My first car, my first community, and some other stuff I've done.

Don't be too critical, I was still very much a kid in some of these vids.

If you have any questions or want to know more about a particular car, project, or video...feel free to ask...and yes I know my email address changes between the videos...I've got almost a decade covered here.

That vette is ridiculous, and I like the hondas that are all hitting mid 15s with slicks...

(I know, late reply but I haven't been on in awhile and I'm bored)

[samblaze]

That GSX is sweet!

[GrumpySteelMan]

The GSX owner keeps teasing me that we're going to put it back on the road. I hope...my goodness I hope.

Hey been meaning to ask you about tuning the Volvo motor in my boat (B230M). Want just a wee bit more power...any tips? I was leaning towards headers...

[GrumpySteelMan]

Actually I think I've got an NA performance cam laying around for one of those... it is a VX3.

Let me see how the marine specs differ. Stay with me on this.

Nice cycle stunts. I used to have so much fun back in Ks being the passenger stunt girl. Mostly just wheelies and endo's on the back or the tank, but it was fun! Only wrecked once and that was fun too!

[GrumpySteelMan]

Oh SHIT, I'd fuel inject that bitch, turbo, with a water to air IC.

K...my exhaust manifold is water cooled. I was wondering if cams were interchangeable too

[GrumpySteelMan]

Yeah the cams interchange. Here are some volvo cam specs.

Unless you have a sailboat with the penta as backup power, unlikely, you probably have that standard marine cam, which is pretty aggressive actually.

The alternative is a 'P' cam.

Hmm...how much a project would it be FI my motor? It would help the gph consumption too. Just filled the tank the other day $300...not sure how many boat 'tuners' there are out there...

[GrumpySteelMan]

If you'll snap some pictures of the engine bay for me, I'm pretty sure it wouldn't be hard at all.

I'll dig around some. I'm 100% sure I could do it with a $300 FI parts car and $200 for misc expenses.
