What schools are you looking at? I bet if there are board members in the area, they'd put you up for the night. I would, if you were looking at notre dame.

 

Thanks for the offer! I'll keep it in mind. Would love to get back out to NYC again.

I'm looking at University of Virginia. My Uncle lives right outside Front Royal in the Blue Ridge Mountains, so I'm staying there.

But if anyone is in the area and wants to meet up, let me know. I'm planning on meeting up with a couple people from VS when I go to Charlottesville to tour the campus.

 

Nice ride. If you decide to resell those IPD sways in the future let me know.
If you have not seen the movie "The Parking Lot Movie" check it out. It is fun and filmed in Charlottesville.

 

Thanks for the compliment. Sway bars aren't going anywhere for a long time. lol. Too much fun.


Oh, and finally washed her yesterday, so I'll post more pictures when I can drive it again. Found this yesterday morning:

 

 

We all know what house to TP now.....:-)

 

LOL. Get at me! haha.


But that's my ECU going out to Viva for a RICA Stage III Tune. So excited.

Anyways, had a MWC meet today. Here's some pics:









These are just my ****ty cell phone pics. I'll post some more when my friend with the good camera posts his.

 

thought you decided to go IPD Stage 3...what happened?

 

IPD couldn't do what I wanted. They can't remove both EGR/SAS and rear O2 off their tunes, all of which I don't have. They also can't do a tune for a 19T. RICA is able to remove all emission control systems and will tune it for the 19T. Plus it was a lot cheaper.

 

For anyone interested, my Bilstein HD Struts and front Kilen Sport springs are now for sale. Check the for sale forum or click the link for more information and pictures

Re-did my catch can routing. The other way had two 90* bends and a vertical route to the can. This isn't as pretty, but there's no 90* bends or vertical. So it should flow a lot better once I get my tune in.







And rattle canned my spare spark plug cover to toss in and clean it up a bit





That's it for now. Will have some more stuff going on after this weekend.

 

Nice work on the Catch Can. I took a stroll tonight thinking about many things. I started to think about the PCV -- Gilber33 how is your compression now? That's the original motor right?

 

No, it's a swapped in engine that has 111k on it now. I haven't ever checked compression but it runs strong so I'm not really worried about it. I should do one soon though just to check it.

 

what is that black hose with the blue inner wall, next to the oil cap?

 

SAMCO coolant hose. It's bent back since I had to take out my oil cooler hoses.

 

You have done a lot of nice work. Still using whites?

 

Thanks. It's been a lot of hard work, but I think it's just getting to the point of almost being done (kind of, because it will never be done). But my tune is at the fed ex location to get shipped out tomorrow, and once that gets here, my whites will be going back in.

I just want to do a new evaporator so I can have AC again, hubs all the way around, and front 302 brake upgrade, and a strut bar. But all of this is a "within due time" type of thing, no rush. Oh, and would like to relocate the battery to the trunk and put in an aquamist system.

Here's some better pics from the last meet here in the Midwest:

 

You're right, there ain't much room there. BTW, your car looks very nice. You got more pics of the meet?

 

Yeah, I got some more pics.



















The shop it was in (the guy who owns the green S70 and the guy with the gray S70 w/silver bumper owns the shop). It's a pretty big shop. You can't see it, but to the right of the pics there is a giant *** boat and jet ski, and next to those a Pontiac GTO with the engine out and I think it's getting supercharged or something.

 

I like red colors on Volvos for some reason. I think that red S70 competes with yours black. I do have a lot of respect for the older 242s as well.
