Guys check this one out not a R but........

Re: Guys check this one out not a R but........ (volvosince16)

it's nice for what it is. The rear wheels look completely out of place and with the lip of the wheel sticking, dare I say...inner city low-rider-ish. The interior would've been perfect if he didn't cover the entire dash and steering wheel with baby poop suede.

But that's just my opinion. He could've bought an R with the money he put into that thing.

Ehh... the rear fenders should have been pulled to complete the look. The way they are now it looks like someone simply just bent it outward.

I like the interior though - the guy put in a lot of work

I want that interior. So sweet. Looks like something belonging to a Lambo

pretty sick for an '01 s60. Still though I have to admit I would have bought an R and invested in a bunch of sick performance mods for what he probably spent on hooking up that car.

This is what I'd call a ricer. Exterior looks good but interior.. not my cup of tea.

Nice choice in the audio department. The rest is...

It's what I'd call a guy with a lot of heart. Like it or not he's doing some impressive things with that car. My guess is this is the shape of things to come as another group of gearheads get in the mix.

that is one official project....the man has some heart indeed to keep something like that up. looks good.

Re: (crimnlmnded)


It depends on your goals I suppose. The R is a great all-around car but if you wish to increase the performance you will find yourself quickly tapped out. The t5 engine he is using is capable of much more power than we can squeeze out before it self destructs. He also doesn't have the limiting factors that we do with the AWD components. To add to that he can easily augment the suspension characteristics (KW Variant set-up) because he doesn't have the 4C to contend with.

Quite a transformation and a wildly unique car.

Why do the tires look like they're too narrow for the rim? Is that done on purpose?

Re: (heus33)

It's called poke it's fairly common on vw and I'm sure it was intentional

Re: (heus33)



Actually mounting too-narrow tires onto too-wide wheels is called stretch. Poke is where the wheel, having a too-negative offset, "pokes" out from the wheel opening.

Both techniques are extremely popular amongst the Latino low rider demographic.
