good lad

saves me a lot af aggro :)

tbh i like the challenge tho - it will wait till i have me 3 door shell anyway so i can radically change the boot layout and thus give loads more clearance anyway.

will definately check his out tho, cheers

EDIT when the site gets updated lol

I think i've heard of nev before... a bit of a legend, so they tell me

He sells it as a kit, but I'm sure he would weld it in for you if you asked. No idea on price. Also, it's developed for 340's, there's a small chance that fuel tank issues might have an effect on 360's, I'm sure Nev will be able to advise.

Hehe :oops: But that's mainly because of my 2,5" exhaust combined with stripping of the car.. you can image it now, bigger engine and the Weber's, whaaaaaaaaaaaaaam!

And I agree with stuartB about the exhaust, its a pain to make if you want it done properly, took a lot of time to get mine on a acceptable level! And its loud even though i got 2 silencers

And lowering wise why not just save up some money and buy all Dai`s bits? Made wonders on my car

Im seriously not worthy... did you just say webers?? nice.

much roaring and popping later i bet you get a PROPER grin on your face lol.

I actually got webers for mine (twin 40's) but ended up deciding to put them on the vauxhall red top (C20XE) lump thats going in the mini instead. should be good for a grin but that leaves me with no new carbs for Ovlov... hmm

i WAS thinking turbo and TB's (see below) but now im thinking "where did you get the weber manifold and did you have to sell part of your body to obtain it?" i got quoted nearly 300 quid!! screw that id put a turbo on for that money

Don't need those Tb`s on a turbo engine, way too expensive never seen it on a Volvo before, and i have seen a few!

Got the 45`s pretty cheap, 2x45 brand new with manifold and filters = 800£ :roll:

Back to rear supspension you would be amazed how much difference the right dampers make. Ask anyone who has had a set from me.

They worked wonders on my 340. I've never known dampers make so much difference to a cars road holding

I'll vouch for the spax dampers. It's stupid how well my 340 corners. Considering its obvious design weaknesses there's no way I should be able to harass newer hatchbacks, yet I caught a 106 GTi through the twisties the other night.
