Re: Early 343 spares Breaking

Have just come back from the breakers where this car is. Note not the *car*. Having rang them to check their Easter opening hours earlier in the week, and told by 2 people that they were open Good Friday 9-5, after a 150 mile journey there this morning, I can confirm quite categorically that they a...

Re: Nimminz' LSD GLT Daily

If you get a shorter spring you can then run a helper spring to stop the spring being too short when you jack teh car up. I will look back through my photos and show you.

Re: Nimminz' LSD GLT Daily

It really depends on the wheel type, if you use a motorsport type wheel you will get away with a smaller size, like compomotive speedline etc. Dont forget the bracket will space the caliper outwards slightly too. With coilover rings & big tyres it will be fine providing you dont weld the adapter low...

You will need a early rear panel and wings to fit it.
Not that early Dai, it's come off an 84. It's the same as the touring car. Not the early 140 type.

Re: Volvo 242 powered by T5 in the UK....

Good to see the 242 finally rescued. It doesn't really look any worse then when I last saw it. IMO that's the best front end, just needs the flat bootlid. What colour are you thinking? :) Volvo Rebel blue aka polestar blue. It will be same body spec as the touring car, so early bootlid group A wing...

Re: Volvo 242 powered by T5 in the UK....

No at some point in it's life, probably when converted to rhd it hD the later front and rear light fitted and a later tailgate. I'm not going to restore to original spec but will be using a mix of what I think are the best features from different years. Starting with ditching the later bootlid for a...

Re: Volvo 340 F7R HELP!!!

Check the coil pack is any good, they are notorious for playing up on the meganes. They break down internally and give a missfire situation under load.
