Re: Happy 360 owner

Hey Mark, you are right: this one is a really basic 360. :) It was bought in Austria by a Hungarian lady - you know in that time we had only the Eastern block cars only here (Lada, Dacia, Wartburg, Trabant, Skoda, etc.) and some Renaults. So I believe it was a really big deal to get a Volvo from the...

Re: Happy 360 owner

Hi,

Ride-on, thank you. I'm not sure understand 100%: "Use a looping brake circuit to allow fluid circulation via the bleed valve. Pumps and heat sinks maybe available." Can you please explain it a bit for me? :wink:

Hello Gabor, :D I have sent a PM to you on FB - have you received it?

Re: b204e swap

Thanx for everyone. But I'm a bit confused. :) I have a B200F with LH-Jetronic. AFAIK B204E has the same system, hasn't it?... So Mr. Joris if I understand correct: 204E is a "shortblock"(?) so pistons have to swapped as well, right? I read about the timing belt, it must be some kind of hybrid solut...

Re: b204e swap

Hello Logan, thanx for the reply. In Hungary you can swap engine officially if you use the same engine type (with the same code.) So the question is if it is possible to use the head of a B204E on a B200F block, and if so how? Also does it make any real advantages? :) If it is not the best option I ...

b204e swap

Greetings! :) I have a 360 (and love it) and now I could get a B204E engine out from a 740, so I would like to ask if it would worth to swap or upgrade my current B200F engine? (Of course my dream is a 2.3 turbo but I'm afraid here in Hungary I can not get all necessary parts also someone to do the ...

Re: Happy 360 owner

The front brakes only seem small because there is fashion trend for bigger brakes on modern cars. There is no standard upgrade and I do not think any are necessary. They are fine for the weight of the car, 300s where considered to have good brakes in the day, its more the engine power and time spen...

Happy 360 owner

Hey everyone, I'm Okta from Hungary. I was looking for a 360 here but it is quite rare (we have more 340 diesels) but finally found it: a '89 born baby. :D Not in a bad shape but there are things to do: shifting gears are not smooth, suspension has to be checked, etc. Bought it from an old man, who ...
