I'm running a mk2 clio 172 gearbox, lots of various codes of these available, but you could just run a standard 480 box if you wanted and tbh probably easier as don't need to muck around with speedo sensor wiring...!

Re: FOR SALE - 4x Volvo 480 SE, Celebration, & GT models - North West England

Hi Jonathan,

could you provide any photo's of the cars to show overall general condition and a guide on pricing if possible? it may help us help you to track down a new home, your father in law sounds like most of us on here, you don't often just own one 480....!

cheers - Fraser

Re: Anyone managed to fit 8" wheels?

Hey,

regarding the front spacers, you'll only need that on coilovers, i think if you were on normal springs be ok! since the spring cup sits above the wheel on a standard set up if you know what i mean?

haha cheers! mine still needs re-instated for the road....!
