360 GLS Racing car from Italy - Balabiott Racing Team

Post by Balabiott RT » 24 Nov 2022 09:39 am

Hello there!
we're an italian group of friends, so-called "Balabiott Racing Team" (btw, please follow us on instagram :lol: ) and we participate to this goliarding endurance races championship called "foxrunning" (have a look at this video for a better understanding https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bL4exlYwpMQ).
We've participated to 7 endurance competitions with "Vuvuzela", our beloved Audi80 B2, but we suddendly realized it has too many structural problems now and we have to replace it with something that... is worth it in terms of "legendary participation to endurance races" :D

So, seeking on the web this tremendous Volvo 360GLS found us. It's a stunning blue one, with no-less-than 647.000 km on its back 8) :shock: and we thought that we had to give it a proper place in the cars legends book 8)

Here you'll find the google photo album with all the images we have so far: https://photos.app.goo.gl/5V58jebBPNqUra266

We'll get it soon (for the moment we only closed the deal with the seller): we will present it as soon as it will be in our hands.

Indeed we're seeking for advices from you!
Consider that it will have to drive fast on tracks for 8-to-12 hours races sm4
We're thinking about:
- changing any gummy component (silentblocks/engine supports/pipes...) that might create problems
- changing the clutch
- lowering the car with new sport absorbers/coils
- emptying the interior and install a rollbar
- maybe swapping the engine with... [complete the sentence :lol: ]

Did someone else here do the same thing as we're doing?
So, thanks for welcoming us: we'll be studying the forum and post questions into dedicated topics 340pw
