I figured I'd say hey, I'm the crazy mofo with the volvo, there's really not much there (well, from a mechanical standpoint.. months of tuning, but other than that...), but if ya got questions, feel free to ask (Yes, 95% of it is factory)

shutup bitch, thats not funny... :)

I'd better wait till i've got some more power to spare, the next free diff is a 3.31:1 (eeeeeeeeek!).
The new turbo is on (thanks sam!), for those who care about that sorta thing, its gotta grand national compressor wheel, and a turbonetics stage 2 turbine wheel... according to my supplier, this bad boy hums along nicely at 25 psi, and at the moment, I'm not even getting into its efficency range. Blast volvo and their "low friction" engine. (Actually, thats not true at all, the engine stock came with 114 hp and 140 torque, and has the smallest rods i've ever seen... except maybe those you'll find on an rx-7 ;) )

However, for my loyal fans(and past and future victims) new things are on the horizon for the little brick that could... I've told a few of yall whats next, and those that I haven't, well, tough, you'll just hafta wait and see :twisted:


And in case you're wondering, the new turbo still says "volvo" (its a "sleeper turbo" ;) ), and the 5% thats not volvo includes my pimplicous fog lights, the credit card stickers, about a foot and a half of oil line, and a few errant zippy ties that make it all come together :D
