Mr.Borrie's 360 Cup

[mrborrie]

Hurray found me a pair of Koni red shocks for the back of the 360!
Also decided i need to replace the coffee black oil in the engine for some synthetic 5W40

[mrborrie]

Turns out one of the studs is bent and numb so i wont be installing them anytime soon
Not much left then to change to oil.. god knows the 360 needed it.. the oil was super black and smelled horrible

Just got back from a wrenchday day from the Volvo 300 club at a dealer.
Checked the valves for play, got the street tires balanced, and gungumed the exhaust just a small leak left thank god.
A member played around with the air meter to get better throttle from the engine.
Few tip is got was to get the injectors cleaned/redone and maybe get a new FPR.

[mrborrie]

just pored some ATF in each cylinder. It should soak overnight to get the piston rings back in position. since the LPG history its not strange for rings to get cooked up if the engine never runs on petrol. LPG use has been confirmed by prev owners (so start and running on LPG only never petrol)
Its worth a shot. I'm sure it makes some good clouds for photo's tomorrow

Nice sandals.

[mrborrie]

Lol thats the only thing you get from that?
Well anyway, thanks they are like these

[mrborrie]

No more headliner

[Speedy88]

lol post-pub speedy is a bit odd.

So are you getting better compression?

[mrborrie]

yeah compression seems to be a whole lot better now!

meanwhile i've did some small things

How hard can it be to get heat resistant blue paint? well took me a half day to find a can of caliper paint in a store.
Then i could finally paint my pretty new calipers. I really think its gonna look sweet under the BBS wheels. Gonna redo my entire front brake system in a few days when i get my brake pads.

Paint is not that light blue btw is the sun/flash that made them look that way




I have been collecting some nice bits that will go on soon, meanwhile i found a batterybox on a fleemarket.
it looked crappy yellow but was never used and talked it down to E7,50 so i had to take it.
Home i decided i really could not live with yellow so blue it is

[volvosneverdie]

nice. looks great dude.

[garth]

Loving this!

[mrborrie]

Replaced the spring for 220LBS ones, new SS lines, Pagid brakepads, new calipers, brakefluid and swaybar endlinks and new toyo trampio's tires. Car feels so much better now! i'm ready for the trackday at Zolder next week

[volvodspec]

where's the big nut that holds the shock in place?

[mrborrie]

hidden under the bumpstop?
