Nimminz' 340 DL
Posted: 10 Sep 2017 12:39 pm
So my 2nd shot at 300 ownership. The car's a 1986 340 DL 1.4 in Red, because red cars are the best!
The car came with a welded 3.64:1 diff, 5-speed box fitted. 3" blocks at the back, chopped 3" springs at the front. OMP super dishy wheel and silly long gearlever
Since i got the car on the 21st August I have :
Fitted rear speakers, Replaced Thermostat, Adjusted carb to run nicer, Fitted new standard backbox, Standard wheels with new 165/65/13's. Fitted a new driver's door handle, Tightened the LOOSE bolts on the driveshafts and re-packed with grease. Fixed speedo drive. Fitted 2" Classicswede springs at the front, along with poly ARB droplinks and a set of gas shocks. Not had time to do the blocks. Gave it a good wash and a bit of a polish.
,,
So it might look like i'm putting the car to standard but no not really. The things im looking at in the future include a much more modern renault engine and Fuel injection. E-PAS would be nice, i have a corsa column already. A LSD would suit me more than the welded one but hey it's fun for now. I'm happy getting bits ready for the MOT on the 28th for now, and just enjoying having a fun car again.
I'll try keep on top of this thread, my instagram will be more up to date ... @nimsport
Thanks for looking
