Vagabond...again

disclaimer, yes, there is some stretched tire content. these were not the tire sizes i wanted to get, but they were free via a good friend helping me out... and due to money issues, i used them just so i could put the car together. for those who dont read this and just ignorantly make anti stretched tire comments, everyone will be allow to call you a weener.

sooo .... crazy adapters... they seemed like a good idea at the time, now im wondering if it was a good idea.

im pretty happy with how everything fit and how it turned out. i wanna change a few things here or there.. bigger tires would be a start. but for free... im just glad this car is basically done. enjoy!
 
im a bumpstop hero in the front at the moment. considering making my own struts.. pictures really dont do this any justice, i had my friend drive it down the street and the first thing i said to myself was... wow... thats kinda low for a volvo...
 
i mean its low but the wheel gap makes it still look high you know? i demand video of it rolling down the road.
 
adaptitusa.com... . i would not suggest it though. im not real happy with the adapters. they were inexpensive.. but i would have gone a higher quality route if money wasnt an issue.
 
Motorsport tech is the best for adapters IMO, have used them multiple times with no issues. Car looks good I like the color combo just needs to come down a lot or bigger tires

haha mine are from them too. 1.5 front and 1.8 rear. do they wobble when you drive? what dont you like? i've driven up and down the road, but nothing over 40 or so..
 
yea, i got a wobble at 40, but nothing harsh. im picky though. im a mechanic for a living, so a car has to run and drive perfect for me to be happy.

and when i say wobble i have to turn the music off, roll the windows up, and pay attention to it at 42 mph. then i feel it.

thank you. i was looking into them earlier tonight. i'm going to see if i can somehow use what i have... since they were a gift to me... but i may have to invest in a set for the fronts at the very least. i'd like to see the wheel sitting a 1/4 inch more inside the wheel wheel on the front.

Yea they're lifetime warranty, hub centric and wheel centric.
 
i was able to get the wheels centered up a little bit better, but still not to my liking. gonna invest in a better set for the front. just gotta save up. ill deal with the shaking for a little while
 
alright! got the wheels re-re-relined up. got rid of the shake at 45. drives good and smooth up to 85 mph. i wont go any faster than that with it. washed it today. found out my old camera has a fish eye lens thing on it... not a real fish eye lens.....acutally makes the things look cartoony..

you can also see how much the sunlight makes a difference with the color of the car. so many different colors depending on the light.
