[Ruckus]

That thing is amazing, with 850 R front bumper and all, looks awesome!

[ealoken]

im using the same body kit ;) but i couldnt afford the Carbon Fiber.

[77240dl]

WHOA... i didnt see this thread comin

[EKS]

ealoken:
want a update soon! ;-)

It`s gonna look awesome! :-D

[ealoken]

uppdate is coming when im finish with the cutting in my back doors. the wide body is in the garage now ;)

[driven sydeways]

carbon fiber is not a color. painting the cf is the way to go, and leave a pinstripe of cf, or spray the paint thin enough to see carbon beneith it. i love how everything looks! i want to see an rb in a volvo, then getting buck sideways. keep up the good work!

[EKS]

ealoken:

[MrMarley]

The "wide body" kit is bought from a friend of mine in Sweden, he also delivres in carbonfiber ;)

[Ruckus]

Looking good man, I was wondering what was happening with your 742... got any pics of the skyline that so rudely interupted the build. Did you go out and buy all those tires? or did you get some sort of steal on them?

[Lord_Athlon]

I want....**** that, I need compmotives.

[ealoken]

hehe, the old skyline? search for ealoken + skyline on google ;)

i payd aprox 1000$ for those 16 tyres ( 225\45\17" )



You want compomotives? look, im going to buy ---->>>

http://www.comp.co.uk/productpics/wheels/MO1810_l.jpg

[Ruckus]

I have been eyeing up those wheels, but other things are calling. Definitely my favorite compomotives.

[ealoken]

Some new parts has arrived :)

http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y85/ealoken/740n%20min/DSC00604.jpg

http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y85/ealoken/740n%20min/DSC00605.jpg

The engine will be mounted in three weeks i think, so then its just 500 hours of welding, hammering and swearing and some paint left.

Cheers

[Quin]

got any good pics of that red skyline? or your buddy's bmw?

[ealoken]

skyline, bmw? aint this a volvo forum :P :-P

good news, the engine is almoste complete now, my engine expert says that 400 bhp and 600 nm is about the power it will deliver.

And it got a 242 Group A cam ;)

[laster person]

skyline, bmw? aint this a volvo forum :-P

hey, we appreciate awesome cars of any breed here.

[Crazychopstick]

hey, we appreciate awesome cars of any breed here.

It's ealoken's project thread. It's about his Volvo. Awesome cars of any other breed belong in OT.

Keep us updated on that motor swap man. And let me know when you decide to give me those Compomotives.

[ealoken]

I will use a lot of money and time, so i hope the engine is complete around christmas, ready tuned to be used ;)

The old compomotives is sold, new ones will be ordered around next spring ;)
if you want, i can buy and ship a set ore three if you want to buy ;)


Cheers

[mikes02ls1]

ok, the price is 1100 euros for the WB fenders.Do they make them for a 89 745?

[ealoken]

no, only 940 sedan, on 740 you must modify the fenders, as they dont fit so good.

[ealoken]

Good news, the engine is done, with a crazy cam and turbo.

450 hk
550 nm..
8500 revs.
inlet: 288 grader, 240º @ 0.050" , 184º ved 0.2", 13.8mm lift. LCA = 116.

Exhaust. 287 grader, 240º @ 0.050" , 181.7 ved 0.2". 13.2mm lift. LCA =114.

Now some new rims and brake pictures.
