Howdo ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls!

I'm Si from Mansfield and I'm now the proud owner of a trick 340.

1.7 turbo lump
Paddle clutch
Welded diff
Fmic
Dv
Oil temp/pressure and boost gauges
Front exit exhaust
Lowered/hardened suspension
Stripped interior 2 bucket seats
Rs turbo fuel pump
Adj FPR
15" ats cups
Raid steering wheel
HID lights
Prob a few more bits I've forgot


Anyway HI

that looks like a load ov fun on 4 wheels!

I'm probably really thick but what is Fmic & dv?

Sorry,

It means front mount intercooler and dump valve

Excuse the dash


Exhaust


Sparse interior


Excuse the rather large number plate. A smaller more fitting one will be on soon


Few more things to sort (mod) exhaust and manifold to be made in stainless steel. Roll cage (if I can find one), wheels re-furb and just a general tidy up.

Cheers

Si

I like the square number plate!,
There's no excusing eating the volvo's wonderful plastic finish on the dash though, no matter how hungry driving makes you, there is a drive thru food place near almost everyone in the uk!.

Not guilty for chewing the dash it was already like it. Plate wise I'm after something a bit smaller more subtle, this one sticks out like a sore thumb.

That's a fair car that i think!, looks fun!. I didnt know that the turbo from an escort rs is it like a mk4 escort's rs turbo fit's to the 1.7 renault lump!, you got any engine photo's mate?

It's the 1.7 turbo lump out of the Volvo 440, the only thing that's Rs turbo
Is the fuel pump as the standard one wasn't up to the job.
I'll get some more photo's over the weekend if the weather holds out.

Fun isn't the word it'll light the tyres up in 1st, 2nd and 3rd in the dry! You have to be seriously careful in the wet!

It's a laugh a minute, I've never had so much fun in a car

Great stuff mate! Loving the exhaust.

Welcome to the cool club.

andy what size tyres you got on those mini lights?

running 175 50's on the front and 175 60's on the back

I couldn't tell ya mate I'm Afraid. I brought it as it is all done. It's been done properly though looks factory fit, just needs a few bits tidying up

Nice nice nice! A bit battered in places but just seems to add character. Love the exhaust and of course those ats cups Best factory wheel for the 300 series imo

Can't put up a thread like this without engine bay pics... it's against site rules or something

This a pretty nice car, Im not a regualar fan on drift 340s, so thats a big complement
