StratoWolf Gasket is fine. But the turbo and water pump needs replacing. I also might have to go to Frosinone tomorrow o_O
Lagano Too bad! Well i guess you could find one in Milano so it won't be too far. If that won't work you'll surely find one in Torino, it's the home of Fiat after all!
StratoWolf Luckily I had a fallback plan... Added 53 minutes later: My fallback plan: Yup 🙂 Update coming

StratoWolf So I've come back with the Volvo, this beauty has a 2.0L turbocharged engine which goes like a dream. 180 boi is now up and running. Stance sourced most of the parts and most were spare parts from the friends garages. I'm a big cheapskate. I got a custom exhaust system since the stock pipe blew up on the way back home from the STA. It's got an uprated intake and turbo as well as a SR16VE Neo VVL rocker cover. the engine's also been tuned to 10k RPM Forgot to mention it has a digital dash Also, fuck the SIIT man! My GF came back with her S14A and went to get it registered for the Italian roads, except it failed the noise test because of the muffler delete :facepalm: We'll get a muffler temporarily for the test. Spoiler: Volvo: -V€3,500 Total: V€39,501
Sleepin_mOnkey noice Af 10Rpm may wanna add rod and crank bearings to regular maintance and a militec would help too
StratoWolf I kinda turned it down to 8750-9000 rpm for normal use. I fitted an APEXi FC Controller. The turbo has been toned down so it doesn't cause any problems to the internals. Spoiler: Paycheck: +V€940 Total: V€40,441
StratoWolf So here's an update. We're going to Germany! We'll be going to Leipzig first to meet an old friend from gap year. Then we're heading east to the "old country" Our journey will go through Zurich, Stuttgart and Nuremberg. And now it's off to Germany! Spoiler: Uncollected paycheck from Monday: +V€940 Total: V€41,381
StratoWolf Oh fuck. I got news that the Morandi bridge collapsed as I got to Zürich. I just collapsed from the shock.
radcoon So you made it to Leipzig? How was the ride dude? On the way back consider the route from Nuremberg to Munich. A9. long time no speed limit!
StratoWolf Pretty good. I want a better suspension though Added 5 minutes later: Another update is coming shortly
