Guys, I'm sorry to report but it seems like Jim (faulty, volvoguy500, etc.) is leaving the volvo game. He's buying a 300hp Talon Tsi for $7,500. So long and farewell my friend!

Just saw this thread...how the...

Anyhow - unless someone wants to pay me $1100 for the 740 (no one could possibly be THAT stupid) - I'm keeping it...prob. will be Ben's second source of income with all the shit that needs to be done to it; but whatever.

Talon = 350hp to start with...it's got a decent sized turbo, so its not like it can't be retuned for more power.

EDIT:
The DSM guys already know me...I've know several guys since middle school. ^_^

Wait, you still got that 850 sub frame I wanted right? I'm on the road be back this coming weekend. Dont you get rid of that thing on me.

Too bad I was hoping you'd pick up my 740 and get rear wheel drive heaven...
"Property is the fruit of labor...property is desirable...is a positive good in the world. That some should be rich shows that others may become rich, and hence is just encouragement to industry and enterprise. Let not him who is houseless pull down the house of another; but let him labor diligently and build one for himself, thus by example assuring that his own shall be safe from violence when built." - Abe Lincoln
