Sheesh are those plates still good? I haven't seen those in years .

Thanks for the heads up on the rebuild kit but i'm using a volvo EPS not the oem one. I mean i could fix the block if i truly wanted to and found the chunk that broke off but it's not worth my time.Let's see if i can get this car going by the end of the month 🤞

It happens. I found a long block in jersey already so hopefully within the next 2 weeks i can head out there to pick it up🤞

Figured i would update on the car since its been a few months. The power steering pump died and then i got another one from the seller which was DOA. So that turned into a fiasco which i eventually lost because i didn't return it in time and now i'm stuck with a dead pump. The car has just been...

Finally got caught up on the build since i seen you posting about driving the car. Congrats it's an amazing feeling. My E316 on e85 was my favorite turbo setup to date. Once you get it all dialed in it just makes you grin ear to ear when you get to drive it. I at times still debate on going back...

I just watched this. It's cool that more people learn about the platform but the fact that we have a stigma of being unreliable is annoying. I daily drove my talon for a decade with very few and far between problems.

Not the biggest thing but changed my shifter knob. I actually like the way it feels sitting a little higher versus the old weighted knob i had on prior.

Good luck with the build. Try and post a bit more frequently to get more engagement from some others.

Finally got around to ordering the volvo pump each time i slept on them on ebay they went up 50 bucks LOL. I ordered all the fittings. I'm going to actually include links for whoever is looking to do this to their car. It's not a new thing but i finally had time to do it and it's a nice upgrade...

Well after wiring it up and running the lines I got to test drive it and it seems fine while driving but it was raining tonight so I had the wipers on as well as the defroster and it was slightly idling low from the draw. I think I'll be fine, but I will start looking into some aftermarket...

I thought about the alternator. I'll see how much of a struggle it is with my 90 amp. I'm deciding between the 160 and 200 amp alt.

It's nice having power steering. In my 20s and even early 30s i didn't mind having depowered racks and manual racks but i'm past that point lol.Finally found a location i like. I ended up calling it a night after making this bracket because i'm already hearing the your still at the shop texts...
