Johann... have you built or worked with any of the P80 chassis AWD cars?

Yes.  

 Viva makes a single mass for use with the pre 06 s60r clutch.  

I have a Viva single mass flywheel... in conjunction with a new S60R pressure plate and clutch disc.  So with the TCU pulled... it can still be somewhat driven?  This is interesting and good to know.  I will likely do the same to get the car home from my buddies shop.

I haven't had television service for over 5 years.

Congrats!  Are you driving on the stock tune?  Also, which single mass did you use?  I bought one last year and have been sitting on it.  It's going in this swap!

Yes.  This is the 4th summer I've had in Texas... and this one is no joke!  I have a buddy who is letting me use his shop... but damn it's warm and humid out.

You're motivating me though, and I will get started on it soon!

Hot damn you're making quick work of this.  I was suppose to start pulling my motor tonight, but... meh... le lazy.  Will start tomorrow.

Great pictures.  I wish I had a liiiiiift.

That setup looks really good with the Enkei

Also: I'm interested to see your impressions.  What does your car weigh in comparison to an S60R?

Interested to see the M56 clutch line bends.  I'll be making the same venture soon.

This is awesome!  Grats on the 6 speed swap.  I started a turbo swap last weekend, and have decided it's just time to do the manual as well.  What are you doing for tuning?

Please take back apart for the pictures please.  

I like that you left the sticker.  Very subtle and cool.

Oh, whew... I was worried this thread was dead.  

Trump is a dick

Was at the beach this past 4th.  Soooooooo many rebel flags.  lol

Look what I bought today!!

I'm actually looking forward to the robot wars.  

Having moved to the south, it's definitely apart of the culture here still.  The N word is still thrown around more then you would think, and it has been tough to get used to.

What I don't like is that there is this idea that we have "beat racism" and this flag is just a lingering thing from that time.

Live in the present.  It's a present problem, just like it was long ago.  You can remove every flag that has any history to do with it... and someone will just symbolize it another way.  Further demonizing it also gives it more power.  So when I see swastikas etched into the old gym walls at my school... I wonder if we just made that symbol have more of an impact by making it more rarely used.

Likewise, we should fucking use the word fuck more often.  It takes the sting and severity out of it... plus it is fucking fun to say.  FUCK!

Why is it that our presidential elections are not a competition between extremely intellectual people, but rather a bunch of douchebags?

Just tearing them up, eh?

Heard that Raxles isn't doing volvo axles anymore.  

"Somewhat tired"  ?  lol   Those seats looked done!

Very impressed with the result.  Was not expecting it to recover anywhere near that level!  Looking forward to a whole interior shot.  

H... we don't believe you.  We need videos of this!!  

EDIT:  Tried to trim this quote as I also agree with this statement, but damn UI takes me back a page when I try to delete it.  So, I'm just quoting the whole fucking lot.  Fuck it.  lol

Are you sending your drive shaft to them for rebuild?  Or do they have them on the shelf?  

I need a later drive shaft as well.
