Gidday, Scrolling through E bay today and came apon an add for performace chips giving an extra 20HP for a 240. Now this could well be a con job but I know...
... make sure its actually a chip upgrade and not a resistor inline with the temp sensor or air mass meter. most of the ones of ebay are the resistor type...
greetings, bought a set of 15inch 6inch 940 steel rims a while back with a set of potenza G3 205/60/15 tyres on em. 80% tread etc etc. Now compared with a...
Les, I very much doubt there would be much truth to it at all. For the older ECUs, there are a couple out there that can be soldered or plugged in to the...
Andrew, your right a narrow steel rim will be lighter than a 7" wide 16" alloy rim,,,, but an equivalent low profile 7" wide tyre will run rings around your...
Righto, so I'm looking to get some rims for the 244, but it seems that the certain rims I am after (Enkei RZ-5) aren't made in a 5x108 bolt pattern. Also,...
Gidday, Thanks for the feed back. Infact it was while scrolling (no good at surfing)through E bay I came upon the Chips. No intention of going any further. The...
No auotmatic need to swap discs, but it depends on whether the outside diameter of the Volvo front hub and rear axle flange is large enough to accomodate ...
Falcon or Commodore, I'm not too fussed which one. Whichever is easier really, as you said both bolt patterns are common. So providing it all fits on properly...
Frank, IMO and after a LOT of investigation, it isn't worth doing. You wont find the correct rotor-hat offset with the same size rotor in either a 5x120 or a...
The rims you are looking at are nice but they only come in 4x100 or 5x114.3 so it will have to be falcon, also am not sure of what offsets are available Boyd ...
From a personal point of view, I wouldn't re-drill the rotors and wouldn't be comfortable with re-drilled rotors on my car. But its certainly a possibility. I...
The other half is making serious noises about buying a mid~late 1990s 850 or V/S70, and retiring the 88 740T. If I was to remove the motor and ECU (for a 240T ...
Frank A few years ago I chose a popular 12 spoke alloy rims from Speedy Wheels that came from the factory as undrilled blank with 20mm offset (std for Volvo)....
Not really sure Nathan, 740s generally are available fairly inexpensively of late anyway, so I'd think that an engineless one might be difficult to move. On...
Hi all, I might have the chance to save the head/motor out of the above mentioned vehicle...Is there any interest in such an animal or should I just let it go...
Yes, you should save the head at least. I'll happily give you some money for it, even... They're a good thing, but have limited appeal because the 16V blocks...
ok thank you all for all your suggestions. i will just use up the 15s and they do nicely keeping the car off its belly in the garage while i build it. might...
It's interesting to hear about all these things. It's not the first time I have heard of people having difficulties with ROH. As it stands now, they do not...
"a lip to sit on the centre bore to take the weight of the wheel properly, rather than have the wheel studs take all the weight. " This is one of the biggest,...
He he. Nice rant Nathan! J The SOLE purpose of a lip, hub-centric ring or whatever anyone would like to call it is simply to locate a wheel when the holes in...
Hi there everyone, we're selling our 1995 850T5 wagon - Some of you have seen it in person so have some idea of how its been looked after. 166kw 5 cylinder...
G'day all, Now that the 1JZ conversion is complete, I have my old bits and pieces for sale from the 244. B23E ~1983 405 Head H cam Head gasket done 2 years...
Has anyone fitted the independent rear suspension from a 760 (I have an 88 model) into a 740 wagon (90 model in my case)? Or looked into doing it, or maybe...
