Perhaps this event is on your bucket list. You might be a race equipment provider. Or the owner of a small speed shop with big dreams. Maybe your a cooperate guy who's just on a business trip. No matter who you are and what you do for a living, SEMA is an amazing show. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Why? Because it's built on passion and creativity. Yes, it's big business too, but without passion there would be nothing to show. SEMA is as well to the point.

Took me some years to really understand the essence of that song. When August turn in to September at latitude 57 you're getting concerned about the summer end.

In November you think about the amazing warm September.</span><br /></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">So...take my advice and drive, dream and have fun in the sun while you can because those long shadows and heavy rain clouds are approaching in a couple of months.

We based it on a Volvo Amazon station wagon. In 2017 we shipped the vehicle to US, we got it approved and drove our rookie runs at El Mirage same autumn. In 2018 we took our Amazon to Bonneville Speed Week. Our first visit at Bonneville. What an experience! Amazing and an over all success. We went back to Speed Week 2019 with full enthusiasm...but the salt was too wet and soggy to make speed dreams come true.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Then there was this pandemic in 2020 and 2021...the racing at Bonneville Speed Week was good since the salt was dry and hard. But we couldn't enter US of A so we were idling back home in Sweden. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">In 2022 we were better prepared that ever before. With a set of new of Ohlin rear shocks and loads of positive energy. But there was rain on our parade. Or should we say a lake on our parade?</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Another year has past and it's now 2023. So we've bought flights tickets, hotels and prepared ourselves mentally to attend the 75th Bonneville Speed Week. Will Lady Luck support our speed attempt? We don't know...</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkpXbY6E7uWTEn386Fsi-jB31RXlYGrwd_Uuw6bv5G87QrYP3tNh2FvtUP5y6ibsV_dIVYCo882AsSAE6uLjjwOPgLEteaH0Ux2BZnnTKkQP9oV51rYAbe4_KKGKRCML9ejUQPU0UZv77D9gDzdpkhcqj1Rp11nbZz-ORgTML6hyx3hYeewa8R68b0h_Gj/s4288/DSC_1412.JPG" style="font-family: verdana; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2848" data-original-width="4288" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkpXbY6E7uWTEn386Fsi-jB31RXlYGrwd_Uuw6bv5G87QrYP3tNh2FvtUP5y6ibsV_dIVYCo882AsSAE6uLjjwOPgLEteaH0Ux2BZnnTKkQP9oV51rYAbe4_KKGKRCML9ejUQPU0UZv77D9gDzdpkhcqj1Rp11nbZz-ORgTML6hyx3hYeewa8R68b0h_Gj/s320/DSC_1412.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><p></p><p></p><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">...but this is what we hope for.

For most of us this luxury does not exist. Hence we needs someway or the other to get involved in Global Shipping.Over time we learn about logistics and we're getting more informed. Not that we wanted to get informed about this world. all we wanted was to get our boxes or dispatch our packages.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">In addition, global shipping has taught us how to cope with frustration, anger and happiness in its purest form.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>As receiver,</b> you might get a mail with a tracking number and when google this long code you can see how your stuff travel around the world and get to see interesting places. How your transmission, turbos or superchargers is getting well-traveled. Your pallet might spend some time in Denver, Frankfurt or Malmö and it seems like number of days spent in a certain place can vary.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"> </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">While the pallets is on tour, we at Salt Slush are talking to our customers.

You're in command. You can do it. Or at least that's what you think. You just have to fill in a web based system at respective forwarder (UPS, DHL, Schenker etc) and print the labels. If you're shipping stuff between US and EU you might want to be in a very harmonic, because you will go through IT rage, laugh out loud sessions when to read custom tariffs and run procedure on average 2 times.If you're not a logistic wizard.<br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"> </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">The film above?

We're now providing Tremec Transmission kits from Silver Sport, BorgWarner EFR and Airwerks turbochargers and Magnuson Superchargers to our customers so we're busier than ever before. In addition we need to prepare for Bonneville Speed Week 2023 and keep all our private rides on the road too. <br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">But we have to admit that we've been socializing more then usual lately. I mean wrenching is nice and find technical solutions for customers is as well fun, but when that rare blue sky is clear and rain has stopped falling over south Sweden, the Salt Slush team are getting more sociable. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">We have hosted a Gearhead Party in our workshop (see below) and in addition to that we've traveled to other Garage Parties far away from Gothenburg. We have travel long distance in our enthusiast cars and yes, it takes time, but it's really inspiring and provides energy. </span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dzEocyfIH5dhO033lgvJ81x7Hhveixkn0dSPIlk5NK_snKST03Jtv2bumQvxbRwh1CwCMfCn80Z3Wd2psnUew' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div><p></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">The moral of this short post is that working focused alone in the workshop is efficient and does bring your project closer to the finish line. But at some point in time it's important to drink beer, talk loud and have fun. To fill up the mental tank with new ideas and get energized for the dark months. When? I suggest in the summertime. When the living is easy. Or at least easier. </span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Coming up soon.

About Clutches.<p><span style="font-family: verdana;">We've been worked on cars and bikes for decades. We know how a clutch works. In fact, we've fabricated our own flywheels and applied race clutches to these. Are we clutch experts? Nope. Far from experts actually.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">But we're learning and we learning fast from the best. How? We went to our supplier McLeod and to their facility in Anaheim, California, where we meet Lisa and Gary Kubo who took us through the world of street & race clutches.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">These guys have theoretical knowledge about clutches. But even more important, they have practical experience from many years of successful professional racing and they have the McLeod and PTT-McLeod engineering team as a knowledge base too.</span> <br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrl93fpnRjw0svM1mi8ahn5ov7LZE2o9A7ayJuRF9ZZT5KjM_IqtDQ2qVPQSAV_QVUnTl4BAHwRQHHNugExnB3MRBSM6Tj7t8atBnAQD9LATiiC54Y3Sq15ksQeS8YxAfg_8M_9ivhJzu5M3thHEGrh5O6KFQmfql0EGbb8T0pnE7iAzJLPWWg08Povw/s6016/DSC_4539%5B1%5D.JPG" style="font-family: verdana; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4016" data-original-width="6016" height="214" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrl93fpnRjw0svM1mi8ahn5ov7LZE2o9A7ayJuRF9ZZT5KjM_IqtDQ2qVPQSAV_QVUnTl4BAHwRQHHNugExnB3MRBSM6Tj7t8atBnAQD9LATiiC54Y3Sq15ksQeS8YxAfg_8M_9ivhJzu5M3thHEGrh5O6KFQmfql0EGbb8T0pnE7iAzJLPWWg08Povw/s320/DSC_4539%5B1%5D.JPG" width="320" /> </a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Gary demonstrated, with a lot of enthusiasm, how modular and flexible a PTT-McLeod clutches really are.

The Essentials.<div><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">We're all waiting for something. Always. It could be Godot, Jesus or Death. <br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">But waiting can be near term too. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Our new transmission customers are waiting for their Tremec transmissions to arrive in Gothenburg. The turbo customers are waiting for their performance device . Salt Slush Race team are waiting for flight SK931 to take off from Copenhagen and take us to US of A where we will prepare (and test drive) our Amazon for the Bonneville speed Week 2023. Carina and I are waiting for the paint shop to get ready with our 49 Olds 88. Anything else to wait for?<br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Yes...Spring, Summer, Barbecue, lower inflation, a better SEK to USD and SEK to Euro exchange rate...and for El Mirage Desert to dry up and be open to public. We're as well waiting for the Salt Flats to dry up. Always. <br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Is there a good way to wait? Is there a noble art of waiting? A way to consume time and make waiting less painful? </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Get lost in Social Media? Sleep? Get drunk? These examples represent the most common, contemporary and comfortable ways to wait. </span></p><span style="font-family: verdana;">But an additional alternative exist. It might feel far fetched. But we tested it. In spite of all odds. We call sober Sunday socializing. I'm talking about the time before 6.00 pm.<br /><br />Before we move on I have a word of warning. This type of time consuming activity is inspirational and can give you new dreams. Be aware.</span><br /><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3O_hmZDJfHQh3P-jFZ3KEigrEsTQMvMKygbT6CjEhi-9uiLwz_-vm_YTkUaJxe6TWS-gY-FwemetUQQzEwwRR6_eqwgK6PiUasRn5oXYOoSI52kG8nwrE27gsBwwswr5psQb6W7LVrfndEej436zsU6TjRkE_8StPhvh-4o0ZE_-azIrtUSRLN1_61Q/s6016/DSC_4469%5B1%5D.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4016" data-original-width="6016" height="214" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3O_hmZDJfHQh3P-jFZ3KEigrEsTQMvMKygbT6CjEhi-9uiLwz_-vm_YTkUaJxe6TWS-gY-FwemetUQQzEwwRR6_eqwgK6PiUasRn5oXYOoSI52kG8nwrE27gsBwwswr5psQb6W7LVrfndEej436zsU6TjRkE_8StPhvh-4o0ZE_-azIrtUSRLN1_61Q/s320/DSC_4469%5B1%5D.JPG" width="320" /></a><span style="font-family: verdana;"> </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Our space in the workshop is empty.

To test the vehicle prior to race day. To understand if the contraption is race ready or not. For this type of mechanical debugging asphalt or any concrete surface is preferred since it's reliable. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">The Salt Slush Race team is no exception. Since we are in Sweden and our Amazon is in California, we tend to fly over to Los Angles during Easter to work with it to get it in shape for Bonneville Speed Week in August. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">And we want to test drive it. So we normally take the vehicle to El Mirage. Which is good. If the facility is open and available for a test drive that is. If it is not open, we fly home to Sweden again, only to find ourselves unprepared for Bonneville Speed Week 2023.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">So we're now looking for an reliable alternative. A place where we can test drive our race car to understand that everything is ok. We don't have to drive fast. It would be good to test the vehicle only at +120mph (190km/h) to understand how our chassis improvement (Ohlin shocks and new rear end geometry) has influenced the vehicle behaviour. The chassis would be our primary focus since we're rather confident with the powertrain (engine, turbo (EFR) and transmission (Tremec))</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLUWliVWzCS2h7rS9AajPSMO_YkGRebrbiXPl3stWVsiEy6Weyq_pQQGUDc8SBlyRoWi8jqhLs7afCB79F0iisXwEHV8iVAxfikVsS03rA2JAGmnZYZYQt2NA_FC8tp8NAo8c-5m9XkqcY5R2ThdDDbxMmo4dUPtgKRoLGowdbPtGQj-PDbVxS_PdW8A/s4032/20220418_130504.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLUWliVWzCS2h7rS9AajPSMO_YkGRebrbiXPl3stWVsiEy6Weyq_pQQGUDc8SBlyRoWi8jqhLs7afCB79F0iisXwEHV8iVAxfikVsS03rA2JAGmnZYZYQt2NA_FC8tp8NAo8c-5m9XkqcY5R2ThdDDbxMmo4dUPtgKRoLGowdbPtGQj-PDbVxS_PdW8A/s320/20220418_130504.jpg" width="320" /></a></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">El Mirage.

Who are we to judge?<div><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">This is can be a sensitive topic. So, let's take a step out on the thin ice and start walking without any fear. But let's start with definitions. With Stock I mean a vehicle that is not modified at all. It looks, feels and behaves like when it driving out from the factory where it was born, or like some insensitive people might say; were produced. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">When we're talking about Modified, everything is more open. For some people, a vehicle has been modified if it has been taken apart and restored, for some other people a new engine, a new engine management system, a supercharger or a turbo mean that the vehicle has been modified. <i>Some other people</i>, does not see a vehicle as modified until is has a role cage or/and chopped top.<br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">There are good reasons to keep things stock but it make sense to make modifications too. If you find the missing fourth Bugatti Atlantic in a barn that you just bought, consider to keep it stock. But if you've been stealing something from nature, like the remains of an cool mass produced vehicle that's been sitting for decades in the forest, a humid barn or in a too dry desert, consider modification. Perhaps build a race car?<br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">If your tachometer is pointing north while your emotions is heading south on that long cool car tour, reconsider the original equipment gear ratio and transmission. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">If the car that you once knew as fast starts to feel slow. If it lost its growl, if it makes you embarrassed at the track and does not deliver when the lights turn green; Consider boost pressure.</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzgSDtns6-49j6X9Zrmen1qGQPEwAnFpsBLnsJrjKEMAm7ke4aKtf2pk60qf-4JKF_Bftjf2-u5BCHoaigernahzxTsHXA-q4OeMHpDxnuvL0yNWLS9Aytc7L21MvDNH3-jDNawJ9ZAVBXLAcycJSERbwtHwAeD52RaKw-MhNg44c8yatEt4Xkel0cYA/s6016/DSC_2112%5B1%5D.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4016" data-original-width="6016" height="214" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzgSDtns6-49j6X9Zrmen1qGQPEwAnFpsBLnsJrjKEMAm7ke4aKtf2pk60qf-4JKF_Bftjf2-u5BCHoaigernahzxTsHXA-q4OeMHpDxnuvL0yNWLS9Aytc7L21MvDNH3-jDNawJ9ZAVBXLAcycJSERbwtHwAeD52RaKw-MhNg44c8yatEt4Xkel0cYA/s320/DSC_2112%5B1%5D.JPG" width="320" /></a></span></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">We had to do it.

In shock. It all came back to me. My brain was overheated. Boiling.

At least in Sweden. <br /><br />Back in those days Sweden was governed by Socialist, or rather Social Democrats and they decided what was good for their citizens. The imperialistic Duck called Donald was not part of their culture agenda. <br /><br />But the western world and democracy was pounding on our door and hence The Swedish National Television allowed Disney to appear on the screen for one hour on Christmas Eve. To show that The Party had an arms length distance to culture.<br /><br />Since these dark years a lot has happened and Sweden is today a western democracy. But a tradition was established and since 1960 approximately 50% of all Swedes are looking at the same show every year. At this point you might again ask yourself why. Don't do that. It just gets complicated.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">I was sitting there too. Looking at the same show for the 50th time. A bit bored.

All of a sudden you've reach a deeper understanding. It normally happens when you're unprepared. When you thought that you've seen it all, knew it all. Then suddenly new insights evolves.<br /><br />Here's what; The Convention Center in Las Vegas, aching feet, a bad back and a brain soft and overloaded by impressions and no sleep. Exhausted, but open for sensations, I saw the light. <br /><br />What insight came to me in this vulnerable moment? Here are the Salt Slush commandments that suddenly appeared. They came in a kind of digital mental form, not as traditional stone tablet. Nope. Apparently the God of Speed prefer digital communication.<br /><br />1. (Engine-) Power is more important than Perfection. <br /><br />2. Form follows Function.<br /><br />3. If Function can allow Form, Form is important too.<br /><br />4. Climate change will not increase the atmospheric pressure on planet Earth. Hence follow 5th commandment below.<br /><br />5. Boost pressure should be applied to any engine if possible. Always.<br /></span><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">6. If boost pressure cannot be applied, hot cams, high rpm and big displacement are the only way forward to those in search for speed.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">7. Rubber won't burn itself.
