Mr. Prime Minister Posts: 663 Group: Admin Member #1 Joined: May 10, 2006 Origin Board VPTuning Name Sean Location Denton	The 240 epic failed emissions testing today. NOx was more than 3 times the limit . I'm thinking there is a leak somewhere upstream of the cat converter.

TX Board Vet Posts: 218 Group: Members Member #52 Joined: January 8, 2008	So I'm down here in Austin... Wondering whether or not to go to the Monument Cafe thing in Georgetown. I'm kind of tired of driving for the moment!! Northbound I-35 looks pretty hellish too.. I passed a bunch of Volvos on the way down, I don't know if it is anyone in the VCOA though, just normal FWD 1993+ stuff.

So...I get to swap the tranny this weekend. What fun! Edited by swiftjustice44, Mar 13 2010, 02:46 PM.

Mr. Prime Minister Posts: 663 Group: Admin Member #1 Joined: May 10, 2006 Origin Board VPTuning Name Sean Location Denton	And the job search continues. Nationstar mortgage called me about a call center collections job. I said no thanks. It barely pays more than what I make right now and requires me to drive to Lewisville. Everyone tells me that working in a call center will suck my soul dry in a matter of months. I applied for a customer service job with Enkei (yes, the wheel company) in Roanoke, a copy/print shop manager job with Staples in Southlake, and a buyer/procurement job w/ OHL in Flower Mound today. I figure that the best thing I can do is just check the job search sites every day and just apply for as many things that I meet the requirements for. The law of averages will hopefully play out and I can get some decent leads.

My little brother is going off to college and my parents are buying him a 4x4... so I'll be getting his '98 black C70 coupe.

I'm not worried about it, although I appreciate the advice. I'm already trading up for a much nicer car at no cost to me. I'd just like to make it as clean a swap/sale as possible.

I have OEM headlights now after being hit in the front. Taking all the stuff off and putting stock stuff or swapping over from the C70 would just be more work than I'm interested in doing. Only thing I plan to take from the 850 is the MBC.

Member with nothing better to do Posts: 147 Group: Members Member #1,827 Joined: March 8, 2009	Wrecked the 850. Again. This time it was my fault- didn't see a Ford Ranger in my blind spot when I changed lanes. It's pretty much fine, except for the driver's side door, but I'm not putting another dime into it. Insurance will cover the repair, but I'm not paying the deductible. Anyone interested in it for like $1500? Brand new rebuilt top end, etc...
