EF/EL falcon front swaybars fit with no modification at all, aside from appropriately sized U-bushes. Available in 24mm, 26mm and 27mm. Not sure if these...
Do the seatbelts come out of the console above the handbrake or to the side on stalks like a 140?? the later Volvo 240 have the seatbelts on stalks... I'll...
So I've got this 1983/84 244DL and I am wondering what to do with it. It is in reasonable condition, but the paint is starting to die, and it's looking a bit...
unusual. from memory these kits come from a swedish company that did one for the 140 as well. There might be some photos on mr hydes web site of this. I think...
I think the company in Sweden that made the aftermarket kits was called GIK. Is the car a private import from overseas? I ask because I thought the 244DL's we...
The GIK kits that I've seen ran blow-through Webers or Dellortos. Might have to dig out the pic I've got to double check. Interesting point about the spec of...
You may find this was an experimental car as later on Volvo Australia imported 6 x 240 sedans that were factory turbo's, I believe they all went to Victoria...
I very much doubt Volvo would have produced a carby turbo car, especially as they were already producing the K-Jet 240 Turbo with the B21ET and B21FT for the...
The photo I've got (Hugh McInnes' Turbochargers, 1984 reprint) of a GIK kit shows a custom cast-iron exhaust manifold, external waste-gate, and Roto-Master...
How does it drive? Fun or ?? /dlh -- David Hallam -- 1*144, 1*145, 3*164, 1*240 looking for a 142!?! or a bigger yard Queanbeyan Australia -- This is 'Mac &...
this should clear things up nicely since am sure this could be dealer fitter. http://wwwrsphysse.anu.edu.au/~amh110/Technical_pages/r_sport_cat.htm ...
It is a comprehensive kit alrighty. I wonder what it would cost now (if it was still available)..... Gulp!! That is a Stromberg cd carb, presumably modified so...
True, although early 240's with the B21A had a similar cylindrical air filter and box as well, I'm not sure if that's exactly the same but they used the round...
On closer inspection of the photo you may be right, it does look more like a B20E unit than an early carby one. It would be interesting to see a photo of how...
Guys It was interesting to read all the responses. I have seen a few of them (but these were 1979 244 DL, not 83/84) and I think I have an article at home....
... MAD wrote years ago: A trading magazine had a 244 Turbo advertised as "one of 2 imported for 1982 Melbourne motor show" and I have also seen a genuine 244...
surely by 1982 volvo would have built these cars as k-jet rather than blow through system. The k-jet 240 turbos in the US were not far from release around this...
The 240 Turbo (B21ET and B21FT, both K-Jet) was released to North America and much of Europe for the 1981 model year, so it would be logical for Volvo ...
The question was asked about emissions rules and carby turbos. In the early~mid 1980s, if you ran all the original emissions gear, then adding a turbo was OK. ...
my 140 racecar has some very low springs in it. they are a dark blue colour. i dont know who made them but i do know they have a 750lb rating. This car is...
yup yellow. standard they can be up a bit depending on the batch. Love mine but they are not lowered. Mt 164 has lovells they are blue and lowered. They are...
I've got Kings 140 lowered front springs in my 164, it probably sits a bit lower than a 140 would with the same springs due to the extra weight in the front...
whats distance between wheel arch and centre of wheel with kings lowered 740 springs on the 164??? need to do something with rear end of 140 as its way too...
I'll measure it and post the details up when I get a chance, it may be a little while before I'm back at the shed where I store my 164 though. I have an...
