Don't lump me in with them. I'm an enthusiast of mechanic design, be it engines, weaponry, or productive machinery. Not a guy with a wrench that reads the marketing garbage AFE/insert other "enthusiast" brand that can't legally warranty half of their products.

 

I fail to see a correlation between people screeching variations of "forced induction is more efficient!!! Reclaimed energy!!!" and anything I've said.

If you can't be civil. Please leave

 

Edit. That goes for everyone in the thread

What do you guys think of the C30 T5?

 

I like it. It looks decent, and it has a phenomenal turbo inline 5 (as the T5 suggests). And it's a Volvo xD

Interesting. In the UK, having done some research, it's the opposite. The update is over 11k and the pre update is under 7k.

Also damn, I'm tempted to replace my R34 wallpaper with this :P

There is one C30 T5 with the R-design and Polestar tune for sale in Sweden. 115 000 SEK.

Translates roughly into 11k. It's very hard to find a Polestar in the UK. I don't think that they even sell it here. Also is that yours? If so, looks great in white!

xD I have to wait 3 years before I get my license and because insurance is a twat in the UK, I'd have to wait a few years on top of that. I just hope prices will go down :)

Great little cars. Did my bad weather training (Skid pad) in a diesel one. Didn't break traction until i got pissed and pulled the E-brake. 

(The point is to feel when a car over and understeers. Mine wouldn't. Everyone elses did) 

I'd imagine the T5 is really fun to drive. If the diesel is anything to go by. And that was great fun to drive

I've always loved how they look. I guess based on that it'd make a great track car.

Wow. There are very few for sale in the UK. On Autotrader, the site I use to see used cars, they're all over 11k for an update and when I say all I mean only one. That is probably sold now though

At the very least they are fun on country roads. And volvo's design language is just getting better.

Almost bought one once. (Well. An 840. But still) They are real cheap over here. Some go for around 5k

For me it's laughter. Whenever I do something incredibly stupid I just laugh, congratulate myself, and continue with life.

I'm the same xD The "Well done jackass" clap is reserved for the highest echelons of fuckuppery.

 

On another note. The third gen camaros are getting damn close to becoming tax free cars over here. 

Might hold off for another year or so and look at getting a late 80s one with the 350 in it.

And you didn't... Now I'm going to be mad at you forever. jk xD

They are stupid rare for some reason... And prices, well, they are worth what they cost IMO, but they are a bit on the expensive side (25k onwards)

It's not a CSi, but still. Pretty rare.
