i have gone to a few scrapyards around my area, and this is a very tricky part to get. the engine is a renault model: F8M. so a different model with the same engine must work, or a different car with the same principle can be modified to work. it's a belt driven unit, that looks kindda like a mushro...

i know there are just a few of these, i know they are slow, and i mean SSSLLLLOWWW, but i just love my volvo. i do have some problems with it, and i hope you could help me out. first of all, my vacum pump for the power braking failed. i failed about 2 years ago, and i had to learn to drive it this w...

so you'd go for this?

height: 340 mm
diameter of wire: 12 mm
diameter: 128 mm

whould it be better to have 1 extra mm in diameter of wire
or have 26 mm in height?

i am stuck at this point, and have absolutly no idee witch way to go...

i don't have a make or ma part number... but i can go ask.
the guys at the store, told me that the shorter one is more rigid, and the long one is moreflexible. is it true? what would you recomand? to make my volvo as high as it gets, but be stiff enought for good handling.

i just came back from a shop and this is what i found out. there are 2 models of front springs that i can find and buy here, but just one is available. height: 340 mm diameter of wire: 12 mm diameter: 128 mm and the second version heightL 365 mm diameter of wire: 11 diameter:127 the available option...

so you think that i sould go for the standard? i did change the shock's last year, but not the springs. i have a volvo 340 spring set, but i did not install them (i got them after i installed the shocks), and the reason i didnt install them yet is that i wanted to ask around if there is a better way...

yes the speaker is a RE audio 18 XXX, 2005 model. We used a Viper 2.5 kW, but it is a litle bit to much power for the XXX at this frequencies. Here, the dB contest are just at the begining. and 144.4 is pretty good, taking in consideration that the car is not SPL, but a daily use. We are constantly ...

here are some pics i promised me and my friend adrian. http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g8/DAdrianD/IMG_9284.jpg the interior of the car ( with reinferced doors :) ) http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g8/DAdrianD/IMG_3305-1.jpg the other cars, but the main thing was still my 20 year old volvo http:/...

we mannaged to pull 144.4 with 2400 W at 36 hz with a port that was tunned at 31 hz. So the main idee was to make it very loud and still very low in frequency. the doors were opening a couple of mm at the top. Almost everyone at the contest was aiming to high frequnecy's, over 45 hz, but we had a lo...
