I'd be up for buying some dampers F+R, and i'd be happy to go with a group consensus as to which variety.

Hmmm. I'm swamped by ideas now. obviously the first choice would be a 2.3 TIC but that means taking the car off the road :? and I don't really want to do that soon. Not that it's outside my capabilities, i've swapped a couple of engines before and i'm about to start a project involving this: http://...

Hasn't dropped off yet, though a copper gave me a right dirty look earlier, but it only has to last til friday mo...

Thanks for the help. I'd be totally happy with around 150hp, as that was what my beloved old cavalier had. that much in a lighter car would be great, and a nice even torque spread will help my drift ambitions. If it turned out i needed more power i could consider a VW G-charger or similar. As for th...

Good luck with it mate, it certainly is a unique ride. I'd have snapped it up if I didn't already have 3 cars and one drive! :(

I'm being 'forced' to consider induction. HA! HA! Get it?

Ok then, one for all the tech-heads out there! After reading too much 'practical performance car' magazine, i've decided i need a cheap forced induction setup. i want to use a supercharger from a beemer mini, as they're cheap and cheerful. Does anyboy know how many psi my b200 will be able to take? ...

"custom" exhaust modification adventure

So, last saturday, my mate says "fancy taking me to leeds to pick up some bucket seats?". He's banned for another 8 months now, and building a very interesting 205 while he waits, so of course i agree. We're doing about 80 down the A1 when the backbox just snaps where the pipe goes into the box at t...

P.S.
the most annoying thing about my 440 was when the gearbox detonated and jammed the front wheels somehow, leaving me needing to remove a driveshaft to even tow it! :roll:

I could not agree more with all of the above. For anyone interested in finding out more reasons to hate Bush, i'd recommend watching the two most recent Michael Moore films, as they're real eye-openers. On the subject of Revelations being written by some guy on mushrooms, i can easily believe that, ...

Re: hello, i'm new

hello there to all volvo 300 owners/admirers. i purchased an '89 360 glt a little while ago This gave the game away for me that it was a GLT!
