Flying up friday to Massachusetts to grab me some square turbo sweetness. Gonna drive it stock for a while and make it nice, then boost it till it blows up, then don't be surprised if a V8 finds its way in and it becomes a GRM project car.

Also, check out the soon-to-be-released May GRM, the details of my TEIN Type RE install are detailed therein.

The R and the 745 T/ic... They'll be fine stablemates...

 

h0ttness.

:B0X:

-please say it has a M46

 

What's with ITR owners and turbo "Bricks"?

lol, brick, i like that

 

najs b0lb0 y0!

y shi - who lusts after the v70R w0gin

 

dats BLINGN y0! Those things are sweet for rallying, good luck with it

 

Actually Will, i think it's an M47, the push-button OD had failed at like 120k and he had his friendly volvo tech replace it with "a 5-speed from a 240". But yeah, it's got 3 pedals, that was one of my requirements (and why i'm taking the trouble to fly to freakin Massachusetts from Florida for it)

 

Scott has beaten me to get the Volly. Next one i see, when i get outta debt, will be mine.

 

Nice steering wheel Looks to be plenty of grip there.

 

m47 =
m46 = more better IMO....

the overdrive suxzors.... but I have had luck with mine.

I suggest a Mustang T5 tranny swap.


Looks good no matter.... a stick 74x series turblow is almost as rare as a 242 turblow w/factory intercooler.

Love that OD Will

 

yeah, odds are good for a T5 tranny somdeay, mated to a 5.0 or something. we'll see, first order of business is i hope it gets me back to Fla.

Then finding a really loud blow-off valve.

 

BOV has to be MADD loud.

 

Nyce find! I will find an old-skool turbo brick one of these days, to go along with my pair of B23's. And if you want to sell those wheels, gimme a holler

In the meantime, welcome to the club

ps - http://www.vcoa.org . Your local stealership should give you a discount on parts, which will offset your annual dues

Girl in Irvine has that "special edition" R80 or something 80 wagon..
It's red with gunmetal wheels "dropped" and it's bone stock.. definately looks good..

 

Sweet...

Nick - who just learned lots about Turbo Bricks from the latest edition of GRM

 

There used to be a guy up here in MA that did the timing for the SCCA autocross events that had a 240 wagon, robins egg blue, go-kart in the back, and a 5.0. That car was quick.

Crank up the boost, get a loud BOV and have some fun.

Congrats on the buy. If you need any help getting from the airport to the car or finding some dinner let me know. I would be happy to help a fellow R owner out.

Matt

 

Thanks for the help offer, I think i've got everything covered, and if something breaks en route, between the GRM message board people and other hype-R owners, I think i'll have help within 20 miles of just about anywhere.

If you see a grey b00stbox on the road with a GRM sticker in the back window on 95 South this weekend, flash me a gang symbol or something.
