  1. If we do this can we say bad words and curses? I have so many things to say that are not allowed
  2. Drinking many beers and ales

  3. At least Volvo North America now has a good race team The evil or bad people or criminals in the end they cannot stop the good people, the people who are not criminals
  4. I recommend you get massive drunk and then you might have a remember of why you fought against the house. If that does not work just get massive drunk
  5. Canada has great marijuana. Just something to consider
  6. I bet that car never runs again if it still at ATspeed
  7. Thanks Johann- That is pretty close to what I am doing. Really like it with sideskirts but stock rear bumper. Seems lower than what I will be though but it is sweet
  8. Well I guess the future is the hands of who bought them. I do not know who it was. The only pictures of these cars I seen since they raced is one of the cars photoshop to another color from an old picture of when they were on sale before. Sad really sad and it would be great to see someone race them but probably just some enthusiast will track them
  9. Are the cars for sale, or are they sold already...Last thing I heard was they are under development and would be back in Speed Challenge next year
  10. I am drunk massive The point is rock to Metal, Goatwhore, GWAR
  11. Charles- I totally agree and so we need to see what you can do with the Dartons :tup:
  12. Charles for the win. The race car is light as a feather and there a rules that keep it around 450-500 anyway. A little bird told me they are using the stock cylinders at least with the Cosworth perhaps also the Mahle. Keep in mind they do something like 25 laps and they run on the very edge of rich and so every once in a while fire comes out. Sometimes they get fire spitting out of the side many times per lap. It is not lean like a guy with a bad tune plus then also NOS (not good idea at all for these OIO cylinders Do I want sleeves like Charles yes, do I have them no
  13. Very good, better than "just like it" Add some yellow for the blue and yellow look I would say also Thank you for all of the people who do these things
  14. massive drunk. Had a bunch of gin Now I am going for some mowee wowee real quick B)
  15. I am drinking a lot of tequila right now but the main thing I would say is where is the motor?
  16. Great pictures. It is great to see Bobs car and Pauls KICK CADILLAC jerk Right now those Corvettes look tough. What a race. Go Porsche 5
  17. On the first car we are going to use Unichip with a full non splice harness. It is very tuneable and will give us two programs one for 94 octane and one for 100 race gas. It will also control water injection. We have a local Unchip dealer with a dyno. Actually we will start with about 360 whp and beg and pray to keep the stock drive with coolers on everything
  18. Yeah coolers on everything basically. Stock 4WD, stock EMS with piggyback ECU and EBC. We plan to break the driveline but we will see because it is not too power only around 350 to the wheels
  19. Charles we will end up running Evo 8 parts for drive and transmission We really have one engine now. #1 will be massive amounts of oil. I guess 10 quarts with an oil cooler. Full Gdogg Ohlins adjustble should be suspension. The whole engine is being replaced. At first we will be risky and use Volvo drive train. It is a test
  20. In New Jersey we are building two much less horsepower cars with limited carbon but we are equally excited. Myself as a driver of NJ #2 I can say I will push it all the way. We hope to be operational by next year and NJ #1 by September
  21. I have been told this cracking problem is strictly harmonic in nature. If the engine is balanced it will not have harmonic problem. It appears these asians had a combination of overheating (you must run a 70-80 termostat) and this heat combined with less than great balancing so I do not think it is an issue for a well built complete engine job type motor
  22. Did you upgrade the cylinder walls or use a stronger cylinder sleeve. I ask as I have seen a S60 guys in Asia with cracked casting between cylinders where it is thin where they touch like this O|O
  23. Jongbloeds, and probably used oh poop do I hate you. My friend will be there on Monday to start his project. Is it still at Atspeed? I can ask him to take pictures for you if you want Also what did you do with all of the original body panels and the transmission. Was this a S60R or just an S60 that you started with. Is this going to be a AWD or FWD. Darn I wish you would put out the specs cause my friend is just starting his Many congrats you are a psycho (which is good)
  24. Was there further progress or some pictures or specs of the finished car?
