My boy took a liking to your XC when you stopped by. It is a nice looking car.
Hello Guest, welcome to the initial stages of our new platform!

Thank you for being a part of our community!
That?s why I?m always checking this thread. It looks awesome! Cnc router? I?m starting to get into g code. First up are tps, crank sensor, and maybe a coil bracket.
Yup. I use it for everything. I?m not proficient enough to write straight to G code, but I can read it and modify when necessary. I just use BobCAD. It?s the dumbest simple CAD/CAM system and I?ve been using it forever. Real machinist laugh at me, but it does what I need it to.
That ride height is just about perfect.
^^ My thoughts exactly...so I guess whatever has to be done so that the struts/dampers have (more or less) equal travel in compression/rebound at that static height should allow things to both look good and work good.
I think you should fit the stock dash in the car now that it's on the E30 chassis.
I'd second that. Looks like it would be a ton of work to get the E30 dash rearranged sufficiently. Why not use an Amazon dash and fit the E30 components into that (gauges, wiring, heater core, etc)? Plus it would help the illusion that this is still a modified Amazon, not an E30 wearing a Volvo hat.
I put a fair amount of thought into it and there?s just no good way to use the Amazon dash and get the rest of the controls to work/fit. I?d be better off building a dash from scratch and if I?m gonna do that I may as well start with all of the mounting points for the pieces and go custom from there. I?ve got some ideas to bring the E30 dash back to the styling of the Amazon. I think it?ll be ok once it?s done.
