[heterosapien69]

@heterosapien69

Built another car with a solid drive train....its even a wagon :)

[heterosapien69]

@masterchimself problem solved...now destroy some tires :)

[MrSpeedking13]

Combi or sedan?

[BMWe30nb]

Look at the window! It is dancing"

[hellboyXsas]

So your gearbox is fucked?

[masterchimself]

@hellboyXsas

Yup'. The stock transmission isn't very strong. Most guys swap a t-5 in.

[hellboyXsas]

I see.

[hellboyXsas]

Im sorry dude, i didnt ment to be angry! But is there something wrong with ur car since u need to shift so often?

[masterchimself]

@hellboyXsas I'm not shifting. I had to to hold the shifter in gear. If i didn't the car would slip out of gear.

[hellboyXsas]

You stupid fuck! Why are u only using one arm when you drift?

[masterchimself]

@hellboyXsas Why so angry :P

Had to hold the car in gear with my other hand

[omfgimback]

everyone starts somewhere :)

[Tuskanr]

you need less one hand correcting. In my experience in the wet and snow, is to let go of the steering wheel and just catch it mid slide and go from there. Worked great so far. Also worked with rallying.

[masterchimself]

@Tuskanr Yeah last event i was letting it correct itself. Don't now why i wasn't this time around. Have to only use one hand because the car would slip out of gear unless you held the shifter down. This thing was GHETTO! I appreciate the advice!

[Tuskanr]

@masterchimself hehe I know alll about ghetto, I was drifting a 200 dollar car.

[keeevan]

I might be buying a 740 turbo tommorow what should i be lookin for in terms of shit that should be breaking down at around 250k

[masterchimself]

Eee....the motors are hella strong...but i would still check compression. The rear main seals seem to go out alot. The turbo isn't too hard to swap but check for smoking. If it's a manual....the transmissions suck...and the electronic overdrive is the first thing to go.

[Aussay6]

you cant drift for shit

[masterchimself]

I don't recall ever saying i was that good at it. No need to be an ass hat. I was just sharing my first drifting experience.

[monkeyboy866]

Damn dude, you are lucky, I got a Mercury Tracer wagon for 700 behind my parents' back as my first car, then it got towed just as I was going to show it to them, then I ended up spending about 1k for a car.. I wish I got a 740 turbo wagon..

[monkeyboy866]

300 for getting it back from impound lot.

[emil3hansen]

how much horsepower did u have? about 250?

[masterchimself]

I never hard it dynoed or anything...but under 200hp for sure. I would imagine at the crank i might have been making 180. When i opened the motor up the head had lots of issue and the exhaust manifold had been leaking pretty bad.

[jbz86]

its got heaps of under steer

[boostfreak777]

240 740 940 rwd

[jakep2007]

dude thats pretty impressive for your 3rd event. im sure youre a hell of a lot better. im gonna look at the rest of your videos hopefully youre a drift king by now =-P

[masterchimself]

Thanks man. Actually haven't been to an event since that one (messed up the car). I'm building a 240 wagon w/ a sbc...just haven't gotten that far yet.

[jakep2007]

ouch. that kinda stinks... but on the other hand that's pretty sick. well good luck and keep the videos coming i would like to see more of them.

[bomexsaturn]

what did you do with the cbv?

[masterchimself]

the older ones are rwd

[megaderk]

arent volvos FWD? or are they rear?

[CiaoKnasen]

the 900-series are the last rearwheel driven volvos

[czarli]

keep practicing
