The Full Banana

The reason I chose the words "pretty close" is that it's an imperfect analogy. Most of the time, I've found the prancing moose/mooserrari/whatever you want to call it stickers to be associated with the sort of cars and owners that I'd rather not associate with... which is "pretty close" to the same effect of an M badge added to a non-M BMW. 
Gabe put it well above. 😂 To be honest, he and I have probably spent wayyyy too much time in the Volvo enthusiast world over the past 15 years, and are approaching/well-cemented into curmudgeon status. 
 

That said, congrats on the sale! Sounds like it went to someone who won't immediately destroy it (like most Volvos are). BMWs are a better platform to invest time into.

I definitely would have been that guy. Those stickers are pretty close to the Volvo equivalent of putting ///M badges on BMWs. 
 
Well, I would have waited until I got to the closest gas station, but would have removed them ASAP.

The son of a bitch took the Mooserarri stickers off before he even left the driveway...

How about some e30 content? 
All cleaned up for Road America tomorrow. 
 

I really like the idea and would love to do something like this, but we're only a month out and there's very little information available about what this actually will be (other than eating a salad in Ohio). Doesn't inspire a lot of confidence... It would be cool to see this become something with a little more planning

Hunter Mulhollon
He has a dyno in his shop. Very good with MS tuning and TS and his prices are pretty reasonable. 10/10 recommend
Located on the north side of Fond du lac.
He did some re-tuning on my car (running MS3 pro) a little over a month back and it has been running flawless ever sense.
Shoot him a message on Facebook, super nice guy and he knows his shit.

Does anyone have a recommendation for an experienced tuner that I could take this car to have it tuned professionally on a dyno? The car runs Megasquirt MS3x, so I would need to find someone experienced and willing to tune that. 
Also, had an opportunity to get out and have some photos taken for an upcoming magazine feature. No idea how long until that will come out, but here's a photo I snapped while hanging around. 

Do you still have these? I have a new engine and lots of paranoia that these would help with.

It's all back together, and I drove it. OATOA engine feels happy. 
Only 15 miles in, but so far things are good. I'm running with engine break-in oil, keeping RPM varied <4k and throttle input <60%. Plan is to keep putting around in it like that, change the oil after 50 miles for another batch of break-in oil, and then change that batch of oil out at around 500 miles.

A year later, and I'm just about to button up installing a fresh engine built with Wiseco pistons and h-beam rods in a painstakingly refinished engine bay. This car has been a real test of my patience and perseverance.  

Ha! That is the perfect analogy.

ive never heard of this motor brand "OATOA"

Is the car slowly becoming all silver?

Very cool--I hope to seeing this driving around Jackson!
