Damn.. @ the local 'store' I've heard they are about $10 a seedling. A few months of attention and I'd have $5800 to spend on a suspension . Sounds like a proper investment strategy.

Does this mean I can get spares for the Audi?

Thank you for your inquiry.
We have contact the proper authorities and your question will be answered in order to your need, and according to your abilities.

(In other words when we get an answer---the big deal is we must be able to mix body lengths and shaft travel to what is out there so we need to see dimesnions....waiting)

In his defense, first and last names are easily googled when posted on things like forums and some my not want them so easily found. He could be spy!

The one rule requiring a full (real) name wouldn't be a bother to a spy. They don't operate with real names anyway. (I'd tell you how I know that but I'd have to kill you after)

Since everyone seems to be more intrested in my full name rather than the topic of this thread...there its is for all you cry babys haha

Let me be first to welcome Greg Stary Kurva, or is that Stary Biku?

(Some of us know a little more than angielski)

LOL !! I thought if any one would catch that it would be JVL. Good one on the alternate too John.

Man lot of interest, 3 Subies run by Polish guys in Chicago alone in the last 2 days, an Audi in Portland, Martin Walter with his 240 Nissan in Ontario, and several others.....

I have emailed Brett at Bilstein and called a couple of hours ago asking about separate inserts and what lengths overall for what actual travel so we have to wait for answers.

I will go count up how many of the lower tubes are already done and check about how many spring seats and lock rings and upper seats there are remaining..gotta gear up it looks like.

Let's keep this going.....

I'll probably be looking for 2 volvo fronts (and rear towers, and maybe some of those other volvo goodies you make) around May or June. I've already gotten one job offer for when I graduate, so I will have a job, its just a question of where.

The one offer I've gotten so far is in Appleton, WI, about 4 hours south of Houghton. I have one interview lined up down by Grand Rapids and one in Iron Mountain, which is in the UP. I also interviewed at a local place that I'm crossing my fingers for. They do wireless telemetry in engines. Thermocouples in piston crowns, strain gauges on connecting rods, etc. The circuitry is all powered wirelessly and the data is transmitted wirelessly so they can run the engines with these sensors in them and collect real time data on their two in-house engine dynos. The only problem is they're not really looking to hire anyone right now, but liked me enough to interview me anyways. Currently I'm trying to work out an independent study thing to get some credits and work for them part time next semester hoping that it will increase the chances of them hiring me. Lots of benefits to staying local for us, like FY Racing letting me use their shop to build the volvo, and 20 acres of land to build a house on. And my wife, who is a nurse, just interviewed for a different position at the local hospital that would pay 1.75x as much as shes getting now. So we've got lots of fingers crossed.

Well good luck Carl, home is good. And the woods are just right outside of town...

Stay in touch on the build.

Happy Winter Solstice

There's a guy who used to run at PPIHC who put beefed up rear glass struts on his Ford Bronco to create downforce...apparently there wasn't anything in the rules that said you had to race with your trunk closed. LOL
