Volvo 480 Club Europe

Yes I find myself looking at 340 / 360s . I cant help myself

Is it cureable or am I being stoopid

I keep thinking its big and I can toss bikes and everything into it and who cares its not a 480

bolt a big kick ass towbar onto it. Use and abuse it like a big tractor!

Do it

i love my 360, can take it out and throw it around and not worry about it getting damaged

You could go for a 7xx or 2xx volvo aswell, bigger boot, better tractor.

You must not ignore these RWD pangs!!


The needs are incurable and once you have the RWD you become hooked!

right on!

I still miss my 744 turbo

Yeah, driving reverse only to finally have RWD really is difficult in rush hour.


and, oh, my neck.

Skip the 240 if you want to get sideways, my dad had a 240 glt and the only ssurface i could get it sideways on was gravel!
Was pretty funny seeing a huge car like that sideways though!

I got my parents 240 sideways quite a bit.....

get 700 series it has a better balance than the 200, or a 300 with a turboengine. 300 has a perfect weight balance,

Plus there is something about the 700 series saloon (especially in black!) which looks so "pimp" but without having to get the windows tinted or the car lowered, it just looks so good as it is!!

Barge-like RWD cars will often understeer a lot before they oversteer. They will be lairy in wet conditions if you are going all-out, I imagine; I will have to wait until I'm on a track to find out.

turbobricks is the place for big volvo rwd chat. Very good forum.

Did I miss something :: 300 series turbo ???

I know the 300 series 2.o is great fun but didn't know there was a turbo ??

There isn't but I think a lot of people are fitting B18FTs in them!

also the red block turbos find their way into the 360.

get a 340, they are top rate fun.....the polycrap diff is a bit of a pain, sometimes strips but they are damn good clean fun

get one, its only 1 more car after all

Still havn't got it finished though, it's parked a fair way from me. Only custom part on there is the exhaust manifold, and it will need a custom downpipe too. Redblock turbo's are slightly easier to do, but I was attached to that car (a 340 rather than a 360)

the polycrap diff is a bit of a pain, sometimes strips but they are damn good clean fun

Eh?? The diff is not a worry at all, unless someone has been at it with a MIG. I've never known one fail, the box/diff combo is fine as long as you don't spend all day spinning up one wheel. The prop on 340s on the other hand...

i belive a 360 with a b18ft engine is meant to be quite good fun, or so i am told any way, saying that a standard 340 isnt to bad as long as your happy to wait a cuple of centuarys to get any form of acceleration from them!

Just wondering, what is (or means) a red block turbo ??

thanks and greetz
