Re: Volvo 300 Parts and accesories, Props, bell housings & m

Hi There, Did the cvt box/bell housing ever get sold? I remember getting an email from you on it a while back but no reply since. I'm still interested in it if it is complete with clutch and flywheel bellhousing etc. If you still have these and want to sell, please can you call/email me on 0771 608 ...

Starting problems 1.4 340

Hi all, Had recent problems getting my 340 to start. Engine will turn over but will not catch/start. When it comes closest to starting the whole car jolts/judders to a halt. I have changed the plugs and checked the carb but it's still giving me trouble. Any ideas what might be causing the problem? T...

Re: swapping heads

I'm just after a little more power on the cheap and want to know what options are available. I like the difference of the CVT box and really enjoy driving it, so want to keep it, but a little more power would be nice. I'm not to fussed at halving the CVT belt lives as I don't think £200 for replacem...

Re: swapping heads

Morning all, Does anyone know if Renault 5 turbo heads & cams can be used on original 340 blocks? Would like to use the 8 port head and trick cams available for the Renaults but don't fancy doing a full on engine swap as I am not sure about fly wheels etc.... I have a CVT; I read the flywheel is dif...

Re: 360 GLT Spoiler

Hi,

I would be interested in one of the GLT spoilers but not sure whether it will fit my 3 door 340? How much are you asking for one and where abouts are you?

Thanks

Cheapest way to set up new suspension

Hi all, At some point in the near future I would like to sort my wheels and suspension. I'm pretty much decided that I'm going to drop it 75mm but I dont want any setup I run with to shake the fillings out of my teeth. I dont drift, I just like volvo cars so rideability is more important than perfor...

Re: cvt turbo???

Why do you have to use a turbo? What about using a G60 supercharger? The boost can be set via belt ratios there's loads of space for one and boost would be gradual reflecting engine revs - low torque at low revs, high boost at high rev. Should be a perfect match for CVT - could use with SU HIFF44 --...

I've been advised...
