NW WA Meet / BS Thread

I had a 940 turbo that I did a lot of work to

 

I’m kind of keeping my eyes peeled for an older 850 Turbo Wagon. Just trying to get an idea of things to look for when I’m hunting for one(problem areas, etc)

 

I've ran a Volvo L180 front end loader a bit and also a Volvo ex300 excavator.

I'm guessing your talking about cars.

 

I had an 850R wagon back in the day. They're pretty much bullet proof. Look for all the normal used car stuff like oil leaks, brake wear, AC blowing cold, etc.

It's probably high mileage by now, so listen carefully to the turbo, it shouldn't sound like a dentist drill. Also check for whether or not the car blows black smoke on acceleration. That's either bad seals in the turbo, or a clogged up PCV system that will need replacement. The oil return line for the turbo is a common place for leaks also, it's pretty easy to fix though. Also, the timing belts need to be done every 80k miles or so on those.

First and Jackson

 

What he said, also, if there’s a rhythmic chatter when you accelerate it’s a bad bearing in the turbo. Vacuum leaks are really common and we’re a lot of problems can be fixed so don’t be afraid if it doesn’t have the smoothest idle but runs really good just plan on chasing and replacing vacuum lines

 

Awesome thank you, exactly the kind of info I was looking for.

 

Do you ever pick up the posse at 23rd and Jackson?

 

I dont know what that means

 

After picking up the posse I take a left on 23rd and union, then shout BROADWAY ITS TIME TO GET DEAF!

 

Nails on a chalkboard.

 

Dicks is the place where the cool hang out
The swass like to play and the rich flount clout

I wonder what Broadway was like back then? Certainly must have been different from today.

 

I'd wager about the same, just less homeless people and way cooler hair styles.

 

c'mon man...

 

IM NOT FROM HERE

 

Nope, same amount of homeless people, just less tech bros and soccer moms

 

And Mixalot was only big in Seattle?

I just makes me wiser than you.
