  1. Wallpaper! Itll be the most beautiful thing ive woken up next to in a LOOOOOOOONG time
  2. nick_schall@yahoo.com Thanks
  3. Today, on my way to work, i spotted a yellow bike going south bound on 270, between W.Broad and Geargesville Rd, riding a flippin wheelie down the entire hill... and not just a little one, almost totaly vertical, rider with chest against tank standing almost strait up, going about 75-85mph... it was cool to see, but youguys are fucking retarded to do that at 4:15 when theres plenty of traffic behind you
  4. Birthdays are cool... untill you have to start paying for your own drinks
  5. Ill have to hook up with you guys sometime after my body work and 18's get on there...
  6. Well aparently he set up a set of cones and used a 150ft tape measure. They were on the same tires, the make and model im not sure off. But from what i was told was he did 10 consecutive runs, 10min bewteen each run. The guy used an average because he knew there would be some error involved, and you never know waht the ABS is going to do. If i remember right he had a max distance difference of 10ft, and a minimum of 4, but 7 of the 10 runs were 8 and 9ft. Ill have to search for the thread. The shit part is, they al live across the pond so its easier to get things for the EVO 3 over there, and becoming quite the PITA for us states side. Pedal feel i dont know about, nor the surface area differences of the pots, but i do know he didnt change anything other than the rotating assembly.
  7. No, the rotors are larger by about 5mm over stock. The biggest reason for the swap is to go from the 1 piston caliper to the 2 piston. The stock brakes have a tendency to wear very VERY unevenly, and more times than not, dont apply full braking power to the entire pad surface. Its really one of the worst things ive ever seen. However, with the swap, the 60-0 stopping distance done by one member averaged about 9ft shorter. So some law of physics is working better to stop the car with the swap, not to mention the great aftermarket options for big brake kits later on.
  8. Anytime you deal with a fluid you have two things to factor in, flow pressure, and flow velocity. Your smaller turbo is simply pushing the 22psi into the motor more slowly. The higher flow velocity of the intake charge, the more power youre going to make. Think about electricity, with voltage and current. Your flow rate is Voltage, your pressure is current. You can have 50,000 volts at .1 amp, or 100amps. Its still 50,000 volts, but one is going to kill you when you get shocked lol. In your case, its the opposite. The "current" is the same, but the voltages are different... well thats a no brainer... the one pushing more CFM is going to make more power.
  9. you can borrow my charcoal grill if you want. Much easier to move.
  10. Im an auto too It started to get interesting around 100 though.... it seemed like i started to reel you back in.
  11. One dude was funny... he came up all serious and shit, then just asked is if we were in a car club... then walked away The other guy... "THAT CAR, HAS TO MOVE."
  12. Just pictures i guess. It was kinda fun. I was running low on fuel anyway.
  13. my check engine light flipped on after the first run with the CL... i think it went into safe mode which would be a good reason why i got pulled so hard the second time
  14. bout time something came up on the west side. In like Linn
  15. ive got rotors... need calipers.

    Ford 351 Parts

    All items for sale MUST include an asking price. No more "make me an offer", "what's it worth", etc. If you don't have an idea of what to ask as a starting price, check Ebay for comparable items, ask around, or just guess and add "obo" to the asking price.
  17. they dont bolt up. im sure with some cutting and drilling you could get them to fit, but the Evo III's are direct fit.
  18. score (+71) 356,750 views 90 comments July 20, 2005 Just a little behind the times there....
  19. Well the G4's are from an Austrailian company... yea... thats how far us Volvo guys have to source lol. Someone else told me the D2's were really nice, and i know all about the KW's.
  20. I cant decide between these 4 coilovers... curious of everyone elses opinons of these brands. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Ksport-Coilover-Kit-Volvo-S40-97-04-Springs_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33582QQihZ013QQitemZ230031604580QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWD1V http://cgi.ebay.com/G4-RACING-COILOVERS-TO-SUIT-VOLVO-S40_W0QQitemZ140075312742QQihZ004QQcategoryZ55436QQrdZ1QQssPageNameZWD1VQQcmdZViewItem http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/D2-Racing-Coilovers-Shocks-Springs-95-04-Volvo-S40_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33582QQihZ003QQitemZ130106273116QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWD1V http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/KW-COILOVERS-VOLVO-S40-V50-STAINLESS-WOW-NIB_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33582QQihZ018QQitemZ280005896881QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWD1V
  21. Stock S40 caliper... http://s40concepts.net/forum/index.php?t=getfile&id=12291 Stock Evo III caliper... http://s40concepts.net/forum/index.php?t=getfile&id=12292 Top is S40 pad, bottom is Evo III pad... http://s40concepts.net/forum/index.php?t=getfile&id=12293 I think the pictures should be enough explaination. However, the rear disks while the same size as the front, are SOLID... no venting at all... so when you lay into it, they turn to jello and fade in a matter of seconds. The fronts are ok, but i just got all new OAC rotors for it, and need to upgrade the calipers while im at it... also, should i ever go to a big brake kit and decide to keep 18's on year round, you can get some nasty 6 pot kits for the Evo III. id like to start running around the track... but i need to get the 16T on, some 550's, a tune, and the D2 suspension kit on. I just think it would be fun to bomb a 4 door around the race track :nod:
