1992 Volvo 240, Turbo, T5...

[t.han]

those steelies are clean

[mikey G]

Brakes are going to look nice

[zipnip]

awesome ride, love it!

done the same with my struts actually, works nice!
are you planning on using some spacers between the wishbone/control arm and the strut? i've never done that on all my other cars, but the one i roll with now i mounted some from kaplhenke, and it made a huge difference, car rides much better.

[DaveD]

Cut the strut towers for the camber plates, coilovers are complete, roll correctors in, and it started right up after sitting over a month and I moved it into the driveway to be away from the salt for the rest of the winter. Stupidly I didn't change the tie rod length and I have about an inch of toe out on each side. Next on the list is rear brakes/lines/bleed and fix the crack in my header.

[DaveD]

Scored a set of 16" HRE 504s for $350. Gonna build them up over time with 4"-5" lips and powdercoat the centers and bolts.

[P78]

what happened to the fittipaldi's?

[Earl]

What a steal...

[DaveD]

These were $350 and the fittipaldis can't be drilled to 5x108

[Keith602]

Those HREs are going to look amazing!

[DaveD]

Had my brother weld the crack in my header and I glass beaded it along with the exhaust housing...I picked up VHT Flameproof Clear so I'm going to coat them in that and see how it works.

My wet dream volvo. Superb.

[DaveD]

Haven't really made progress because of the weather but it's starting to warm up a bit so I'll be getting a lot done soon.

My list right now is...
-Box and extend control arms
-Install longer inner tie rods
-New front tires
-Alignment
-Remove rear sway bar
-Swap in 4.10 ring and pinion
-Box trailing arms
-Trailing arm bushings
-Swap in 300# rear springs
-Rear pads/rotors
-Delete abs block up front
-Bleed brakes
-Relocate battery to trunk

I have everything to make all of this happen I've just been waiting on the weather.

Hey man, this is amazing! I'm looking at buying a 80' 240 wagon right now. Also from central jersey and currently a college student. Hope to end up at h20 soon

[DaveD]

Got a sealed battery box to put in the trunk for future intercooler clearance and potential engine bay refinishing



And my brother got an aluminum 5.3 from a friend for free so I stole 4 of the coils for future megasquirt adventures

[DaveD]

Crack in header fixed, new vband flange made for Holset, battery moved to trunk, rotors pads and lines done, brakes bled, ghetto alignment done



Finally got to drive it with the short struts and roll correctors and the front feels so perfect and rides way better than I expected at 450#. I have 350# in the rear but it's too stiff so I'm gonna drop to 300#. Still a ton to do but I will be driving the car a lot now.

Goals for the next couple weeks
-4.10 r&p swap
-Extend/box control arms
-Shorten/box trailing arms
-ABS delete
