RE: 240 estate
Hi thanks for posting your car's details - it's good to have a 240 on the list! Please keep us informed of the work on your car.

RE: Post Your Car's Modifications
Dai, thanks for posting info on your 340 - there's a number of modified 340s out there, it would be good to bring all the rarer modified Volvos together for a meet!

I hardly dare post...
My 850R saloon is shamefully standard, except for:
AP big brake kit Goodridge braided brake hoses ITG panel filter Volvo suspension strut brace Powerflex poly front bushes Powerflex poly engine top mount 70-series washer jets and side repeaters Black finish rear badges (just T-cut the silver off) Black front grille Oh...and an installed looney behind the wheel. Insurance and practicality is keeping me away from engine mods - so far... |

RE: Post Your Car's Modifications
Sadly, my 240 is currently little molested - but I'm collecting parts, and I promise she's going to be a giant killer - much in the vein of the 240s the boys in Sweden spend all their hard earned on :)
Anyhow, more about that when the project is in motion. Now, if only this thread didn't say 'Volvo', I could post about my TVR, and Mini mods; but therein hangs another tale, or two . . . |
Poly bushes.
They replaced tired standard bushes at the same time as the brake upgrade, so it isn't possible to do a proper assessment against the standard article.
However, I've had no front-end handling problems and very accurate steering, so I imagine that much of that is due to the bushes. My opinion would be replace when standard items wear out, rather than spend a lot doing it before that time. |
RE: I hardly dare post...
Ok here goes:
Bit embarrassing compared to others here though.... 2000 C70 T5 Manual * OEM Strut Brace * RICA ECU upgrade * K&N Panel filter * Longlife custon made S/Steel exhaust with big pipes and a f**k off big tail pipe! ;-) Fantastic sound, as anyone who heard it on the rollers will testify. * BSR 1.5 Bar boost gauge (sat on a shelf until I can find a pod that the wife can live with......has to be the same colour as the interior etc) Wish list: * to actually fit my boost gauge. lol. * aerial down switch * 19T upgrade * Aluminium dash inserts * Maybe, just maybe, a big brake kit if one presents itself for the right money. :-) So far: 260BHP at the wheels on VTs old dyno, and a registered 282BHP on PEs rollers. Not bad for a rica'd 16T with a cat back, hi flow filter and an (at the time) dodgey MAF. :-) Cheers, Dan. |
