RANDOM PISS STOP | EUROFEST

The Sk Crew are back from the Xmas break!

So its time to continue on with our Sydney trip coverage.

We arrived in Sydney and started on route through the dreaded big city traffic to our first stop at Zen Garage.... We broke up in traffic and then all pulled up at a random street to re-group, take a piss and stretch the legs.

Alex took the chance to have a look over his car!

yeah, this happened!

Couple of snaps and it was back on the road!

Streetkarnage invades Zen Garage coming next!

Thanks, Streetkarnage.

WAITING FOR ATTENTION....

Its been a while since I have posted!!

I grabbed a few shots of Zaks Volvo the first weekend he got it running and we went and shot Alexs MKV... I have a huge soft spot for this car and hopefully this doesnt make Zak home sick or want to leave the lady boys early!!!!

THE LAST OF THE HAWK

Had a look through some old photos and I come across the last photos I snapped of the hawk before it went to its new owner... looking at these photos really makes me miss it, a lot!!

 I hope the new owner is enjoying it, as much as I did!!!

Thanks, Streetkarnage.

MIND RUNNING WILD

Something that has been playing on my mind for a long time, is a Shakotan Volvo 244 with a Shark-Nose conversion!!

So I thought I would give it a crack on photoshop and see what I could come up with... there is a few things I would do differently in real life, such as a smaller metal bumper, US quad square lights, and a bottom lip!

But pretty stocked with how it tuned out :)

Thanks, Streetkarnage

OEM+ VERSATILE FROM NORWAY

Believe it or not, this beautiful Volvo 945 used to be a 2 seater work vanwagon! Up until Heming from Norway got his hands on it of course. I must say, Heming has done extremely well for his first car, inside and out from bumper to bumper.

Under the hood is the euro spec B230FK turbo red block engine, attached to a M90 5-speed manual gearbox. Its running a 3" turboback exhaust system, BSR 0.8 bar boost actuator, Viking Ecomax fuel chip, and a BSR Optiflow air filter kit. I imagine with such an efficient set up, it runs like a dream with the Eaton G80 locker from factory, and the Sachs Racing pressure plate and Organic clutch.

After removing all the utility van equiptment, Heming installed a very stylish up-to-par interior and registered the car as a 5-seater.

Modernizing the inside of this car, seats from a 1997 Volvo 945 Classic were put in. It has been decked out with V90 accessories such as dome light, visors, and headliner. '98 945 door panels were equipped along with the mahogany wood trim all around. Completing the look with a Volvo original "Bison" leather steering wheel and 960 center armrest. The windows and mirrors have also been converted to power which was a nice and needed touch.

2-tone leather and cloth seats

Lighted mirror visors and 3-way dome light

V70N chrome plated step guard

The car was resprayed its original color, Regent red pearl autumn. A Volvo original accessory sport front lip has been added along with a V70N rear spoiler. The door handels and rear wiper are from the S/V90 series Volvo, a cleaner look that is also color matched.

This wagon is riding on a very nice suspension set up. Adjustable strut mounts by Kaplhenke set at -2.16 degree camber. Myranez/Gaz adjustable coil-overs all around, the front with Bilstien Sprint inserts, and the rear with a bound/rebound adjustable option. Also a panhard rod by IPDusa has been installed.

Rolling on 3-piece Image Cast BPS wheels from ImageWheels out of the UK really tie this car all together. A great wheel choice, 18x8 front and 18x8.5 rear wrapped in Dunlop SP9000 sport 225/35 tires.

This Volvo is absolutely flawless and super clean! I was happy to hear back from Heming as I was eager to do a feature on his beautiful wagon that he has put some serious work into.

FINALLY, AN UPDATE!

Well Finally the wagon is on its way to be completed by the guys at ON-ROAD.

It was so great to see it out of that garage even though it didn't drive out, I'm still stoked! (haha)

Really looking forward to having the guys put there finishing touches on to it.. I can't recommend them any more!

Check them out HERE!

My rear window has defiantly taken shape.. saving a few spots for a few other sites... Also I'm considering starting my other window if anybody wants to send there sticker out to go on it. :)

Updates should be a lot more frequent now its in this final stage, so make sure to stay tuned!

Thanks, Streetkarnage.

BEST 144, EVER?

This is my favourite Volvo 144 of all time.! 

I have been trying to hunt down some specs on it but have failed.

If anybody has any info or even more photos, please email them through!

In my eyes its perfect, the ride height, those wheels, and the how extremely mint it is... the owner has done one hell of a job!

Thanks, Streetkarnage.
