Nikdev and his 360 Gl....
Re: Nikdev and his 360 Gl....
Nikdev, I just wanted to say that this car is possibly the sole reason that i now own a 300.
Awesome development from the car you first bolted some wheels to, into the full-on machine it is today. I hope that i can reach this level of win one day.
Keep it sideways, and keep it volvo!

Re: Nikdev and his 360 Gl....
Got any pics of fitting the S114 coil overs tot he front end?
Re: Nikdev and his 360 Gl....
Thancks for the nice commet guys!
uuups got one pic to times on that last page.. It not such a big job, just cut off the originale legs and weld the bottom sleve of the coilovers on, like this:
but the problem is that xyz coilovers are a bit long so you cant get the cat low enough and still keep it drivable.. too short stroke on damper\spring=bouncy ride and you get the 3-wheel action.. Believe me it was not easy to drive it
So I raised the front end a bit and attended a auto slalom event to see if it became nice to drive
And yes much more controllable! Btw check out the lock, modified steering knuckles for the win!
but i cant have a track car that's higher than my daily......................................

Re: Nikdev and his 360 Gl....
So today, after christian got home from work we made this:
Christian is super steady with that welder:
Later on after some hours of construction, measuring and welding the front went from this:
to this:
And the ride height with lots of travel on the damper: (and i can still adjust it allot more further down )
Job done! Just some painting to do tomorrow

Effort mate the travel is the issue i had on my coilovers so i'm sinking the bottom of the coilover through the hub to do the same thing.

Nice work on the interior and the towers look great now you've given them a lick of paint.
