Introduction:

DISCLAIMER: This is my seccond account as I lost my login info and cant seem to get my email working on the old onw, so this is my current one, hope it is okay (main account was FluffyTheGamer)

Hello guys, Bamse here 🙂)
So I am going to make a short introduction of myself and the cars I got, I am a 18 year old peep from sweden, I still go to school so I dont have that much of an income per week, only like $375/Week. Might seem like much and that is also because I have a part time job as a mechanic during the weekends and sometimes during the afternoons also. I daily a prety much stock Volvo 855GLT, only thing is that I cut the springs. I am into drifting so you should see quite some drifting here and also alot of updates about my newly purchased project car!

The Volvo is my babe, completely rust free and costed me $1,380 when I bought it like a month ago. luckily Volvo parts are insanely cheap here in sweden so if something were to break I can replace it without any worries, that's why i drive it for a daily 🙂)

So now on to the project, why I got it and how I were able to afford it:
I work alot when I am not in school, so I managed to save up to about $10,000. And for my 18th birthday I got my savings bank account unlocked wich contained another $10,000. So I instantly went ahead and looked for a nice daily driver, wich became the Volvo I have now. And I were also on the hunt for a basic driftcar that was rust-free. Now, almost a year after my birthday I managed to find one decent car: this Nissan 180sx RPS13. This car was honestly a steal considering it is a SR20DET Swapped RHD car, allthough the car itself isnt in the best condition, the engine needs a re-build badly due to its rediculous 1,6 bar boost that it apparently pushes on stock internals (planning on either JZ or LS swapping it anyway) and the rear right part of the car is all messed up due to a crash the previous owner had

Heyo friendo, it's nice to see a Volvo again, since it's been a long while since Smurf did anything with his. Welcome to VS!

Hello and thanks everyone!

Yeah we are lacking volvos in this forum, Remember that when I was active with my old account there were only 2 guys with Volvos, Me with my white 855 Glt and Smurf with the red USA one 🙂

psst, 200sx is no RPS, just a RS,

Thanks mate, I am as exited as you! I am not located in Japan tho, but I will hit you up if I need something shipped to sweden that I cant find online!

So on my way home I stopped by my friends house to pick up a trunk and right tail light he had laying in his garage, His name is Martin and he drives this insane S13 hatch, could not resist taking some shots of it when he pulled it out of the garage!

He joined me back home, with a short stop at Biltema to pick up some tint for the Volvo and red spraypaint for the RPS13, So when we went home we started to tint the windows and front headlights along with a headlight wiper + rear badge delete. I also had some leftover paint from last summer so I decided to quickly spray the wipers and door handles blue, came out alright but the car itself looks alot better now! cant wait to put on the summer wheels!

With 3 hours left untill we had to leave we quickly drove down to the garage the RPS13 is located at to start fixing the rear end (wich is a bit fixed already by the previous owner). And believe it or not, we managed to replace the trunk, install the rear taillight along with some red spraycan tint, fit the rear windshield and remove the trunk interior! it was some damn fast work if I say so myself!

Now to the plans for the RPS13, I will rebuild the SR and put it in another shell to use as a beater, and get myself either a LS or JZ to put in this car. I will eventually get a cage for it and a tube front, looking to push around 600-700Hp at the wheels. But that is far from now. In the near future I plan to do this:

Get the body fixed along with a roof window
Respray the car
Fix the SR
Get suspension parts and wheels
Order seats, boost controller and steering wheel
might gut the interior a little
Get overfenders and eventually a kit

New day more work done!

Even though it is winter time I decided to put on the deep dished Pegasus wheels, and oooh boy do they fit good on the car! I were scavenging for a set of wheels for the RPS13 and found a guy on Blocket (swedish trading site) that had stock s13 wheels for sale, so I called him and asked if he wanted to trade, for my current wheels, and he accepted! So on my way there I snapped a picture for you to see the Volvo in its current state

When I came to the shop I moved the car to the other part of the building as all tools were there, and imediately started to jack it up to change wheels. I also wanted to get sleepy eyes but dont want to get new hid ones so i modded mine for the look. next up was to fix the rest on the right rear panel and paint, in wich unfortunately wasnt enough for the trunk. It is slowly comming together and i am starting to love it more and more!

I am searching for a Inline 6 to swap into the RPS13, budget around $2,000-$2,500, so if anyone got one for sale, turbo or not, doesnt matter, only thing is that it needs to be complete and close to stock
Also ordered coilovers wich should be here tomorrow and a Spirit Rei Miyabi full kit for the car wich should be here in the end of the week or next week, some seriously expensive stuff but damn, i will not regret spending $2,300 for such a nice kit!

BamseKaffe

Front is litterally perfection fitmentwise, but i want to both tuck it more in the back and not at the same time, i'll leave it like this for now though, i like cars that lay parallel with the ground

Man That volvo Is Sexy

BamseKaffe

Long time no see, Traded the sx away for a mint 2j swapped S13, my sx was built and had all those nice goodies so the trade was fair tbh as the s13 is litterally bone stock exept from cut springs and wheels, and ofc the stock 2jz-ge, so this is going to be my new little project for now, if I doesnt go back to the 200sx chassis again lol, enjoy 🙂

PS: also need to update my garage with those 20000000000 weekly paychecks lol, hello rich bamse xD

BamseKaffe

Bye Bye Mighty Lolvo.. Sold it to a guy that lives a couple of miles from me for $2,500 as I wanted something more fun to get grosseries in

And hello my new car, A mighty fine AE86, going that full Japlife now 🙂) the car costed me $3,800 and it was quite a good deal! might be slower than the volvo but that isnt a problem as i have big plans for this car, this will not be your average 86, nuuuuuh, that is not how I roll. so I have ordered a stage 2 turbo kit for it already! Also Last night when got home I went right at it, stripped the interior down and went ahead and bought a nardi wheel and a bride Zeta seat for it from a local dude. and that tint I had laying around went into good use, as I tinted the front indicators and windows for now 🙂)
sorry for the non-bamse quality images, was a late night so didn't bother editing it all ://

So now the S13 will be my daily, as the 86 will be my project car, hope no one gets mad at me for putting the s13's 2j on hold for now, as the 86 will be in the garage for a while 🙂

Soju
