      Ask all the questions you want! It's been a... journey... to say the least.

    Dean, you should take this show on the road.
    It got humor, suspense, drama, animal interjections and the faint distant sound of a neighbour with no life or hobby.
    The only problem would be all the sawdust needed for all your spills......
    And that little anecdote about UA-cam not being your real job....... priceless, almost believable ya for a moment😆
    The 240 Turbo sled turned out Gold in the end, but who wouldn't have guessed that😉
    Cheers Mate

      This car has always been a problem child. Even for the past 3 owners. I have some plans for it next year but we shall see.

    Great video, lots of info. Definitely took some notes on my ecu swap in the future. Those leaves can be slippery mayber some lawn car enthusiasts can help clean it up.

      I always laugh at myself when im out there blowing leaves around. “I’ve become what I hate.”
      There is a giant oak tree that the camera is sat next to. 4ft thick at the trunk. Blowing leaves because a daily challenge in the fall for us.

    Good stuff man. Fellow southern Volvo guy (from middle TN). Considering ditching LH for Microsquirt in my 940 turbo. This series makes me want to do it less😆. All jokes aside love the videos

    • @DeanofMachines
      @DeanofMachines  Рік тому

      Thanks for the love my man! Megasquirt/Microsquirt is ok but they are lacking on modern development. Consider a MaxxEcu as the price point is similar and we have a tuner/distributor in the Turbobricks community.
