I'm just saying, it's not a small block chevy or anything. It's a modern FWD car, a Volvo at that.

BTW, I should have known everything wasn't going to go smoothly when Baker first showed up with the car on the back of the U-Haul and he didn't put the truck in park or set the parking brake... The U-Haul started rolling away with the 850 on the back of it as he ran down the street after it. Pure comedy gold :lol:

u fail..

I would be willing to bet that Mr.Mattson = Boomin850

Just sayin

nah, it's not Boomin.

the u-haul story is pretty funny....kind of like the time when I over-shot rhino ramps and crashed down on my fiberglass sideskirts lol....

My engine in it's extremely slappy state did 160 on all 5. Doesn't mean the engine worked properly.

Was that all five combined?

He took off so hard, the rear squated down, the tires chirped and I could hear the turbo spooling. I have no idea how much he was boosting. He took off from the side of the road, which leads me to believe he pulled over after leaving boomin850's to perhaps tweek something, perhaps he wanted more boost? All I know is, that if I just put an engine in a car as complicated as an 850 that had only gone around the block on a test drive, I wouldn't be driving the car that hard.

nope i actually got lost in your town becasue my nav doesnt work so i got all mixed up and the ass on my volvo is really low want a pic? i have alot of junk in the trunk i didnt boost over 7psi the whole way back and i know that for a fact and yes i had to pick the car up as you say "early" but i dont see how that matters when he had the car for a month and i told him 2 weeks before i needed it a certain time.

:lol: :lol:

If I can do it, anyone can.

Agreeed :lol:

And if the engine did have 10k on it wich I find hard to belive you could put that in and beat the hell out of it right off the back and nothing would go wrong.

that and the over heating phhh sorry you can put pure water in and the car wont over heat , I wonder how I know , oh wait my car right now is pure water and still runs cool . (trying to find a leak dont want to waste money on coolant)

Car only over heats for a few reason

Fan control broken

Thermostate is bad

Bad headgasket

shitty engine build

engine built by moron

engine installed by moron

I might be missing one or two but you get my point
