My statement concerning Mike's son and the car was more to caution that the potential for building the BMW out to an M3 presupposes that it survives the initial foray into driving for an inexperienced young man. My Dad gave me a 1974 Volvo 145 for a reason: it's a tank and it's slow. As he said, driving that car I'm not really worried about what happens to you if you do get in an accident, I'm more worried about what you do to someone else. Since this is the Chicken Shack, this post is useless without a fine car: And it's probably why I still have a thing for Emerald/Olive green Volvos.

We have a skate spot again!!! 2 years ago our local skatepark went out of business, and while I did get a fantastic spine ramp in my backyard out of it, it left us hanging for a winter spot. FINALLY, problem solved!! Much building still needs done, but we have a skate spot that's in a heated building again This will all eventually get bowled in. Super fun to ride. Our own private piece of skate heaven!!

Close, but no cigar!

What my parents made me learn to drive in (Weissach 911 SC). Rear engine, manual, no traction control and no abs. The logic of, if you can handle this you will be fine.

REMEMBER.... ANY TAMPERING WITH FACTORY EMISSIONS SYSTEMS IS A VIOLATION OF FEDERAL AND STATE LAWS. PERFORM THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK There have been couple of threads lately http://volvospeed.com/vs_forum/index.php/topic/132158-sas-delete/page__hl__sas+delete and http://volvospeed.com/vs_forum/index.php/topic/139442-another-sas-delete-using-luckys-idea/ that have discussed ways to delete the SAS (air pump). I suggest you read them for background. This will be strictly a write up of 2 ways to accomplish this. This has been a joint effort with Volvospeed members IPD-Lucky and Flaco both contributing to this mod and obviously they both deserve a lot of the credit. It appears that a diode (Radio Shack #1N4003) connected between pins A32 and A37 of the ECU will cause the ECU to "think" that the airpump system is fully operational. The only parts of the airpump system you need to LEAVE installed are the airpump relay and the solenoid valve. They both need to have there connectors connected. Everything else can be removed. Here is a picture of the scematic showing what we are doing, notice the direction of the diode, that is important.... The mod can been done one of two ways. Either inside the ECU or in the harness directly below the ECU. To do the wiring IN THE HARNESS UNDER THE ECU, first you need to prepare the diode (radio shack #1N4003). I soldered it to a short section of wire.... Then attach a section of heat shrink to protect it and mark the direction that the current flows.... .... Then remove the ECU and the plastic housing.... Then you can access the harness and install the diode between A32 (GN-SB wire) and A37 (BL-P wire). DO NOT cut either of the wires. You can install the diode with a Scotch-Lock or the way I did it was to just slice away some of the insulation from the wire and solder the diode to it. Then I taped up the soldered connection. Just make sure the diode is pointing in the right direction.... Put it back together and that's it. I like doing it this way so the mod stays with the car, even if you swap ECU's. I would get a little nervous opening up a stage 3 IPD ECU that I just bought, to do it inside. Wouldn't want to chance screwing that up! To do the wiring INSIDE THE ECU, first remove the ECU and open it up. Bend the 4 little tabs up. Then swing the hold down lever around and out of the way. You may need to pry it up slightly to do this.... Once you're inside it's very simple, just find A32 and A37 and solder the diode in place. Again make sure the diode is pointing in the right direction.... Secure the cover and re-install the ECU in the car. That's it! I have one car with the wiring done under the ECU and one car with it done inside the ECU. They have only been done for a short time so I guess we'll say it's experimental at this point. The mod in this thread http://volvospeed.com/vs_forum/index.php/topic/139442-another-sas-delete-using-luckys-idea/ was on my car for well over a month with no CEL. So it can also be done that way.

So gay that he can't even drive straight.

What's a condom?

Some funny conclusions can be drawn from this very flawed study done by Condomania that resulted in their ranking of dick size based on volume of various condom sizes: http://newsfeed.time.com/2013/12/03/which-state-is-the-biggest/ It's official, some of the biggest dicks live in Massachusetts and DC But apparently in New Orleans they're only dicks like a mid-sized Ford Ranger And apparently there are no dicks in Georgia...

ditto, although I would prefer the 840 over the 850
