Volvo 480 Club Europe

Sorry, I had thought about keeping the car but have decided to swap the engine over into my clio. The clutch needs doing and overall I would just prefer to keep my clio... Lovely cars though 480's a given! The loom on my 480 turbo should be fine though as a straight swap over, transfer the turbo eng...

I mean if the car doesn't have aircon is that a benifit?

I believe the car has abs, from what the ad stated when purchasing the car, but I don't think it has aircon? If it does have aircon is that a benifit? I need to look closer when I get home from work.

Anyone?

I'd even donate the whole car if it really came to it...

Tried the vin it's the es original vin so don't know what clutch is fitted I will measure the clutch once the engine is out and order a paddle clutch

I'm after someone to help me with advice, maybe even get their hands dirty? Ideally I wouldn't mind some help taking my engine/loom out of my 480 es turbo. I've got tools, got an engine hoist being delivered tomorrow. Everything on the car works and I'd be more than happy to donate some parts for th...

Oh yea I know that one is there but I'm saying, the engine was converted to the car but not the vin plate from the turbo so I have no clue what car it's from year etc... Do the engines have vin numbers on? Anyone? Night jim

Argh brillian I was looking for that thread I read it the other day but couldn't find it, is there a vin on the engine anywhere? That should allow me to identify what year etc the turbo engine came out of etc...

Ok,but the car is registered as a 1.7 ES so I doubt the vin will be from the turbo the engine came from...

Whats the chances that clutch will fit? Is a paddle clutch any good?

I've got her! Wow she's fast! Torque steers like a b***h! Clutch slips too as she boosts like you wouldn't imagine! P'd all over 3 boy racers on the way home :p Could someone please search eBay using this item number 160586155954 and tell me if you think its a decent clutch? And whether it should fi...

So then as the topic states I am starting to become excited... As tomorrow after work I am going to collect my 1993 Volvo ES Turbo that's been richmodded and is running 25psi of boost... :hopping: Initially I was planning to take the engine out and fit it into my RSi Clio but over the past few days ...

That is the one yea, why?

It's been resisted due to him being messed about, I'm collecting it on Sunday, spoken a good bit, got address etc...

Sorry if I sound thick but is that thread related to th Volvo I'm buying? Looks to be a different one...
