didn't seem very car literate. Also needs a new windshield...

She needs a drop pretty badly. Most likely I will cut the springs. If that doesn't work out I'll buy a proper set. Love to finds used set but that doesn't seem very likely. If anyone has a lead let me know.

Here's my "build thread" from GRM, not much there but hey. And that's not me in the pics, just a friend helping out.

Feedback, suggestions, virtual high-fives all welcome.

Will she get painted? Probably not. I'm more likely to spend the cash on a 1UZ or T9 5.0 combo
