  1. Someone needs to be shot. Dont act like you guys dont have cars like that over there... =P
  2. Yeah that sounds right. After talking to the guys from SNS I guess my figure is average for a stage 4 with my mods. So now I am saving up for the lysholm and a front mount. That should put me over 200 easily. =]
  3. Thanks guys! Here is a picture of the results. I think it might have to do with my car needing a tune up in general and that I need to have my air/fuel adjusted - according to the guys at ATP I was running too rich with my SNS chip.
  4. So from the day I bought my Corrado from its previous owner I was under the impression that my car was nearing 200hp at the wheels. With this list you would think so: Kompressor Kanada Stage 4 ported & rebuilt charger 68mm charger pulley SNS stage 5 custom no-lag chip (meant for california 91 octane) 3.5bar FPR Neuspeed p-flo w/ k&n BBM RSR outlet Eurosport hard intercooler tubes ISV re-route Techtonics 2.25'' cat-back exhaust w/ resonator Flowmaster muffler TT high flow cat Low temp thermostat Low temp fan switch Autotech 260 hydro cam Boost return removal kit Windage tray So, today I went to a dyno and got my car done. It was like getting kicked in the pants. My car is only running 155bhp. 155!!! I was thinking more close to 190bhp. Ugh. A depressing day…
  5. This yeah some good things are coming to the G60. Starting this list with parts that are ordered and on their way: • Blue tinted spherical side mirrors • Rear European plate holder to replace the US plate holder • Hood lifts • 3 slat badge less grill with built in eyebrow • New aluminum door pins to replace the cheap plastic ones • Door handle repair kit – to replace the stock parts and make them last longer Now for the things I am saving up for: • I need to source down my oil leaking issue and depending on how that goes and 2.0L bottom end might be in the works. • Custom made full cage to keep me nice and safe =] (I am going to have my friend who made this one for his volvo do mine - click the links below to check them out) http://www.pbase.com/volvo242ti/image/24344900 http://www.pbase.com/volvo242ti/image/24346601 http://www.pbase.com/volvo242ti/image/24346593 • Lysholm supercharger kit • FMIC • Paint re-spray – removal of dents, possible install of Audi door handles, shaving side moldings, shaving rear badge, antenna removed, possible filling or removal of the weather striping on the top of the car - a long time family friend is opening a body shop, so I am getting a huge hook up.
  6. Never seen anything like them before. They do remind me of something that would be on a MK2 GTI or something. I kind of like them only because they are really different - they aren’t ugly, just different.
  7. Hey guys the shirts are back up for sale on ebay! For those of you who missed out - now is your chance to get them again! http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayI ... 7957457864
  8. Red=Fast actually came from me mocking someone on http://www.sfbavw.com after he gave me nothing but crap when I swapped a built 2.0L 16v into my former Corrado G60 that blew its charger. His signature used to say Yellow=Fast (His car was a yellow VR6T GTI). So one day when I was feeling a bit saucy, I decided to mock him by changing my name to Red=Fast - My new G60 is red and is somewhat fast =P. Normally on non car forums I go by Joshed.
  9. So true. The constant repairs and time when its off the road it makes me crazy, driving it makes up for it every time. =]
  10. Hey guys just wanted to let everyone know that I am going to be producing much higher quality videos to come because I just bought my first semi-professional 3CCD DV camera. I bought a mint Canon GL-1 off of eBay. I also just upgraded to Final Cut Pro 4 and iMovie HD. I do all of my editing on a Dual 867 G4 Power Mac desktop. I am so excited to get going on making the videos. Hopefully you guys won’t be disappointed. =] For now just in case anyone hasn’t seen these here are some car videos I have done in the past with MUCH lower quality mini DV cameras and older versions of said programs for editing: http://www.shovelbeating.org/~josh/movi ... 20Related/ Also, here are some video I did from my first year of Video Productions (from 2002) - I will also be uploading some videos I made from my second year of VP. Anyways, here is the link for those: http://www.shovelbeating.org/~josh/movi ... 0Year%201/ Also, if anyone wants their car to be in a video, please contact me so we can set up getting the tapes or files to me. I can get the videos on DVD in full DV quality if anyone is interested. Contact info: Josh Maurer Email: mailto:[email protected]
  11. possibly this next week people should start to get them i hope. =\
  12. Wow, very interesting. I'm quite curious to see how this would work out. I think that you would have to run a SUPER small pulley because it would need to boost at lower RPMs. That seems like it would be the only issue to me...
  13. weird. I wish i knew more about car stereo stuff. There has to be a way to use the AUX port on the stereo. Do you have the manual? If not, I would just wait to talk to the dealer of the stereo rep. Just thought I would mention, My brother works for Creative Labs here in the states. =]
  14. Sorry mate!! That was a typo... =\ Yeah, the second batch will be in a few weeks I think. Or atleast until some of you guys get the first ones.
  15. Nice, I am so excited for you guys to get them. They turned out so great.
  16. Wow, that looks amazing. Keep up the clean work man.
  17. Alright guys, Shirts were shipped out today! I hope they all get there soon enough. My hands are tired from filling out all of the paperwork. So many international shipping forms/labels.
  18. Wow, Looks great. You overtook so many cars out there. Nice driving. Tough luck on the spin out. =]
  19. Sending them out today after I get off of work. I cant wait to hear how much you guys like them =]
  20. Alright guys the shirts are done. I am going to have them shipped out on Monday or Tuesday! Here is some physical proof they are done! The look perfect! The blue looks a bit brighter than it actually is because of the flash The Back The Sleve Soon guys VERY soon they will be in your hands. =]
