not sure where this goes... but i have some videos of my old setup...

[Guest 73Turbo240z]

Made a thread on another forum finally showing some of my better runs since the wagons gone, figured i'd share em here too since i dunno what all is out there now days. If this is against board policy i apologize, just figured some of ya'll might get a kick out of what i raced before i had my Z.

 

Since the wagons gone now days i decided i'd throw some of the more fun videos i had up on the net for everyone to enjoy, if someone wants to hose i have better res ones than what streetfire allows...

thats all i can remember in the realm of go fast mods, i did a nice brake setup on it since she's a bit on the heavy side to be hauling down from 100+ mph traps, full interior, gauging, leather, heat, AC, power steering...

 

biggest pita w/ that car, and the reason i retired it, is the transmissions, i couldn't get a freaking AW71 to live long... i even had picked up one that was allegedly "built" with kevlar discs, upgraded valving, etc... and it lasted less than 30 days.. i was pissed.

 

i'd been talking w/ svensk racing in sweden about getting an adapter plate that would bolt my redblock to a 200r4 transmission since we had a spare buick grand national transmission laying around... but around that time the Z became mine and i decided to get out of the volvo before i did some super crazy stuff like stall + 200r4 + 60-1 turbo... i do miss it at times.. but i remind myself the Z will obliterate any records i set with the wagon... and i grin and bear it till then.

*addition*

actually i really expected people to hate me/my car when it started racing, the 1st night i ran it i remember folks laughing at me when i lined up w/ some VR6 golf for $50... screaming i was gonna get waxed, etc... i have that video around here somewhere too, i'll see if i can't get it up... i had 3-4 cars on him by halfway through the run.

 

in the end the thing had one hell of a fan club, there wasn't a racing spot in town i couldn't go w/ out hearing people whispering behind my back "is that the wagon i've heard about?" "man don't run that thing, it's a sleeper dog" "**** no i won't run you, i've heard about that volvo!"

 

it was funny and irritating in the same respect, it was great when i could hustle ricers for some easy money, but eventually word got around and that didn't happen anymore, instead i had gassed LS1's and heads/cam/tire 4.6's coming after me... i felt like a middle school kid in high school football practice.

 

but as you saw in some of the videos, i held my own against alot of em, just the occasional billy badass would come after me w/ somthing totally out of my league, then things got stupid when they were upset when i didn't try to run em.

 

best run ever for that car, and unfortunately not on tape since i figured i was gonna get raped, i was coming home from the 1/8th mile track w/ a friend, we were rolling down the highway @ about 70ish... and the volvo being an auto was absolutely a turd on the highway... no gearing for it at all...

 

rolled along side a 99+ gt, fire red w/ 2 guys in it, they look @ me, see the gauges on the pillar and laugh... i drop back a car, pop it over to high boost (16psi for the small wimpy t3), get in it for a second and let off by there window, blow off valve did it's flirting and suddenly they stopped laughing and got serious... passenger signals for a 3 honk, i nod...

 

drop it down to 50mph, upper rpms in second on the auto, he starts honking, i start brake boosting, third honk bam were off... from what i could tell so far i was running a 99+ with some kinda exhaust, intake, and tires...

 

end of run 1 i'm 4 cars in front before i let off... he comes along side and the passenger signals again, i nod, the NPR was loving the air that night, nice and chilly.

 

three honks, brake boosted, go.... were off from 50mph again, i'm about 2 cars out, going into 3rd, on my way to being 3 cars out when i hear the sound of his motor change... fkrs on gas! he closes the gap to where he's 2 cars behind, still doesn't catch or pass me though... so by now i'm figuring surely he was jacking around, cause my car blows a$$ from a roll... stoplights coming up...

 

they come up, window down...

stang: holy sh*t dude what is in that thing!?!

me: light mods, stock block volvo 4cyl, automatic, small t3...

stang: man that thing was fast... i sprayed on you the second run!

me: yea i heard that, whats done to yours?

stang: intake, longtubes, full exhaust, x pipe (or h pipe i can't remember), 75 wet shot of nitrous express, nitto 555r's, short shifter, suspension...

me: cool, good runs, see ya around (he was turning left, i was going straight, hence the lack of stoplight showdown.)

 

that was a good run, and one i wish to god i'd had on film, cause i was really shocked about it!

lol yours was running like sh*t and so was mine... it's all good though, we'll just have to duke it out Z to Z now... as long as you stick to an L block we should be a pretty good run unless you stick a wimpy turbo on yours...

 

don't forget your list tommorow! and jot down the fuel cell on there... can't forget that either... sick of getting high in the volvo...

[Guest ON3GO]

ya just give me a call before 6 so i can put the cell and whatever else in the scion.
