Lots more changes happened this past month.

I installed a clutch slipper which will allow me to dial in the launches and basically just hit the 2 step and then side step the clutch pedal. 99+ P80 clutch master cylinder which has a position sensor that I will use to control flat foot shift.

I added a flex fuel sensor and at the same time thought it would be a good idea to redo the fuel lines in black and switch from rubber to PTFE.

I also converted everything over to black silicone and all vac lines to -3AN and -4AN.

Lastly I built a new intake to practice my aluminum welding and make the bay a bit more presentable. It also fixed a bunch of rubbing issues with the intake.

Lastly I threw it on the dyno to clean up the tune a bit. It made some serious power @ 30 psi. 818awhp/595awtq.

 

hope you're doing well dude, I haven't seen you post in quite a while

2024 is going to be a very fucked year

Two old as fuck dudes wanting to be president

Isn't there anyone else?

so are you calling for war?

no, Russia is

no one wants war, the dance continues

The 2 captured Americans will not be given protections covered under the Geneva Convention while held by Russia

If that isn't a declaration of war I don't know what is

The Cryptocurrency market shrank by 50% the day this conflict started.

Simple transactions on the blockchain are much more expensive now. Many markets have just collapsed like the GPU market for one.

Personally I feel for the Russian people, they have a poor leader who is trying to destroy their country. Hopefully whoever the Oligarchs choose to replace Putin won't hate the West more than Putin does lmao

Look like we found another field to come in last: pandemic disease control

@Yellow95 if Trump is bringing back so much money in taxes why has the deficit increased several hundred billion from 2019 to 2020? In fact, the deficit that Trump famously promised he could eradicate in 8 years has increased 50% from 2017 to 2019. It seems the tax cuts are not helping the economy.

😂 Biden isn’t done. Not even close

He better be, time go get out of the way of more progressive candidates that don't say that poor brown kids could be as good as white kids.


Interesting to see the trade war play out as the HK riots continue. Here's to not having Tienanmen square 2.0 🍻

pure photo op, the thumbs up was a mega dick move IMO. Just not surprised anymore with this shit

looks like Biden is done, thank god.

Still can't believe there wasn't more outrage of Trump pulling that baby out of a hospital for a photo op. Unbelievable 

you gonna shave yet? 


congratulations dude, you now (probably) have the most powerful P80 in America

With how available things are and how sweet your car is, I'd be inclined to push you to fix it. If you don't; what would you replace it with?

That said though... if you end up parting it out, lemme know about those coilovers, K?

 

I'm considering a mid 00's XC70 for a daily


At this point, I've spent well over 10 grand on this car. This is the 3rd engine and frankly I've run out of steam on this car, I just think I'm done. I'd love to sell it whole to someone but I think parting it out would net me the most money. That being said, you should get the coilovers :lol: 

hey guys been a while since I've actually posted


I'm at a crossroads with my 850 and I'm looking for advice: the long and short of it is that my current engine is on the way out, it needs piston rings and burns a good amount of oil. That being said, I've probably spent a bit too much on parts over the years on this thing and IDK if I should replace the engine or just part it out. It's manual swapped with a turbo flywheel/euro R clutch, 97R motor, DO88 big intercooler and radiator, 20T turbo and a bunch of other fun bits. What say you all: part it out, sell whole to a new buyer, or source a new engine and swap it?

bump since the car is now for sale, sad to see you're ready to move on from this beast

Bernie's back, can't wait for the debates

to be fair, our current president was born with a silver spoon in his mouth and accepted a "small loan of $1,000,000" from his father. That ain't hard work broski

Another $169 BILLION repatriated in the 2nd quarter.  Now $464 BILLION in the first half of 2018 alone!

this represents 25% of overseas cash that our companies have had sitting idle during the Obama years.
Companies FINALLY paying tax on that cash because rates are low enough.
Finally makes sense to bring it home, and put it to work...invested in American ventures.

Trump waving his "magic wand". Jobs coming back.
Every policy of Barack's is getting unwound, and massive prosperity and investment is the result.
Socialism is being repudiated by actual RESULTS every single day.

Media tells us that Americans hate record high GDP, record high Tax collections, record high wages, and record high measured optimism.
Media tells us that Americans hate record low unemployment for minorities, youth, and those without a high school diploma.
Media tells us that America is about to vote in a massive BLUE WAVE to RESIST all this prosperity.

EVERY SINGLE DEM IN CONGRESS voted against the tax rate cuts.
Let that sink in.

nice copy pasta there old man ;)

interesting that jobs are coming back yet pay is stagnant. Maybe ask Ford and GM why they're laying off 10's of thousands of workers even though they had massive tax cuts?

sounds like I need to make a visit to see the beast

another government shutdown is looming on the horizon, sweet

rich are just getting richer

Keep America Dumb

looking forward to moving to Sweden in a few years, our global reputation is trash
