I spotted one when i was at the theory test for my license - first picture BAM 360 in my face

I'm sure Adam (340GLT) had 16" alloys on his 340R project I don't get any rubbing using 15x8 wheels so using 45 profile tyres on say 16x7 would probably be ok if you don't go too low yea i started thinking 15x8's with 185/45 It's hell on earth to figure out, what wheels to look for... SO many shine...

But those wheel arches you've got looks dope !

Coool 'ill have a look

hi all... as promised I'll have to ask a silly question.. have any of you guys seen a 340 or 360 with 16" wheels fitted ? If anyone got any pictures it would be nice ! (: yea yea know all of that 13-14-15 action.. but is there any, when it comes 16" (other than rubbing :mrgreen: ) i know it would be...

Ha ha cheers buddy glad its inspired you! :D I get the CF from uni, make stuff myself. Some pre-preg I got off a mate of mine who worked for a company making CF parts for the F1 teams. Good luck with your car man! Cool ! yea i notised that you do a lot of stuff.. I'll try making stuff myself then.....

"it" is grip - it's all about handling and converting what power you have into grip - effectively turning engine power into kinetic energy - ie:- motion. Knowing the 300 as I do I can assure you that even a 1.4, in perfect, original factory spec. will handle and perform far in excess of an "average...

oh i know <3

trust me, my rallyfriend is all about handling and putting "it" down, whatever "it" might be
and he knows weird stuff...

YES ! i'll take it easy, I think i got a bit carried away - looking on a lot of sweet ass 300s inhere

My rule for tuning is start with the handling and then start making it go. So start with replacing any worn suspension parts and upgrade where possible. Select the right kind of springs and dampers for your use. Wheels and tyres around 195 wide works well. Engine stage zero service and tune up. If ...

The other possible swap with LHD is either a B14 turbo (Renault 5) or a 440 1.7 turbo engine. 360 is the better drive line for power but even so by Volvo standards it is weak Hmm, okay I think my plans will be something like, double carbs, exhaust, cooling and then stiffen it up a bit.. i guess tha...

Awesome with that splitter - and in general awesome car man ! well it's your car who made me wanna get one :roll: love the style of it ! have a question - maybe it's been asked, but.. Where do you get your carbon fiber ? - do you make it from scratch or what ? keep it up ! i'll follow this for sure ...

The 340 is fine provided that the engine and gearbox mounts are in very good shape and you do not abuse the clutch. The 1.4 is not slow and might be the best insurance bet for you. The 1.7 is also a very good engine and can be upgraded to the 400 series 2ltr 8valve with only minimal effort. The 16 ...

JUST !
Be careful about using "the fork trick".

I've changed the dash light in my brothers honda (adding 26 LED's inklusive the normal ones on the back), and used the fork trick.
- but it damaged the rev needle motor, so now it's fucked...
- easy fix tho.. but annoying money...

haha cool ! :D and thank you guys ! but sure, just wait - i'll ask like a Crazy person :mrgreen: sm1 So i'm thinking Volvo 360 GLE 3 door.. but would it be better/smart getting a 340 DL, and then put another engine in it ? - cause i can find 340's with a low amount of rust for cheap.. and then maybe...

I would agree with dai on the racecar aspect. if its gonna be something you plan to keep till it dies then find one you just can't pull yourself away from. there not all the same. My baby was my second car. its my turbo project now. I've got build thread somewhere but heaps of people race them, low...
