Rod'sT-5

I live in Fl. That all that's been in the news lately. I have belonged to the NRA in the past, may sign up again. I own an AR-15, and 2 hand guns. Others were stolen when broken into 2 yrs ago. I have a concealed carry permit, and I do carry. I have no problem with raising the age limit, and raising the waiting time. But that will not make any difference in school shootings. The kid in south Fl had the gun long before hand. It was even locked up in a gun safe. My son is a teacher. He has a carry permit, and owns guns like mine. I would have no problem with him carrying at school. Everyone seems to think they will make all teachers carry. That's wrong. Only a select few that want to, and are qualified to. Law enforcement will never be there when the shooter is active, they will be the first to tell you that. It is my responsibility to protect my family and myself. The only way to stop a bad guy with a gun, is with a good guy with a gun.

Amazing!

I think everyone has their own definition of right and wrong. You can see that in all the responses so far. It can be based on many things. Some are based in their own experiences, things they've read or heard or seen. That foundation reflects in how you view the world. I believe that the Bible was written by God for all of us. My views, that I mentioned earlier, come from that viewpoint. As mentioned in that video, homosexuality is no worse that drunkenness, lying, murder, etc. They are all sin. Have you noticed that everyone seems to have a inner sense of right and wrong. Where did that come from? For those that believe in the "Big Bang", maybe a piece of cosmic dust got mixed into the first cell. How can a few inert particles lead to a moral compass? I believe that God put it in us when we were created. Makes sense, since my views are based on my understanding of the Bible. I can't force my views on anyone, nor should I. Not my kids, or friends. Everyone has to decide for themselves, what they believe, and why. But I like that we can talk about it.

I think the reason it seems blurry to you, is that some of your basic assumptions are wrong. You have bought into the idea that "Some are born gay", as everyone is taught in public schools today. I went thru public schools many years ago, it wasn't taught then, I wonder what changed in 20 years? I believe that being gay is a choice that you make, the same with transgenders. I dont believe that you are an alcoholic because you have a disease, but because you choose to drink. I have friends that have a tendency towards addictive behaviors, but it is still their choice to abuse drugs or alcohol. Moral absolutes have been thrown out the window, so everyone can feel ok with what they choose to do.

Wow! I need to check my 18 yr old intercooler to see if all that oil wore it out. Maybe we should let Volvo know about this.

Leave the title as it is now!! Love it. Love the car too

H, I am very impressed with what you've done with your car!! The attention to detail, and workmanship are second to none. You will get it figured out.

I have the stock maps on #1, 5% added to map #2. 10% and timing lowered on map #4. My problem recently is that I'm not hitting requested load anymore. TCV running at max duty cycle. 3 months ago it was regulating fine.

Good catch! Would have been a lot of work to pull that back out when it failed, plus it could cause lots of vibration that would be hard to locate

Hussein, are you using the different maps in the .BIN for your 3 levels of tune? Or reflashing between runs? Rod

Wow, I left volvo 13 years ago, I dont remember the bearings having no tabs. And, of course, havent had to change mine yet. Is it just the Glyco bearings, or all brands? Even NitroX5's pic shows the slots Sorry!

Easiest way to tell if the bearing spun is by looking at the locating tabs on the back of the bearing. Smashed flat (not protruding) means it spun at least 1 time. Protruding tab means it did not spin. Rod

Paint looks sharp! Thats a bright green. What are your plans for it? Rod

Central Fl is a good place to meet Rod

Thats great H! I knew you would get it figured out. Rod
