Leo850T5 Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 Awesome! This car grew on me a lot, I like the interior too. needs a 5 spd though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falcone Posted February 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 Ahahah Falcone you are the stuff man, fck the vs haters. LB Fck yeah man, glad to see you're still kicking it. How's the fat car doing anyway?. Keep your head strait dude. I noticed in your picks you were auto...you still auto? With all the mods wondering how it holds/heals up Yeah, still auto. I literally can't kill it, i have had a special m56L on a skid for over a year now waiting to go in. But when I bought it, I said it wouldn't be swapped until I kill the auto. Brake boosts to 14psi and 3k at least three times a day, shift it from 1,2,3,D all the time, Neutral 6k into drive dumps. I'm amazed with it. Has 330,000kms on the fluid, its black, smells like an infection and has metal chunks in it. Its coming out in the spring, it beat me at my own game. I'm making a table out of it, so it can forever mock my incompetence. I love your car. Couldn't rock it myself, so I live vicariously through your pics - looking forward to spring screaming. Thanks man. It takes a "special" person to rock this. You should see me driving it with my red plaid suit, and ww2 gas mask (bought it when I was running a road draft and the whole gutted metal interior stunk like crank case). I still wear it for sh!tz and giggles. I get a shard loadof looks. Even been pulled over a few times with the "mask". Awesome! This car grew on me a lot, I like the interior too. needs a 5 spd though Thanks man. Its fun putting porn on the DVD player at red lights. 5 speed along with a makeover to come. And everyone who see's it in person is the same way. The car grows on you like a wart I guess. Its really something else in person, the pics don't do it justice. Everytime I walk to it, it brings the biggest smile to my face and makes me laugh (sometimes with the car, sometimes at it). I love it. The goal of the "makeover" is to gain 55whp to get 425. And to make it blend in a little more (still deciding on that one). For a fwd dd, that should be enough for me. I'll post up the new sheet when she gets done in the spring (have to put it back on the road first). I've completed a new tune on a set of 1000cc's and the 3571R, and all looks good. Plus the meth injection has been tweaked (read moar meth) and i'm doing some light head work at the moment (valve lapping, porting/polishing,playing with different spring rates). Think it should give me the 50 I would like. And hopefully by tweaking the looks a little, I won't be pulled over every day by the local po po. And the po po call it "the lowrider Volvo". Every cop in kingston and quite a few OPP know it by this name. Its hilarious, it doesn't even have matching wheels or nice paint hahah. More to come, comments/critizisms always welcomed and encouraged.

lookforjoe Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 thanks for the compliments/criticizms, I appreciate it. Keep your eye out in the spring for something that is faster than direhhea, and looks worse, because it'll be the 854. Cheers fellas Mike Hi tTried to find the post where you mentioned the new cams you installed - I ask 'cos I just ordered Enem cams for my new head....

Falcone Posted February 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 I just saw that. Looking forward to to you trying them out. I installed a setof CAt cams that took me and my friend forever to source. I can find and post up the specs if you like. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T5wagon1717 Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 I noticed you wanted to make 55 more whp. What are you making now on what setup? Amazing the auto held that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jnderr Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 That car grows on me the more I see it. I wouldn't mind hearing you expand on what you've done with the motronic suite, from the looks of the most recent build its come along quite a bit for 4.3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matchbox22 Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 This is the volvo version of rusty the bmw. Sleeper for sure I would've never guess it had a built motor inside of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falcone Posted March 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 Relised I never replied to you Hussein. Sorry, had a super busy week. I would like to see the specs for comparison. What difference did they make in your setup? I'm assuming that breathing will be vastly improved! I think these are them. I have a couple different sheets Kamlyft(m.m.): 9,42/9,26 Ventillyft(m.m.): 9,42/9,26 Öppnings-vinkel för insug/avgas spridningsv.: 246/240/110 Öppningstider: 9-58-57-3 Ventil lyft ö.d: 0,50/0,13 They made a night and day difference over the n/a cams. Blew me away. I was nervous while holding the key for the first start though I noticed you wanted to make 55 more whp. What are you making now on what setup? Amazing the auto held that. LB the hooker got it covered in the next post. I want the auto to die, but it is being turned into a table when it comes out, proving its won "The goal of the "makeover" is to gain 55whp to get 425" 425 - 55 = 370 whp Man, thats good. hahaha, it made me laugh That car grows on me the more I see it. I wouldn't mind hearing you expand on what you've done with the motronic suite, from the looks of the most recent build its come along quite a bit for 4.3 Thanks. Its a pain in the as$, I hate it, it bugs me and gives me nightmares. But I had a good teacher. Looking into upgrading in the spring This is the volvo version of rusty the bmw. Sleeper for sure I would've never guess it had a built motor inside of it Wow, I wouldn't go that far, but thanks. I love that car (hate the gold ronals, only time i'll say I hate ronal turbo's). Most people have no idea i've done some work on the motor, their faces are priceless as 100km/h comes on and I light the tires up. Reason for the busy week, I have a new project. I sold the E30 for a nice profit, and bought this E21. 65,000kms on the chasis. Not a spec of rust. I love houndsooth Recaro's. I'm skinny, and they hug me. crappy cell pics. I'll take good ones when I go to pick her up later this week. I'm exite and I swapped a 5hp big block Tecumseh that I built a few years ago with a billet ARC rod for a 5hp briggs, weisco flat top piston, billet flywheel, copper head gasket, oversized exhaust valve, 3-angle valve job and some other sh!t into my pit bike. Rev's 7800 safely. I use this bike at the track because i'm lazy, and my freinds cars always brake so it comes in handy. The stock 2.8 hp motor was weak, so this needed to be done before the spring. It has the same theme as the BBQ, goes about 60km/h, need a smaller rear sprocket to go faster. Motor should be good for about 120 with proper gearing cheers guys, more to come.

Intake 246/110/9.42 Exhaust 240/110/9.26 figured out "avgas" is exhaust, since my Enem exhaust cam is marked "A" big jump over stock cams. mine are both 264/110/9.6 I can appreciate the trepidation on the 1st startup! I'm concerned about getting the cam timing right, since none of the reference markers apply, and the hubs not keyed in any way :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falcone Posted March 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 Yeah its going to be tricky. I think you will encounter some valve overlap with those, even with n/a cams I found I had some and had to play with the intake timing a tad. You might have to do some fancy timing work on your intake cam to get it right. Those will be awesome cams when you get them running right though. And you're going to see some big gains, because even the n/a cams are retardedly tame,in the ballpark of 60whp. Keep us posted on them, i'm very interested in your outcome, as i'm sure others are as well. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
