Re: Project: Volvo 360 GLT for the Volvo-Trophy

Finally got around to painting the remaining front spoiler white and did a Nordschleife track day. Brilliant wheather, parly damp track. Karussell - need different springs. Right front wheel touching the upper part of the inner wheel arch. Continuously. HSF_4961 kl.jpg Group 1 parked on the Doetting...

Re: Project: Volvo 360 GLT for the Volvo-Trophy

Time for a bit of action: Pics from the GLP on 06.08. Brilliant weather - a dry, sunny Nordschleife is just so much fun.

As Trabitom said, they prefer LSD because of their problems with all that snow :mrgreen:

Re: Project: Volvo 360 GLT for the Volvo-Trophy

I think the car has first been sold by Auto Gerb in southern Bavaria. Fahrzeugschein and Fahrzeugbrief are as I would expect for any german Erstauslieferung, but I am not too sure what the signs would be (other than lots of zeros for reimports). Do you know any give away? The car has been built in 1...

Re: Project: Volvo 360 GLT for the Volvo-Trophy

Tiny Update: after two years of resting (other f***ing projects reqruiring all my spare time) I have managed to get her back on the road, and to participate in one GLP on the Nordschleife - in the dry - Yeehaw! Lots of fun, even if i had to use my "wet-Options" uniroyal Rain Sport in 175/70/13 in th...

Re: wheel stud sizes

I'd rather not drill the holes. Does anyone know the diameter of the original wheel studs? I have found a supplier for 12,8 and 13,0 (and 14,2 and 14,3).

Re: Measurements bolts torque tube - gearbox; gearbox mounts

:lol: it is entirely possible that I chose a really smart place too keep them safe - would not be the first time I was smarter than me. But I fear they went the same way the pistons for the B200Ft went - when the owner of a Citroen DS collected his parts after getting kicked out of the workshop... A...

Measurements bolts torque tube - gearbox; gearbox mounts

Hi all, once again the mysterious nuts-and-bolts-eater has paid my workshop a visit and I am now missing the 4 bolts that connect the torque tube to the gearbox and the two bolts for mounting the gearbox to the car. Searching the forum only turned up that the torque tube bolts are M12 x 1.75, socket...

Re: From Portugal

Hi JFB, What condition are you looking for? There are two 343 with CVT for sale in Meppen, Germany, but the ad says they are not "road ready". The white one allegedly starts and runs ok. They also come with some spare parts. They were kept in a dry barn for 15 years. Price is 250 € for the yellow on...

Re: Project: Volvo 360 GLT for the Volvo-Trophy

up to around 250bhp. When the car is finished, I might be exceeding that a wee bit... :) Interesting clamp, have you got a price and supplier? Very interested to hear how it holds up. At the moment it's a one-off. And actually it is the third he made for me, the first two got scrapped because he wa...

Re: Project: Volvo 360 GLT for the Volvo-Trophy

Time for an update. Unfortunately it’s only a tiny update, as my other project car (a ’98 V70R) had raised a finger and demanded attention. Lots of attention. Bloody saffron princess of evil. Anyway, last week I could finally collect the new, stronger flange that I had made: Flansch neu.jpg Looks li...

Gold Box EZK

For my conversion I need a gold box EZK. It must be chippable - nearly all of them are, but not every one.

Own up - who's hoarding all those gold boxes :lol:

Re: 360 drive quill connector.

Hi Mac,

The one in the pic in my 360 Project Thread?
Hopefully next week I will talk to a specialist to get a stronger replacement made. I guess I could order 2 :)
Won't be cheap though...
