Ultimate Street Legal Sleeper! on 2040-cars
Aylett, Virginia, United States
I was kinda bored with the normal swaps that've been done so I did
something different. Mazda 2.3 engine with forged internals backed by a
ford ranger 5 speed automatic transmission with an Electromotive TecGT
ECU and Powertrain Control Solutions TCU. The car starts via a touch
sensitive start button from Phantom Electronics, the gear selection is
also automated via push buttom shifter from PCS. Suspension up front
uses cut IPD sport springs around Bilsten HD dampers and Kaplhenke top
mounts. The front control arms are lightweight cro-moly tig-welded units
from Kaplhenke Racing also.
The rear suspension is all kaplhenke as well with no rubber bushings, all solid end's on 4130 tubes. The rear has been converted to coilovers with Koni yellow dampers and Eibach 250lb 10" springs. Fuel system consists of an Aeromotive 340lph "stealth" intank pump feeding a Walbro 255lph inline pump in serial, feed line is -6 aluminum going to a -6 Russell fuel filter, and AEM fuel pressure regulator. Custom made fuel rail with Siemens Deka IV 60lb/hr injectors. Base pressure is set at 50psi. Engine block is from a 2009 Mazda3, stock crank, balancers removed and blocked with a STEEL block-off. Eagle rods, CP 8.5:1 pistons, ARP main studs, ARP head studs, Cometic head gasket and Crower Valve springs with titanium retainers. The intake manifold and plumbing is all custom made, I made the intake from Ross Machine Racing parts, to get it all to fit I had to remove the vac. brake booster. The turbo header is actually for a honda, but I chopped the honda head flange off and used a mazda flange. Turbo is a brand new Garrett GT3071R with a .82 exhaust housing and the big 4" inlet. Intercooler is 12x24x3 with custom elbows tig welded to the inlet and outlet to minimize intake coupler length. Wastegate and Blow off valve are Tial units which were purchased new at the start of this project. Exhaust is all 3" stainless with 3 v-band connections for easy removal. The first muffler is a 3" magnaflow stainless muffler under the passenger, and the back muffler is a 3" inlet Borla with 2-2.5" outlets that exit in the stock location. The car is actually pretty quiet and does not drone going down the road despite having 3" tubing. The entire exhaust is stainless, this cost a lot of money to custom make, but I did it all myself so.... The interior is mostly stock with a few added gauges. The two front seats are Corbeau Forza with sliders I purchased from corbeau circa 2003? The stock chassis wiring harness has been completely removed in favor of a Painless Wiring kit, the fuse panel has been relocated to the glovebox with blade fuses instead of the old ceramic euro fuses. Power windows all work. *few details I've had questions about* There is an innovate wideband controller and sensor wired into the car, there is also a LED display that I installed into the stock dashboard made by SDS EFI. There is also an onboard EGT monitoring system by PCS, one channel per cylinder is used, it can log up to 8 channels, but I'm currently only using 4. All of the egt module signals are sent via CAN to the Dashlogger and can be logged and displayed on the dashboard or on a graph via laptop. The gear selector is electronic push button operated and you can find more info on it @ www.ptcs.us. This car was probably the first car to ever test this gear select module in daily use. It's a very quick responding precise unit and it retails for over $1k. It's a really awesome conversational piece at car shows. A few people asked about the condition of the interior and exterior, and my reply was.. I'm not selling a show car I'm mainly selling a really nice drivetrain, electronics and high end heim joint suspension with a shitbox wrapping it all together. If you attempted to purchase all of the parts I purchased brand new to build this car, you'd be in the area of $25k+ before labor... this is a steal since it's been assembled and tuned. The radiator is a ebay unit for a mustang with a custom made shroud for two 12" fans. Optima red top battery relocated to the trunk There is a jegs trans cooler with -6 ends mounted in front of the intercooler. The cooler lines are crimped stainless braided lines made at parker hose. Turbo oil feed and is a -4 and drain is a -10 parker made hose (the drain was 60 bucks alone!) ***Wiring schematics are included with the car (I tried to make this build as easy to service as possible)*** This car is not a joke, at 60% throttle it blows the rear tires off on the 1-2 shift, at 100% throttle it barks the tires hard on the 2-3 shift. It's not a car you can hop in and floor the throttle with. It's currently tuned at 20psi on pump fuel and it's almost fast enough to scare me. Serious inquiries only. Cash talks I may accept a partial trade for a street bike or drag car and cash. |

European new car sales drop nearly 8% in first half of 2019
Thu, Jul 18 2019PARIS — European car sales dropped 7.9% in June, led by bigger declines for Nissan, Volvo and Fiat Chrysler (FCA), according to industry data published on Wednesday. Registrations fell to 1.49 million cars last month from 1.62 million a year earlier across the European Union and EFTA countries, the Brussels-based Association of European Carmakers said in a statement. Calendar effects resulted in two fewer sales days in most markets, accentuating the decline. Registrations for the first half closed 3.1% lower, ACEA said. For European carmakers, weakening demand at home compounds the pressure from a sharper contraction in China and emerging markets that may yet bring more profit warnings. NissanÂ’s aging model lineup contributed to a 26.6% June sales slump while Volvo Cars, owned by ChinaÂ’s Geely, saw deliveries tumble 21.7%. Registrations also fell 13.5% last month at FCA, 10.1% at BMW, 9.6% at Volkswagen Group and 8.2% for both Mercedes parent Daimler and FranceÂ’s PSA Group. The Peugeot makerÂ’s domestic rival Renault suffered less, posting a 3.9% decline. By the Numbers BMW Chrysler Fiat Nissan Volkswagen Volvo Peugeot Renault
Sunday Drive: An automotive flavor for every taste
Sun, Feb 25 2018Last week was flush with interesting new vehicle debuts, led by the new 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe. This crossover is entering straight into the heart of one of the world's most competitive automotive segments, and it's doing so with a fresh sense of style and a brace of new technologies. Our readers are clearly intrigued – the Santa Fe was the biggest news story of the last week on these online pages. It's fitting that a crossover generated a lot more interest than a traditional wagon, though we don't really have to be happy about it. Still, the completely new, fully redesigned Volvo V60 is worth taking another look at. First of all, it's pretty, in a traditionally Scandinavian way. Second, it's quick, with a 0-60 time of as little as 4.8 seconds. And finally, it's practical, with all kinds of room for cargo without the dynamic penalties of an unnecessary lift kit. Moving on from new vehicle debuts, we took another long look at the Honda Ridgeline. It's definitely a non-conformist pickup truck, based not on a body-on-frame platform but on a more carlike unibody design. That means it can't tow as much as some other trucks, but it also means the Ridgeline drives better than any of its more truckish competitors. It's the Swiss army knife of pickup trucks. Rounding out our coverage from last week are three sets of spy photos, each showing the interior of a hotly anticipated new model. One is a truck, one is a crossover, and the last is a sportscar. All of them are worth another look. As always, stay tuned to Autoblog this week for all the most important news in the automotive world. 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe unveiled 2019 Volvo V60 | Sleek, swift new twist on the Swedish wagon 2018 Honda Ridgeline | Pocketknife pickup is up for anything 2019 GMC Sierra interior looks just like the Silverado's 2019 Cadillac XT4 interior has actual buttons, no more touch-sensitive panel 2020 Porsche 911 992 spy shots show interior and manual transmission Cadillac GMC Honda Hyundai Porsche Volvo Truck Crossover Wagon Luxury Performance Sedan hyundai santa fe
Volvo pranks newest valet on the Italian Riviera
Wed, 24 Sep 2014Being a valet on the Italian Riviera seems like a pretty sweet gig for a young guy. Not only do you get to watch beautiful people coming and going all day and night, but there's the opportunity to get behind the wheel of a plethora of exotic sports cars. Of course, being responsible for those expensive vehicles has to be pretty nerve wracking to get used to on the first day.
In a new commercial, Volvo pranks a new valet at the San Remo Casino to see how he would handle a surprise showing up on the red carpet. If the look on his face in the screenshot above doesn't show it, he's pretty shocked by what he sees. We don't want to spoil the reveal, so just watch the ad to find out. Afterward, if you're interested in the details behind how Volvo made it happen, you can check out a short, making-of documentary, here.
