SPLN SUX

i want it to have my babies

how much does the Formula weigh with you in it??? Im curious as to how much id have to put down in the Z24 to have any chance of keeping a good veiw of your tail lights

i laughed

Yup... my main thing is that because its paid off... i can pay liability only on it... So as soon as it runs NA, the Volvo is being sold. Then as soon as i get all my parts together, ill go buy somehting else to cruise around in while i boost the Z24. The suck part is that i might not be able to get it running on boost this year However the nice part is, ill have everything i need and have a good 3000-5000 miles on the fresh motor so itll be nice and broken in before crossing into the 400+ club It might take me a while to source down a w41 for its cams/towers and PS pump :burn:

I dont think it will handle it very long... maybe just long enough to tune it Realistically though, this car will probably be more of a dyno/roll-on princess (its not cool enough to be a queen lol) than anything. Maybe run a 10-15inHG daily and really let it cut loose on the dyno. Due to the nature of these engines, and thier notorious reputation for uncontrollable surging from boost, i dont think id really be able to put more than maybe 300whp to the ground w/o really fighting it. So the higher boost would probably only come out on the dyno and maybe a couple highway runs... oh yea, you know i have to run it a couple times just to see Im going to start looking thru the junkyards for a trans off a 2.3HO... they are pretty stout and some even had a quaife LSD from the factory. Supposedly, they bolt right up... but i havent actully looked at the bell housings to check. If that doesnt work, i can always have a 4T40E put together with 4T45E parts... that seems to be holding the power for the automatic guys. If i could get a 3T40 to mate up, id use it instead... its the strongest of all the trannys used in the J bodies... but it was used in the LN2 chassis and its vacuum controled so the shifts arent that fast. I suppose ill figure it all out when i get there.

The UPS man visited me today http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y292/mrmeanr/DSC00059.jpg http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y292/mrmeanr/DSC00058.jpg Im still waiting on my turbo to come, but at least now i can put the whole bottom end together. :burn:

Yes the American V8's sound fantastic... but nothing says sex like an Italian V8, 10, or 12.

i hate that fuckin turbo

am i retarded or do all the body panels look like differnet colors

yea, that thing looks like its got some serious Mazda 6 and Volvo S40T5 lines in it... im on the fence.

oh dont get me wrong... i hate the car it self... its a handful... mostly because its garbage from the factory. I do however LOVE the engine... its work of art. I wont hesitate to take a plasma cutter to the inside of that car... but the engine is my baby :burn: BTW all of these cars are running smaller ,and milder engines and turbos with less boost than my intended setup :burn: http://videos.streetfire.net/search/cavalier/3/6CE0C4C2-EB18-4B27-9628-59A93D9D1FE0.htm http://videos.streetfire.net/search/cavalier/5/971EA58F-694F-4893-B282-5408057990A3.htm http://videos.streetfire.net/search/cavalier/4/5E60160A-B9FE-4F15-9CFB-F1738CBE8420.htm

and......... Does M&M have a website??? How bout a # or addy?

Well, at long last... after almost two years of down time... my Z24 is finally getting its parts. I orderd some .020 over pistons, a T3/T4 57trim .63 A/R stage 3 turbo, an exhaust manifold, and 38mm Tial wastegate. I already have some stuff... but there are a couple things i still need to pick up... and nitrous is not out of the question Im looking to have it up and running by the time i get my license back in September, but im going to need a little help with the actual swapping of the motor when its all put back together. Because i just had a surgery for a hernia, i cant exactly muscle stuff around like i used to. Perhaps theres maybe still a couple people i havent pissed off that could aid me sometime Anyway, a couple things im looking for... - A good place to have my head decked, ported, milled .040, and rebuilt - A place that can make a custom intake manifold - A place that can run my exhaust that wont give me shit about not using a converter Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated See you in the Fall! :burn:

yea ive seen that before. theres a reason why none of us get payed to do that lol.

im curious myself... they do Upsolute Tuning and id like to get a tune done on my Volvo there... let me know what you find out

I pulled in about 10:10 and park away from everyone and sat untill Mike pulled in and parked. I was parked right next to him.

Post any good ones you have! http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y292/mrmeanr/newyearcat.jpg http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y292/mrmeanr/cat.jpg http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y292/mrmeanr/98071dfb4fcaec7888aa76bb1c27a27e200.jpg Post any good ones you have! [added NWS for any profanity]

Yea i spotted you, and I was the one that walked up while you were talking to Mike... forgot to introduce myself lol. Yea, anytime anyone shows up to meets and doesnt know anyone, feel free to come introduce yourself... ill be the toolbox leaning on the Volvo :burn:

Germans rule

You should talk to me sometime... ill tell you all the secrets to making power from those 2.4's... as a matter of fact... youll see one later this year

not much you can do against AWD and 700-1000lbft of torque

My roommate has a 02 Ninja 250R... i think he wants to sell it but i dunno how much. I could ask.

i picked a Volvo... i got nothing.

Ill make an appearence... car is dirtier than a $2 whore... need to have a good dry week to clean it up.
