    1991 Volvo 740 Turbo

    There is an older turbo Volvo wagon that comes to the local track on Friday nights. Street legal, 4 door wagon, full interior, and runs in the 11's most nights. You'd never guess it from the outside. There are definitely some rabid Volvo enthusiasts out there that can help you out. I'd...

    Custom Aluminum Quarter Window Scoops

    As someone else said, they do seem to be missing a little something, but as another said, I'm only used to seeing louvers. Does the front vent continue and exit at the rear vent on the quarters? Not that it would really matter, I' just curious. Either way, very nice construction, and a great...

    Hurst S/T not sure how I like it..

    Sorry, I didn't mean to imply that the MGW was not rigidly mounted. All I'm proposing is replacing the "restrictive" front transmission mount, with a joint that has more degrees of freedom. Replacing the front mount with a Heim joint should allow the transmission to move, without binding the...

    Hurst S/T not sure how I like it..

    Not to ruffle any feathers here, but I've been thinking of something for a while that makes sense to me, but I don't have the money to test it out right now... It seems to me from a structural/functional standpoint, that the only difference between the MGW and all others, is the the MGW is not...

    Shifting the manual for better fuel econ

    Eh, I didn't buy a Mustang GT for the fuel economy..... That being said, every time I turn on the news in the morning and they freak out about the new record high price of oil, I tend to drive a little easier on the way to work. I usually shift under 2k, but then again I hit the pedal to the...

    any S197 Air Conditioning Tricks?

    Wish I could help, but my AC blows VERY cold, even in the 105 degree heat (+humidity) we had here in VA a couple weeks ago. I actually can really stand the AC on fan level 4, and I only push it to 3 when it is really hot out. Perhaps you can try another dealer in the area, on a hotter day...

    Failed inspection

    I'm surprised that he didn't fail you for the off road X-pipe.... I was under the impression that any time you remove the cats that it would result in an immediate fail for any state inspection. If you only need to have one thing out of the three working, I'd see if it is possible to turn on...

    omg...It's HIDEOUS!

    I never really understood the Avanti, or the owners of them for that matter. Same goes for the old Kaisers, which fell right in line with the avanti. I can't say I like the new one either. I am curious what they'll be charging for one of those though....

    Woot! I just recieved my MGW Shifter in the mail! *Pics Inside 56k? Doubt it.*

    I'm still trying to determine if I want the MGW or the Hurst. Everyone says the MGW is by far the best shifter, but I just can't get over how nice the Hurst looks. Usually I'm a form follows function kind of guy, but I just can't turn down the chrome stick and white ball. One other thing I...

    few pics from tonight

    Looks great! I've always loved the deep dish lip on the rears.... :nice:

    New guy from VA

    Welcome Chris! Sounds like you and I are in almost exactly the same boat.... I've also been a chevy guy all my life, but ended up with a Mustang GT when I needed a new car. If there had been a Camaro at the time, I likely would have bought it. Even though I have some thing planned for the...

    Check Engine Light Caused by Bug(insect) in sensor

    Assuming that you still have an air filter in your car, they're full of crap. No way could a bug make it that far past an undamaged air filter. First I'd raise hell about that because it is rediculous. If they don't do anything about it, be sure to never visit them again. :notnice: I'm...

    e85 85% ethanol fuel

    Few thoughts here.... We are already seeing the impact of farmers switching over their crops. Since the corn used for E85 is so heavily subsidized by the government, many farmers are switching their crops, making other food more expensive. In the last year alone, barley, corn used for animal...

    Installing 07 shaker 500 in 05+ can give you XM or Sirius satellite radio

    In response to all the antennae posts, why the hell did American manufacturers stop integrating the antennae in the defroster/windshield? My buddy has a 1970 Chevy Nova SS with an antennae built into the windshield, that get better FM reception than my brand new S197. Even worse, I have a...

    How's your seat adjusted?

    When I first bought mine, I had the seat all the way up, just to get used to the car.... Now I have the rear of the seat as far down as possible, with the front of the seat just slightly above that. (I find that's the best position for MY legs to activate the clutch.) I have the wheel all the...

    Installing 07 shaker 500 in 05+ can give you XM or Sirius satellite radio

    You may want to hold off on doing this.... As stanmckinney said, the federal government just approved a merger between Sirius and XM. Shouldn't be too much longer until the FCC approves it, and a new pricing plan is released. Most likely, you'll be able to get both services with only one...

    Need some drag racing tips

    Best thing to do is check your tracks rules as far as what is required. For instance, I usually run at my local 1/4 mile tracks "street night" No helmet is required if you're running the street class. MY track requires full length pants and close toed shoes. Yours may differ. The most...

    Vibrating from passenger side door?

    About two weeks ago, mine started doing the same thing.... Sounds like it's coming from the passenger side woofer grill, right? I think mine is just loose, but honestly I haven't even had time recently to go open the door and find the source of the rattle (I think grad school is slowly killing...

    SRT-8 challenger

    I just saw the production model today at the Richmond Auto show (don't worry, it was very apparent that Richmond is considered a third tier city by the automotive industry.... you didn't miss much at all). That being said, I'm still a bit mixed on the challenger. The exterior is nice but needs...

    So close to putting in a bid!

    I've never really thought about it before, but could you legally drive that on the road? Or would you be cited/arrested for "impersonating an officer"? A friend of mine used to have an crown Vic police interceptor, that was formally an undercover State trooper car he picked up at auction...
