Hello mate, and welcome to the forum.
If youre looking to slam it, springs and blocks are available from classicswede in the for sale section, youre on your own with the wheel hunt though. Ive been trying to nab some for months!

[classicswede]

Welcome to V3M I hope you enjoy the cr and youyr stay here

[jonboisxr2i]

cheers fellas

will have a look at the lowering



picked up the 340 off kaos today

running like a bag of shit

but got about half way home when it cut out and wouldmt restart

so towed it the rest of the way home only to find out it had run out of petrol

guess the fuel gauge dont work as it said i had half a tank

owell

[volvosneverdie]

so whipped the rocker cover off

one of the pushrods on the inlet had come off the rocker arm

put it back together problem solved

If i'd have been bothered.......... lol

Runs like a bag of shit but ran none the less least its with some one that will get better use out of it than me. With regards to the guage, could be because its sat for a while. but check the connections under the boot floor through the hatch in the floor.

I'll check my tech books tomorrow when im alive and away from work. and get back on rockers if one of the guys hasnt.

Sorry i couldnt have been there but some ones got to pack the boxes where i work lol. I also hear you got a weee tour of my 16v...

[jonboisxr2i]

that would be kool if you could do that

the gauge seems to work now lol


your 16v gave me some ideas

looks like its goin to be a beast once done

[jonboisxr2i]
