It was like poetic justice that the hubcap flew off at the first 10 second pass.
Haha I agree, it was perfect!
Absolutely killed me 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Hubcap was like "nah bro that's too fast I'm out"
😆😆
@@_Gingium_ Take the roof bars off they cause drag
@@mclarenjohnf1 wouldn't look as sleepery tho
If you're seeing voltage drop at higher rpms I'd recommend replacing the alternator pulley for a bigger one. I've killed 3 alternators by over spinning them. Now I can do 7k+ rpm pulls back to back without worries.
Well done my bud 💪🏼 so stoked you finally hit the 10 second mark! That transmission was a much needed upgrade.
Absolutely!
This has been a long time coming! So glad to see the Volvo ripping, I know you don’t want to do it yet but if you ever come to re-build the turbo system because of the back pressure or restriction issues from the last video, you should go to a simple twin turbo system, it’s more money but the fab is allot simpler and that 1000hp goal will be allot more achievable!
Thank you brotha! So happy this car is finally performing.
Twin turbos is definitely a good and easier option for HP and performance, but It'll be a lot harder to keep it sleeper and fit it all in the engine bay with valves and such.
@@_Gingium_ yes very true hard to keep all that hidden, people might get suspicious if there are two bulges on the hood haha
Stop throwing the shifter. Commit to the shift and don't take your hand off the shifter until you know it's in gear. You'll stop missing gears (as often)
This makes it sound so easy... And guess what, it is. But getting there is the hard part. But yea, do some slow runs while really concentrating on feeling the shifter. Get a feel for how it engages, how the synchronization works and how the gear teeth match up. Then speed it up.
Yeah, a little less drama on the shifts (shifting and clutch), smooth and deliberate, it will come with practice.
You yanks always feel like you have to "smash" it into gear with aggressive action. Smooth shifting is due to precise engagement/release of clutch and location of shifter. It's hard af to.donthat when you're trying to reef the the fuckin shifter out of the floor pan. Watch Japanese or euro UA-cam channels to observe drivers changing gears quickly and smoothly.
@@clubsport9334 you have no idea what you are talking about!
@@clubsport9334 that's because you can get away with that on a lot of Japanese gearboxes. T56/tr6060 you can not. And that's what he has. You shhmuck
Just seeing you so happy with the 10s made my day thank you
Car is talking to you through the radio like Bumblebee 😂😂😂
Driving to California… To participate on This vs. That? 👀
edit I just got to 22min in, and you already covered my suspension squat questions. so only other ones i can think of is doing a good weight check and balance once you get the slicks you plan to use in the future. especially with you in it trying to get that portion sorted will help get it off the line better.
grats on the 10 sec car! it must feel awesome, cause it certainly looks badass from here.
Yeah absolutely!
Now we just need this on this vs that
I gotta say seeing where this car is from where it was, You where one of the first automotive youtubers I liked man props!!
it looks like you are getting out of the throttle before you complete the pass.. always run full throttle to the end! don't let up until you clear the timing lights!
Yeah not 100% sure! Gotta get some better brake pads on this thing cause slowing down is a bit sketch lol
@@_Gingium_ that i don't doubt! you are killin it tho! keep on doin what yer doin! great channel!
@@_Gingium_actual finish line is usually behind the boards. But different at every track
@@_Gingium_, I can recommend Ferodo DS2500 pads. They are available for the 240. They're a performance pad and really bite once they have a little bit of heat.
Amazing work mate, great to see you achieving the goals you’ve wanted to hit for so long, would love to see more content from this track, nice that it’s not that far away, it’s quiet, you get lots of runs and track time, great to see mate and awesome content 👌
So so so stoked for you Caleb!!! I couldn’t stop smiling after seeing that 10.7 the Volvo and you as a driver are progressing so quickly! Can’t wait for the next video keep up the grind
Little tip here from racing up at Bandimere, we mark our tire and wheel with a line to see if the tire slips off the wheel itself, id see if your tire is slipping through the wheel, we had issues with that on one of our cars and we ended up switching to beadlocks, I know you want the sleeper look but maybe try a set and see where you sit. We only gained like a tenth of a second but it all matters if your chasing that time
Literally my favourite car on the internet! I think once you take out the drag caused by the suspension extension it will do sub 10s. Can't wait to see it!
Exhilarating. Amazed by your perseverance and determination. And so happy this thing is starting to live up to its potential! Can’t wait to see it hit that peak power fully!!! Thanks 🙏
Thanks for taking along for your ride! How cool is that that you can pull into the staging lanes...time and time again! The car is staying together without breaking hard parts! It makes me think I could afford to race someday? Good luck! Keep up the good work.
This was awesome to see! All that hard work has paid off by A LOT this build definitely is my favorite to watch along with the drift truck!
Love all the passes! That thing is friggen FAST. Nice job with this build. You should be proud!!!
Have you thought of trying no lift shifting now that you have a built transmission.
Still loving the volvo video's! When I first started watching these I was planning on buying one of these as soon as I got my licence. Have had my 245 for one and a half years now. Mine isn't fast like yours at all since I'm poor and need very km/L I can get lol. Have a good one Gingium!
Loving the fact you are posting more often Caleb 👍👍👍
I think the best take away is that it's getting consistent now, and you can only improve from here.
Yea exactly! I’ve never ran this consistently at the track so it’s a great step in the right direction
@@_Gingium_ For sure, this build has come a long way!
Congratulations. You got a 10 second ticket printing machine that stays together now and is a blast to drive. Show us the time slips if you can. That's fun to see
So happy seeing you finally happy with the car. Great fkin work with it and lets get it down even more!
I think the reason you miss third every now and then is you’re at full extension to get it in, maybe a shifter with more lay back on it would help. 👍🏻
Any chance you could make it to formerly proving grounds, now Karmagedon in Brainerd MN. Dates are September 8-10 I believe. It’s a big event with drag, drift, autocross, road racing. It would be cool to see you bring out all the cars for one insane weekend!
Could the voltage drop indicate the serpentine belt is slipping somewhere?
Definitely
Yeah probably, only happens when bouncing off the limiter lol
@@_Gingium_ I believe you got a thingamajig in your doohickey
@@_Gingium_I'm thinking you might be over spinning your alternator and might just need to get a larger pulley for it.
good job, man!
congrats!
Congratulations Caleb! I'm very happy for you!
CALLED IT!!! Great driving!!!
YOOOO ging wit the logic song, both work hard as hell🤘🏼 you’re gonna make it Caleb, as he said “this is destiny “
Congrats man awesome work
That was awesome! Looks like these runs went quite well.
That track is like having your own private track rental. Seems like it was worth the drive
I would definitely put a bigger intercooler in it will help
I friggin love your videos man!
absolutely love the regular content!
I'm enjoying it as well, just gotta keep it up!
Wow, that's a fast Volvo 240 ! Regards from Sweden
Man, when John swaps his Civic's engine and you're both running 9s, that's gonna be so sick
It looks like you could start your 2step/revlimiting at the start of your stage or the other lanes stage if you stage before them. It will bring those reaction times down and get closer to that goal on your runs. The volvo absolutely ripped!
Reaction times dont add to your time, the time doesnt start until you trip the beam. So you can stay at the line for 10 seconds while its green.
I’ve always dreamed of a volvette exactly like this bad ass build man much love
3 videos in a week! Keep the grind going gingium love your content!
Yay 🤗 good job team!
Congrats brother!
We don't need hubcaps where we are going.
pennzoil is good stuff. Came in second place to amsoil in project farms oil showdown. it's my go to affordable oil for our daily drivers. too bad they were rushing you at the track. great time. That is very fast especially in a car that couldn't go 131MPH in a thousand miles
well done, that is so cool.
You need a diesel again. And don’t buy a problematic one this time. A 7.3 powerstroke excursion would make a mean tow rig and be super over-land capable
I agree
Love the Volvo. Man, I need to get my wagon done.
It's awesome to see you so happy after that launch, you can see the excitement on your face hahaha! I hope my volvo 245 will make over 200 hp one day 😂😂
Congrats on the success of the Volvo.
that first good launch was so rewarding bro. good job man
19:21 That hooked up nicely!
L.F.G!!!!!!! Congrats Caleb!
🎉 🎉🎉. Love how the wheel plate left the chat on the 10.7s pass
the built trans is such a huuuge improvement
That trans shifts so fucking beautiful its like music
Loving the upload schedule
Love all your videos. And I enjoy your Kermit the Frog voice 👍🏾🐸
11:10 gingium's in the rattpack???
edit: 5 hooks stuck in my head now lol
2:36 you started the Volvo and the subtitles say “music”. Damn right it is
So sick!!!!
Thank you!
Lmao that hubcap had excellent comedic timing.
Youve built a beast!
Being in the realm of even being compared to the legend Steve Morrison is a huge honor!
I think the ONLY reason this channel hasn’t totally blown up is the fact that you haven’t purchased a supercar. Seems like all those channels start to get tons of subscribers most likely from younger kids
It would be worth a shot, maybe rebuild a wrecked one.
2nd run I seen a Dakota next to you. I had thay same one loved it lol
Congrats on the 10 second car club brotha! You deserve it.
Now I can feel good about the fact that I also have hubcaps considering a 10 second car also rocks them, but hey my car isn't nowhere near as fast so they won't be falling off like this :D
Subscribed after seeing you on This vs That. I hope to do the same thing someday. I am next door in SC, maybe someday we can hang out in Mexico.
Great job Caleb way to iron things out
Just realized this is the 2nd channel im subbed to where people are putting big engines in Volvo 245s 😄
That was some nice shifting. Maybe need different rear end stretch them 3rd out a little bit
I bet that lay over on the top end is really hurting you on the strip. Love the build, gonna make my owner sleeper one day!
Almost to the point of time travel! Keep it up!
It certainly feels like that in 1st gear lol
Good job gingium
10:07 the hub cap Day made!
Announcer at the drag strip definitely didn't expect that from a Volvo 240
Well done. But it needs a bigger intercooler. That has to be the restriction you are seeing and not getting the power it should be making. Would love to see you change it and see if that's the issue. Even if it's just an air to air where the grill is and make it fit later if that solves the problem. But again love the Volvo build. About to do the same in my 77 f100
The prep was probably the best on your first run. On any kind of prep it's probably a consistent 10.8 car
Incredible 😬😬😬💀
Dude, at this point all you need to get deeper into the 10s is more reps and some refinement. GREAT WORK DUDE!!!!
Man. Im so happy about the new transmission and the smooth shits
ME TOO, gawd it was annoying with the old trans.
Yes!!! Well done 👏
I need to see what’s in that Dakota to warrant it being at the track 🤣
I was thinking the same thing😂
when the owner thinks the Dakota is fast and thinks that with an intake and exhaust it should be fast enough to compete with a stock Nissan Altima.
@@RicardoPCGamer hey my stock S10 with a side pipe and 230k miles kept up with a mustang. To be fair he was a V6 vert and my truck had the piss whipped out of it it was fun tho
@@tandmbros5877 I'm not surprised lol. I'm guessing an old 3.8L Mustang right?
@@RicardoPCGamer no clue man not a Ford person I like em just don't know much about em, it was like an 05 vert
Looks like you might want to tighten up the compression on your rear shocks, or slow down rebound. The car would squat and max out and bounce back off of the rear tire. That’s why it started to spin later in the video.
Bro, i've been watching your videos maybe from your beginning, you did great long way from where you started, but id recomand you to look for your boost at 4th gear, car feels fast but when fourth gear hits feels like theres no enough boost to hit a personal best ( 10.5 or lower ) ...
Much respect and keep with the good work brother
You need waaaay higher rpm on that 2 step if you wanna build some boost for the launch!
1:57 its so ironic to see you with a hair tie around the stock on the column 🤣 (i am also bald, no hate lol)
The second launch was amazing
It'd be fun to see your Volvo against Peter Björcks "Volvoghini" which, as the name suggests, has a Lamborghini V10 under the hood of a sleeper Volvo. :) I'd post a link to his channel (PeterBjorck) but I guess YT will just flag it as spam.
Recently picked up Pennzoil ultra platinum for $39.99 for my 99 Corolla because I like to race it hard at high RPMs often
I love undertime slopper.
What kind of dork puts hub caps on a 10 second car. Come on bro! That's lethal at those speeds.
idk why but i love the sequoia so much lol.
You need cage mate you are really going some now, don’t risk it. Good work on the 10
Dude you're a Awesome.
