  1. Well this is what I was hoping as they have a template to copy based on the same platform. Mazda 3 ---- Volvo C30 v1 & v2 MazdaSpeed 3 ---- Volvo C30R Keep the cost down and match the performance capabilities of the MazdaSpeed 3. Then copy the same for the S40 ---- S40R Bring new life into Volvo brand.
  2. Very Very Lame. The current Version 2.0 with any decent amount of options and your over 30k for a vehicle that is basically all looks. This is in the price range of a 08 STI or save more cash and go MazdaSpeed 3 of which both run circles around the C30. Give me a break!!!

    Dam Pras I am so sorry this crap happened to you. Thank you for posting what has occured as this is how everyone learns who not to use in the future and that has been noted!!! I hope you are able to get everything sorted one way or another. Good luck, Mitch
  5. Wow, It will be interesting to see the outcome. Especially since I have stocks in both that are not doing jack.
  6. Wow Greg, You have done a fantastic job. Congrats!!!
  7. But what if you just take the stock filter out and toss in the Weapon R filter. I believe the motion of the new filter bouncing around in the airbox while your driving will create optimum airflow patterns for a minimum 26.5hp increase :lol:
  8. Payment sent via Paypal.... Carter, Email Greg at QBM per the instructions on the first post. He will email you the info on payment options.
  9. Will send payment out this week. Stock endlinks are flimsy at best. I replaced them with IPD's HD and they still flex alot more than I feel is necessary especially after installing larger swaybars. QBM's endlinks are the only solution for optimum handling.
  10. "Variable area turbine nozzle. The VATN is a whole new deal. The vane of the VATN pivot to present varying areas to the discharge stream, changing the exhaust gas velocity as it enters the turbine, permitting the speed of the turbine to vary. The merit of the VATN lies in several areas: it acts like a small A/R when asked to do so, a large A/R when required, and it produces a smooth transition through all points between the two extremes. The VATN can create such a huge A/R that turbine speed over the entire range of operation can be controlled by varying the A/R alone. Thus the VATN becomes its own boost control, and no wastegate is required. When no wastegate is present, all exhaust gas energy is available to power the compressor, and "waste" becomes a thing of the past. Turbine performance can take on whole new dimensions. Since turbine speed is always controlled by the VATNs, the A/R ratio is always the largest possible for the boost pressure at that instant. If the A/R ratio is always the largest possible for the boost pressure at that instant. Ff the A/R ratio were smaller, turbine speed would rise, creating more boost, which would raise turbine speed, which would raise boost again. This situation will always keep exhaust gas back pressure at its lowest for any given boost pressure. This creates the wonderful condition of the exhaust back pressure being less than the boost pressure. When this "crossover" occurs, power production takes on new dimensions. This condition is not generally feasible with conventional turbos without the turbine's being so large that it becomes unresponsive at low speeds." by Corky Bell from his book, Maximum Boost
  11. Here ya go Carson. Vid of BCC parking lot from a couple years back. We were asked not to return after this. BCC Hooligan invasion You guys have fun. Will have to miss this meetup. Doing the soccer dad agenda.
  12. CJ, there are many of us that do the "happy dance" every time we see a new product from you. We appreciate all that you have done and look foward to all the new products in the future!!!! You get a HUGE "THANK YOU"!!!!
  13. Also good to see that they have installation and tuning available now for the items they sell.
  14. Great point, Inflation on the raw material alone is skyrocketing, let alone shipping and advertising. It is very nice to see more and more companies and individuals (a direct "BIG" thank you to "YOU" making new items and offering packages.
  15. Interesting, when they were doing initial testing they were certain they were going to be between 320 and 340 whp. So you have stage 3 for $3k which is dp, 18t and (ecu tuned for the setup). There rig also has (all the stage 3 optional equipment) IC $1200, cat back exh $700 Auqamist $900 reverse piping kit $200-300 R-manifold $400 That's an additional $3500 for a total of $6500 before they hit the dyno. Also why are they promoting a narrow band AF???
  16. whoooo, what car..... How did the pro street Chevelle do?
  17. Is it a cash only deal or plastic can be used
  18. If you decide on splitting up the front and rears I will take the rear set.
  19. Glad to meet a bunch of you. Playing the Volvo soccer dad in true form I had to bail from Northgate while more were showing up. Didn't get back to Magi untill most were rolling out.
  20. I am interested. Would like to see a pic of one installed on a black 850. Here is the link to EST's piece. They have it shown on a yellow 850 EST Carbon Fiber Rear Truck Panel - Sedan
  21. Oh crap...you guys are going to be great role models for my kid :lol:
  22. Looks like I will be there for the initial meet up then off to take my son to his 1pm Soccer game. May be able to hook back up for the drive.
  23. Arrg. Looks like I may be in McMinville OR. racing on the 9th and 10th (weather pending). Hope it's raining in OR then noooo racing.
