Hi Joris So I took the stock air filter housing out just to see how I would fit the new air filter (looked into the round barrel type air filters like you suggested. Might be a possibility to go down that route). Just wanted to know how have people made them fit around the carb? Would welcome some s...

Hello Would like to change the standard air filter unit for an aftermarket air filter/induction kit on my 1.7 340. What are my options? What setups have people tried that work well? Will the carb need rejetting? I'm not bothered about power gain...just want it for the sound (there...I said it!! :| )...

May 30th sounds good although I can only do the Saturday.

She's doing very well as my daily driver. Bit thirsty but I was expecting that. Best economy I've achieved so far is 41mpg. But 36-37mpg is what she returns normally. At the moment the only issue I have is a sticking starter motor. I can avoid this issue by being very careful when I try and start th...

She's going strong....so far
I can only say the previous owners must have taken very good care of her

Hello Dai

Can I have some pics please? Is it from the downpipe onwards?
That manifold you offer on your website, is it strictly for a 2.0 l?

Thanks

Mid May me thinks will work well for me..

Just some pics of my latest 340... Done 43,000 miles. She's in excellent condition. Expecting some age related issues. Had to sort out the leaky fuel tank as it was weeping fuel. Potential explosive consequences averted :roll: This is my daily driver and I do 60 miles everyday 5 days a week :mrgreen...

I've got an '87 340 1.7 and am thinking of fitting a custom exhaust... I'm hoping it will help the car rev more freely. Has anyone done it? Any suggestions as to where I can get one made? Did something similar to my last '88 340 1.4. 38858_456540531487_2584231_n.jpg 38858_456540536487_3537821_n.jpg

Spring 2015 meet?

cheers

Any plans for a 2015 meet??

Please feel free to inbox me with a decent offer. I was keen to sell it back to James Turnbull (turnbullj. who I bought it from) who put a lot of time and effort into Val. He can't afford it atm. I'm pretty sure you V3M guys appreciate these cars like I do

I just need something more practical and quieter. Just love these 340/360's so want to stick with one
Also my insurance jumped from £460 to £980! The 3 points for speeding must not have helped but its still quite a jump.
