Volvo 360 3dr 2litre turbo- big spec- £500

Post by Stav2 » 01 Jan 2010 10:35 pm

For sale on behalf of a friend (who I recently sold this car to! :lol: )

The fairly famous and magazine featured black Volvo 360 turbo is up for sale.

£500 NO OFFERS, as he is making a loss on it even as that, paid £900 for this a few months ago, and its better condition/spec now than it was when first bought!

ENGINE
Recently rewire of Megasquirt ECU
New Dizzy Cap, Leads, Ignition Coil, Fuel Filter, Fuel Pressure Regulator
Original B200e engine – 101k
Volvo 940 late spec turbo exhaust manifold
Mitsubishi 13c turbocharger – running standard boost 7.5psi
Volvo 940 turbo fuel rail, injectors and FPR
Vauxhall Frontera intercooler (front mounted with bodywork cut for direct airflow)
Megasquirt standalone ECU
Innovate LC-1 wideband lambda
Custom oil feed and return lines
Modified sump – had oil return ally welded into this
Custom exhaust system, 2.5” turbo back with a big Jap back box

CHASSIS
2 coils cut off the front springs
2” rear lowering blocks
Koni adjustable rear dampers
Obviously got GLT rear leafs (slightly lower and stiffer than all the other 340/60 springs)
Increased steering lock/angle
Welded diff – swapped for a lower mileage replacement, changed gearbox and diff oil at the same time
Horizontal hydraulic handbrake
Aftermarket gearknob and reverse lift mechanism removed.
Stock clutch- feels light, but no actual slip.
Locally fabricated rollcage, 4 point half cage with door bars welded to front arches. doesn’t meet any regulations, painted white but currently covered in black duct tape to make it more of a sleeper
8x Volvo alloys painted gloss black, the 5 spoke nice ones X4, and the normal ones X4.
Few spare drifty alloys too.

INTERIOR
Cobra Monaco driver’s seat, Cobra clubman passenger seat
All soundproofing removed and interior painted matt black – carpets have since been put back in to quieten it down a bit as they weight nothing
Window switches relocated to din panel
1ltr fire extinguisher

BODY
Black 3 door GLT – Rare as hell as it is
Original (not a copy) fibreglass body kit – very rare
Riveted on arches
Tinted side repeaters
Original bonnet latch mechanism removed – bonnet pins fitted
Steel rivited on bonnet vents
Hole-sawed front bumper for increased intercooler flow, and looks badass, lol
NO visible rust at all, seems a hell of a strong shell.


1986 D-reg, no T+T, but cant see anything it should fail on, but he dont care, wants it gone.
Drives perfectly, infact I have drove it for about 150miles non stop without it missing a beat.
This did belong jointly to me and Greig for a couple of months (still in Greigs name on V5) while we fabricated a few bits (not included) but recently sold it to a mate.
He has been using it as a daily (5mile round trip a day) for a while, but T+T has ran out now and he works 6-6 so has no time to do anything with it, jus wants it gone.

Car located in Cheltenham/Churchdown, Gloucestershire.

£500 NO OFFERS, as he is making a loss on it even as that, paid £900 for this a few months ago, and its better now than it was, just no T+T now.

Funnily enough, I have just re-read the copy of PPC that this car was featured in, and I must say, I'm really tempted, but little things like the mortgage, a toddler and paying off Christmas all get in the way :roll: Saying that , when I showed my wife, she didn't say " your not having one of those again " but actually commented that Cheltenham wasn't that far away from us !!

Just out of interest, who did you insure this with ? and did declaring all the mods cause any problems ?

I'm off to go and see how much money I can find down the back of the sofa !! :)

Would it be a little risky buying this car with NO MOT, especially with all the modifications it has had done, its far from standard under the hood and without a working knowledge of what has been uprated replaced I wouldnt know where to start..?

If only it had 12months test, i'd bite the hand off and be over tomorrow with the cash..

Slightly thirstier than what i was after but i wouldnt want to spoil a nice standard car just for the drifting scene.. too nice a cars to molest one for no reason other than that..

If its close, go and have a look round it is the best way.
Its not a super-practical daily anyway really is it?
more of a track car.
No interior, its gonna be a bit cold and a bit noisy for commuting of any distance. Welded dif for winter rounabout fun on the way there and back though. WINZ.
