you don't have to be from texas to notice it...hell this kid notices http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J3aT_r-LHI8 :lol:

Then why in the hell do all the parts on the P2 S40's all read FOMOCO...ford motor company...u can't believe that its all volvo r&d parts and then rebadged to ford. ford is all about cutting corners and saving costs. volvo may have developed safety features but i bet u ford found a way to make it cheaper and crapier. Now does any have any real information on Volvo's new owners? Why has this even gone on for 8 pages?

we already have a set of hyperblack mesh enkei 18"'s custom bored for both our cars on the way. that would be my little brother aka: shop monkey. he reaches into all the places our fatasses can't, or my lazy jerk dosen't want to best little brother u can ask for tho. he's prolly put down more wrench time on my car then i have.

nope aaron is as white as white can be...he actually held a 5 minute good ol' boy ad-lib, funniest stuff ever. nope sorry guys im the only crazy asian guy in the crew. although aaron does have a way with the asian ladies and as you can see by his car, jdm is in his blood. pras...pras and me are just having strings of bad luck (curse of the red cars) the starter issue was fixed promptly (crossed wires), but a new issue presented itself. no spark from the distributor coil, it powers up but no signal to fire. they even canabalized my runied car for my MSD and same issue. 3 crank angle sensors replaced, 3 ecu's swapped, relays changed, 2 harnesses swapped, clutch and fly wheel positioned the same way it came off the car and i think pras disabled his remote start alarm. basically everythiing aaron, pras and any other tech we could get a hold of that had an idea they tried and then tried again and one more time for good measure. nobody has any ideas left to what this could be and pras and aaron are at the end of their ropes. today's monday and it should be easier to get a hold of more techs so maybe they'll have new ideas. as for pras he's running out time and i know he's stressing bad.

well i guess i get first dibs on the motor we took out of pras's wagon... i threw another rod today picking up parts to get pras' car running and it just so happened the biggest storm of the last 2 months hit today and i was stuck out in the freaking flood plain, truck ran me off the road into a high side of water and bam it was over, took on water and motor tried to compress it. so for that fiasco i single handly delayed the stuff out of getting pras' car running. but everything is back in the car, the only problem was everything finally hit me and i couldn't hang around anymore after the first few failed attempts at getting the starter to turn over. hopefully we'll know more about the diagnosis tomarrow.

ok greg's pic obviously not the dowel pin for the block, but same idea...what is that pic btw? yea, dowel pins center the block, and no the porsche builder guy didn't know he needed them to center the headgasket. cuz obviously porsche's are too cool for such unrefined methods of headgasket installation therefore he assumed his porsche-fu would be stronger then whiteblock chi o and i would like to formally apologize to pras and reid for keeping them up last night...i know i sound like a f-16 doing mach 5 smashing into a locomotive when i sleep, but they don't call me little nicky for nothing pras has to put up with me for atleast one more night too maybe we'll just go get stinking drunk and he'll pass out and not know the difference.

well now it depends...if the builder was that much of a yutz putting this thing together, can we assume that the engine work he did is of top notch quality? thats where the worry lies now, will it stand up to its test and do what its supposed to do?

yea thats pretty suck. a $5 part caused a trip half way across the country and then to place full trust in a guy he's never met. i can't imagine having to go thru that, luckily for me, aaron lives here haha. yea, dowel pins are 2 little tabs that let you center the head gasket, pras' engine builder neglected this fact, most likely cuz he's a porsche builder and porsche's don't use dowel pins, so they we're trying to bolt the head on angled with the headgasket off cenetered.

bwhahahahaha i saw the camera before i left, i thought i should of grabbed it, but i figured u'd be back. awe-inspiring see both wagons together. lol and aaron, stop saying im pressuring you...im kindly reminding you that theres a big euro car meet this friday, and it'd be awesome to rub volvo hotness in their VW/Audi faces.

pfffffttttt its waiting at the shop with a pretty bow on top pras. he called me last night cuz he couldnt' get a hold of you and he needed to tell someone. o and aaron's car is running or was cuz in his haste he overlooked the cooling fan which never came on in out debut start. he drove the beast around for a 30 some odd miles and about an hr or so and she ran fine...that was until he found a nice layer of oil in the resovoir. he should be resolving that today..it may be because he skimpped out on replacing the radiator or the HG really did give out this time. but in any case he's in a much cheerier mood then he was last wednesday when he thought he crapped something.

already confirmed, the beast gets its heart ASAP (as soon as pras) gets his butt down here. aaron the new super guru ftw...hehe told u u'd knock that mess out. so....i guess what i really mean to say is OOooOOOOOOOooooo MY TURN!! MY TURN!!!! i can't let everyone else have all the fun. so...houston meet...bwhahahahaha we win again DFW ftl!! lol j/k

shut it juan....:P

weak weaker n weakest weaksauce...do we atleast get the diesel now? they gotta give us something... there no way volvo could create a sub brand...its already mid-upper echlon bracketed...without going in and producing supercars theres no way they could get away with doing that. its already a luxo brand...and in the class of lexus, infinity, bmw n merc... now if they pulled a toyota n produced a kiddy car division like the scion, i'd say they'd prolly be on to something.

lol VS has VD... let the whoring begin

haha learning gregs flame format? 6 sake bombs a fish bowl of god knows what buncha sake shots hot freakin biatches dressed like sluts...wait does walking around in a bra and a thong at starbucks make a girl a slut? who cares tonite was the shiznitz every night should b halloween just so girls can walk around like that. where's a camera when u need one?

Darn it 56k ftl...i wanna see video...its ok DSL comes active tomarrow

i could of swore this was the state fiar meet.... lol sean why am i getting 10 psi with a drop to 8?!?!?!?!?!?!

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh looks like i have to bail out on this one too guys...did a oil change yesterday and apparently i had a sticky valve and only about 3 qts. that came out....the entire undercarraige is coated in oil so im stuck doing detective looking for the problem. plus without juan going up i just don't trust the T5 enough to make it up there.

^thats what im talking about drew...lol cuz whatever he rigs up, prolly won't let anyone, who accidently is in the way, well enough to drive anymore hahaha

i say fireworks war with artillery shells, roman candles and those awesome little mini guns that fire like 20 roman candle style shots at once. oOOoOOOOOooOO and i call anyones car who loses an arm with the fireworkds...since they can't drive without hands or arms anyways lol. :D
