Hello
Morning all,
Wanted to introduce myself. I'm very new to volvo's, I'm normally a VW man but thought id give this a go.
Just bought my first 340.
35,000 miles
completely standard
0 rot or rust
Really excited to get my teeth into it.
If anyone has any advice, I'd really appreciate it
Thanks
Dan

Re: Hello
I'm not too sure where the garage is, it'll be in Kent somewhere as that's where the guy lives.
Those are the photos from his for sale ad, it's been too dark for me to get my own

Re: Hello
Plans are a serious drop and a lovely set of wheels.
Any information on 5 link set ups and coilover conversions for the front? all i can find are the expensive coilovers from performance swede
Also, its a 4 speed box on the 1.4, is there a 5 speed i can drop in without ruining the ratios. Don't want it to be too sluggish
Thanks

Re: Hello
Classic swede or Driftmoto for coilovers im afraid
if i remember correctly Classic swedes are cheaper than driftmoto
5 link is only available from driftmoto or custom make one
Not sure about ratios (but this would be more to do with the diff than gearbox) but to fit a 5 speed you also need the linkage as its different to a 4 speed

Hi Mate.
A five speed later modol 340 gear box will bolt streight on to your car car.
I drive a 1981 mk1 car and i have a 1991 gear box on it with 5 speeds.
I kept the origionall gear leaver though lol.
Cheers Mark.

I will be doing a bolt in 5 link setup soon
Yu can bolt in a complete 5 speed gearbox to replace the 4 speed
