Miko,

Seems a few dudes got PB's.

I took the Volvo out for a spin tonight, it tells me it wants to go to the drags too.

From the looks of things it will get a mid 14 if I leave it in 'D' maybe a bit quicker. I'll have to get the shift kit put in so I can get 1st to 2nd working better on manual shifts, then it might get a 13.

Yea - it was interesting cos some of the guys didn't think the track prep was very good so mixed feelings really.

be interesting to see how the Volvo would actually go - I know it's quick. Would be great to see the look of ppl's faces when it rolls into the staging area:)

I was a bit pissed at first, seemed like I just wasted my money last night, but on the way home I was happy again, beat a few cars:D

There was a Commodore trying to keep-up around a corner, he fish-tailed it a few times before running it up and embankment at 70km/hr:bahaha:

See'ya:burnout:

Should be tomorrow - but as long as it's before next weekend i don't care.

Did you check the map for your cruise? Long term forecast says it may be wet next weekend, but the bbq spot that we checked is undercover - I will phone tomorrow to see if we can book that spot.

    • I don't care for these at all, but at least the underside looks straight and not rusty. A good basis for a long life. Many cars from Japan have been lifted with forklifts and f**ked almost irrepairably.
    • Yes, but it's not dumb or dodgy. You can build a perfectly good boost controller from a pressure reg, a relief valve (looks same same as a reg if all from Norgren or SMC, for example) and a check valve. I ran one for years. Only superceded with  EBC because I could get one for cheaps and wanted finer control.   THis mod is certainly not a sketchy boost mod, provided the boost is kept below the "spin to death" threshold of the turbos.
    • With ordering the belt, you're doing water pump and the idler and tensioner at the same time too yes?
    • This is just a dumb way of keeping the wastegate closed to make more boost. Undo it and either follow the factory setup or redo it properly. Manual boost controllers just use a spring preload to determine when to close in response to boost pressure so it no longer vents to atmosphere.
    • So for the wide band is a Bosch 4.9 correct for the Link G4+ along with a Can bus? Just get the Link gear or is generic ok too? Eg here: LINK LINK DIGITAL WIDEBAND CAN MODULE WITH BOSCH 4.9 SENSOR : KYP Performance House
