Intresting routing of the exhaust too.

Yeah, it prevents the rocks and other stuff hitting the exhaust.

I wonder what kind of prop he is running or does he have a torque tube setup. Also specs about the diff and the drive shafts would be nice.

Btw this place sells some fiberglass parts for 300-series.

Yep i knew why it was there, you just wouldn't want it to crack and pumo fumes into the cab.

I'd be interested to know more about the gearbox. It looks like an M45 with a bellhousing at the back...?!

cheers

That must be a M45. The bellhousing looks a little like a B18/B20 one but its not.
It would be good to know what the set up is.

What is the GRP bits they offer?

Breddade Bakskärmar = Widened rear arches
Breddade Framskärmar = Widened front wings
Dörr höger = Right side door
Dörrskin H+V = Door skin right&left
Motorhuv = hood
Spoiler = Spoiler

Stötfångare bak = Rear bumper
Stötfångare Fram = Front bumper
Stötfångare Fram med spoiler = Front bumper with spoiler
Övre Frontplåt = Front upper valance (part where the stock hood hinges are attatched)

It's weird that they've got the right side door, but not the left side.

That blue car in the pics was in a tarmac rally sprint event here in Finland some time ago.

There were couple 240s too and one very cool PV. http://www.kotamestaritrallisprint.com/galleria.php

Yeah the box is most definately a M45 as those are very popular in bigger rally cross Volvos and many shops make sequential dogboxes based on the M45. Sellholm, SSF-Wheel etc..

Because they leave the left side door usable so the driver can get in and out of the car. Not climb trough the window every time, like for instance in a nascar

Hmm that's true, why didn't I think of that.

Post by **Nikdev** » 06 Oct 2007 06:06 pm

Got some more info of the car, rear axle and prop is from a Metro!

The driver kept the solution with the trans axle because it gives a great balance, and because of the weight in the ass it has a quit start

It`s actually one more Rc 340 who has the same solution

Do you have more question? I have contact with the driver\owner..

I have asked him about the gearbox!

Sorry to say but the Norwegian "krone" is very strong at the moment

Usually 1£ = 13 nkr but now its like 1£ = 11nkr

If you are talking about the glass-fiber parts? Then its another story because its sold in Sweden, better for you i think

Post by **classicswede** » 06 Oct 2007 07:40 pm

Those prices are not so bad £1 = over 13 SEK

hmm thats got me thinking of a new project
