[s-cars] Worthy projects (was Alum..was UrS $)

[Taka Mizutani]

Is your friend's car bodykitted? My stock V70R has no problems scraping
unless you have a big dip and I go way too fast into the dip. The "rubbing"
you're talking about are the steering limiters- they're there to help
prevent actual rubbing. They're removable if you don't mind risking rubbing.

Engine sounds like an Audi I-5, same warble, I'm confused. Sounds just like
an Audi when paired with a manual trans and aftermarket exhaust- I came
across a modded S60R while driving the V70R- when he stomped on it, sounded
like an S-car with Stromung.
