    My buddy owns that Lexus GS300 on Works. That thing is mental. Also, that datsun makes some decent HP for how tiny of a chassis it is.

    Yeah, we had acouple scary moments with her breathing (lack there of) after eating. Size wise - she's great for 4 weeks early (7lb 9oz) so it's really just getting eating/breathing and her blood sugar sorted. Best of luck for you and your wife!!!

    I'm looking at getting another this year. Our race sled has seen better days. And doesn't make for much fun on the trails... =\ So I've been keepin' my eye's peeled.

    It will be worth the day drive to go from Denver to at least Breckenridge and back. 70 West from Denver has some incredible roads/views.

    I have seen that stuff a lot lately. It is referred to as nano coating by some. There are a few dealers that offer to spray it on your car for an extra cost when you are buying new. My uncle just bought a new Forester and took the option. It was pretty pricey IIRC.

    Knowing these parts will break they should not do 1600whp for any customer with out upgrading all stock parts that are known to break. Me and you know better and expect that to happen but rich people that own these cars are not really mechanically inclined and just think everthing should work properly when spending $150k on upgrades. To me its a dumb decision on Dallas Performance for doing it that way. I don't know what to make out of all of this. But I bet not everything the customer stated it false and they did not do everything right. Like the owner stating the oil viscosity, that would not make that big of a difference in oil pressure to make an issue. Take a e60 m5 for example, oem is 10-60w. Although anyone in the know, knows you should use gibbs racing oil 5w30. Which is a big difference and is actully better for the motor due to the s85's known bearing clearance issue. But you dont get any oil pressure issues or such. Still would not bring my car to DP after seeing this.

    Recently I helped my brother replace the timing belt and water pump on his '04 V70 AWD.  Super nice car, his has 165k on it now.  The belt replacement was one of the easiest timing belt jobs I have done.  The only thing I didn't like is the timing marks are not as easy to see as ones on an m20.  The cam marks are actually on the removable plastic cover.  We replaced the belt, tensioner, idler, and water pump.  It took about 5 and a half hours, and he did most of it, my brother has never done anything like this so a couple guys that knew what they were doing could do it in under 4 hours for sure. [image: 003\_zpsd6111d43.jpg] [image: 002\_zpsfc06e490.jpg] We also replaced the upper engine torque mount, the OE one was pretty trashed, there was so little rubber intact that I was able to push the center out with my thumbs. [image: 006\_zpseb2e7c25.jpg] Replaced it with an IPD poly bushing, and limiter shim things on the strut tower/engine brace. [image: 005\_zps68162ec1.jpg] [image: 004\_zps0d7353f2.jpg] It is a really nice car, when our Maxima dies someday I think a post facelift V70 would be a great family car.
