Sin, your mods signature... 850 97

... is often longer than your posts. Man alive you've modified the hell out of that Volvo, but hey, I don't know if it's Brickboard-legal to put stuff on the signature that's *in the mail* or waiting to be put on the car *in the basement.*

Judges?

;-)

    I have not seen it but the LOOOOONNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG sigs bother me too.

    Clean it up so it is legal Sin - what is legal here anyhow?

      Re: Sin, your mods signature... 850 97R

      Sorry but the long-winded sig lines bother me too. I wouldn't outright accuse someone of bragging or anything because I'm sure the owner is just proud of his or her work on their car but if everyone on this forum felt compelled to do the same, we'd end up with some really long-ass posts with the sig line making up 80% of it. But it's really up to the poster, it's just a matter of personal style--I've always been the stealthy type. Whenever I can offer advice or my experience I will, I just don't feel the need to list all my mods out in the open.

    No Problem 850 97

    I'll take 'em off if it bothers you or anyone else :) I just figured I'd have the brake lines on the car by now, and I'd feel like a 'waster' if I simply stopped using the Toyo Proxes T1-S's on the Turbo rims to put on the 17" rims. As for the chip, I still haven't heard from who I need to, in order to get a custom made chip for the car. We've been e-mailing for a while to work things out, and they still haven't given me an answer yet.

    Actually, I'm kinda unhappy with the delivery of the SPG9 stainless steel braided brake lines. I was told they would be ready to ship from SPG9 in four days on May 4th. And the shipping company and rate was the same as the OMP Strut Tower Brace from CFI Motorsports, which took two days to ship. So assuming a total of 6 business days, they should've been here on May 14th. I'm sure it's a great product, and I know it really isn't their fault, but when they give a delivery quote, I think it is only professional that they should deliver when they say they will. Even with this delay, I'd still use SPG9 again simply because of the great customer service. Their customer service is what is keeping this order alive, and I'm sure it is also what is giving them great business. In the future, I plan on either having my throttle body, or buying one and having it big bored by SPG9.

    With all the mods I've done, and parts I've bought this year, after the things listed in my signature are on, I won't do anything else this year. Next year, I plan on doing suspension (iPd lowering springs, either Koni or Bilstein shocks/struts, camber plate for -1 degree of camber on the front wheels) and brakes (iPd Power Slot rotors, AEM pads). And depending on cash flow, I may also get an Alpine EQ/Digital Processor this year.

    And also depending on cash flow, I might also do a complete paint job next, next year. The R front end could really use one. My mom hit a parking curb and she hasn't driven the car since. My sis drives it once in a blue moon, and everytime she does, I cringe. The first time I let her drive it, there was a cardboard box between 12"-15" cubed in the middle of the road, and she just smashed into it and kept on driving. I was freaking out and asked her what the hell she was doing? She said, I thought it would just go under the car. DAMN! The majority of SUV's can't even clear that. Needless to say, there is some scratching on it, and with the 65km on the highway I do a day during the university year, I get my fair share of paint chips.

    Anyways, that's the tentative game plan for now. And honestly, if anyone has a problem with the signature, the items in question will promptly be removed.

          Leave it on ;-) 850 97

          No, don't remove them... I'm just giving you sheet. I think it's great, not bragging. Your story about your sister hitting the box made me bust out laughing!

      Yeah...take it off.. 850 97

      Hehehe...just kidding. There's nothing with a little bragging on the Board.

      Maybe it's a waste of space...but hey...what da heck, right?

      Last time I put my list just to tease someone, got another person accusing me for showing off. Don't get it....if one doesn't like others to brag about their cars, don't bother to read them. Or ask the web master to ban them or something.

        Ooh Kai . . . 850 97

        I thought you were getting at something else at first lol!

        I guess you have a point. As long as I'm not breaking any rules, I should leave em on eh?

        Damn! I can imagine the length your signature would be. I guess when it gets that extreme, we'd have to ban it ;)

          Re: Ooh Kai . . . 850 97

          Easy guys, this is a VOLVO board remember? None of this XXX rated stuff :-)

          As for the sig Sin, I have to admit it is a little tiring to see such a long list of stuff after all your posts but hey, this IS the board for modified bricks and if you cant show off here, where can you? I say leave it. Anyone who doesn't like it doesn't have to read it now do they?
