  1. i like those wheels. looks like some far cousin of the good ole' comets
  2. dam, i just have dog shavers and i use #4. buzz cut and im good for a month or so. i have thick wavy hair so when i sleep my pillow styles my hair for me!
  3. so apparently thread size on the drain plug are the same for oil and tranny = M18-1.5mm once i get my boost settled ill take out my wideband sensor and throw in an egt sensor, then ill install oil pressure, then tranny temp sensor and ill be set. i was planning on getting a triple pod and puttin it in the top middle section of my dash, above the middle air vents
  4. im looking to add a trany temp sensor and i couldnt find what thread size the auto trannies drain plug type is? (99 auto s70 glt) sender unit on ebay has 1/8, 1/4, 3/8, 1/2" npt fittings and i was wondering which is the correct size?
  5. i dont blame you. i get that feeling alot. tho im about to build(once i get off my lazy arse) a kitty playpen/apartment/condo or whatever they are called. helped my brother in law build a fence and we have alot of wood leftover (where i got the fence post idea). so kitty get what kitty wants. its gonna be ~5feet high. itll prob look like poop but kitty will enjoy
  6. lol, upstairs ive got my car magazines and somehow downstairs ive got mah mens magazines home depot, get a flat fence post(or some of that wood they use to make sub boxes out of, hell i bet if you went to a custom audio shop theyd give you the wood for free[or anyplace else that deals with wood that i cant think of at this moment]), cut to size then use sand paper around the edges for desired effect of course youll have to stain it when your done (ive never bought the stuff so i dunno if it makes this a worthwhile cost thing to do)
  7. evolution of my magazine buying ( i dont throw any of them away)
  8. i just loved the fake out ( i totally thought he was gonna say volvo against the bmw, and i saw that first and posted before i went further on in the video) and just love is an expression not meaning that i only liked one part
  9. people who think their job title makes them better than others are huge tools and heres a hint: some job sites do this on purpose so they can find out the emotional intelligence of a person, so id watch your back youd fail really fast. other places will get people to befriend you then see what type of a person you really are and report back to the hr person. these companies arnt going to spend thousands hiring someone who really doesnt have the heart. intelligent people are dime a dozen but those who are emotionally smart are the ones who jobs are really looking for emotional intelligence > intellectual intelligence ---------------------------------- clarkson being funny (skip to 3.26 for the moment i laughed)
  10. theres conversion/body kits, few of them look nice https://www.google.com/search?q=trans+am+conversion&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&um=1&ie=UTF-8&hl=en&tbm=isch&source=og&sa=N&tab=wi&ei=pCf3T7SINZKW8gT-xNjNBg&biw=1218&bih=705&sei=qif3T_z-A4Le9ASl4uDuBg
  11. any idea how close s70 bumper is compared to this? or if i still had my 850 i wonder how this would work for the rear? and mayb this http://www.ebay.com/itm/HONDA-ACCORD-CROSSTOUR-10-11-12-REAR-BUMPER-AIR-DIFFUSER-LIP-OEM-FREE-SHIPPING-/221041649296?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&fits=Model%3AAccord+Crosstour&hash=item33771be690&vxp=mtr
  12. someone buy something that im selling . im dying to purchase this rear window spoiler and seeing if it will fit. ive been talking with alot of ebay sellers and this one is the closest that i thin will fit. s70 rear window is 44" from side to side and this spoiler is 46" from side to side, but from the looks of it theres plenty of the edge that i can shave off. http://www.ebay.com/itm/200711781978?item=200711781978&viewitem=&sspagename=ADME:X:RTQ:MOTORS:1123&vxp=mtr
  13. thanks, ima email them and ask for a rma. im talking with some woman on the phone and she says that you cant check the pressure with a hand pump, that you need to test it while its on the turbo?
  14. wtf, took off my old wastegate which was really loose. put on new atp wastegate that opens at 10psi and now im holding 10psi steady and sometimes if i try to build boost it quickly goes it goes up and down between 5-8. if the car downshifts itll hit 15 but fall to 10 . is the new wastegate to strong for my 15psi tune? you can hear the turbo spool up fast then die. soooo frusturated. someone tell me something new im open to anything except getting a new car travis said the trans fluid could be too slick? is that a possibility? its not able to load correctly when i hook up my pump with the pressure gauge the gate opens at 10 but its really really hard to pump it up to 15. im thinking its just too strong for my tune? help me out i love learning something new! and ive pressure tested everything to no avail was there a leak much to my dismay 99 s70 glt, tdo4hl15g, est catback, custom 3" downpipe, olivers dyno tuned 15psi tune, blanking plate with hks whatever its called bov, fresh vacuum lines all around
  15. s70 rear window ~45" width i wonder if these are any close to the same size http://www.ebay.com/itm/Smoke-Rear-Window-Visor-Spoiler-Sun-Guard-Civic-4-Door-Sedan-01-02-03-04-05-/251040452108?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item3a732d4e0c&vxp=mtr http://www.ebay.com/itm/Rear-Window-Visor-Spoiler-Wing-Toyota-Camry-02-03-04-05-06-XV30-SE-V6-LX-XLE-/200711781978?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item2ebb5abe5a&vxp=mtr so be it if its shitty plastic, that means i can heat it with a blower and make if mold to fit im also looking at rear diffusers, ive always wanted to put one on the rear bumper of the s70. that recessed part on the bottom of the rear bumper is 29" long and im thinking of just going to home depot and getting some thing gauge steel sheets or whatever and whip up something and see what it looks like
  16. dunno if you said it was only on the 93 850s but trunks850r has a newer 850 with blue interior. i wanna say its a t5
  17. what does the lunchbox mean? or the sheep :sheep:
  18. when are you painting it white and throwing it in the ring with another engine?
  19. shoot i bought them once and they never went out on me many ages ago. some reason 1156 is the four digit number that comes to mind?
  20. catwire 10.0. got it overnighted from japan
  21. ive always wanted to finish this off now i need to put everything in one portable box and throw it in the garage, its wayyyy to loud in mah room
  22. weird, i ordered some clampo t bolt clamps and they came in a small cardboard box as well, odd they didnt use a bubble wrap envelope. that way they can charge more. (cheap bastards!!!!!!)
