I'm Baccccccccccckkkkk
Welllllllllllllllllllllllll............ after a long holiday away from here i concentrated on work, work, work, girlfriend, work and more f'in work.
G20 is going to strong and wasn't looking for another at all.... i LOVE my G! But then I saw this car for sale...... Took it out for a test drive and fell in LOVE. Always wanted one and finally had the cash to lay on one. Its everything ive wanted...in a car lol.
Bought a 2007 Volvo C30 T5(BOOOOOOST), 6-speed in Passion red. Love the style and look of this car alot, and really love the handling too. Cant wait to pick it up next Friday when all of the little things (bumper chips) are finished. Im really stoked to use the badass stereo system, heard nothing but good things about the "Dynaudio" system.
Heres the weird thing about the car. The dealership told me that the official "R-Design" packaged C30's were released in 2008, yet my 07 has the R-design skirt kit, fogs and a much lower suspension. I parked the car next to several other T5 C30's, and mine is lower in ride height. They told me it came with a "sport chassis" suspension from factory. Regardless.... she is the sexiest car i have laid eyes on.
Im a die-hard Nissan fan, but cant wait to learn more about the swedish power lol. Here are some pics from the dealer...
Looks could be deceiving.... and like always, i hope they are

OMG! Your alive Nizmo.
Great upgrade man, I really can't say anything bad, other then I'm gonna miss the G'. Whatever the C30 Lacks in looks it makes up for in performance. I mean really what more could you ask for you now have a 6spd turbo coupe.
Give me a shout sometime.

Re: I'm Baccccccccccckkkkk
Congrats man, it looks great. Sad to see the G go, but if it's replaced by another nice car it's all good! Besides, I remember long ago when you had your eye on one of these, and ever since they came out you were on about how nice they were. It's finally yours lol

Re: I'm Baccccccccccckkkkk
Thats exactly it, I love the car from the front and the side, but hate the way the rear looks from the rear, as well as the interior center console leaves much to be desired. But love the upgrade regardless.Can't see what upgrades you have in store for it.

Re: I'm Baccccccccccckkkkk
Yes interior is very simple, and easy to use. Guess that's why the overall style sucks. They wanted it to be easy on the eyes, and function before form.... Which they excel at
I pick her up tomorrow!!!!!! Stoked!!!!

Re: I'm Baccccccccccckkkkk
Welcome to the world of boosted sweedspeed. All you need now is a tune...to get rid of that panzy factory mapping, and you will be in greater love.
And if you need parts for it, i got a guy...just call me if anything is needed.

***UPDATE***
Installed the new OEM BBK.... what a difference!!! Incrediable feel in the pedal now, and its so much easier to modulate now.
BEFORE:
AFTER:
I also picked up my new BBS rims and put them down in the basement... wife had some choice words for me putting them down there.... but its my "Man-Cave" haha.
Finished the Plasti-dipped emblems.
Then took her out for her first bath...
Also.... said *** winter and installed the new BBS rims with P-zero rubber.
NEW BBS RIMS....
Also, bought a 3" ELEVATE intake pipe and rear R-Design spoiler....

Re: I'm Baccccccccccckkkkk
congrats on the car. the rear end still needs a bit of getting used to (for me). Looks like the old 80s Renault.
Although, the bbs rims look really good on the car, can i just say baller for that combo?!

Re: I'm Baccccccccccckkkkk
Got side swiped the other day... time for paint and no plate holes!
Decided to get down to work and remove my bumper for the first time.... damn its easier then i first thought lol.
Tired to buff it out lol....fail:tongue:
Then removed it
And look what I found lol.... smokers
Got it painted...
Fitted and installed! Missing fog bezels as im re-painting them
New tuner is in, and installed!!!
Ok.... here my review on the Elevate tune. HOLY FACKING ----!!!! This extra power is incrediable!!!! Selling this tune should be illegal, not kidding... its scary quick. I love the sharper throttle response as well! I had to load my stock tune back on lol. Until my full exhaust gets installed, its staying stock for now. It produces 50+hp and 70lb/ft or torque...at the wheels!!! New exhaust is coming next week!

Sooo....How many bags of Grocery's fit in it??
Just kidding! That thing is looking awesome! If those tuners are anything like what they do to diesels. You Might want to invest in a better clutch soon. Just a heads up! Your doing a great job with it! Keep it up!
