Gideon35T Posted December 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2013 NJGreen - I'm very sad my S60 is a geartronic. I was seriously considering redoing it for rally but I don't think the tranny will be happy with perpetual spin :-/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gideon35T Posted December 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2013 Kind of debating picking up a cheap 244 NA manual and having some fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosted_Volvo Posted December 6, 2013 Report Share Posted December 6, 2013 Maybe not the best rallycar choice but fun regardless. Geartronic isn't too bad but I dunno about full on rallying with it. A cheap 244 would be fun-er . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gideon35T Posted December 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 Good thing you were going slow, you turned WAY too late, hahahaha Are you auto or manual? If auto, how does it mind the wheelspin (without traction control)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scania Posted December 10, 2013 Report Share Posted December 10, 2013 What did you Rally ? Car wise ? Class ? Under what sanction ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJGreenBudd Posted December 10, 2013 Report Share Posted December 10, 2013 Lol I know I know, I'm no Colin McCray over here. I think the auto handled spinning fine, there is a huge aux trans cooler installed on that car if that makes a difference. I just used to mess around in it for fun, who doesn't love playing in snow?

Gideon35T Posted December 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2013 Scania - I rally for my own personal entertainment here in AZ. Autocross or track play is fun and all but the rules and regs can take a lot out of the enjoyment. Plus, cage rules alone for rally increase cost drastically. So, I prefer to build my own toys and enjoy them however I see fit. Somewhere on here is some info on my old B13 Rally toy (my last off road machine). Here's a quick pic: NJ - Glad to hear the auto doesn't mind. Maybe I should reconsider my S60 plans. Any issues with no standard rev limiter or just try hard to keep her under 7k rpms?
