Commander Riker Posted July 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2012 Out with the old... In with the new... I'd like to take a moment wot wish y'all a happy 4th of July. Also, I'd like to make a public service announcement regarding the use of cheap parts from FCP on your beloved Volvo cars. DO NOT USE THEM .... unless you like replacing the a short time later. My front end I've done over the last year with cheap parts because I just didn't have the cash.. but there's always a price to be paid. The ball joints have failed in under 25K. The driver side is actually failing in a pretty quick and dramatic fashion. Luckily, I got some Moog parts in from Advance Auto Parts online on the double... and will try them just out of curiosity. After this... new OEM volvo hubs and Raxles for this kid. That is all. Have a great day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonC Posted July 6, 2012 Report Share Posted July 6, 2012 Maybe we should change this to the Turbobricks Chat Thread. The more Texas folks would show up lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commander Riker Posted July 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2012 6.5 hours for me... but I'd be down. Maybe I could roll with some of the Austin crew if there is any. However... is this a VCOA meet? I don't want to have to pay a membership fee to hang out with people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commander Riker Posted July 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 Please chime in if anyone is interested in making this a target date for the meet. I propose that we meet regardless if there is a VCOA membership charge or not. If there is, we'll just hang out across the street or something. Post up!

JasonC Posted July 9, 2012 Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 Im down, but Im pretty sure you dont have to be a member of VCOA to attend a meet. At least the last time I checked that was correct. Oct 20 gives me plenty of time to get my car properly set up as well. 1st family road trip in the Volvo! Should be interesting with a 3 and 4 yr old lol.

Commander Riker Posted July 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 Will be interesting where my car is by this time, but should be ready for a trip. So October 20th... anyone else think this would be a good time? If we find out who is where and going when, maybe we can group up and not have to roll alone.
