    240 Budget Drift Suspension

    By Bungcheezy

    Hello, I just got a clapped manual 240 for dirt cheap and got it running nice. I already have a few expensive projects going on and can't afford to spend a ton on coilovers, or have the time to do any crazy custom fab work. My goal is to use it as a drift missile and spend as little as possible. I don't need it to be perfect, just usable. I was wondering what suspension setups are recommended, if its possible to use oem style struts on cut springs without blowing them out immediately, etc... Read more

    By mikec4193

So my question of the day is...what are the most costly parts to replace on these old PV544's??? Thanks for any insight. MikeC

    Help with a 1983 245 D24T swap

    By nemesiss45

    I picked up a diesel 245 yesterday. The price was low enough, I wasnt stopping to ask questions, but when i got home and started inspecting it, I realized it is a 245 Turbo that had a D24T swapped in. I knew picking it up that it was not running, but the guy said it had been running (poorly) but was no longer running. The wiring is all over the place... the factory ignition switch was chopped and there is an aftermarket switch that seems to enable a push button start. There is a switch... Read more

    new old rack leaking

    By gothink3

    Woke up to a dinner plate sized puddle of pink fluid under the ‘93 240. Trans fluid level is fine, just a slight weep at the cooler line bolt at the rear of the pan, nothing major. The pink was actually power steering fluid (ATF). It was below the cold mark so I topped it to hot level. Took the crash plate off and saw fluid dripping out of the boot, so I popped the passenger side boot and about 1/4 cup came out. Cleaned it all up and turned the wheel left and right on stands, no leak so far... Read more

    Luca Car Mods Camber plates

    By Niall

    Hey everyone, I haven't probably done all the research I could have but I was wondering if anyone as had experience with camber plates on stock shocks and struts. I was curious about the fitment into the spring "well", and whether or not B6 shocks are compatible with the plates, The reason I was thinking of going this route is because I've heard a lot of bad things about the rubber mounts these days, and twice the price for a life long adjustable plate doesn't seem terrible to me...

    This is my first project thread Going for 10's? History: I have spent more than 10 years on TB soon after I got my first Volvo in 2007... sure it started off as just transportation as the point in my life I just needed practical. but being a car guy as it is, it didn't take long for me to start looking for ways to make it faster and faster. I'm a little late starting a project thread as the car has already gone through a number of upgrades and transitions, so I will just start... Read more

    780 amp DIN cable pinout/adapter?

    By D-Man9000

    Has anyone ever found/created a pinout for the DIN cable that the 780(and presumably others) use? I'm replacing the speakers after I saw their incredibly sad state replacing the rear window frames. So I've gone ahead and ordered some new speakers and got to thinking about replacing the head unit with a retro unit from either Blaupunkt or Pioneer. But I'd like to keep the amp in use.

    This was a true barn find, sitting for 10-15 years. Unfortunately the guy took it out of the barn to try to sell it to someone else, right before they flaked. So I picked it up. It was a package deal with two 140s that @fatcatbestcat took. We spent a day going back and forth towing the vehicles to my with... Read more

    1991 745 driver's brake light failure

    By rstarkie

    1991 745 122K Prior to starting the car all three brake lights come on when pressing the pedal. After turning the key to the run position the driver's side light goes out. After starting the car the driver's side brake light remains off when pressing the pedal. I have removed the bulb holder and cleaned all possible contacts associated with the holder and the taillight. I also tried wiggling the bulb holder when the car is running, but it did not change the malfunction (no bulb... Read more

    1996 940 Electric Mirror conversion?

    By Volvo940guy

    Hello all I have a 1996 Volvo 940 with a b230fk and a m90, the only options it has from factory are sunroof and the turbo I guess, I've been told before that if I just bought a set of leccie mirrors and the control panel (as well as the plain mirror covers) that it would just plug in to the factory harness? I can see this being true but just wanted to see if anyone had done/could confirm this? Thank you <3 (fyi its a uk market car)

    Good fellows, I am attempting to prep the car for a 24 Hours of Lemons race and looking for wheel tire combo suggestions. I have the original Virgo wheels plus a full size spare and all have 5 basic Falken street tires. I have never raced the car other than an autocross ( short stint in a parking lot ). I was planning on running what is on there, but may regret that decision.....?

    1982 245

    By humbert

    Well, I've done it. At age 89, I bought a 1982 245. 2K. It's pretty rough, but salvageable. Now I have to figure out K-jet. First thing. I looked under the hood and on the passenger side there was this wire that was supposed to plug into some sort of round thing near the top of the engine. The car was running ok, but when I plugged the wire into the slot in the round thing, the revs went nuts, like 2000 RPM. So, first things first. What is the round thing and why did the engine rev like it... Read more
