I will be upgrading the axle in the twin turbo car here shortly but am still undecided about what unit will be going in. I know the 8.8 will be adequate for what the car and I will be doing, but I really like the idea of a 9" and having a different gear set/ratio on standby just in case. What...

This Saturday 5/29 at my home track is one of my favorite shows/race days. It started out as a VW/Audi event, and have watched it grow out of 3 smaller venues. It has since become a great show for all cars. The event moved to Thompson Raceway in Thompson, OH a few years ago. Proceeds go to the...

Since the fuel gauge in the 740 doesn't work, and I have the tank torn down for the fuel pump upgrade I figured I would dissect the level sender. All the wiring checked out with a multimeter so I moved on to the float assembly and found that at the bottom of one of the resistor rods that the...

I have a Meling 10296 High Vol. oil pump for my twin turbo LS1 rebuild as was wondering if I should also install the High pressure spring that comes with it? Plumbing for the turbos will consist of; Oil cooler adapter, about 9' -4 line, Setrab stacked oil cooler, TurboSmart oil pressure...

Here is my attempt at a project thread. Please bear with me. Back in 2015 a good friend of mine was ready to purchase his first Volvo, and a fellow member (Svenski) informed me of a super clean '88 744 turbo at his Volvo dealership. My friend and I went to look at the car and he knew he...

I was planning on attending both of these events this year, but that obviously didn't happen. Luckily it has given me more time to focus on reliability so I can make the 1000mi trek of Drag Week with as few issues as possible. Both event dates are TBD at this point, but I am confident that...

What's up everyone? Hope your holidays were great. Car: '88 744, 5.7 LS1, Twin Turbo, T56. The ABS pump has been removed, and I will be cleaning up the brake lines soon. my main question is if there is any difference between the ABS/Non-ABS front brake calipers as far as stopping power goes? I...

If I hard wire the main fuel pump to diagnose an intermitent problem, will I have any issues other than losing the "inertia switch" function that would shut off fuel in the event of an accident? I am trying to diagnose a annoyingly intermitent problem with power to fuel going away. I have...

Did ipd discontinue the RWD Pegasus wheels? I dont see them on the website anymore :(

I just moved from Sacramento, CA to Cleveland, OH about two months ago and will be picking up a new brick. Are there any of you guys around here, or am I alone? lol.

So i went and hunted down the "newest" most flexible engine harness i could find at pnp. It was cut right where the AFM wires leave the harness. there are two wires that appear to be self-grounding that need to be spliced. On my old harness one is black and one is green. The new harness has two...

I just went to all 3 PNPs in my area, and couldn't find one. I'm hoping I can find one before noon on Sunday. I'm supposed to be leaving for a family trip to Tahoe. Any leads? :-)

So today i was driving my new purchase home ('84 244gl AT), when it suddenly died. I coasted into a nearby parking, lot and started troubleshooting. I discovered the springloaded contact point in the dist cap was broken, as it fell out of the cap. Two spark plug wires were only pushed into the...

So I unexpectedly got today off today. Since I had nothing to do... I decided to tint the windows on my 245. I did 4% on the rear 5 windows, 55% on the front roll-ups, and a signal enabling 70% on the windshield. Now I have a bit more privacy and a sexier looking brick. I will be posting pics...

So if my overdrive solenoid is bad.. then there isnt any way to bypass it unless I buy the part from ipd? Anyone in the Sacramento area with one to sell? Lol

Whats up guys!? So I'm am once again a Volvo owner :-) '90 240dl Wagon. Straight trade for a '94 Camry

So I had a lapse in my auto insurance (9 days). Sunday night while in the in 'n' out drive thru getting a milk shake, a placer county sheriff decided that he was hungry too. Between the order box and the two windows, he ran my plates and saw that dmv put a hold on my insurance. As soon as I get...

Ok so I have a 1993 940 Sedan na at w/ 150k miles. I am either trading it for 1 of 2 cars, or buying 1 of the 2 cars. The first is a 1991 780 turbo at w/ 175k, or... a 83 242 at w/ 183k. What do you guys think? both have straight bodies and good paint, but both have fair interior.

So last night I discovered that the rear window of my car is laminated... Parked by a train tressle and a rock or something got kicked up and wham! I priced a new one at $600. Holy ****. I can only imagine how difficult it is to pull a good one out w/o cracking it.

I broke the grommet for my kickdown cable on my aw70 where it goes into the trans casting. Do I have to replace the whole cable or can I source just the grommet?
