Videos to come 

8-9-2015

Well havn't updated in a while..... But yes i do shoot flames apparently!! Bout to strap my go pro on and see if i can catch any lol.

Anyways heres what i have done lately

1. Thought about black and carbon fiber interior conversion next year

2. Made my final engine plans

3. Bought some 235/40/18 Pilot Sport 3's 

4. Burnt Exhaust tip

5. C.Foster racing decal- www.trackdecals.com

6. The front lip i bought doesnt fit..So i'm buying airjordans and the sport steering wheel

Well, I am upgrading other things not just getting the tune.
**Little bit of info**
- Both T5 and 2.4i cars stock fuel systems are perfectly capable of handling an E85 tune.
- T5 is easy to tune with the ECU... 2.4i is a huge PITA, Denso sucks!!!

What i'm doing is getting :
- Port Matched intake manifold
- 510cc Injectors
- Walboro 255 fuel pump
- ARD E85 tune

The expected gains of my car with that setup is + 25-30whp and +10-15wtq
Not many people know this but ARD Has been working hard on their 2.4i . But no one knows about it. I barely know about it. They've tested all kinds of stuff but he doesnt share it with anyone..
The E85 maps for people to buy off the shelf are almost ready. Right after me, all you 2.4i guys can thank me!!!

Wow, I never update swedespeed anymore. So sorry guys. Sadly, nothing else has changed on the car really and its probably going to stay that way unless things change . We shall see.
But anyways heres some pics to drool over.

I went to Import Aliiance 2 weekends ago and got on the drag strip.... 17 Second quarter mile. LMAO!!!



I installed a transmission cooler also.
And i have also removed all of the orange peel and its swirl free any looks amazingggggggg.

Ironically... 3 days agter that dyno pull, the original motor blew up LOL

Not from that though, it was because for 2 1/2 years everyday i got into the car and hit rev limiter at least 20 times a day.
Honestly after two years of hard beating like that I didn't break anything until i spun a rod bearing! Pretty good if you ask me lol

This new motor hasn't seen above 6000rpm tho. Keepin it safe hahh.


Ask for my exhaust... At that time it was CATTED with 1 resonator and no muffler

Now, i have it CATLESS with 2 resonators and a muffler.

Its ALOT less louder but has a tiny bit more rasp. Backfire from hell though just as usual lol.

And in case nobody follows my Instagram ... I bought a 1996 850R

There's a lot of information I could put about it but just know that it's an original car with absolutley no mods.

Well... Now it has mods, but up until a month agout was a virgin lol.
I'll be posting more information when i get the chance!

Havn't really done any mods at all to the S40. Just driving the balls off of it!

2-29-2016

Well, the time has finally come to start doing more mods to the car. After a long drawn out decision I've decided to keep it and have fun with it. It's paid off, and getting to that point where I can upgrade things as they go bad.
So... I have made a big list of plans for the car (again), but won't be posting them for a while. It involves a standalone ECU and a Procharger I'll tell you that much lol.

Anyways, here's what I did recently.

1. New Wheels and tires! FINALLY AFTER 2 YEARS! They are:

Dvinci (Styluz) M537's -- 18 x 8.5--ET40--Tires are 245/40/18's
I have 10mm Spacers up front and 15mm in the rear! Final offset: Front ET30 -- Rear ET25
No I do not rub! My rear fenders are rolled and pulled (very slightly)





I also bought a R-Design European Gauge Cluster from user @Robspec on here ! Thanks for the hook up man! (Even though its a diesel)

This is a direct plug and play and it works! Since it's a diesel the RPM gauge is lower. But once plugged into a gas car, the tach acts like its in a gas car. So it displays 4500rpm as the redlimit, when the ca is actually at 6500rpm





That is all for now

Just wanted to give yall some updates!! I will be on here more frequently now that I have some time to myself. There is much more to come so as usual, Stay tuned
