First post as a contributor to oppo, here's my car, I'm sure most won't approve of the significant lowering.

Literally my favorite part about it is the turbo badge on the back...which is from a VL Holden Commodore...picked it up from a buddy that lived in Australia brand new.

Thanks, I come from a background of short track stockcar racing, so ever since I was little I wanted some form of stockcar wheel on my car...the fact the OEM 240 caps cleared was just a bonus.

Welcome! While not my cup of brick tea you don't have to worry too much around these parts about "non approval"

You love it, usually we love it or shut the hell up about it! (if it is yours)

240 caps on Soft 8s! You're my new hero. BTW, you say you come from short track racing? What do you think of the G-body/Metric Chassis?

No, I approve. Those centercaps from OEM steelies look perfect on there.

All new Oppo members must give me their ownership and keys to their sick Volvo.

This is a fact, did you not read the rules

I desperatly want stock car wheels with yellow or white lettering

It's a wagon, a lowered wagon, on steelies.. Dude, you'll fit RIGHT IN. Welcome to the family.

We're quite normal here, we're not insane, I promise.

Big fan, even though the short tracks have been a big help in the demise of the cars. For that reason I'm happy there are full tubular chassis available for street stock and late models now...anything to keep street Metric frame cars on the road. At some point in my life I'd love to own a G-Frame Malibu coupe, but they're near impossible to find.

The Kumho's that are on there originally were going to have yellow lettering...I got one tire done 4 years ago then said screw it because my back started killing me(this was when I was 21, hooray shitty backs!).

I have the world's worst-condition 84 Cutlass Supreme Brougham Sedan. It currently needs a frame rail and some rust repair. I hope you approve of it.

Awesome ride. Stance and wheels look great to me! Welcome to oppo

It'll still do sick burnouts, maybe with a little coaxing, therefore it's all good in my book.

It'll one-wheel peel like it's going out of style. But I bought it because these cars won't be around to enjoy for too long. You have to save these future classics while you can.

I can make a stencil out of cardboard for way cheaper, haha.

We did that back in 2010-ish on my buddies 240SX circle track car, we ran I think 2 or three different brands of tire on the car(they all reacted differently with heat and such), but they all said Goodyear on them after.

Lol. I have no idea how to make a tire stencil. I'm just going to use a tire pen and give myself RWLs.

I give it an 8.5 out of 10. The lowering does not bother me one bit(I actually prefer it this way). Welcome aboard I sure hope we will see a lot more of your turbo brick.

Awesome! Welcome. Car looks very familiar to another Volvo I ran into at High Point NJ (I think), yours doesn't have an NJMP sticker does it?

oh, I heartily approve and envy your correct wheel drive! Turbobricks ahoy!

Nah, you might be thinking of my buddy Pete's car though. He's had a purple, 5 speed swapped, open header V90.

your wheels are still perpendicular to the ground...you're good man

Only because it's a solid axle in the rear. ;)

EVERY Volvo should come with these wheels.

Dude... That's horrible. I actually got to talk with your friend for a bit. It wasn't just me either, it was when I was with like six other cars during an Oppo meet haha. We were all embracing his car and told him he should join Oppo.
