Re: white 1.4 5 door MAJOR PRICE DROP!!!! £550

This one still for sale? I'm assuming it's the lowering mods that have driven the insurance up...?

Re: B2300FT 2.3 Turbo Engine 110K - Perfect For Engine Swap!

Hmm, fair enough, maybe we could work out a deposit for me to hold it? At the moment I just need the space but I've waited this long, a couple weeks extra won't matter if you're serious...

Re: Volvo 360 GLT Lowered & Stiffened Exeter £350

Yeah, I know...but that requires driving it, which requires insurance, and getting one-day insurance on a modified vehicle is basically impossible ;)

Re: B2300FT 2.3 Turbo Engine 110K - Perfect For Engine Swap!

Aside from needing an Airflow Sensor, some air ducting and an exhaust, all the bits I'm aware of are there. Mating a Volvo 940 engine to a Volvo 360 transmission isn't quite plug and play, but there's more detail in this forum on what's required from that point of view. As for Romania, not sure ther...

Volvo 360 GLT Lowered & Stiffened Exeter £350

Well, the time has come to move on to something new. Which means that my 1989 Volvo 360GLT has to go. It's been a fantastic track car, and further upgrades were planned but never came to fruition, so maybe someone else can take up the baton. - 102,000 Miles - B200E Fuel-injected 2.0 - Land Rover 90 ...

/me cowers at the sight of wires

Not much of an update here, I've taken the plunge and SORN'd the beast ready to start tearing it apart for reals. Time to tackle that loom...

Re: B200 -> B230FT Conversion

Right! I knew this sort of thing had been done before, but I couldn't turn up anything on the search for some reason. Thanks Ride_on, I appreciate it. Naturally, I've read the whole post, which has accomplished two things: 1) Scaring the crap out of me with regards to the loom and 2) Raising a whole...

B200 -> B230FT Conversion

Hi Guys, At some point I'll actually assemble a proper build thread for my beloved 360, but I'm getting to the point now where the only thing stopping me from doing the physical swap is the lack of a crane! That aside, I also have some questions. I've never done an engine swap before - this is very ...

Re: Volvo 360 GLT for swaps

Hi,
Only one question really (before I see how much my Gas Bill refund is really going to be ;) ) - engine. Is it the default 2 litre 8 valve fuel injected lump or has anything interesting been done there?

L8rz!

Re: Volvo 360 GLT for swaps

Hey,
That's one pretty looking car. I'm moving next week which i'll have space and quite possibly even some money - is the car still for sale? Also, where are you/is the car located?

Thanks!

Re: Sharp Right Turn = Grinding Noise

(Slaps self) Power steering... Well I know the belt needs sorting because it squeels at full lock when parking etc, you think this would cause higher speed noise on just the one side as well?

I'll have a look this afternoon, see if I can't get the belt sorted too...

Thanks!

Re: Sharp Right Turn = Grinding Noise

Thanks for the tip, but I'm going to have to put my hand up and admit that I don't know what a PAS system is... :/

Forum post for the clarification of acronyms maybe needed :)
