86' Volvo 244dl "marta"

I personally think the later 850 bumper looks better to be honest.

And I might know that girl with the Starion haha. We're a tight-knit group. It looks familiar to me anyway.

lols!!!!! it was a dude and apparently he had rebuilt his motor and upgraded some things, it was autotragic though : / we told him he should do a manual swap and he was like naw ima build the tranny and get a shift kit. garrett and I looked at each other like wtf.... oh well different strokes for different folks i guess.

and im just not a fan of the 850 cut off lips. i mean some look good with it but idk i like the angle that the stock flipped lip comes down at ya know. i wanna get something to set it of just a little bit like a diffuser in the front but at the same angle of the lip if that makes sense. just to see if it would look ok.

well i guess this goes against my inner thoughts of not wanting a newer volvo lip but since i have a spare s70 front bumper im gonna cut the lower lip off and see how it looks on the 240. ill probably paint it black im sure it wouldnt look to good with a silver s70 lip lol. maybe it will turn out awesome maybe not. idk but i figured since i have it why the hell not.

on another note. my clutch adjustment screw thing on the cable is so worn on the inside of the bracket and plastic holder that it freely rotates way to much so i might order a new one im not sure yet, but for the mean time i put a hose clamp on each side of that adjustment screw and turned the whole outer rubber sleeve that goes over the cable so it wont adjust itself out or in anymore. its been working great so far but id rather have a regular working one instead of 2 hose clamps holding it in place.

lol whoops. Apparently not then haha. I actually want an automatic Starion or Conquest for a daily - I like mine, but something about cruising in a slushbox is more relaxing. I don't like banging gears all the time, I leave that for the race cars.

Also, that little plastic adjuster is the biggest pain in my ass ever.

[jer19423]

im not sure if i should even replace it cause its doing its job damn well now that i re adjusted and put those hose clamps on.

well i was about to order the u joints and the CSB kit andn O/D relay from IPD buuuut fcpeuro was cheaper. yet when i got the damn package there was 2 of 3 U joints and the center support bearing, with out the rubber housing and spring and washer to go with it, and surprise surprise there wasnt even the fucking 42 dollar relay in there. they say they will be sending me the rest but it seems as tho they didnt believe me at all
