setting up a 360

[wiganer31]

hello, now i know stuff like this and people have asked simular questions before and i have read alot but im on about setting my 360 up and have my own questions and there will be more to come

i have a v360 with a b230fk as a track/drift car, i have no thoughts of selling the car anytime soon and will be doing alot of drift days in it this year so want to set it up proper for drifting, but i want to know different suspension setups,lock mods, bushes and different parts and were to buy them from, so far i know of classic swede on here and another guy but thats it,

so far its just lowered the trampy was but want to do it proper soon so need advive, what lock mods are there for the 300's? any info and pics?

what have other people done?


cheers

yea ive seen a few bits on there that i want a while ago but looking for other things that they dont appear to have

[classicswede]

What extra bits are you looking for?

I'm hoping to expand the range this year so ideas are welcome.

ermm i havent looked into it but something the way of a lock mod would be good, cant think atm even though ive spent all day under a a 360, might be in touch about some drifty suspension soon

This sounds good. Maybe the rubber bushes for the rear radius arm which IIRC are NLA

In response to the actual topic, Dai's adjustable dampers seem to get very good opinion's off everyone. Maybe replace the strut top bearings to help get the steering back into shape before doing the mods? they are available from :

SKF VKD35012
This is the bearing only - not the complete top mount.

Get from:-

Any good bearing supplier under the SKF number,
ECP under part no.669750010
Skandix under part no. 101858

Some DIY suspension bracing : http://www.volvo300mania.com/forum-uk/v ... e&start=15
Rear anti-roll bar might be worth a try : http://www.volvo300mania.com/forum-uk/v ... r&start=30

I braced the bottom arms on mine at the same time as the polybushes, springs and new dampers so couldn't tell you if it made a feelable difference.
I'm also going to give a rear anti-roll bar a shot.

Hope that helps

Rubber might be better but this is solid;

Aye seen that, Think I would probably go your route but I reckon the bushes would still be worth making for some people who just want a cheap fix.

How is the one you made? much increase in road noise? Might give doing it a shot, maybe one for the other side too

Gonna be a while before its tested.
