Re: Turbo 340

I haven't had time for the Volvo lately so it's been sat under a cover for the last 12 months. I put it back on the road with a new turbo but cracked a piston again putting too much boost through the engine. I'm breaking the following parts: Chassis and suspension: http://i863.photobucket.com/albums...

Turbo 340

I'm thinking of selling my 340! I took it off the road a year ago as the turbo started to get smokey, it currently doesn't have any tax or MOT. I've been planning on putting in an injected Gordini engine but just haven't found the time. Would just need a new turbo to put it back on the road, the tur...

Re: F7P engine + bits

It's stupid things like the bearing casting and clutch shaft that bolts to the back of the bell housing, which from your conversion guide differs from the 1.4. I explicitly asked him for this before he shipped the parts. He also didn't ship the front mount that bolts to the sump, saying it's not his...

F7P engine + bits

I was going to do an F7P conversion on my 1.4, I then got fleeced by a dishonest crook (mark-n-claire) on ebay for the necessary 1.7 parts. He supplied me with some but not all the parts I asked for, then was trying to sell me the missing parts. So I've lost the drive to continue. Renault F7P engine...

Re: Spax SSX lowering springs

I'm not sure what poundage the springs are, Spax don't seem to publish that information.

Bit of information:

Re: Turbo Brick

The ride is okay until the car hits big undulation at high speed, then you can feel it bottom out. I need heavier oil in the dampers, currently 30W and possibly cut the bump stops down a little.

Re: B14 inlet manifold

Superb, would you be willing to post it for say £25? Chucked most of my old broke engine out about a month ago, which is sods law. Thinking about Mega-squirting it so need a manifold to modify. Briefly thought about an F7P turbo, even brought an exhaust manifold, but from looking at Chris_C bell hou...
