I was too legit. Too legit to quit. - Page 7

I thought about those for mine, just didn't do it, curious how they will look. FYI, smaller center bore if you weren't aware already...

BR1CKHOUS3 · 05-08-2018, 09:54 AM

I already modified one to fit my spacers. I think I only paid ~$200 for these a few years ago, so once the tires are up on my AZEVs I may as well give these a shot. Worst case they'll be in FS with some new tires at the end of the summer

BR1CKHOUS3 · 05-10-2018, 07:27 PM

Found a cone filter while I was cleaning so I threw this together just to hear the CBV for a bit

If you can guess what I used for the MAF bracket you win a zip tie.

+Kardboard+ · 05-10-2018, 08:30 PM

Was that...was that a putty knife?

BR1CKHOUS3 · 05-10-2018, 10:21 PM

It was a Coleman bbq spatula a few hours ago

Just used it to hold up the MAF so I could whoosh around the block a few times

Stock airbox is back in now

BR1CKHOUS3 · 05-12-2018, 11:41 AM

Another E-fan died on me

Going to pop in my last spare, but its time for me to go aftermarket. Probably going to buy a Spal brand and not deal with cooling issues ever again

Eyeballing these..

gsellstr · 05-12-2018, 06:56 PM

Damn, what have you been using for fans so far?

2barxr · 05-13-2018, 09:18 AM

First one was a Dodge dakota Efan I had in my 242, second one was a 940 fan I let sit outside for a long time. Won't be surprised if my third fan (also 940) goes because it sat out a lot too

Good to hear. The consensus is that they make great fans

gsellstr · 05-13-2018, 01:08 PM

Ahh, that explains it a little. Honestly, I've only had to replace the fan on Gwen's 850R when it got noisy, but that was around 280k. I'm running a low mileage JY pull 850 fan as well, been good so far, now that I just cursed myself for the drive to IPD. lol

Hope the trip goes well. Is the 850 fan lower profile than the 940 one?

BR1CKHOUS3 · 05-15-2018, 12:35 AM

Making the monthly 'car payment'

Been driving the blue 740 wagon I seem to have adopted from my parents. E fan wiring has been fixed. Relay went bad. Back on the road tomorrow hopefully

BR1CKHOUS3 · 05-16-2018, 10:13 PM

Found out why the fan quit

Instead of messing with mounting another 940 fan, I'm waiting for a Spal to get here since it will actually last and be worth the effort to mount it nicely

BR1CKHOUS3 · 05-19-2018, 07:40 PM

Cleaned up and ready for the Modesto Euro Sunday meet tomorrow

BR1CKHOUS3 · 05-27-2018, 04:24 PM

Cars and coffee Modesto turned out nice again

I'll post all my pics in the Modesto Euro Sunday thread instead of starting a new one. Great turnout this weekend.

BR1CKHOUS3 · 06-01-2018, 10:59 PM

Waiting for an O2 sensor and distributor seal kit to arrive. Swapped the wheels on some of my diecast in the meantime and came up with a decent version of this car

BR1CKHOUS3 · 06-09-2018, 03:27 PM

So the oil separator split in half....explains a lot.

Guess I'll install these *while I'm in there*

BR1CKHOUS3 · 06-14-2018, 01:26 AM

Buy a cheap oil separator, clean up an oily mess

Volvo parts to the rescue!

BR1CKHOUS3 · 06-14-2018, 01:35 PM

Broke off the end of the oil dipstick

Fashioned this for now

JimmyMelbs · 06-15-2018, 07:07 PM

Can you guys assist me?
I have a 940 efan and a Davies craig digital fan controller.
I want to wire it all in today with an indicator light in the cabin to tell when it's
On.
What's the best thickness wire to use ?

BR1CKHOUS3 · 06-15-2018, 09:41 PM

thank guys. Glad I still have a few of those around

Not sure if I can help you Jimmy. I'd check in maintenance most likely

BR1CKHOUS3 · 06-19-2018, 06:49 PM

Mr. bench grinder helped me clearance a spacer

Going together well.. don't want to jinx myself but all the studs came out/went in easily so I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop

gsellstr · 06-19-2018, 10:00 PM

Man, you need a chipset so you can ditch the EGR. Makes life so much easier for manifold swapping, performance, all that jazz...
