Hawt!:badboy:

The Gemini's are tight, best yet!

[Overboosted745]

Only on a RWD Volvo board would wheels like Gemini's be considered dished... but man I tell you what, hot doesn't even begin to describe it.

Lookin good man.

Whats your suspension setup? Do you get any rubbing with the 225's? I rub 205/50/16's at full lock up front and in the back when I've got some junk in da trunk. I've got Intrax springs, Bil HD's etc.

... and that next Volvo may be sooner rather than later. Alas, I didn't bring my camera last night. I will this Sat. morning, though.

needs centers and at least cut springs in the rear but besides that car looks clean.

[CAPT_BLOTTO]

i like his look

[dhallilama]

dig 'em sans centers......

[NYC_I_ROLL]

Mike, I command ye to give ME your 3" exhaust
and powerstroke IC ;)

btw i decided no to cut the ic pipe bc it'll fit once the 15g is on.

BUT i don't think the dp I have will.

Need some cash???

BTW

Best wishes on your wedding!

[Volvofly]

Those wheels look similar to the gold wheels on the black 740 in the Volvo museum.

[NoSi1212ah]

Mike, your car lets so nice. I love the stance, as im sure you do thats why you're not cutting the springs, and the rims look awsome. Keep up the great work man.

i'm gonna throw on the caps and see how they look ... odd as it be on the way out and about today i saw a grey ... 90+ 740 debadged, w/ gemini's ....guy checked out my car and gave me a thumbs up ... if only he was on tbricks .. damnit


hows this for a cold start lumpy idle

Overboosted745: cut 1.5 coils off the front, and overloads in the back w/ HD's in the back and 157k stockers up front ... no rubbing that i hear or feel but there is a little bit on the very inner fender liners above the frame


CAPT_BLOTTO: NO, and for that i'm not telling you where i live HA haha


NYC_I_ROLL: downpipe not fit? your Td05 should have the same 2.5 inch outlet setup the 15g does so .. eh get a hold of me next week and we'll make it work

thanks for all the comments ..and yes i know the markers are on the wrong way .. i set it up like that. and yes i LOVE the stance .. tho the front needs some HD's which i think will bring it back up maybe 1/2 inch @ the most which will make it near perfect. i do want to drop the rear like 1/4 inch @ the most but eh .. it works for me

[CAPT_BLOTTO]

man i just really hate hubcaps
