Bought myself some for Christmas 😊 Thanks guys

Volvo 240GL was my first car in 1998, known as the 'love wagen', lost my virginity in it, 'drifted' it into a tree and reverse flicked it into a wall with 8 mates inside, hot boxed it and slept inside many times too drunk to drive. Parents wanted me to be safe...ideal choice then...haven't crashed since.

[@joshwilson3796]

The owner of the Lolvo is awesome on camera. Keep him going

[@VifferDude]

This channel is awsome. Like Mighty Car Mods, it's not just about cars. It's about a group of mates getting together and having a bit of fun and socializing. It's good to see the wife understands this a threaten to burn the car if you didn't go. Hope you support the misses in her interests. Top show fellas!

[@ewingfox6459]

What a fantastic video! I think my favorite part even better than the great storytelling excellent footage and very cool cars was the tempo that you created for the whole film. Everybody in KZbin is trying to rush -( I'm sure the algorithm doesn't help there!) But the chill music and editing did a wonderful job of conveying the story of fun weekend with good mates in the summer heat. This is your best work yet, boys - excited to see what 2020 brings for you!

[@theskidfactory]

Woody puts a lot of hours into the edit of these videos to try and capture the vibe, I am sure he will appreciate your positive comments, thanks - Al.

[@bostedtap8399]

Second that 👍.

[@statementleaver8095]

Agreed! I just can't take woody seriously with those shades on 24:10 lol EDIT Pete thank you for bringing us Skid Factory viewers great entertainment in the form of a fast lolvo.

"I can build his drag car but i cant packup his tent.... logic bro" lost it 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@Neffers_UK]

My mate was into Volvo. He had a T5. That thing felt like it was going 5 MPH when doing 30, it always felt slow. But when he hammered it, it would send. A 240 estate saved my wife's life, as she was in it during a fatal. The other party died, poor fella. I have a bit of respect for Volvos.

leaving the roof racks on is the icing on the cake :P

Production and editing is off the hook Woody - great video 👍👍👍

[@prfxshnst]

Woody churning out episodes like a boss!

[@984francis]

The only time I've been down a dragstrip was on a mates Kawasaki 750/4 (Not H2) and I managed very close to Pete's PB. I can't remember the ET (somewhere in the low 7s) but the max was right on 100. I was amazed he let me and I think he was amazed that I was stupid enough to give it all the beans. All these guys have terrific camaraderie and sense of humour, really great.

[@yousifalsaad5056]

music selection is top notch, every transition to a new track is as awesome as the one before it. good job!!

[@jordsnissannx]

And what a day this was!!!! First and only time so far meeting Al and getting to race against that Volvo, was super fun, will never forget it even though I wasn't driving my own car lol

[@MrButtonpresser]

Woody kills with the editing! Brilliant.

[@brucemacdonald5532]

The turbo flutter from the Lolvo is just the best!

Normally wagons have the Woody on the outside, not the inside. That gives me an idea... anyone got an occy strap?

Wayne Clement for some reason the act of staging would kill it, it would go on 10 times in a row in the lanes, roll into staging and it wouldn’t work right

[@MrParker300]

Got you well and truly covered on the tyres there. Mine are 16 years old 18x235 on my tt 300zx. Yes they still look good. But so hard that spinning everywhere is the name of the game. wooo Could only run a 13.5 on them. But switched to good rubber and did 12.7 straight away. The 16 year old tyres have got about 5000kms life left on them :)

[@wurlycorner]

Woody in full on chilled zen mode with the editing on this one, love the way he manages to capture the vibe so well (just as he did with the US drag week stuff too) Top work 😎😎😎👍 (But suspense... Surely you have to introduce the lovely lady with the great taste in T-shirts? 😍)

Heads up... try taking the basket off the roof of that volvo. It's like pulling a parachute. My son had one on his truck and when we took it off it was like a different vehicle. Regardless, good work guys!

[@Brock_Landers]

That 1UZFE handled alot of boost and alot of abuse, gotta give it up for a stock engine. It makes good useable power and was strong enough to destroy the rear diff. I've never boosted a V8, plenty of 4 cylinders and a couple V6s in my life, but I did make 408 whp in a bone stock non-VTEC B18B1 Integra engine with an eBay turbo in my EJ8 Civic coupe.

[@zedthehun]

At some point could you guys talk about rear mount turbos, I've seen a couple of tubes where the guys say they work better than the internutz wise men think.

[@nordic5490]

Rear mount = massive lag and terrible spool response, other than that, they work.

[@zedthehun]

@@nordic5490 Yeah. They say no real lag if done right.

[@nordic5490]

@@zedthehun 100% incorrect mate. Why do you reckon there isn't a single competitive race car with a rear mount ? Think about it. The turbo has to build pressure in entire pipe system to rear mount = lag city. Ie, the exhaust needs to build eg 90psi pre turbine in the entire pipe before the desired, eg 35psi can be made in the intake manifold. More pipe= more volume to pressurise and more time needed to to make that pressure - @and that is just the turbine side. The compressor then need to build pressure, and guess what, surprise, surprise, the same principles apply here, more pipe = greater volume to pressurise = greater time to build pressure. Larger exhaust side and intake side volume = more lag. The issue is compounded. What do I know ? A 800hp daily FG Falcon Turbo Barra owner here. All diy. Short piping and the smallest IC to make you target power is the way for snappy boost response. Unless of course you like lag.

[@zedthehun]

@@nordic5490 So you have done it? Im just taking the word of guys who have. Who is building a race car?

[@nordic5490]

@@zedthehun I built a 800hp daily driver FG XR6T, goes great, 24psi on e85, not laggy at all. What did you build mate ? sfa? I have yet to see a successful race car with a rearmount turbo. If you have, perhaps you can post a link - Im all for being amazed.
