I was too legit. Too legit to quit. - Page 6

The E-fan from my 242 decided to quit. Glad I had some spare 960 fans in the shed

gsellstr · 04-27-2018, 10:25 PM

Funny, I was painting stuff last night on mine as well. Had some Krylon but for some reason it didn't want to dry this time around, so there's a couple finger prints on it, despite sitting overnight.

Wagon is almost done, 140 just needs a bath. Found the radiator is leaking, not the water pump on it. Nothing like last minute show prep. lol

BR1CKHOUS3 · 04-27-2018, 11:55 PM

Volvos know when a show is coming...they toy with our emotions

I'm sure you've all done it, but I ran the car open downpipe for yuks. Sounds awesome but I'm SO glad I have a full exhaust

gsellstr · 04-28-2018, 01:23 AM

I do it whenever I've got the exhaust unhooked for something. Yup, absolutely mandatory! lol

BR1CKHOUS3 · 04-29-2018, 02:37 AM

All buttoned up! Didn't have time to do the center caps and a few odds and ends, but no worries. See you guys in a few hours!

BR1CKHOUS3 · 04-29-2018, 10:59 PM

Got to the show good and early

Had an amazing time! Very good event, HUGE thanks to the volunteers, and good to see/meet a lot of you!

gsellstr · 04-29-2018, 11:14 PM

Good chatting with ya man! Definitely gotta get a track night as well, seeing how it's running now.

BR1CKHOUS3 · 04-30-2018, 11:53 AM

Definitely. Congrats on the placements btw!

The 740 has a few more things coming this summer, but then it will be time to jump into the 242...

gsellstr · 04-30-2018, 02:40 PM

Thanks!

Next year the 242 will be at the show right? RIGHT?!?

My dad brought his LT1 265 and his friend brought his minty 242 turbo so YES, I want to park with them next year. My roomie can bring up my 7 if he doesn't find his own by then. He really wants a pre-90 744

Is there a Davis photo thread yet? I'll drop mine in there.

In local news, there is a Volvo meet at my parent's house every day

Edit: I have to say THANK YOU again to Janspeed for pointing out my strut mount! Between that fix and a new lower control arm the car rides excellent on the freeway now with no pull in the steering

BR1CKHOUS3 · 04-30-2018, 04:45 PM

Center caps...Yes or no?

Redwood Chair · 04-30-2018, 05:54 PM

Yes, always fill the hole.

benski · 04-30-2018, 06:36 PM

RC is correct.

BR1CKHOUS3 · 04-30-2018, 07:26 PM

Ok so...what logo do I put on the center cap? Volvo or AZEV?

Redwood Chair · 04-30-2018, 07:30 PM

Polish it.

Normally I'd agree but I think they would look nice painted to match the color surrounding the lugs...

No contrast then so no pop.

BR1CKHOUS3 · 05-02-2018, 09:07 PM

Garage shens with my roomie

BR1CKHOUS3 · 05-04-2018, 12:58 PM

The trunk hasn't changed much. New wiring on my 4 channel and new door speakers are in the works this summer though

LC4CARL · 05-06-2018, 12:18 AM

BR1CKHOUS3 · 05-06-2018, 11:48 AM

^^ Ok now that's a sweet idea!

89_740Turbo · 05-06-2018, 12:13 PM

What diameter is y our downpipe and exhaust? What other mods have been done? O2 sensor?

Stock downpipe and o2 sensor setup. the conical 15G goes in with no modifications as long as you clock it properly and can make a bracket for the wastegate

BR1CKHOUS3 · 05-07-2018, 10:20 AM

These are going on the 740 later this year. S40 R-design wheels. AZEVs need to go on my 242
