  1. search on google just for this site... 850 trailer harness site:volvospeed.com
  2. nice - only powering 4 speakers though?
  3. still lambo hunt... i want to hear how that ends for the lambo owner haha awesome to hear about the bne/jrz set up! i love how mine looks at this ride height but do understand how screwed up the geometry is
  4. Matt what is your rear suspension set up? Do you have the BNE rear perches/springs? And what shocks? What do you think of the fronts? Get any more miles on them since you last posted?!?!
  5. Looking good! Who makes the blue springs? I am now even more confused about the springs rates etc. - Yes you are AWD and I am FWD 855 but still... 700lb/in spring is about 12,000kg/mm I am not saying they are right or that their cheapo springs are actually the rates they say they are either but the BC Racing Kit which I am vetting for my car comes with 4,000kg/mm rears lol Those 700lb/in springs you've got shouldn't move at all then, right? Thats 3X the rate that comes on the BC Kit that is becoming so popular... Am I missing something?
  6. Oh boy! Cant wait! Is Maciek's 850/truck conversion still around?
  7. Ah ok - I only commented because you mentioned v3's... bens jrz are actually cheaper than v3's because those sexy camber plates are included! I like the idea of having the strut mounts fit to our complex strut towers... yes i know the front strut towers are the most reinforced part of the car... matt whats the ultimate goal here, will you be tracking this more?
  8. Andy what spring rates are you running on your coilovers? I have been reading about the BC racing sets... with swift springs... but unsure about all the rear spring rate options. edit: I should say... the 5k front and 4k rear is how they come... from what little i know, that seems pretty soft
  9. pa plate convo add on... was reading around on the subject today mainly because of an emissions exemption conversation i had with a friend... classic is 15 years - annual inspection required, emissions exempt antique is 25 years - annual inspection and emissions exempt both are 'occasional use no more than one day a week' lol. I then read that folks in Virginia have gotten fucked over on this before (we all know virginia likes to ticket) i read a few places (nothing official because like you said there are grey areas galore) antiques are limited to 250 mile trips and cannot drive at night - what? none of these things matter because I dont do anything with my car but you actually use/drive yours haha classic plates fit my future interests... less limitations and no emissions tests
  10. bigger shops! thats awesome! glad yours is back in order too
  11. yikes - so all good now though? New injectors cured it and car is fine? i wish i was closer to those guys Tom/Nick and Ben... I'd have them finish all the stuff I haven't done in years.
  12. i dont like cake or eating ass i like pizza i like pringles too
  13. cool^ Yeah if anything mine looks less stock than yours... but we both know they are NOT the same LOL
  14. love the plate! i forget if i had this convo with you or someone else but you werent worried about the antique plate stipulations? Or maybe thats for 'classic' - ya have to keep the car relatively stock and in your case thats the funniest thing i could ever think of lol
  15. I have - only seen them in the 20 packs locally so far and the other 19 cars in the pack are the least interesting hot wheels ive ever seen ill keep my eyes peeled and thank you for thinking of me! Ill get on it fo sho
  16. i am tempted to pay someone to do these - i have the tool too new in box lol i just dont want to do it haha i hope you have a good build season - sorry you are going thru all that shit
  17. been considering the same for mine just a much more toned down set up than yours lol
  18. I voted today 10am-ish. After hearing about long lines etc etc I was back home in 15mins 5 to get there, 5 to walk up and them be confused by my last name lol fill in some dots with a pen that they then quickly took from me and torched lol because germs (They really did snatch the pen and put it on a table and sprayed it) , 5 to get home i did it! yay!
  19. sorry about the trans nice japanifold - did you port it out or? (what manifold do you have on yours now?)
